I've come to like Plat, lol. But I'm no better with her than I might be with Hazama. I should ask Miria stuff

What Tools do you need assistance with ?

I main platinum, and can give you a bunch of tips if you need them.
EDIT:
Quick run down of the use of her different items. Sorry if I'm not using the proper names, never cared enough to look them up.

Cat hammer: Usually used for zoning, I really dont care for this item outside the haku and tager matchup. A useful combo for getting rid of your current item mid combo is (5a) 5b 5c 236b 5c 214d 6c 22c (5a) 5c 6a 236b. It wont work for the bombs and cat missiles though.

Cat Missiles: Another useful zoning tool, can be easily combo'd off of on CH. Not much too it really. I makes for good oki if you do something like 5a 5b 5c 3c cat missiles. Its goes through spark bolt too, so don't be afraid to mash it if you see tager attempting to use it.

Bombs: Yet again another zoning/pressure tool. A common gimmick after knockdown or a 236b in the corner is to use all three of them (214d) on your opponent wakeup forcing them to block, then merely run up for an easy green grab. Its a common gimmick in JP plats. Just try not to overuse it.

Frying pan: J.d is one of her strongest air normals in the game, the move has some of the highest priority in the game making it extremely good for random trades, especially on CH. Can also be used to start combos/mid combo. You can also do a insta overhead with it by doing something like 5a J.d.

Hammer: Gives her insane damage in combos, and is really good for breaking guard primers as well. Its a pretty easy concept.

I really dislike the cat hammer whenever I use it my oppenent always manages to block and punish me D: Also I just fail at using the hammer in combos, well I fail at combo-ing in general sooo that could be it.

I would love to spar but most of the time I don't have very much time on my hands lately and havn't had much time to go online to play. As soon as I do I will defintely take you up on your offer.

Also, random question, but who do you guys think would make the best candidate for my Charlie's angel's team? My name is charles IRL sooo I thought it was a funny team name for the characters I play as

Well you want to use the cat hammer from either the maximum distance possible, or to punish whiffed moves (Its a lot like Order Sol's Fanfir from GGXXAC)
And yeah I know that feeling, schools been crazy for me this year.

Okay thanks! Any tips on fitting the normal hammer better into a combo?

Just get the timing down on the hammer loop in the corner and you can do some major damage.
