So I play Dictator and Guile in SSFIVAE. Thing is, despite having logged a little over 100 hours across PC and Xbox combined, I still have trouble consistently pulling off the respective ultras of each character (most of the time it’s ultra 2 for both characters, I can’t recall the last time I’ve used ultra 2), doing combos of more than four moves is out of the question for me. Sometimes I can pull them off with perfect timing on recovery, other times I entertain my opponent struggling to do them. To remedy this situation, I took to training mode. Playing as Guile, after I do the Sonic Hurricane the first time I can pull it off another ten times or so. However, once I mess up I find myself once again struggling to pull it off once more. To solve this I decided to practice pulling the Sonic Hurricane off several times in a row and then intentionally failing. By doing this I’ve repeatedly encountered this problem. I’ve found that my success-to-failure rate has been rather consistent. Any advice?
Keep practicing.
100 hours is nothing.
I’ve blown 500 hours into this game and still can’t do my dp>fadc>ultra combo from left to right in real matches.
When you’re completely new to fighting games, or haven’t played one for a long ass time, you gonna have to put the work into it.
Almost every question you have execution wise has no shortcut answer, it’s always practice, practice, practice and practice more.
100 hours isn’t much, and do go by the rate others learn. I know it took me a lot longer than most of my friends to get execution down. Over time you will get better and better. Relax
When you get to a million hours then you should be worried about lack of great execution.
Guess I’ll be playing for 115.7 years straight then. Can’t wait to play at EVO 2129 when I’m 135 years old.
In all seriousness it seems that this entire thread can be summed up as “practice moar”. Guess there’s only one thing to do.
It sounds like you’re messing up because you’re overthinking. I like to let muscle memory completely take over because focusing too much on an input/a combo can make you mess up. I know it sounds weird but it works for me.
I mean, at first you think about it but after a while all of that practice stores in your muscle memory and you can do it without thinking. It will just come to you naturally and you will feel a lot more comfortable with the input.
