Just practice on pressing the button faster, preferably with the down-forward direction.
Thanks man. I’m gonna work harder in training mode and try to speed things up.
Lulz, I’m back. Imparted the gift of thunder on few faces today, haha. I guess i just needed some days away from Kaz to relax my EWGF muscles because now they come out instinctively. Kaz/Marduk is working pretty well, I can just hit them with a quick and saucy EWGF combo on launcher.
Haha real kazuya players never quit, they take breaks. This is your man.
Lol, yeah.
So, what normals are you guys cancelling your EWGFs out of? I’ve been using them after cr.Fierce on tag in, basically cr.Fierce xx EWGF, st.Fierce xx EWGF, is what I’ve been doing. I still need to work on EWGF, EWGF in a pinch to continue the combo.
Still though, what normals are you guys using for EWGF poking?
EDIT: Think I’m going to use cr.Forward.
cr.MK xx Mist Step xx EWGF would be the best imo. It combos at max range whereas cr.MK xx EWGF does not reach and cr.LK xx Mist Step xx EWGF does not combo.
Aah, that makes sense. The range is what had me curious, but that makes sense.
EDIT: Gah, I want to practice this now… >_> need to go to sleep though. I’ve got dat Devil Gene itch.
Had a bit of a breakthrough regarding the issue. When attempting s.HP xx Mist Step xx EWGF (F+:hp: , N, :qcf:, N, :df:+ :hp:) or cr.MK xx Mist Step xx EWGF (DF+:mk:, N, :qcf:, N, :df:+:hp:), if I hold the forward direction at the end of the QCF for just a small moment and then continue, the issue I was having does not occur and EWGF comes out a lot more consistently. Posting this in case anyone uses this method as well.
Was testing it earlier in training mode. At max range, cr.MK xx Mist Step xx EWGF(done fast enough to combo if it hit) seems to only have a 2 frame gap on block between the cr.MK and EWGF. As Ryu, I had the dummy Kazuya do it to me, blocked the cr.MK, and my cr.LK would get beat out by EWGF, meaning he was hitting me out of startup.
Interesting. Free CH on people who spam jab/short.

Damnit, just when I get this shit down, you guys are moving on to Mist Step > EWGF frame traps? I can’t keep you guys. :sad:
Edit: I always drop the last EWGF on P1 side though.
EWGF beating out Ryu reversal dp is strangely cathartic (doing it 3 times in a row is orgasmic.)
There’s no way around it, man. EWGF 10,000 count challenge. Do it. By 5,000 they’ll be coming out like butter.
Also, that video made my spurt a little. I still have a surprising amount of trouble doing EWGF EWGF fast enough, but I can do s.Fierce xx EWGF, s.Fierce xx EWGF, all day long. It’s funny seeing people go “WTF WHAT DO i DO?!”
Protip, Twin Fang is awesome., unfortunately the only way out of Twin Fang Statue Smash is st.Fierce xx EX Slaughter Fist, but its still a mighty nice mix up if you have the meter since you can go for cr.Roundhouse or Twin Fang Double Kick for a nice 50/50 mix up.
Lol, I don’t count my practice sessions but suffice it to say, I’ve done a LOT of EWGF’s since the game released. lp, mp, cr.mk, st. mk, cr.hp, hp > EWGF; you’re definitely right, practice makes is key.
Not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing o_O
On p2 side, any variation of EWGF isn’t an issue. On p1, I can do anything xx EWGF, EWGF consistently but after that my fingers/hands get wonky. Again more practice.
Statue smash is my go to mixup. I haven’t trained my mind to hitconfirm into 50/50s yet but it’s definitely awesome. And ex Slaughter > cr. hp xx EWGF > whatever is pretty sweet.

Lol, it definitely is a good thing.
Haha, my only issue right now is Kaz/Marduk just become second nature to me. I might start hitting training mode between matches, I don’t know.
Lol. That clip is hilarious. Yeah, I have been doing that midscreen combo in training mode for a while but doing it in a match is crazy uncomfortable. I don’t even realize how much damage I’m doing till I hear KO :eek:
I’m still looking for a partner for Kazuya (currently on Nina). After putting this much time into Kaz, I want to able to maximize his damage potential. I’m amazed that Mr. Naps went “straight” or Rolento; seems like a perfect match (in addition to Ken and Chun). I’m not a fan of those characters though :shake: .
You can EWGF off of launcher so it doesn’t really matter who you use as Kazuya’s partner.
Tag cancels (both ways) are important for me in team creation.
Yeah…
Law, Ryu, Ken, Rolento, Cammy, Guile, Juri <-- are all ones I’ve seen good work with.
Ive just started the 10,000 challenge we should make a thread and post our times like a time trial to see how we’ve improved it will be good

Just for fun… Sorry for the poor quality.
Which are the most damaging EWGF combos including Super or Cross Art you found?
