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" >_> )
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.
Can't say I've noticed any superarmor there, nor did the Warc's jc land
