Help with normal 2 and 1

First off I’m a noob playing Sakura, and I’m having a hell of a time buffering her hp shouoken into cr mk for her normal 2 and 1 combo. I get it right 70% of the time, but the other 30% I end up doing her Otoshi over head thing.

I’ve checked my inputs, but there’s no difference, which leads me to believe my timing is off, or it’s my method. I hold down the hp button, and release it at about the same time I’m going into the cr mk, I’m starting too think I shouldn’t be doing it this way. The move seems fairly basic, so it’s becoming more then a bit frustrating. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

sounds like you’re doing it backwards… you don’t need to hold hp before you do the c.mk

just do :df:+ :mk: then :d::df: :hp:

the :df: counts as the initial towards motion needed for the shouoken AND the crouch for the c.mk

I’m hella sloppy and do a whole :qcf::hp: and it still works… but don’t be sloppy like me :slight_smile:
