Kohaku's Video Room / FREAKISH Denpa match

A random (not character wise, but teammate wise) 3v3 tournament match.
Pretty uneventful until 10:22 where Denpa comes in.
Short commentary:
10:41 - FUCK
12:33 - SHIT
Long commentary:
10:41 - The Denpa-only infinite combo.
An Akiha-specific Satsuki combo was found quite a months back, it even might be more than a year ago. It actually had practical value and it caught on like Akiha's whiff combo. However, the string was so freaking hard to connect that after a few months, many people gave up on it on basis that the reward vs consequence was too bad to use it in a real match. The reward to connecting that combo is more damage and meter, but failure to do so meant less damage and no okizeme, which is a killer to Satsuki. There are videos of top-class Satsuki players attempting the combo. None of them had more than a 66% success rate of connecting it.
Then here comes Denpa. He adds on another series of attacks that require timing to the string, makes it an infinite, performs in on Ciel, and connects the damn thing 5 times in a row in a tournament match. The timings (plural) on the combo string for each character is different. Denpa just busts it out without any planned arrangement that he would play against Ciel.
12:33 - 2a is Denpa's block.
Denpa's 2a clashes the wake-up EX of Ciel. As great as it would be to think that Denpa actually planned out the clash, that's rather ridiculous as wake-up EXs can be completely random in top-class matches for its almost non-existent use. What's surprising is how Denpa 5c to clash the next hit.
Now here's the kicker, 5c clashing the second hit of Ciel's 22c would have beaten out the 3rd hit of Ciel's 22c, but that's not good enough for Denpa.
5c clashing the opponent's attack is known by most Satsuki players (in fact, I know a US player who uses it all the time against me
) beating whatever that comes next. However, Denpa throws out a 5a, anticipating the commonly used tactic of canceling the second hit of 22c into another EX as the continued motion of the 5c would have made him eat up Ciel's 236c. With the 5a thrown out to whiff cancel, Denpa ex-shields the 236c all 7 times (236c cannot be one-button ex-shielded if canceled into after 22c unlike a normal 236c). After that, connects into a combo.
