Chaining confusion

I'm dueling Vaga. Vaga declares atk on my atk mode monster. I respond w/ my facedown mirror wall. Vaga chains to my mirrow wall with super rush headlong and wins the battle.

In a different duel. I atk an atk mode monster. Other player responds w/ a facedown mirror wall. Game doesnt allow me to chain w/ my super rush headlong and i lose the battle.

All my toggles are on. It appears to be exact same situation. Why couldnt i chain my super rush when Vaga could?

Duels with vaga couldnt be saved and all my saves were wiped during last update so got nothing to show for.

Who's Vaga?

Generally there will be 2 prompts for S/T activation (of course you need to have those S/T to have these prompts active):

- Battle Step: i.e. when declare battle (Econ, SRH, etc)

- Damage Step: i.e. damage calculation (only ST that affects damage calculation, +ATK, -ATK, etc)

You can't activate Super Rush Headlong in the Damage Step. In general, AI opponents will always activate ATK/DEF altering effects in the Damage Step since they're harder to play around. Normally this is true for yourself under Auto timing, too, but if you have both a card that alters ATK/DEF and something like SRH or Enemy Controller that doesn't, it'll list the ATK changer as an option in that prompt also.
