It took a long time for me personally, but I now do it with nearly every character on reaction except for HA attacks: If they initiate any heavy attack, just throw out a light. Depending on your character, in most cases the light will interrupt and throw any sort of feint and mind game out the window as the feint won't cancel fast enough to either block or at the very least, assuming you threw the light in a different direction, unable to parry making it a safe interrupt if nothing else. The same holds true for HL. Every attack except light in OS is slower than most lights. If he starts a kick, grab or heavy just throw a light. Not only will you get that damage but it will stop his main means of momentum.
