played around with team training mode to see which char works good with raiden. tried some combos and realized something strange:
when using cyber sub, hit the dummy with 2, 1 and cancel into raiden's assist - in most cases, you get a 4 hit combo and a free jumpin to continue with guaranteed damage. but in 1 out of 5 cases, the dummy eats 2, 1 but blocks the assist.
the same behaviour can be replicated with other chars (just test out which string allows the assist cancel to hit).
in order to guard against misunderstandings, i'm 100% sure i have spacing and timing down and i'm able to properly cancel normals into specials.
i just can't explain why the assist is blocked every once in a while.
