Ramjet and Primal's special 2's do not connect.

Alright, i have seen that whenever i use either primal or ramjet, and use a special 2 after a combo, it does not connect. How does it miss after using a combo? That does not make sense . Has this been a bug for a while? I did not notice it until today. Which i am a bit annoyed of losing my streak in arena when my ramjets special 2 didn't connect.

I myself have never experienced it.... until today. I tried using Primal's SP2 against Thundercracker and it didn't connect. It didn't cost me the fight but I was annoyed that now this was happening to me too.
Thanks for dropping by with this. I'm sorry to hear it's happening!
Is there anyway y'all can get us video of this?
The specials for both bots sometimes connects well, i have seen it connect a few hours earlier. But it misses a lot more
I was getting frustrated with this until someone here (I think in Kaon) provided the solution. If you end your combo with a medium hit, your sp2 will probably miss. If you end your combo with a light hit and then fire sp2, your special will connect.
Is there a way I can send a video to you directly? The video is too large in size to post here.
As stated, if you hit med on last hit the opponent has a small opening to retaliate. Higher level, when you shoot into a combo, opponent will launch into an sp.
Not true. I just recorded my ramjet missing a sp2 after ending a combo with a light and a combo with a medium. Both failed.
Gotcha
The reason for this appears to be the spacing. With both Ramjet and Primal, they kind of back up a bit, and then charge forward. When you pause a moment after the combo, they don't back up so much, and the SP connects right away. When you hit the SP immediately after the combo though, they back up further, and the extra time while they move forward lets the opponent recover.
At least all that is what I've observed with Ramjet. I haven't used Primal as much, but his SP2 connecting or not has felt the same as Ramjet's.
You guys can try it out, it's very easy to replicate.
If you use either bots special 2 immediately after a combo and the opponent is not backed up against the map wall, the special will not connect.
Thanks Zet
Not sure if this had ever been looked into but here's one with Ramjet. I've been testing him out more often in Spotlight this month and thus far three times I've missed with his SP2 in Master.

Same thing happens to primal sometimes. Once, during a lengthy battle, i used ramjet and i MISSED SPECIAL 2 3 TIMES in a row! I was not happy and i lost the battle
It works better but is not entirely reliable.
Doesn't work, those were all light hits in the GIF above. Maybe that works for Primal. I use almost exclusively light hits.
Ah yeah it must only work for primal, then. Thanks for clarifying.
No worries. I mean it's not like it's 100%. I don't always miss with Ramjet's SP2 after a light combo and I don't always hit with Primal's SP2 after a light combo. This is just the first month I have really used Ramjet against more challenging content and three misses is far too much.
But it should be guaranteed after a combo you won't miss a special
But why would the specials have a chance to miss after a combo? It's dumb and it should not miss.
Bad coding
More reason to fix it
