Godhands/Victory Smite Skillchain Weirdness

I was killing Colibri and I noticed some weirdness with Godhands and Victory Smite. Specifically, the skillchain window after doing a 2 step light skillchain was either abnormally short or non-existent and I would almost never hit my 2nd SC.

For example:
Shijin Spiral (SS) -> Victory Smite (VS) -> Light -> VS -> Miss
VS -> SS -> Light -> VS -> Miss

SS -> Dragon Kick (DK) -> Light -> VS -> Light
DK -> SS -> Light -> VS -> Light
DK -> Ascetic's Fury -> Light -> VS -> Light

Using Spharai did not product this behavior. SS/VS/VS and VS/SS/VS worked as expected. But with Godhands it was basically impossible to 3 step double light if the first step was any combination of SS/VS or VS/SS.

This *isn't* about Radiance (only had AM1 up) and doing some *light* testing with AM off and doing VS/SS/VS seemed to cause the same behavior.

I even had a friend come on COR for SAM roll to see if getting TP quicker would help and I would still miss the 2nd light.

So, is there some known SS/VS interaction with godhands that prevents that double light from occurring or am I just crazier than usual?

Edit: ok, someone explained it to me. SS has Light property with godhands equipped which meant I was making level 4 light. My little skillchain tracker wasn’t properly accounting for this so I was under the impression that it was only level 3 and could be continued.

This is my first aeonic, can you tell? :)
