Once they see that hop pattern and they have meter, I'll simply backdash away after the second hop to bait out their wake up. The worst that happens is they come up blocking and I'm still at a range where I can choose to go for ambiguous cross-up, hop gimmicks, or simply back off and reset the round if I have a solid life lead. Of course, if you're playing against Adon then this is all worthless advice, but really... how often are you fighting Adon?
