One thing that works for me is thinking of things like combos, anti airs, punishes, or whatever maneuvers as your tools. If there is a tool you want or need, develop it. Do it in practice mode repetitively, then start using it in matches so you can learn to actually use it on someone and learn its situations. After doing that a while, when the situation for it arises, you'll be able to do it out of muscle memory.
