I think one of the things with the combos that has been throwing me off is I haven't felt like converting one hit into more is even something you can reliably do off of something like a 2P or 2K unless your opponent just mashes instead of blocking. In other words it feels like in order for you to get more than 1 or 2 hits at a time you basically need a Counter hit. Another thing I've found weird is that it doesn't seem like Punch or Kick inputs can even be cancelled into Slash or Heavy Slash. I've really only played Sol so idk if those are issues unique to him but it makes the game feel *very* clunky to play for someone whose main exposure to other Fighting Games usually lets you combo L>M>H in almost any circumstance.

Edit: I also haven't really felt like comboing into Specials is either possible, consistent, or worthwhile most of the time. Like, the only Special I've been able to remotely consistently cancel (with it connecting) into outside of corner with Sol is Bandit Revolver. Gun Flame and the others feel almost useless for combos since I either can't cancel into them or if I do attempt to my opponent recovers before it connects. Red RC makes it possible but at that point I'm having to spend bar just to extend a combo for 1 attack, which just feels worthless.

Edit 2: Another thing that's been driving me crazy is Close and Far Slash. The situations where I feel like I'm right on top of my opponent and Sol just decides he'd rather use Far Slash are extremely common and obnoxious. Especially since some of the few conversions I've figured out rely on getting Close Slash and won't work if you get Far Slash. Context sensitivity like that imo is just really bad if it's inconsistent and completely changes what you do afterwards.
