I've always been doing it 2D first then j.A, lol. Of course I would be doing the wrong way.
If they were reacting to it I would just do an empty 2D JC into 2B.
Oh well, got j.2AD down on P1 side, now to do it on P2 side. :P
I think the joystick is going out on my 360 stick, motions like 214A aren't coming out normally.
