You can do this same combo if CD trades, just dash up a little before 214C. Doesn't work in the corner unless you skip the 214A whiff.

This combo won't work if you're cornered and too close to the opponent when you hit CD, and sometimes you'll hit CD at tip range near the corner where 623AC won't combo after your 214A. Sometimes you can pick up with 623AC but won't be able to get 623C after, go for 214C after 623AC in these situations instead. You can also do this combo in the corner if your CD trades, although you might have to dash up a little bit before 623AC. You can hit confirm CD when you're near the corner and skip the 214A buffer on hit or combo into 214A instead to avoid whiffing 623AC and giving up your combo.
