You need to do the cr.fp with the same timing as the s.fp off a fwd mk. Practicing the fwd mk xx dash -> s.fp will help you get Abel’s dash timing down for CoD xx FA xx dash -> cr.fp.
I personally buffer the dash before the FA cancel comes out, but that’s just me.
yah I buffer the dash as well.
I’ll try to do it with the fwd mk xx dash ->s.fp timing in mind, thx.
I think maybe it’s because I don’t go to neutral after the dash, before the cr.fp. I hold down while he’s dashing. do you go FADC, neutral, down+fp after dash?
That was posted an hour and a half after I asked, in a different thread.
They dont have search functions that search the future. my bad.
I wasn’t complaining at you, I was moreso bitching in general. Sorry if I came off as an ass. I just didn’t want to write it out again.
Its all good, it was a good post. 
Thank you.
Guys, it’s difficult but to be cliche, practice makes perfect. I can do it 80 percent of the time, it used to be runs of 0 percent where i’d keep doing it and would get blocked or the hp wouldn’t even come out.
Don’t despair, keep trying you’ll get it soon.
Just got done reading over this thread. Stuck on hard trial 2 (apparently like a lot of other people were) - forward kick -> dash -> HP -> CoD
Thanks for the tips Busta, I just wish I knew what the exact timing was…I get the HP to connect maybe 1/50 attempts and usually miss the CoD. The one time I got it I activated my super right after the Second Mid -_-.
And I’m doing all this on a 360 controller XD.
I did it on the x box controller and found one of the most difficult parts to do was the dash consistently >.<
I’ve said it some where b4 but if u use visual clues u do the HP off the dash just as the smoke/dust drifts off Abel’s heel. I found this helped me get the timin’ for it but may not be usefull for every1 tho.
I just spend about an hour and a half doing hard 2 before I got it. When I checked here (bout 1 hour in) and found out how small the window was, I started treating it like a pain in the ass link. It’s hard as hell, but I can get it a whopping 20% of the time. (up from 0, haha)
Thanks for the help.
Woot - Just finished Abel’s hard trial 5.
I spent a couple minutes here and there everyday trying to get it. I didn’t really sit down for more than 1 hour a day. I knew I would get it sooner or later, just have to get used to the timing.
It’s already been said before but… it’s all muscle memory. Practice it in 2 parts.
Step 1: Forward Kick --> Dash --> Fierce
Step 2: Fierce --> Med. CoD --> FADC (More often than not, I didn’t hold MP+MK long enough and just hit Dan)
But them both together… and you should be good. It’s a ridiculous combo, but I can pull off the first part pretty consistently now, but I wouldn’t use it in a real match, I would rather just command grab after the dash.
Now I only have Fuerte, Chun, Gen, Balrog, Seth and Gouken to complete x_x.
I’m stuck on this one. The whole thing is pretty easy except for the CoD. I end up getting the super every single time. frustrating.
you proly got the super because you mashed qcf. just do qcf motion once.
Anyone clue me in as to the point of easy challenge 5?
It’s to teach you a couple of useful links (that are then usually used in later challenges.)
I am already stuck on the 1st combo on normal Trial: 3.
C+hp into wheel kick. I am always a bit late with wheelkick. Do I ve to cancel or something? in the vids it doesnt looks like…thx 4 help
there r a lot of combos after this, i can make, but this is a pain in the arse
U cancel the cr.hp on the second hit into wheel kick or roll
Hey guys I’m stuck on level 3 combo 3.
hp-change direction
For the life of me I can’t get the standing hp to cancel into CoD any tips?
If it was the crouching HP canceling into CoD instead I would be the master of it.
This was hard for me at first too. You cancel as soon as the first hit connects. It’s easier for me to negative-edge it (press down fp, qcf motion, release fp).
So after about 2 weeks I’ve finally done Hard 5! The lovely cuboid is mine!
Man, I just got to Hard 5… I have a feeling this is going to take me a while. I only have a few more Hard trials left, this and Gen Hard 5. I also need to do Viper’s and Fuerte’s.
