We all know the huge variety of ways at Lex's disposal of ending combos. I've been experimenting with combos that leave the opponent in range to defend against cross-up jumping attacks and I've found that ending with 2, 2, d+1 gives you that situation.
Basically, a typical combo is b+1, 3--MB gravity pull--b+3--j+3--2, 2, d+1.
Now the d+1 in the string actually whiffs but you can still block against wake-ups (haven't tested them all) so the recovery is not too bad.
You are now in perfect range to go for the fake cross-up j+1 (i.e. hit from normal side) or do a cross-up j+2. Even if any of these jump attacks are blocked, you still have frame advantage to throw, go for 50/50 mix-ups or general pressure or what have you. It's super ambiguous as well because the j+1 looks like it'll cross-up and the j+2 sometimes looks like it won't.
Make sure to time the combo so that the d+1 doesn't hit because if you do it too early you get the whole 2, 2, d+1 to hit which isn't ideal.
If you guys mess around with it in the lab and let me know your thoughts that would be great. I'll tag whoever I can remember off the top of my head.
