Why is this possible?

Am I supposed to be able to do this? Shouldn't IPS kick in on the third heavy punch? If this is working as intended can somebody explain to me how this works, and while I'm here I might as well ask if Squigly's Ashes to Ashes (forward arrow + s.HP) is supposed to count as a regular s.HP and not a special. Didn't want to post this in the bug thread before I make sure I'm not an idiot.

The way IPS works is that it doesn't allow you to start a new chain with a button you already used before (chains in skullgirls are in the order of lp>lk>mp>mk>hp>hk>special). What you're doing in the video is starting a chain each time with a different button and chaining into s.hp xx stance cancel, then linking into the next chain. You can read a more detailed explanation on how it works in this thread.

u can actually link s.hp twice with no button inbetween if you're smart enough which is pretty cool

probably more accurate to say "fast enough" rather than "smart enough" but thats actually a good example to show what caio is talking about, what u did in the vid works fine but if you do like c.lk c.mk s.hp xx c.mk s.hp xx s.hp that 3rd s.hp WILL trigger ips because you STARTED that chain with the s.hp.

If im right you can turn on more advanced options for training mode and it will show you a button layout (??) under the timer, its really great!
