It's okay, I found out the next day it doesn't work offline. That was just the server trying to make it up to me for BEING FUCKING EVIL. I guess between the end of the combo recovery and the lag delay, there was enough time for the GF to take without them being able to jump out, but if you try it regularly, unless you manage to shoot it at the EXACT moment the combo ends and catch them, they slip and fall just like they would out of a double freeze.
Online: just like Johnny Cage...forever busting my Boxy balls .
