I've seen that Ms. Fortune linking c.lk > s.mk on blockstring is actually punishable right in between. You can super out of it, and at least fortune's c.lp beats it too. Is this intended?

Linking to s.mk from any other button does not display this behavior.

*edit, looks like maybe it is intended, mike did show c.lk > c.mk links.

idk if it's "intented" but it's definitely known, fortune c.lk s.mk used to be a blockstring but c.lk got nerfed to be neutral on block instead of plus so c.lk s.mk being no longer a blockstring is a side effect of that

Abuse the fact that this move now has the lowest blockstun of anything in the game and is pretty much impossible to pushblock

Yeah this buff was insane.
When you poke with CLK you are very likely to miss the pushblock timing if you guess when they will hit you, so you'll backdash and get opened up.

If you wait for a different normal and don't pushblock, she has space to do IAD's at any time.

If someone actually supers you in between cLk cMK then you need to adjust your pressure to bait those reversals.

It wasn't intended but it happened it's also oddly incredibly useful for a nerf. Mike only mentions chaining to 2MK because that's the best you can do in a safe blocksting.

It's an amazing framtrap now.
