"Hands" - it's about hands

@"Blue Lightning"‌ I personally found K-Brad’s method pretty bad. For cr. mk > LP hands I use hp mp lp mp lp, you just roll your fingers and IMO it’s pretty easy to do
Won a match at a tournament against a Dudley from simply doing that over and over lol

On another note, does anyone have recommendations for doing st. hp > cr. mk > hp hands?
I don’t really have a problem doing cr. mk > hp hands on it’s own, but in that combo since there’s a 1 frame window, I like to plink the mk with lk, but after plinking it I find it hard to get the hands in on time. I know I could plink it with lp and then press 4 more punch buttons but personally I find that really awkward to hit… maybe I should practice it? How do you guys do it?

I don’t do that combo ever, easy solution.

I stick to cr.hp cr.mp, cl.hp cr.mp, and the 3 medium normaal combos or considering cl.hp is usually after a dizzy I’ll just go for focus > stomp > spiral > dp.

hey guys how can i do sting combos into ultra?

im not using hands because they are ass on block too

If you can’t consistently c. MK xx Hands, honestly, I’d pick a different character.

More like I’d consider it important to learn and practice till you get it, not if you can’t do it immediately you should quit. Which is how you sounded at least to me.

Nah that’s not how I meant it. I just don’t think it would be very rewarding to play a character whose tools you’re not willing or able to learn to use to their fullest. Like, trying to play Honda without hands can’t be very much fun either. If you really want to play Decapre, you gotta learn hands or you’re gonna have a bad time. If you don’t want to learn hands, pick a different character.

Thought as much but clarification is good.

does anybody have any tips for doing hands on a regular controller?

Read the thread

read? thats too hard!

reading thread is too hard, bought turbo controller

Get a ps controller set all punches to shoulder buttons

Use a madcatz and put your hand claw style

Imo hands will always be more consistent on a stick

You can be equally consistent on both. I’m an average PS2 pad player that’s got it down 100%

But I’ve always been of the belief no medium can hold you back… unless you’re on a DDR mat

I still think it’s better on a stick, I can do it on both, I’ll agree to disagree. Put it this way, it’s obviously very doable on pad there is no reason you can’t play the character on pad. It’s really not that hard was pretty much the first combo I learned in sf4 with honda lol
