Question - Dualist F213 vs F21U4

I've seen lots of praise for F213, but I never see anyone talk about F21U4. You can cancel into the same things, yet deal more damage. How come F21U4 isn't the go-to like F213 seems to be?

I don't know much about this character yet but F21U4 probably has less kancel advantage...

He has less cancel advantage because whatever you cancel into does not come out until he lands from the U4. It's still a good mixup tool to throw in every now and then though, and looks stylish.

So I've been playing around with F21U4 and it's actually a pretty good mixup tool, at least for the Dualist variation. I've caught people with bicycle kick after it, enhanced solar flare and orbs. Still need to work on incorporating it a little more effectively on where it fits in his toolset but overall it's a swaggy looking move to catch people off guard with every once in a while. F21U4 into stance change seems to be safe on block or at least hard to punish because of combination of pushback and block stun.
