Got Vaseraga to master after much grinding, a couple thoughts

I have a lot of thoughts ranging wildly in volatility, but here's just two tame (but important) ones:

1: I have dropped so many combos because I can't get a coherent picture of my cooldowns as quickly as is necessary. I'm just not able to keep in mind how many seconds it's been since I've used something important, let alone for several moves. I find that his H specials are so vital in neutral AND in combos, but if I manage to snag a good corner combo starter I struggle to interpret which H specials I have available quickly enough while simultaneously comboing. If I had a hud option to move the cooldown icons to the bottom of the screen and make each one a bit more prominent and spaced, it would be a huge help. In Street Fighter, I find that I can glance at my meters (both drive and super) and in a flash understand the combo route I want, but I just can't seem to manage it in this game. It doesn't help that Vaseraga is huge and VERY OFTEN overlaps the upper hud.

2: Vaseraga has a problem where when I block a jump-in at the right distance/speed the opponent just slips behind Vaseraga's model and it is regularly incomprehensible which side the opponent will be on when he/she is visible again. I'm not a regular player of large-body fighters, but I've played a fair bit of Potemkin on Strive and I feel like this wasn't an issue. You could just say "use the dedicated guard button" but there are obviously important implications for directions needed for reversal specials or sidestep dodge. I'm not sure if it would have wide negative effects on balance but I think Vaseraga's model should collide a good deal further out from its center.

Anyway, fun game. Also happy to answer any questions or game if anyone's interested.
