It's ridiculously difficult to get close to anyone with more range than you. Oh wait. Everyone has more range than a Striker. The "best" combo I've found so far is to Tiger's Roar -> Muse Upper Cut -> Crushing Fist -> Bone Crusher -> Low Kick -> Hammer Kick. It nets the most damage but if your Crushing Fist goes too far, you may need to turn around giving them a chance to stand up. The flaw in this is you need to tank any hits with your Super Armor buff, which gives you very few chances, two, maybe three in an entire fight. That, and Tiger's Roar has pitiful range. Probably the shortest in the game outside of Basic Melee.

Mountain Pusher is a good starter since it has some Super Armour frames that allow you to get through a defensive wall but you'll have to tank a lot of damage. You should follow up with some Basic Attack if they stay standing and then enter a Muse. Otherwise, Low Kick -> Hammer Kick, back up and wait for them to stand and maybe try Muse to start again with its (pomegranatety) Super Armour or Tiger's to start a combo.

It's just impossible to dodge everything a Launcher, or anything a Gunner can do, for that matter. It's like they have two Rooks and you're a King in the middle of the chess board.

[color="#cc8899"]I was actually just followin the basic "spray and pray" strategy. I was doing anything and everything I could just to keep you away from me
It didn't look like it, but the entire match, every match, was me shouting "oh shiit I missed he's gonna get me"
It took me swapping to a very defensive strategy to do much of anything. Even then, my damage didn't come from combos, but from stray bullets and prayers.

I should also note that only a Launcher will be using a hand cannon (and thus flying across the map) in PvP. You're very fast, so you'll be catching most gunners pretty easily. They'll have a bit better short-range game, though, so it balances out. Launchers survive by flinging themselves away from people.[/COLOR]
