5HS > 1HS > sj.SPS > 236HS (Task C) > 2HS > air grab works now. Oddly satistfying.

I managed to get SPS on Ky by delaying the super jump, it's pretty awkward but I think with enough practice it shouldn't be too difficult to pull off,If not the damage increase isn't all that great so PKS will more than suffice. Other than that I got pretty much the same results. Still suck at getting the second hit off the air Task C on lighter characters, though.

Hmm, perhaps I'm using Hellfire in the wrong context. If by critical state you mean the state in which your Instant Kill is golden then yeah thats's what I meant. Sorry for the misunderstanding

It's also worth noting that Bedman's corner dust combo from challenge mode (No. 30) has been altered, so it's worth checking out again (if you had completed it before the patch it will still be marked as complete). The new combo reads: 5D > 6 > 6HS > 236K (Task A') > c.S > 5HS > 1HS > 236HS (Task C) It's almost identical to the original but adds the homing dash to make up for the fact that 5D >6HS > Task A' doesn't combo anymore. I still think we might be able to squeeze some more damage out of our new homing dash, but I've not found anything so far.

Instant Kill combo off counter-hit: CH 1HS/2HS/3HS > RC > IK activate > 236236HS (Theatre Of Pain) A bit situational but still pretty viable in my opinion, especially if your opponent tries to chip you out from a distance when he's near to losing the game. You also have a bit of leeway after the RC to confirm into something else if you didn't get the counter-hit. Also works from an already active Instant Kill state if you swap the RC for an empty Deja Vu (providing the 2HS is close enough to knock them into Theatre Of Pain range, of course). EDIT: You can hit Theatre Of Pain off a normal 1HS, the timing's tight but very much manageable. xx > 5HS > 1HS > RC > IK activate > 236236HS (Theatre Of Pain)
