try claw on cross up barcelona attack into lp.ase, and from that into super if you have full meter, i beat hard on first try using that.
I’ve tried the tactic of MP DP’s as many different people have explained but get punished 50% of the time with full combo’s or CA’s so I don’t know why it seems to be working for everyone else.
CPU rarely punishes DPs. 'Almost did it with Cammy on the 2nd try and I don’t main her, but Lvl 42 Laura decided I wasn’t allowed to win this time.
-Rashid Eagle Spike spam is fairly easy to do. Got it on my 2nd try (I don’t main him either). Just HK Eagle Spike, backdash a couple of times and do it again. Use MK Eagle Spike if they are too close and won’t stop walking toward you. You get a ton of chip damage and the CPU eventually takes the hit anyway. Against projectile heavy characters like Ryu and Nash, use the jump-in version of Eagle Spike to counter the projectile. EX Spinning mixer if you need to get them off of you (pretty much always works if they don’t stop walking forward).
As long as your health is high, opt for attack boosts early to get through the first 20-40 stages faster. Then opt for the defense boosts later on in case the CPU goes nuts on you, so you lose less health.
This isn’t always true as I found out on bison when I got punished into CA and died haha.
I beat Extreme Survival with Ken’s MP Shoryu trick. Assigned MP to turbo, held the button and kept doing the SRK motion all through the 100 matches. Also did Ken Hard using this method.
I’ve heard theres a mod that sets all survival difficulties to 1 round.
I wouldn’t mind leveraging that over this madness.
This is a complete lie if you ask me. Every time I have tried Hard with either Ryu or Ken this will get me maybe into the low 40s and then every time they block a MP DP I get hit with an insane combo.
I got all the way to level 47 (Vega) before really getting punished for the DPs. Any character that tried to punish the DPs I would just switch to sweeping them or jumping at them with jMK or HK into a DP and they usually wouldn’t block that. Once you get to about level 47 though you’ll just have to adapt to the way the CPU is playing a bit more and keep your health up.
Remember also against Bison that crossing him up makes him whiff c.HP often and gives you free punish.
Maybe they patched it in the Alex update or something?
I finished Extreme mode with Ken the day of the patch and the DP method still worked.
P.S. and when people say spam DPs… it’s literally just that. You just push them into the corner and DP til the cows come home. Even if the CPU blocks 4 times in row keep DP’ing.
Yeah this must have changed dramatically, I just played and even level 13 Ryu was blocking my DP’s and punished with a V trigger combo haha. It don’t work.
They’re also blocking nearly every cross up so now I’m truly stuck 
Edit: okay get a bit further next time to level 46 but the SRK tactic doesn’t work on birdie. He commands grabs you nearly every time
Birdie is the most cross-up-vulnerable character in the game. You have to change your tactics for certain characters. Birdie and R. Mika are two of them.
Hard survival is going to cause me to throw my PC out the window. At this point I’m willing to mod my game and get them offline.
I would never have wasted a second if I had the PC version of the game.
My tip is fuck this mode and capcom
Apparently there’s an exploit that allows you to stack damage for easy kills. Should be of use to PS4 players.
This makes no sense to me at all. Also, the one time I tried using fight request I got disconnected on the loading screen. This mode is terrible, get rid of it.

[/quote]Not sure if it worked… Used it for Normal with Zangief’s Story Costume and got through it quicker… perfect time to get colors… while the servers are down.
