After playing a few matches with Carmine against Yang I found that the low attack portion of Carmine's 236BC is ignored if Yang armors any portion of the projectiles with 5B or 214A.
Yang should be getting blown up by the super because it hits low right?
Edit: wrong direction.

Some things I’ve noticed playing against Yang:
Not all characters can go into a low while she’s armoring through your other attacks.
Yang has a hitbox behind her on her j.A, 2A, 214A and 214A-C. You can’t punish her from behind on whiff on some of them (or maybe it’s char specific who can. Probably Gord)
There’s a couple other things I noticed but I won’t list them because they might just be netplay.
Are you sure it is not just the difference between guard type and attack attributes? Carmine's 214BC is a low hitting projectile. Yang's super armor has body and projectile invuln. Therefore it ignores it because it has super armor against projectiles. It does not lose to lows, it loses to foot attribute attacks. There are attacks that have a foot attribute but are not a low.
Example are Akihiko's 2A and Gord's 2A. Both will beat yang super armor but are not lows.
You mean 214A. I haven't tested this but that does sound interesting. It might just be because you're already armoring something else, so the game won't make her take a hit from a low. Im just guessing (and I cant check it right now). Try going into Training mode. Have Yang armour through an assist (probably Linne's 5P or Orie's 4P since they hit multiple times), then try to hit her with a low while she's "armouring" through the move. If that ends up working, and it hits her out of it, then you can ignore me.
Yang can armor through Orie 5P and still gets beat out by Carmine’s 2C
Interesting note as well it seems projectile armor ignores head/foot typing as yang can armor through Carmine’s 214A/B/C even though it has a low attack component this may be why it’s being armored because for some reason the platform Carmine summons is a projectile???
That actually is interesting. I know Yang would beat out any projectile, even if it was fired while airborne, but I didnt know it would beat out low projectiles too. If you wanted to see if Carmine's super was a projectile, the only thing I can think of is trying to hit it with One of Hakumen's moves,but that could be tricky/impossible without hitting something else.
Azrael’s growler 214A eats the whole super and shoots it back so probably is a projectile
Neat! Thank you for your research
