How do YOU deal with AI that holds Specials?

Lately the AI in this game has been giving me a run for my money. I often find myself dancing around for minutes trying to get the AI to use it's special attack but it just doesn't want to yield. More often than not, I get backed into a corner and am forced to hold down block which isn't good cause you still take a large amount of damage while blocking at high level content. The second I let go of block and try to sidestep, I'm hit with a special attack that i can't avoid because when sidestepping you become vulnerable.
So how do YOU handle being backed into a corner. How do you deal with the AI holding their special attacks? Any advice is welcome and keep it civil guys.

This doesn't work very well. When backstepping, a combo against a wall, the AI will back off on the 3rd or 4th hit then rush back in and get me. That pausing the game thing doesn't appear to be working either
When enemy blocks your combo, finish the first 4 hits (except for shock block/Tantrum/Dinobot) to push them back to their half of the arena.
Well first of all, I try to avoid the corner. You can do this just by staying close to that midline you start on. Another thing you can do is backstep against the wall, it works quite well against bots with melee heavies. Lastly, you can activate specials just for the sake of pushing the enemy back to their side, for example when I’m fighting primal with g1 Megatron I’ll often use his special 1 even with 3 stacks of armor breaks just to push the ape back a little.

That depends a lot on the situations, if they are near death I’ll often bum rush them and hope they die. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t.
Other times all you can do is wait’n’bait. Most of the time the bot will use it though.
Extra advice?
Stay away from the corner
Stay near the midline
Keep the AI on their side

Keep attacking and filling them to sp3, and hope I kill them before they kill me
