If something is wrong here let me know.

It ain't pretty but this should help you understand her flow for Chain Lollipop and what you can and can't do against it.

Notes:

- Fuzzy guarding probably won't be much help since the high/low are active on the same frame.

- Using Deflect shield gets rid of the guessing game while potentially granting you a whiff punish.

- If you can 6P then you can also do an invincible reversal.

- If you get hit once then you can't do anything until you're blocking again. If you try to 6P or reversal while in hitstun then you'll just get hit again. You must be blocking to get out.

- Always be aware of potentially getting grabbed after her mids should she choose to end Chain Lollipop. That's only a 4-frame gap you have so your options are either tech, backdash, or use a 3-frame move and god help you if you're wrong.

TL;DR: BLOCK THE HIGH-LOW AND WAIT FOR A MOVE YOU CAN 6P OR UNTIL THE END OF HER CHAIN WHILE BEING WARY OF GRABS FROM HER MID.

---------------------------------

ALSO PLEASE NOTE: If you 6P and she decides to do Bomb-Bomb Chocolat (pictured below) instead of going into Chain Lollipop off of a button then you're probably going to eat a full combo.

You can react to this with a jump grab or c.S depending on the spacing. If you're late, then the c.S will trade but you can usually still pickup the combo. Rarely will your timing be so off that you whiff the c.S on one side while she is safe on the other.
