completely character dependent, some characters cannot be tagged even on lvl 3
Thanks for this post ARKLON, you saved me some good time here. The key here is to HOLD FOCUS, hold it on your upback charge for who knows how many frames and then dash to do it, I was doing it very fast and was not able to get it. So far Ive landed ZERO autocorrected FADC ultras, seems like corner is back dash and in open room is forward dash.
Ok it is no 5 hours since I first played it and I can fk, fadc to ultra pretty consistent.
Not in combos, My left hand hurts. lol
sup guys… man the backdash to ultra 2 is hard for me to pull off!
still working on the challenge combos.
Quoted for FUCKING truth.
I’ve practiced FK FADC U2 for about 2 hours over the course of 3 sessions and couldn’t get it down consistently for the life of me.
Then I read about holding ub and was hella skeptical. Just tried it out and hit FK FADC U2 5 - 6 times in a row. Hell, I’m doing it TOO fast now cause Guile ends up facing the wrong way (either Ryu is behind him or he auto corrects and Ryu lands behind him).
Someone’s got to do the math on Flash Explosion. I’ve stopped a Sagat’s Angry Scar Tiger Uppercut tonight during his invincible frames, and it didn’t trade…it just cut right through his move. Can’t test it anymore right now, but I’m curious on the first frames of FE. If the standard FK has frames of invinciblity like everyone says ( and yes, I’d have to agree after playing some matches myself) maybe FE got some in that department.
using SF4 data
guile ultra1 = 10 frame invincibility
sagat DP = 5 frame invincibility
I cannot for the life of me do a dash ultra. I get the correct inputs (:l::r::r::l::r::3p:) but nothing comes out or I get a normal. When do you hit :3p:? Is it during the dash or immediately afterwards?
I was having problems until I slowed down the whole process, saving the last two directional inputs for when the dash is 95% complete. Then I have been double tapping 3p for a sloppy 3 inputs. Don’t know if that helps.
edit: for clarification this is in reference to focus forward dash ultra and naked forward dash ultra.
I still can’t do it consistently, but I’ve gone from doing it 10% of the time to more than half the time. Here’s 2 tips that really helped me out:
-
After the FK, hold UB while focus canceling.
-
After canceling, let your stick go neutral and quickly begin the dash and U2 command. I realized I was taking too long from going neutral to beginning the dash and would lose my charge.
I think he means just plain dash> Ultra, Pete. Shouldn’t be too hard if I can do it.
I haven’t even bothered to try practicing it yet. The damage output sucks even if it lands =/.
The flashkick FADC that is. I’m focusing more on the basics as usual.
Has anyone figured out a way to consistently do FK FADC backwards ultra 2?
How about just plain FADC backwards ultra 2 without the flashkick first?
For this I can do the following: I can input charge back, mp+mk, then as fast as I possibly can, -> <- -> <- -> PPP
Im so far finding this easier than tapping back for the dash, since this way you can just repeat -> <- as fast as you can, and the first time you do it, it will trigger the backdash.
The only problem is, I cant figure out the right timing for the PPP. If I turn on autofire, I can get it to work most of the time if Im quick enough. But without autofire I can get it basically never. So that seems to mean Im pressing PPP at totally the wrong time.
Can anyone figure it out, or have a better way?
I really dont think the hold FA dash forward method is sensible outside of combos, since youre at huge disadvantage and punishable on block.
I know exactly what you mean. I don’t have the greatest execution (lol, and yet our character has a bunch of 1 frame links and a hard Ultra FADC combo).
That being said, if I can do a combo, anyone can do it. Real talk though, if anyone can do it consistently, record their hands / stick. I want to hear the timing in respect to what’s going on in the screen.
please tell me you can do flash kick, fadc, hurricane then! lol. i gotta learn this on a pad. 
I don’t know about consistently, but I saw blueboypnoy do it in a match on the Replay Channel!
I
can do it in training room comsistently, it is hard to do it in game, you need to have the bars and the oportunity.
You need to keep the back charge for same frames you press focus , then dash however you want. This FADC is not like ryus were you have a big window to enter the commands, it is probably the hardest FADC
Alright, well, I can now do it fairly consistently with a forward dash without putting the extra pause into the focus attack. The pause isnt necessary, and without it it seems safe on block. Still it would be much nicer to be able to do it with a backdash… I dont really want to forward dash into zangief…etc… but its something.
so guys fk fadc high kick totally impossible? dont have the game to test :L
IMO, I practiced doing the regular forward dash to ultra about 5 times. Then tried doing the fk > fadc > ultra. The way I pulled it off was doing the db > ub+k~fa > forward > forward > back > forward +kick. The FA hold (charge) is literally nonexistant. I’ll pull up a video later in the afternoon with details on the hold.
Fixed.
