Dragon Sword UT

[MaChao]

Am i missing something or is it normal that the Dragon Sword's UT doesn't properly proc half the time?
Against Rasetsu, it didn't even start. Ryu connected and nothing happened, UT's of the Lunar went off fine.
With normal enemies, the second half of the attack sometimes just doesn't happen.

What am i doing wrong?

it def misses sometimes. I've noticed that too. Seems to be an enemy iframe (invincibility frame) thing. Some enemy moves seem to have iframes. Hit an enemy with during said iframes and it doesn't trigger.

Second half of double charge UT stops if there's nothing to hit, like if an enemy dies in the first half, and there's nothing to hit in the second half it will stop. Even if there's still enemies around but they're just too far away for the second half to connect, it stops. Try to use it when enemies are bunched together or on high health enemies that will survive the first half of the UT.

Ohhh, so it just stops once its target is dead. I honestly can't remember it doing that in Sigma. But anyways, that makes sense.
Thanks for the reply!

Some UT's will continue if you have a second enemy within reach to continue the UT... and you mash Heavy Attack. This is part of what makes the Flails so awesome.

Most UTs stop or cancel if the target dies or if there is no target. The only exceptions are some of the 360 UTs. The lunar’s 360 UT is a good example of this. Having offensive I-frames on demand is a helluva drug.
