Just some little tips to add to thisā¦ 
Do the motion when youāre getting up, and finish it right before you can get hit, like Xenozip said.
But there are little button pressing tricks you can do to help increase your success rate once you do the motion.
Ok, so youāre getting upā¦ and letās say you want to do a DP as reversal. You perform your joystick motion, and then you can drum your fingers over all the punch buttons, and let them go. The same way you would drum your fingers on your desk if you were bored or something.
Remember, releasing a button is the same as pressing a buton when it comes to executing specials. So if you drum your fingers right, you get 6 punch button inputs, very quickly, in a very short time period.
Once you perform your joystick motion, the game will recognize it, and āholdā it, waiting for a button input. So you can perform, and complete your motion just before you get up, and drum your fingersā¦ if you happen to input a punch button during the reversal window, Voila! Reversal DP!
Instead of trying to pinpoint the reversal window EXACTLY with 1 single input, you have a constant stream of inputs happening. If the reversal window appears during this stream, you should get a reversal DP.
This makes it much much easier to perform reversalsā¦ Once I started using this method, my reversal success rate went up tenfold. Itās good.
This is great is you donāt care which button executes the specialā¦ X-ism Supers for example. However, if you really want a specific button to execute the special you can use another technique.
If you really need that HP dragon punch, or HP for that A-ism lvl3ā¦ you can drum just the one button. One way is to use your middle and index finger. First, flick you middle finger downward on and off the button, and the your index finger right after. Thatās 4 possible inputs. I geuss you could use 3 fingersā¦ hell, I suppose you could use 2 hands and get 16 inputs or something. 
But this should work well enough.
Then thereās other stuff to maybe keep in mindā¦ like, if you have 2 levels of meter, MP and HP will both activate it, so drum both those buttons if you want a lvl2.
This technique is good for reversal sitautions (getting up, coming out of hitstun or blockstun, etc) but can also help with tight links or precise normal attack useā¦ With normals though, releasing a button doesnāt count as an input.
Too much info? Maybeā¦ but I would recommend EVERY player practice and take advantage of this. It makes it soooooo much easier to get reversal.
