When am I supposed to input special moves for 211? (after the overhead)

[scrubjesus111]

I swear this character has the weirdest cancel windows in the game. On HIT it's consistent-ish, but I've tried 50 different timings on block and it's not clear what works. Sometimes I get the special to come out, usually I get nothing. Input window is set to "long". What gives?

I looked into this and I get a consistent cancel by buffering 211 and then enterting the special move where i want the cancel. Note that if you press 1 more than twice (mash) or 2 more than once... the game will lock you out of being able to cancel all together.

You can do it either way before the overhead or after.. it’s pretty easy to time tbh both ways
