Oh trust me, I saw a ton of my mistakes, plus it was a blue connection :/. During the super counter I was actually trying to mash 2a, but I think he hit me right AT the recovery frame so it connected. Mostly I wanted to test out the theory of the 2a cancelling his distortion, but I guess he lucked out.
I'm still in that rut between "scrubbie" and "decent", so the feedback was appreciated.
