MBAA new game mechanic: Hierarchy system (or not)

Changed title and first post to avoid confusion while simultaneously spreading the truth.

Luckily this topic isn't locked yet as I have one thing to point out.

Observe 9:38. F-Wara's jA traded hits with C-Wara's jB if my eyes are correct. My assumption now is that an A attack WILL trade hits with a stronger attack if it will cause a KO.

They always "trade." Both hits always land regardless of the hierarchy. It's just that when A trades with anything else the opponent gains superarmor from the A attack, and superarmor doesn't matter when you die.

This may seem a newbie inquiry but

There is no hierarchy system, it's just that A attacks cannot trade with B or C attacks, and in the instance where a trade would occur the A attack will flat out lose.

But what about ja CHing jb or jc? Is that a different "mechanic" from ja < jb or jc on TRADE HITS

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZQAo9kYRn4 happens all through out the Shiki vs Warc match where Shiki ja counterhits with Warc jb/jc especially on 2:51 where Warc jc loses to Shiki ja. Did it CH due to Shiki's priority for having the last hit(although blocked)? (and no, please don't say "because it's Shiki" >_> )

Can't say I've noticed any superarmor there, nor did the Warc's jc land

In the vid Tohno is CHing Warc during the startup(before the hitbox comes out) of her jb/jc.  Since her attack wasn't out, she didn't trade hits and get superarmor.

Since I've experienced that in MBAC netplay where Nanaya ja beat my Warc jb(farking delay 5), that explanation makes sense, even if that question is for MBAA.

Thanks for clearing that out


*EDIT*

I finally see the superarmor incident
