Hard Trial #4 is making me it’s bitch.

Early on I somehow got to the Crazy Buffalo but failed the Ultra attempt. Haven’t gotten back since.

I’m consistently hitting both c.LPs and getting the ex-dash to come out, but it’s not counting as part of the combo even though it’s connecting on Dan pretty easily. I assume it’s coming out a tad late? It seems like I’m canceling the 2nd c.LP into the dash almost instantaneously. Am I supposed to do it faster, or is there a different timing issue in there somewhere?

On trial 4 I believe it’s c.LP c.LK Heavy Buffalo, and its c.LP x 2 Heavy Buffalo for trial 5.
On both of these timing is weird you want to space out the two light attacks as much as possible and do the headbutt as quickly as you can after the c.LK or second c.LP (for trial 5).
Remember to keep your back charge so you don’t screw up the Ultra. I can’t tell you how many times I made that simple mistake…

Still stuck on hard 4. First time I turned it on today I nailed it all except I accidentally did an ex-headbutt instead of a fierce. <sigh>

Now I can’t get the 3rd move, the ex-dash to connect still. I mean I’m connecting, it’s just not counting. I tried pausing and seeing what I’m doing wrong, and nearly every time the dash is connecting right as the combo meter on the health bar reaches the very end, apparently a frame or two too late. The few times I did connect it the dash it seemed like my dash came out much sooner. When I’m failing it appears the dash starts when the meter from the 2nd jab is about 1/3 to 2/5 across already and just doesn’t have enough time to continue the combo.

I mean it feels like I’m hitting the 2nd jab and dash as fast as possible together, and I’m starting the 2nd jab after his first jabs animation is reset. There has to be a simple fundamental I’m doing wrong in there somewhere.

edit: Figured it out. I was actually starting my ex-rush TOO soon after the 2nd c.jab. Time for trial 5.
double edit: Beat trial 5 in under 5 minutes. Pretty easy if you have 4 down. Got my cube!

Hard trial 4 gave me the most trouble. Once I had a decent understanding of that, trial 5 came fairly easily.

[media=youtube]Ob1ofeu7-kM"[/media] definitely helped me with timing. Nevermind the actual combo the guy does, listen to the clicks for timing. Mentally thinking of the “1, 2-AND”(if you want to think of it in a musical sense) while doing the combos eventually got me my cube :smiley:

Hi Everyone…
Im using Rog and I was can anyone help me out with something… I can’t seem to figuring out the timming for the EX rush upper cut into the cr. Jab - Cr, Jab … Can anyone help me out on this one?

Thankful, that was so helpful.
I was always trying :db: :uf: :l: :r: :3p:

Been stuck forever on hard trial number 5 after doing the first four in under 10 minutes.

The headbutt just doesn’t come out, and i’m sure i’m not cancelling the second jab…i’m linking it ffs, i can do the bnb 95% of the time and am also quite consistent with ex rush upper c.lp c.lk xx headbutt.

That fuckin trial is driving me nuts

when rog stops flashing yellow from the the ex upper and starts ducking immediately press jab. You should make it with some practice, not that hard to do offline. Online it’s a completely different story tho

man hard trial 5 is raping me, i got everything out but the ultra like 4 times fml

Yeah took me a while too but it was one of the most fun combos to get down. It helped me a lot to be patient while doing it.

From all my attempts at completing this combo I finally learned the “rog rhythm”. Once you completed you’ll get the urge to do it 2 times in a row without messing up. That’s when you know you’re starting to master Mr Tyson :wink:

how long did it take you guys to clear hard trial 5? its ripping my fuckin nuts off

just making sure but do on hard trial 5 are you suppose to cancel the second jab into headbutt?

If I remember the combo right…

j.hk > s.hk > c.lk xx EX Upper > c.lp > c.lp xx hp.HB > Ultra

So yes.

ok so now i can get the headbutt to come out fairly consistently but the ultra is not coming out … any tips?

Your execution needs work then. That’s the only problem I can think of. Ultra juggle should be free in this combo. Make sure you are going to :ub:+:hp: to execute the HB, NOT :u:+:p: because you will lose your back charge. Many new Rog players don’t know how to keep back charge and precharging. To illustrate how you will be keeping charge:

:uf::l::hk:
:l:+:hk:
:db:+:lk:
:uf::db:+:lk::mk:
:db:+:lp:
:db:+:lp:
:ub:+:hp:
:r::l::r:+:lp::mp::hp:

When I was having troubles doing the ultra after headbutt, it turned out to be because I was doing the inputs too fast; try waiting until you land on the ground and then finish the ultra inputs.

thanks for the tips guys im gonna try and get it done this week when i have time

im stuck on buffalo head (charge down - up p.) to violent buffalo (charge left - charge right- left right HK or HP) i dont understand how to link them properly anyone with advice would be thankful

have been reading through the thread dont know how much people can add on this one

Just did it - extremely difficult for anyone trying
Advice I can give is charge back until u finish the headbutt and you have landed then start your ultra

finally got the last challenge done after many failed attempts

Not sure exactly what you’re talking about, but I don’t know of any combo where you have to charge left and then charge right. Are you talking about just doing a headbutt into ultra/super as they’re falling? If so, the easiest way to do it is to do the headbat as charging db, then ub (which means you’re still charging back the whole even as you perform the headbutt), bring the stick to b, and then do a quick f,b,f as they land. super simple.
