Managed to do it at last but now number 4 is kickin my ass! I just can’t seem to get the roll out reliably enough! And then when i do my frantic left hand ends up pulling out the super rather than falling sky!
Holy crap … Hard trial #5 is an absolute beast.
I did all the hard trials 1-4 in about 2 hours but I have been stuck on this one for 2 days. Any advice people??
32 Hours later and i still haven’t finished the trial for the fifth challenge on Hard mode, i am comfortable with the timing now, but when the time comes for me to input the EX Focus Cancel into Forward Kick, idk whether to dash backward, forward, or just use the Focus Attack, that’s the only issue that i am having with it now
I realized you pretty much have to press HP at the exact moment he exits out of his dash. A frame too late and it doesn’t link which suuuucks. It’s hard getting the timing down, but instead of mashing HP while dashing, it’s better if you try and get it via precision, so you can get a better feel for it.
Heres a link showing all of abels moves in both normal/hard trial mode. (in jap)

I’m having the same problem. At the end of the combo, instead of doing his ultra, Abel does his super (although I’m using the input for his ultra). Anyone got any idea what I’m doing wrong?
I got to abel’s final challenge, looked at what I had to do, laughed, and went to go do Rose’s trials.
it’s not a cancel, you have to catch dan on the way down with the ultra. let both hits of the c.hp hit and time the ultra properly. i had the same problem for a long time.
So I’m having problems with hard trial 4.
I’ve practiced just a c.fr - roll - FS and I’m fine, but into the chain I can’t connect the c.fr into a roll >.<
Is the timing different or am I just not doing it right in the chain?
Yes WTF Hard trial 5 is fucking OD for no dam reason.
Fuck Trial 5. I can do st.fp to rekka all day long but not in that chain.
Heres how I did Hard #5. For the f.mk -> st. fp timing, I try to to hit the fp button as Abel’s head bobs back when he dashes forward. A little afterward too. Or you can watch dan’s body, if he jerks back and into a standing position, its probably too late. The last thing I did too was to not stop even after I messed up in the middle of the entire combo, because you don’t want to stop when you actually succeed with the first few hits. Oh yea, and practice parts of the combo separately just to make sure you know how to doit too. Hope it helps guys.
The Mk - dash - HP was never my problem.
My problem was for whatever reason, after the HP I couldn’t rekka.
If I did the HP without the MK - Dash I could rekka all day off FP.
Anyway I worked my way backwards through the combo and finally did it last night.
Started with the rekka xx FADC xx MK - dash HP
Once that was auto, I did standing HP then the above, then finally just added the Mk to dash then all of it.
My pinky knuckle on my left hand thanks God it is finally over. It couldn’t take any more friction from dashing.
Man I can’t stop doin focus to tornado throw. Even when I meant to focus attack into h punch I end up doing the tornado throw.
Can someone post a picture of the icon you get for complete Abel’s Hard Challenge. I’ve been stuck on hard challenge 5 for a over a week now. I think I’m going to give up soon. I just can’t do it =(
I am having trouble on challenge 2 in hard. f+mk (press forward once after the kick and you will dash) is no problem, but my hp to CoD is tricky. I use a PS3 analog and when i go in for the hp, i sometimes end up doing a cr.hp. would it be easier if i used a stick or a pad?
Timing is hard for me when you hp>CoD. I know you have to cancel after the first hit, so i usually wait until i see the hit connect. should i wait a frame or 2 after or before?
The timing trick on hard 2 for anybody still stumped on it is not in the HP, but the dash. You need to be dashing forward the moment the f+MK connects and not a moment later - it’s pretty easy, by comparison, to get the HP in an acceptable window.
Now if I could do this without accidentally cancelling into super EVERY FUCKING TIME, I’d be on to hard 3.
This video helped out tons for the challenges. Thanks for the post
For anyone looking for max time after the f.mk to dash, you can hold forward then hit forward and hit MK at the same time to get max time. Basically the same time you input the dash input the kick.
You get 4 icons. You get the flag, the cub with Abel and SF4 on the side, you get an abel cubehead (like a lego) and you get the monochrome card icon.
It took me over a week to do number 5 also. It wasn’t until I did it backwards that I was able to do it. Try starting from mp rekka xx FADC xx forward kick, once you have that, add the dash, then, add the FP. Once you can do that reliably the only thing you need to do is cancel a FP into a rekka and you have it done.
Still not able to do Hard Trial 5 yet, however I ended up doing most of the combo, though i was too slow on the last hit!
So here’s a break down:
As previously mentioned, there is 2 combo’s to learn from this (2 for me at least).
First Combo:
Of course is the MK > dash > HP > MP Rekka, the trick I learned from here is a random technique, nothing precise, so here’s how I ended up getting this part done constantly. I continously spammed MK > dash > HP, however, for HP I rapidly tapped it after the dash and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t, but at least for now 50% of the time it works!
Though, the trick is that AS SOON AS you see the HP animation, quickly start your MP Rekka, so that the first hit of the HP connects and then it will link into the MP Rekka.
NOTE: Like Reipin, you would probably want to practice the Rekka > FADC > MK > Dash > HP, however, when I first started I always end up doing the FULL HP ANIMATION, which is too slow for your rekka follow-up.
Second Combo:
This combo is the same as Reipin Pillage’s solution, practice the Rekka > FADC > MK > Dash > HP.
Now here’s the trick, as previous post has mentioned, they ended up doing too many dashes AFTER the FADC.
This may sound real complex, however its all about practice after you get this motion going.
When doing your Rekka > FADC, FADC only needs one tap of the direction as after the motion of Rekka, you end up tapping forward, so after your MP + MK (for FA), just tap forward ONCE.
Now the trick after this to avoid MORE DASHES, is HOLD the direction after the FADC and tap MK, this is so that you have held the forward long enough to do your Forward MK.
BUT (my hand gets lazy after I hold a direction) REMEBER to tap forward again for your dash and again from the first combo, rapidly tap HP.
Well, I hope I hear some good feedbacks and no flame! I’ve yet to do mines, but I’m getting the hang of it and most of the time the MK > Dash > HP motion works. Still trying to finish up with the FADC as I end up forgetting to tap the direction again or I am stupid enough to double tap it making it slow to connect the MK etc.
