It's usually preferred to input b/f+A as just b+A to avoid overlap with b~f+A
Mashing punch during hcf+P will increase damage and should always be done

Vanessa can cancel her far stand C into b/f+A for more forgiving ranges.
Extreme damage and stun for half a bar. Builds more meter than you spend. Vanessa's 214A stance can be cancelled into her [4]6A/C without the need to charge, allowing for ludicrous damage in the corner. Ends in HKD and can be even be cancelled into supers.
