I can’t for the life of me get Hard trial # 5 down!

Thats all good… and yes i’m doing it from the player 2 side.
I can not get that damn headbutt to come out… ever… unless I take to long and say
cr. lp
cr. lp whiff
headbutt comes out great
I can even do theheadbutt to ultra no problem… Maybe i’m missing the timing in miliseconds here 
if you’re good at landing c.lp -> c.lk after exupper you can throw in another ex upper and it will still register
did a quick vid

You might already know this, but i’ll point out anyway, cuz if the headbutt is the problem, this is probably why.
you want to make sure you’re timing those cr. lp so that they link instead of chaining or else you can’t cancel the second one into headbut. So its like a slower paced timing cr. lp cr. lp then cancel that second cr .p quickly into headbut.
check out this vid in case you haven’t seen it before, might help w/ the timing:

in hard trial 5, why is it that my buffalo headbutt keeps getting blcoked? am i not inputting it fast enough or did i miss something? when i try doing regular old cr. jp, cr. jp xx headbutt it works, just not in this damn combo. also,i know i’m jsut being lazy asking this second question…but why is it sometimes the first jab hits but the second jab whiffs?
Maybe im crazy but i’ve always found you have to input the heabutt a lot faster with c.lp then c.lk
Can someone assist me with hard trial 3? I get to the point where I do the dash straight, but I cant manage to connect the super afterwards. Do you have to input the super directly after the dash straight? (Back, Forw P) or do you have to wait a couple of frames?
As I have read int this thread you have to execute the dash straight and immediately do “Back, Forward, P” do initiate the super? So you keep the charge from the straight?
thx in advance 
You are canceling the dash into his super
Thx, I’m now on hard trial 4 almoooost
The last two hard trials are a piece of cake once you get the timing on the ex dash upper links…good luck to you.
This is the best explanation ever!! I love you!!! :party:
I just finished all of his trials, with most problems on 4 and 5.
The mistake i made was doing the headbutt straight up, or in some cases even forward up, that way your charge for the ultra goes byebye. What i did was going to training mode, put on the imput display, and broke down the combo in pieces to see where i was going wrong, the problem was quickly found.
cool, I have just finished Balrog, Ryu, Chun Li, Honda, and Dan hard trials.
And how is that comment helpfull in this topic?
I don’t know if anyone is having any troubles with hard 5 still, but i’ve found the following method to be 100% reliable:
(I use a Saturn pad modded to work on PC btw, so its on a similar dpad to the fightpads)
:uf::l::hk:
:l::hk:
:db::lk: now this is where my method differs, i roll my thumb up from down-back to back before going forwards for the ex upper. so…
:l::r::db::2k:
:db::lp:
:db::lp:
:ub::hp:
:r::l::r::3p: or :3k:
Theres not much difference between this and the other ways mentioned, but by just going to neutral back before going for the dash upper it eliminates any chance of getting the armor breaking punch (forgot what its called).
I hope this helps anyone struggling to nail upper loops consistantly 
can someone help me with number 4 hard trial. I can only get the c.lp after the EX rush punch every once and a while, so what is the timing for that like? Also when i do get the c.lp after the EX rush punch i get the c.lk but i can NEVER get the headbutt, so can someone explain the timing for that. For those of you that don’t know what the combo is
c.lp
c.lp
(add a c.lk here)
EX rush punch
c.lp
c.lk
HP headbutt
Ultra
im kinda stuck at the last part of normal trial #4 where u have to perform a buffalo head then ultra. it seem like i cannot pull the ultra off and help would be appreciate.
edit: thanx rainscape after trying for an hr i finally finished it lol
@haha:
Make sure you keep your back charge when doing the headbutt. Input would be something like:
(charge 2 seconds) :db: , :ub: + :p:, hold :l: until you land after the headbutt, :r:, :l: :r: + :3p:
You’ll also need to juggle your opponent with the ultra. Basically, Rog’s Ultra is a sequence of 5 punches. If you hold down a :k: button while he’s throwing a punch, he’ll throw an uppercut. Otherwise you’ll get a straight. To maximize the damage of your juggled ultra, you’ll need to juggle in such a way so that the last punch will connect.

Can someone help me with # 4 cant connect the c.lk to headbutt, keep jumping back, and i for sure get 2 sec of charge
you have to delay hitting the lk a little later. You’re canceling two normals (lp xx lk), what you want to do is link the attacks by delaying your second normal to cancel into a a special move (the headbutt). These mechanics can be applied to pretty much any combo.
