Bold canceling...harder than it looks...or easier?

I can wait half a second before doing my bold cancel.

I think as long as you finish the boldcancel + volcano motions before stinger ends it’ll come out. Like I said, get a rhythm and pace yourself.

I recently bought and arcade stick, and all of my prior muscle memory no longer applies. Well, learning Bold Cancelling is easier the second time, right? Right? :’(

Ok in the middle of a bnb when people relaunch with: cold shower xx prop shredder , teleport, hammer … how do you do the teleport after the prop shredder?
Is it a bold cancel as well? Or am I just not getting out the teleport in time? It’s pretty unnecessary considering that you can just jump up and hammer and it does the same thing…but you gotta keep it a stylish as possible right? I’m sure you guys can understand.

It’s a tiger knee teleport. Down, down, up + S.

alright thanks dude ill be sure to try it out

Is there anything else other than cold shower xx stinger bc teleport and stinger bc volcano that I should be working on? the only other time I use it is when im lazy and don’t fell like jumping up and doing the 270 degree motion before I hammer the opponent back down after a wesker otg.

stinger BC reverb
and
cold shower -> stinger BC grapple (very delayed)

What combo do you use after the grapple?

ok dude thanks. the reverb sounds excellent since that new “flying ve” tech came out.

I think reverb xx fireworks xx million dollars is your only option really if you don’t go into DT.

I only ask because I can usually get st. :s: after for a little baby combo. I figured there’d be an optimized version of that.

if its at the end of a combo, you usually use the grapple to reset them since grapple forces a forward tech roll.

either that or you can DT and dhc right after for some old school dhc glitch stuff

Whoa,never ever ever ever thought of this…this is a definite must try

i can Bc all day in training mode just about but when it comes to maches the pressure is on and i end up mashing forward H. really bad habbit i cant stand but i can BC teleport wit no problem…hell i play online alot and in the corner i even BC into sky dance to go for a mix up but for the life of me GOD for the life of me the volcano is really annoyin due to the fact that i have such a short time to BC i am a real ancy player and i react on impulse so fast. thats y i like your post because hitting 2 buttons is just 2 much ill consider switching my controller and have it do the 2 attk buttons for me :}

I don’t think you can actually set a macro to ATK + S. You can for all attacks + S (for X-Factor) but not for just ATK + S.

Don’t do shortcuts, its not reliable and the more you do it, more failures will occur.

You can do Stinger, immediately press Bold Cancel and then do your input fast.
Stinger+BC is like a PLink in SF4, don’t wait for the Stinger to hit, simply input BC immediately.

Lol, yes! This! I did the same thing! To learn I decided to learn dAnte, ironman, felisha. So many tears, but it will be worth it. Going o tournies and not having to worry about what system they are using. Buttons on sticks make doing things like bold cancel, charging buster, ect easier, but joystick motions are what is giving me the most trouble. I now put inputs on in training mode and it really helps a lot. I am able to bc 30% of the time and getting better, but I am open to try the plink method, as plinking will allow me to concentrate on joystick motion and button press one at a time. Idk, whAtever works

Ok I took the advise you and others said and treated the bc after stinger like a plink and that made a world of difference! I’m up to 80% and the 20% are mostly due to getting crystal instead of raw bc jump. Doing bc immediately after stinger gives you a lot of time. Now to work on bc air trick… Heard its a lot harder, but we’ll see

bold cancel air trick is surprisingly easy as long as you dont totally mash the shit out of the buttons when you do it.

start by figuring the speed you need to press 3 + :h: to get 2 gunshots (2 button presses is all it takes)

then start adding the stinger with 6 + a single press of :h: DO NOT MASH IT.

now you have all that time to do 2 + :s:+:a: , 2 + :s: in order to get the teleport.

its so easy doing it this way a lot of the time i do it too fast which can fuck you up since dante will literally teleport before the opp gets to the wall.

Shortcut makes bold cancelling easier for me. If plinking doesnt do it for you then give this a try
