Firstly, any character can techroll out of that first combo after the second +.

Secondly, only works in open stance, and any character can tech roll after that as well, only the timing is a little harder.

Thirdly, you can't manually change your stance in time once the combo has started. You just need to recognise which stance you're in when you started the combo, and then followup accordingly.

+ combos

Closed stance: ~ +
Open stance: ~ ~ *

* = if they don't techroll.

Finally, every character has attacks that change stance, but the skill with stance-specific combos is in recognising what stance you're in when the combo starts because your opponent's stance will be changing too. That is, you may go to the effort of changing your stance so that you're both in closed stance, but one second later your opponent changes his stance too so that now you're open again.

FYI, Lei can simply G cancel the IN stance to change stance, i.e. do ++~.
