Reiki, I'm aware and I tried that. However, after 3+ years of over extending at least on P1 side of my DP's, it becomes annoying. I can do it P2 side easier for mechanical reasons (however this also tends to screw me in EX Kyo HD combos).
Plus there's no guarantee that in the heart of battle, I won't screw it up and burn unnecessary meter by mistake.
Besides, it's not so much my inability to do it that's the problem, it's the fact that I had the DC DOWN not too long ago and now I suck at it.
