How do you guys practice hit confirming?

Hey everyone, I really need some advice on something I’ve been struggling with—practicing hit confirming. I’ve looked online, but I keep finding so many different suggestions, and it’s a little overwhelming. Here’s what I’ve come across so far:

1.  Set the block to random and react accordingly.

2.  Focus on the sound cues in the game to help with timing.

3.  Preemptively input commands while throwing out your normals.

4.  If your character has tricky inputs, start with a simpler character to get comfortable with the basics first (especially if you’re new to fighting games).

5.  And… someone bluntly said, “Just use simple inputs, you stupid girl!”

I’m honestly not sure where to start or what would work best. If anyone has tips or a method that really helped them, I’d love to hear about it!
