Abel console challenges

do forward+medium kick and then just one more forward when the kick hits to cancel

His links are strict timing people. It takes time and good Rhythm to be able to hit them consistently.

For new stick users: keep playing. And then playing some more on it. Play so much on your stick that every move becomes an after thought. Also: you dont need to be forcefull on it. Gracefully roll the stick to do moves.

The 5th combo on hard trial… MAN that is ridiculous. I think I’m going to check the frames and see if I have to be Jesus to pull it off.

I know, rite? What really pisses me off is getting through the first mk dash fp-mp rekka-ex cancel only to miss the very last fp. Shit is driving me crazy. kjaskdjbasdb

This doesn’t help me at all…

I’ve done all the combos but the last one. That thing is so fucking tough.

bust is right. it really is all bout practice. i got all abels combo and bnb down. i couldnt get that fadc into cr hp down but now i get it al the time and yes its fukin easy when u have that baby down.and yes it feels fukin good when ur enemy fuks up once and u rekka fadc xx cr hp ultra lol

Oh…errr sorry I was really sleepy.

I meant cancel the c. HP into the wheel kick on the 2nd hit of the c. HP rather than the first or waiting for the c.HP to finish.

I’m having some trouble with hard trial 3:

cr. MP, jab rekka, FADC, cr. HP, souless

I can’t get the cr. HP to connect. I assume I’m not supposed to wait for the level 2 FA, since that won’t connect after the rekka. Suggestions?

dash cancel the FA, you dont want the actual Focus Attack.

Everyone take note here. A lot of good players can easily down other people and not even give the time of day to see others improve. Big ups to Busta for not only helping everyone out but also being patient and encouraging. :tup:

Yeah, thanks a lot to everyone giving out tips, especially Busta!
I’d never be able to learn these combos without some advice.

I’m having the same trouble, its an EX saving cancel -> dash, and I can’t hit that ducking h.p either. In fact, I can’t seem to combo it into anything. It gives the same stun amt as a lv1 SA, and as far as I can tell, that isn’t comboable >.>

Edit: Oh, you just want the dash, not a hit.

Also having troubles with the forward MK xx dash -> HP xx rekka.

I got the HP to combo a few times but because I had failed so often I’m always surprised that it hit and end up missing the rekka input lol.

Really enjoying play as Abel though.

masaka FADC = Focus Attack Dash Cancel so the combo is cr.mp rekka, focus attack dash cancel (so you dont actually do the focus attack) then do cr.fp into ultra.

Im having a hard time with this one as well. I can get the FADC but I cannot connect the cr FP. Is there a specific part of the first rekka ie. early/late to activate the FA and how fast must you dash after activating the FA to allow more time to connect the cr FP?

no it doesnt matter really, its just a timing issue. all you gotta do is practice and sooner or later you will learn it and notice how easy it will become.

I’m having trouble with the forward medium kick to heavy punch heavy rekka etc. ikts tough to do on the Ps3 controller for some reason. Even if it is better than the xbox version. I’m still think to get an actual arcade stick.

After 45 minutes, I finally did Hard Trial Level 5

I see a lot of you guys are having just as much trouble with it as I did, I have a suggestion. Don’t look up at the list of commands for the combo. Break the combo into 2 parts, and practice those separately.

What I did was practice f+mk, dash, hp for about 4 minutes straight. This is Combo A

Once you have that down, the only other part of the combo is just canceling the hp into the mp rekka, and focus canceling it into the first combo. This is combo B.

You are doing Combo A, Combo B, then Combo A again. It’s truly a matter of muscle memory.

The hardest part for me was throwing the second f+mk after the focus cancel; I kept dashing out of the focus and then dashing again. Stick with it, and you get a nice title :slight_smile:

On a side note, aside from the above combo making me want to kill myself, Abel is a lot of fun. I’m starting to get more comfortable with focus canceling, and that makes a world of difference with his throw game. When my string is being blocked, I cancel the c.mp at the end into rekka, then focus cancel that, presto! Works wonders for players who are looking for the pause in your string when you usually command throw.
