360+P on a gamepad?

For some reason I just seem to have a hard time doing a 360+P on a gamepad (using street fighter anniversary pad), and it’s a limiter to my hugo game.

If anyone has any tips I’d appreciate them. Thanks.

Buy a stick. 360 is the only command I find extremely difficult to do on a pad.

it’s actually really easy since you only have to do a 270.

Yeah, just start with either foward or back and do a 270 finishing at up and hit P or K.

Start from forward, end with up. Once you get the timing down you can do it most of the time.

Oh yeah, you might have to over compensate. If it’s not working, try hitting P or K when you think you’ve hit up+forward or up+backwards. That’ll help if you press the button too early.

If you want to play Hugo well, you have to buy a stick. Some of the characters in this game can be played decently without one (although not as well as with a stick), but Hugo is not among them; I’ve never met anyone who can reliably do a dash-in 720 on a pad, and I’m sure I never will.

Is Gigas that much better than his other supers? Also, while you’re talking about dash-in 720, how about a standing 720 on a pad? Sounds like fun to me.

All three of Hugo’s supers are good, pick the one that goes best with your style. SAI makes your opponent fear you, SAII makes the game entirely ground based, and SAIII gives Hugo more options for damage. Gigas is a very strong super, looks awesome, but extremely hard to ‘hit’ someone with. Kinda gives the player ‘bragging rights’ for hitting it.

For 720 on a pad, you can’t really pull off a standing 720 on it, but you can do dash-720s, walk forward 720s, etc. The best method to pull these off is to start in an up position (while doing something to mask the jump), then roll 270 to the forward position (which will let you walk forward for a split second if needed), then roll another 270 from forward back to the up position and hit punch. Gigas.

Buy a stick please. 360’s on a pad are the most retarded thing in the world. I never play 360 characters on pad, I feel dirty doing so.

Then again, qcfx2 is too easy on pad anyway. Sticks FTW.

i’m decent with my sfac pad, i can do 360’s and all 720’s except for standing ones 90% of the time. but on my xbox controller… that’s a different story, not to mention the gay button layout

Has anyone tried ticking the Gigas from a s.lp on a pad?

Yeah, you start the tick by holding up, swing around 270 to forward, swing 270 back to up and hit punch.

^ or you could just do 720 after s.lp?

Why would you partition Gigas if you don’t need the walking-gigas? I guess it would help stop you from jumping?

But, of course, whatever floats your boat. If it works for you, go for it. Personal preference ftw! :smiley:

I just find it the easiest way to 720 on a pad, no specific reason.

Seeing as im stuck using a pad at the moment, I tend to not use the d-pad at all in favour for the analog stick. For me it’s easier in general to use.

d-pads suck!

Uh, it’s not THAT hard to do standing Moonsaults on the dpad. I can always do a full 360 motion on them and it’ll still come out.

720s are another issue…

just follow this motion and its a piece of cake!

:u::ub::hcf: + :p: (starting with forward)

go to practise this, you’ll get it down in no time.
