I'm probably not the first one to notice this, but whatever:
As Valentine, if you're right next to most taller characters (I know it worked on Parasoul), you do a neutral jump, and immediately input a j.LP, you can cancel into j.HP on hit/block. This is what the full instant overhead combo starters would look like I guess:

j.LP>j.HP>m savage bypass>lockdown assist>whatever the heck you want
j.LP>j.HP>m savage bypass>Airdash>j.HP>lockdown assist? (my execution isn't great so I'm not sure if you can combo after the second j.HP or not)

CORNER ONLY:
j.LP>j.HP>m savage bypass>OTG c.MK>c.HP>air combo of your choice

Keep in mind that you won't be able to do another OTG.
Sorry for no video; I can't record video on my computer.

P.S: I just realized this was pretty much useless except if the opponent stands and hits buttons, but w/e, I already typed this, so why not post it.
 
For instant overheads vs tall characters I use j.LP, j.HP, j.HK. It is safe on block, doesn't use your OTG and deals a nice bit of damage. Worth remembering though that the only character these instant overheads will work on while they are crouching is Big Band. Vs other characters you need to use them as part of fuzzy setups.

i like using jmk after jlp when i'm against ppl that pushblock early, jlp jhp jhk is kinda easy to get out if you block the first hit
edit: on band
