problem with adding to 4 button chars

[prnzokoshiro]

I have worked on 2 different 4 button chars (that are not really supposed to be 4 button format), and they've both yielded the same problem:  when I start adding new states, it makes a few other states either stop working, or only work if you combo into the move/s that's affected by this. 

There doesn't seem to be ANY conflict of same states being used, so I have no idea why making new additions on these chars that have two punch strengths, two kick strengths is causing other moves to be inert.  Is there some preset kind of limit that can be imposed on the number of states or something, that's the only thing I can think of, or does Mugen just get buggy with certain things?  I don't see why using the same anim on 2 different states could cause a problem, it doesn't with other chars I've worked on.  Help please?

Could you post , exactly what you did??

Check that you arent repeating statedefs

;Crouching light punch
; CNS difficulty: easy
; Description: Simple crouching attack. The HitDef's guardflag parameter
;     is set to "L", meaning that the move can only be guarded low
;     (crouching), and not by standing or jumping opponents.
;     Like for all light attacks, it's a good idea to keep the slidetime
;     and hittime parameters at a smaller number, so the opponent isn't
;     stunned for too long. For all crouching attacks you have to
;     remember to set the attr parameter to indicate that it is crouching
;     attack. In this case, "C, NA" stands for "crouching, normal attack".
;     The HitDef's priority is set at 3, instead of the default of 4,
;     so this attack has a lower priority than most others, meaning
;     KFM will get hit instead of trading hits with his opponent if
;     their attack collision boxes (Clsn1) intersect each other's Clsn2
;     boxes at the same time.

;Crouching strong punch

;     triggered, one for each frame of animation that hits.
;     Notice how the first hit cannot be guarded by an opponent in the
;     air, because of the "M" in the guardflag, meaning it can only
;     be guarded "middle". The second hit has an "MA" guardflag, so
;     it can be guarded both on the ground and in the air.
