Mid Range Help

I have been learning Shun and VF5 for a few weeks since the game came out for the 360, but I'm still having trouble with certain situations.

Like a mid range situation. If someone for example, Pai uses her /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif + /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif, it destroys a lot of my ranged moves, and I can barely defeat it by spacing using /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/db.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif + /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif + /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif + /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif and DM /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif + /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif it but I like to be offensive, and I still even have this trouble with drinks, the rainbow sabaki from SOU is sometimes a answer, but it is very slow compared to some of the mid range middle hitting moves other characters have it's quite difficult without them not rushing, and I only like to use the corkscrew headbut, but in rare situations as it is quite unsafe if blocked. Does anyone have any good advice on getting other characters mid range middle moves to whiff or be interrupted?

Thanks for your time, and advice in advance!

As you've said /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/db.gif//forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/ub.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif and DM are good for evading moves. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/db.gif//forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/ub.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif though doesn't move Shun back far enough to evade long range moves like Pai's /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif,/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif. Against this attack DM is the best option as you should recover with plenty of time for a Chouwan (/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/d.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/df.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif) combo.
