Identification of primary escape

Description

Hey, I'm having trouble identifying my primary escape motion. Ascending I feel USX is most natural, and I think it works fine. However descending USX feels very weird, because starting on a downstroke descending feels weird to me. What my question really is, is if you can identify my primary escape :)

The picking motion in the video is how I play 2nps best. Ascending is by far what feels smoothest, while descending feels a little more akward.
