Dictator Combo Thread: He rules with an Iron Fist...of Energy!

Does CH close HP, c. MK xx HK Knee Press work on everyone except Juri, Balrog, and Blanka, even after a blocked c. LK tick? I tried it myself and was pleasantly surprised by how many characters it worked on (sweet delicious 2-frame link). I remember HP Psycho Crusher whiffing on a couple of characters, but I forgot to note which ones…

I’ve been trying to work on the (walk forward) CH cl. fierce, st.lk, st.hk link. Crispy.

CH cl.fierce, cr.mp, st.mk (st.hk on large characters) is more damage, but less practical.

edit: tick cr.lk, CH cl.hp, cr.mk xx hp psycho seems to work fine on Sakura. I thought it might not because she can block cr.mp xx HP crusher at max cr.mp range (without counterhit)

cl.mk, cr.mk works on the twins.

CH cl.mk, cr.mp, st.mk also works.

What a beefy combo!

I’ve been trying to do a little more gutsy CH Close s.HP into s.LK s.HK but my timing is off a lot and I opt for CH close s.HP s.HK link.

Yeah, I’ve been working on using walk forward, CH s.hp, s.lk, s.hk too, but timing is tricky to learn. First, you have to train the other guy to stop pressing buttons first, and THEN you can work on it.

I tend to get more CHs after dashing in.

how the hell do you chain c.LK ? i can do a 2hit at best

try hitting the third cr lk slightly faster than the 2nd… see if that helps if you are dropping it

tried it, doesnt work and i’m losing it

i dont get it, i mean how hard can it be to press rapidly the same button ? how can i have trouble doing something as simple as that ?

you dont press it super fast it’s a link. You kinda pause briefly between pressing the button, but you cant pause too long or you will drop it. Just keep messing around with it and you will find the timing and it will become second nature. Trust me on this, it’s not hard, it’s not a frame 1… you need to play around with it until you discover the rhythm, that’s the only way.

Also make sure you are doing this offline, online depending how bad your connection is can be hard to impossible lol.

i’ll give it another shot at my next training session, i just hope i’m not disabled or something lol

thx i appreciate your help btw

well i finally managed to chain the c.LK, but only by seting the turbo on the button :confused:

thats ok, pay attention to the sound and animation it may help you figure it out

i did it without the turbo this time, it was about time

but i had to press the button so fast its not practical in a match

you’re doing it wrong then… you shouldn’t be mashing it its like cr lk … crlk… cr lkxx sk

maybe i should make a vid on this

hey i’d really appreciate this, but please show me with a pad, because on a stick you’re supposed to hit the button faster

Not true at all.

yeah well anyway i understood how to link the c.LK, but with the same timing sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt

weird stuff

xcopied from Neurosis:

cl.hp, st.lk, cr.mk xx scissors works on the twins

well dash under dive kick works sometime, and YES random light PC can make them trade…

best way is make them come, and if you can’t push them run, repeat, until they make dump mistake to come in wrong time/direction so you can apply the pressure and punish…

I thought my move notation was OK, but what does CH mean?

(I know I’m going to regret asking this :()
