Abel console challenges

To AQM

You’re doing the wrong combo. It’s not a link combo(meaning you dont cancel your cr.HP), its a juggle. After you pop them in the air, you do the ultra. The reason your getting the super is because your canceling into it, and ultras cant cancel, so therefore you get a super.

To Fiveways.

Same deal as AQM, your canceling, and therefore doing a super. You DONT cancel, its a juggle. I’m 100% sure of this because the ultra itself is over 9 hits i think.

You pop them into the air with cr.HP, then you do ultra.

Break it down into parts, and work on each of them til you get them all down. Then you slowly string them together.

i.e. work on the f MK > dash > FP

 work on FP >rekka > FADC

 work on rekka > FADC > F MK > Dash

Its dash forward for this trial.

But in general, the instructions tell you whether you need to land the focus attack, or a cancel. It’s written in the sequence, I’m just assuming you overlooked it.

I believe its EX. Focus Attack and EX. Focus Cancel.

If you could, put out the entire sequence, as not everyone has the time to look up the specific sequence for each person.

But if it’s the one im thinking about, its probably just execution. You can do it fine on its own, but on the link your just having problems putting it together. If you can’t get it after awhile, just add 1 part at a time til you get it down, and keep going.

Since the part you are referring to is just a 2-1 combo, or a cancel combo, you have alot of leeway putting it in. Just do it early since timing isnt strict, i.e. HP~>Rekka~>FADC. you can put it in all together in a row, no waiting required.

Wow, so much continous posts. Could’ve stuck all the quotes into one post itself.

Anyhow, I finally did the final challenge, the bit I started to mess up on was the FADC > Combo1 again. So I took the time to practice the timing of rekka > FADC. The faster the timing of this, the faster you’ll be able to connect Combo1 (mk > dash > HP).

So my previous post in how I did it didn’t much change, apart from slowly breaking it up to get timing correct for certain things.

Still dunno an accurate way of mk > dash > HP tho. However, I’m having a slight feelling it’s the dash that has to be fast enough so the HP can connect.

Holy crap is this hard though… I’ve done it like that as well. I still haven’t pulled it off yet… I’ve come close, i’ve gotten all the way to the second >MK, dash but didn’t get the FP out. Most of the time i don’t get that second mk even out. The combo is very difficult, i’m thinking i need to get better at the > mk >(dash) FP… The timing of this is a major pain in the ass, which makes the combo jacked from start up if you don’t have that down. Ugh. hate this one. :nunchuck:

The second hard trial’s timing is frustrating the hell out of me. Every time i dash forward either the firece puch never comes out or dan blocks it. It connects maybe 20% of the time then the fierce either hits twice or i’m already in the “change of direction” move.

Just try to get that fierce punch out inbetween it bein blocked and not commin out at all.

I know this sounds obvious but just spend 5-10 mins learning the timings of each (blocked and not comming out) u soon get a feel for it and it should help with the combo.

As for the next part I think u cancel the punch on the first hit into the CoD (if am thinkin of the right challenge).

Yeah I guess the timing is what I need to work on.

By the way where did you get those avatar images? Wnt to get 1 with Gen abel and gouken.

OH MY GOD. YES. After about 3 HOURS of trying hard trial 5, I FINALLY got it. The side of my thumb feels numb. Heres what I have to say about it.

Keep practicing the f mk>dash>HP until you get a “feel” for it. Pay attention to dans body when you get it right so that way you have an idea of WHEN to go for the HP(its like just as his body is recoiling back from the f mk).

Then, after you have a feel for that, practice rekka>FADC>to f mk>dash>hp. Then just KEEP TRYING. Never give up no matter how frustrated you get. The trick is to always input the button commands for the FULL COMBO even if you mess up. So that way you condition your muscle memory to doing it every single time so you dont mess up in the early part of it during the HP.

Edit: forgot to mention, im using a ps3 controller and the d-pad. I switched the square button to medium punch to make it easier to transition from medium rekka to FADC.

So i finally completed this beast after trying it off and on for a few days.
The big thing I’ve found is to be careful of your dashes, make sure your not using any more than necessary, and that right after you initiate your Rekka to pop off that ex cancel.
Other than that its just practicing that god forsaken high punch timing. good luck all.

Yeah, this is the best advice you can give/get for anything that requires precise timing. In order to do any of these regularly, you have to build your muscle memory. Build it to the point where you’re not thinking about doing rekka > FADC > cr. HP (or whatever), you’re just doing it naturally.

The best way I’ve found to practice the harder stuff is to do it in 15 minute increments. Just do it over and over for 15 minutes, then take a break and play matches for a half hour, then go back to practicing whatever you’re practicing.

After 15 minutes, my brain is spinning and I get sloppy. That’s the reason for alternating. Might just be me though.

Thanx for the tips regarding challenge 5.

Am gettin a bit tired of it tbh, I don’t know if I just havent gotten the timin’ right, if it’s usin the 360 pad (wich is horrible to dash with) or just simply more practice needed.

Probably a combination is most likely but I’ll try the 15 min method :slight_smile:

I agree with Akzidenz tryin to do this solid for an hour or so won’t help as am probably gettin’ sloppy inputs.

:lovin:

@ TenorFighter Check out this link u shud find the images there or u can find sum here towards the bottom of the page (this is not my myspace tho)

In regards to Hard Trial 5, my problem was that after the FADC, i would constanly dash again instead of the forward kick dash. Practice the timing alot and you will get it. For me though, i stopped looking at the screen and either looked at the controller or closed my eyes all together, this, for some reason, is what really helped me get it.

Good Luck all!

idk if this will help ne of you but, on lvl5 hard - (a kinda of visual cue for throwing in the HP after dash) - he’ll kick up dirt underneath his feet when he comes in. And i can usually get the HP off 75 - 80 % of the time if im working off of that

I can kinda see what u mean, the timin’ is roughly as u see the dust wisp off his heel.

(in the animation the dust goes from quite clearly white, starting under his feet and billows out behind him and fading. The que is roughly as the dust fades from white at the very back of his heel)

It’s hard to explain but if u see u may understand what I mean and it does help a little.

Thanx for the hint Brolly

ohh np problem man…glad i could be of help …nice to finally be able to give back. i would more, but i still have my own personal demons to conquer. friggin lvl 5 gen is the ONLY thing standing in the way of me and a platinum…i :looney: and if i have to get a rapid fire controler to get it done, then i will :lol:

For trial 4 in his medium trials one of the combos is j.mk > cr.mp > lp rekka> super do you have to FADC after the rekka to be able to do the super? if not what do you do?
