What I mean is that, I've on rare instances done something like back 1,4, ex lift when someone is close to breaking then fan tosses to close out the round. It's something I do if I know I'm going to open them up, but don't wanna use ex fan after the string because I know it will be broken if I do the follow up down 1 cancel immediately.
I'm 100% not saying it's some great move cause it's definitely not, but merely that it has situational applications sometimes.
When I think of pretty useless I think of her standing 4, the applications don't really occur to me lol.
I'm not really trying to defend ex lift, honestly if we're being clear. What I was mostly concerned with was being factually accurate about its comboability. It might be one of her least useful moves BUT that's not the main point I wanted to argue as it's not important to me enough to defend.
I agree with your more nuanced response for the most part, thanks for providing greater clarity
