Wait, what? Remember that the red life decreases, too. You will get less life by doing this, so Circuit Spark is the better choice.
Most of the time players did oki combos which did 2k-ish dmg. So they'd end up more life if they used BH activation.
And in CC combos are do less dmg. Lots of chars can't ever reach 4k. (Combo dmg is around 3-3,5k, except counter hit combos)
If you're going to assume you land an AAD/LA for 4-5k my counter argument is I'm going to assume you'll land 3 EX moves for 6-7k by not using heat.
Landing one Last Arc/AAD is much much way easyer than landing 3 EX.
Comboing into BHAD is not worth it because most BNBs do similar damage meter-less
I can do 8k AAD combo with F-Ciel on vakiha which is 7k-ish on all other chars.
When can you do a 8k meterless combo? Tell me.
Last arcs are as much of a risk for you as your opponent. A dumb guessing game few people want to play, and some times the last arc wont be worth it even if you do land it.
Why dump guessing game? Sure is a guessing game but equals oki guessing game.
Landing 4-5k dmg is not worth it?...okay next time I won't do combos coz it's not worth it to deal dmg to my opponent.
So pros and contras so far:Pros:- gameplay change in opponent's game (he become cautious/defensive)
- almost 100% success setups for certain charaters
- Last Arc
- instant life regain (vs Circuit Spark)
- Guard Meter reset
- average reversal move to get out of pressure
- Circuit Break after successful Last Arc
Cons (vs IH/Spark):- IH makes you EX-S+ tier for one moment
- you might run out of meter during the time you took a combo and no time left to activate it
- your wakeup activate will get baited
- Spark's advantageous position is probably better
- Sometimes AAD are WORSE than their normal AD versions
