In FFXIII you could ATB-Cancel which is a skill to basically allow faster combat and advantages over enemies. I'm not going to explain what ATB-Canceling is so find it out on your own. Now onto my question.

When I've tried transferring this skill onto FFXIII-2 it seems a little lazy and doesn't like to give me a full charge once I swap the paradigms.

Note: I am following the rules of ATB-Canceling

Step 1 - Wait until full gauge and use all
Step 2 - Paradigm Switch for Full Gauge
Step 3 - Wait until full gauge and use all but DO NOT switch paradigms
Step 4 - Wait until full gauge and use all THEN paradigm switch.

What I've noticed in FFXIII-2 is that it works randomly at some points in time, for example one I find that works the most.

Step 1 - Wait for full charge and use then switch paradigms
Step 2 - Wait for Half Charge (2/3 for example) and use then switch paradigms
Step 3 - Repeat untill a full ATB-Charge occurs
Step 4 - Use up all the charge and DO NOT swap paradigms
Step 5 - Repeat

I would really like some help, It's difficult playing NCU (No Crystarium Usage) without properly knowing how to use this.

Note: This is not hacking or glitching the system. It is a legal and legit way to fight in the game and has been proving effective somewhat so far.
