Ash Crimson / Re: Ash Crimson (Console)

How I play Ash: Basic Mega-zoney with tech traps. Every jump or hop is always flash kicked. Flame Kiss on knock down. I WANT an evasive roll so I can punish with a combo. Low projectilers (and Mai) force me to be more aggressive.
To the above, j.D is terrible for air to air vs. his j.C. j.D has no hitbox above a 190 degree angle which is why you're experiencing it not coming out on hops. Start it earlier, I promise you can still combo.
Uses I have for Thermidore:
On knockdown to Force opponent to block or roll.
Catch jump-ins that I see or hops that I know are coming to bounce them into the corner, where all the partying's at.
For no reason just to see what they'll do when I yell "Run! Run!" in the voice of Dormammu(I'll stop this, I promise)
To chip someone out. Thermidore > Fire Kiss > Weak Ventose or even Thermidore> Thermidore does a surprising amount if they aren paying attention and do something besides stand there blocking.
If this sounds dumb, it may be, I will readily admit I am new to the game, but the above definitely work on others. For now, at least.
That being said, what's the best way to get a good Germinal off during a Sans Culotte combo? I can only barely justify doing Sans Culotte in the first place. Best damage I can get is 375 cause I have awful execution. Why would I risk dropping a long combo that is hella spacing dependent when I can just EX Pluivose from anything? Or am I simply just thinking wrong? Teach me, guide me.
