As the title states, does Tachi: Fudo no longer skillchain Light with Tachi: Kasha. Opening with kasha, that is. Earlier in my experiences with fudo, a friend of mine and i had always been able to generate Light with that skillchain. but while hunting VNMs, i realized that it wasnt skillchaining, not even a T1 or T2. Is it a glitch? am i just dumb? or did fudo get nerfed? thanks for the input.

Believe it or not there are things fudo won't make a skillchain with. Unless you did multiple varieties of ws's with it then it could be very possible you just found one combo that won't produce a skillchain.
If it was expected to produce a skillchain, make sure you aren't swapping gear too soon as that will cut off the animation and you won't see any damage or the animation except for the beginning of it depending on how fast you gear swapped. For that issue i'd suggest getting bmn.
Other than that it could just be an issue in timing, skillchains are hard yo.
But I highly doubt that fudo now produces no skillchains.

Edit: Also on ws's that will deal the finishing blow to the enemy without a skillchain, the skillchain will not occur, in case that might've been a situation.

as i had said, we had tried it without gear swaps as well, AND before the earthquake, we had done a light countless times ;x, just a straight kasha > fudo, with no extra weapon skills in between

Just looking at the skillchain properties, there should be no way to do kasha -> fudo to get light. Did you often have another melee setting up light for kasha maybe? Frag WS -> kasha -> fudo would give light but straight kasha -> fudo shouldn't work at all.

was definitely not any other melee combination, i will provide an example ^^. Killing Tenzen, i opened kasha, and they closed fudo and gave us light, they then followed with fudo again for a double light. was 1.5k > 2k > 2k (sc) > 2.2k > 3k (sc) we killed tenzen in 3 hits total. i dont know, it may have been something funky, but it definitely was light-ing

guess it may have been messed up before. cuz unless ive been hallucinating, or taking some messed up drugs that make that sort of thing possible, it was definitely doing light before. thanks for the input everone
