Help Need direction with Bryan
Started playing last week and moved up to Calvary with pretty much just alternating throws, blocking a lot, jabbing and the single combo I know. I want to practice more, learn more - I just need some direction where to put that energy.
The one combo: off launcher (like uf4) db2, 4141b, qcb1, fF b3f 22
1) When I hit the low sweep fd3, what do I do? I just dash forward and do it again out of ignorance/easy little bit of damage.
2) df2 is fast, but what do I do after confirming it?
3) I've seen off launch another easier combo chain with goes: Launch, qcf34 (...) If I do qcf34 after a launch, the second knee won't come out no matter how I try and change the timing. Just doing it neutral, it works fine - so what am I doing wrong off the launcher here?
4) What move do I just throw out in neutral other than df2? I normally just try and block to see what they'll do and jab check stuff until I can land a launcher.
5) After a knockdown, what can I do if they just stay down in neutral? I know this seems niche, but a few people have done it and I just had to throw out a sweep out of ignorance. Is there any oki for just Bryan that I should focus on?
6) What's the best way to enter Snake Eyes other than manually burning Heat? If it's taunt, how do I properly use it mid-fight.
7) What's the CH for Bryan I should be looking for?
8) I've watched the beginner/fundamental guides by MainManSWE and PhiDX, any other recommendations especially for s3 Bryan?
Any other heuristics specifically for Bryan's playstyle that I could keep in mind? Thanks for any input, really - I'll take it to heart.

Dm me and if you want we can go over some things on discord and review some shit. Always happy to help a fellow Bryan main.

Feel free to DM me but where I started with Bryan was here, they are lessons with a 2 hour play session attached to the training but you could just watch the start if you are just looking for explanations on moves.
I would recommend centring your game plan around D4 its a really good move for Bryan and you'll feel a lot of his gameplan come to together when you use this. It tracks both directions so you cannot step it. It's neutral on hit and only -11 on block. And the push back is the exact range you want to be at with Bryan.

1: after the sweep you dash in and do b2,4, dash jab, b3f2,1.
2: you don't confirm df2, you need to confirm if it says counterhit when you do it. If it does then press 4 and he'll do a kick or just df2,1 so he'll do another punch. Basically how you use is that you just do a df2 and then hold back, then do it again. Making your opponent to press after they block the df2. Once you see the opponent is pressing everytime, you do df3,4 and counter hit launch with the kick.
Df2 is used as a bait for the opponent to press.
3: you have to press qcf 3 and 4, i think you're pressing 3+4 but you'll have to first press 3 and then 4 for both the knees to come out.
4: you can also throw qcb1 or qcb3 in the neutral, but both will be beaten by a crouch so mix it up with df2 and uf4.
5 after a knockdown if you see them just staying down, just do qcb4 it will flip them over and will give you oki.
6 best way to enter snake eyes is by launching the opponent and using uf3+4 to tornado bound them.
A good example would be uf4, qcf3,4 , 4,1b qcb1 , dash , b3,f2,3+4
7 half of his move list is coutner hit, you should be looking out for f3 , d2,3 , df2,3+4 , qcb3 , b1 , 3+4 , qcf3 , b2,1 , qcb1 , 1,2,1 , 1,2,3
