The Silent Force, yes, it normally comes out as a j.S for me. I'll try that. And I have to actually pick up the projectile again? How curious; I had no idea! That may help.
For the easier combo, I can't seem to get the very basic cancel down.
Instead of the standing Heavy being cancelled into Emerald Rain overdrive, it goes into her 236S spin move, Tandem Top(?), then Emerald Rain, and when I go into 214SSS-- it only gets me about 15 or so. I'm probably inputting Emerald Rain too early so it only registers one 236 but I wanted to be sure on something:
When you say "cancelled into" does that mean anything specific? Do I just input ER right after the two Heavy Slashes? I think I'm mostly getting caught up in that~.
I -really- appreciate this!
