Well I did it on D-pad (PS3), and what I do is Press LPx2 during the EX hands (like in the last hits of the move), then LP+MP several times. That way I will link the LP after the EX hands and repeat.
I can do this around 80% in practice mode, online and during offline battle might be different %, but at least I can do 2 in a row. Is a timing that worked for me, so dunno if it will work for someone else. =/
for ex i do:
lp, mp, hp, hp~mp~lp (basically this means i piano hp to lp like a kara but keep the buttons held down)
or you can do:
lp, mp, hp, lp~mp~hp
or another really easy way to do ex hands is:
lp, mp, hp, mash 2 or 3 punch buttons at the same time twice.
i’m pretty sure on most characters this combo only works with ex head butt. not even sure who it works on with fp hb. rufus maybe? might just be everyone is ex head butt. oh well, i don’t use it because hhs combos are better.
also, i’m almost certain this combo to super after headbutt since you are so far away from the other character by that time.
plus it’s HP HHS into EX smash, not EX HHS. I always wondered what else you could do with that +10. Really good find. The standing part is a little annoying, but it seems practical if they try to jump out of C.LP x HP hhs causing the hhs to hit standing. So, Guile + Rog only so far?
yo jewelman it was great getting to see another honda player at the tourney last weekend. you’ve got some mixups that i haven’t incorporated into my game yet, it was really helpful seeing you play all those rog matches
thats cool that you were there man were you the pad honda? you were doing hands every now and then LOL and mr snk i have ordered one from someone here on srk its on the way even though more tournaments i’m going to seem to be on the 360 we will play next week
lmao oooo i didnt get to mirror match any of them but i did do it in casuals I got to MM ruin from our pool and find my farms lost money on that toan fanatiq MM so he couldnt do it LOL
yeah i know, i wish FP HHS linked to st.FP since it’s 10 frames but unfortunately the fp doesn’t seem to reach until later in the active frames
the trick to all these combos depends more on the individual hit box and reeling animation of the other character.
for example, i’ve started using standing and crouching strong on a few characters to connect super.
like for standing rufus: j.rh, cr.mk xx fp hhs, st.MP xx Super
great damage and extra time to hit confirm and charge.
also, for that combo, the standing part is nice. because most of the time you hit one of these combos it’s on standing. crouching hit when you’re in that close of range is much more rare. generally only happens when rog or guile try to cr.FP anti air you too late.
anyway. i can’t stress enough though that you have to be pretty much on top of guile during the hhs to land this combo.
i also get way better results using the up forward motion instead of up back for butt stomp because it moves you forward slightly.
Thanks for the reply! I guess that’s the standard piano method outlined in Mr SNK’s video. One more question, and sorry if this has already been posted, but how does one do the short kick to jab to HHS? What are the inputs? Do you just link short kick to jab piano? I’ve tried doing it in Training Mode and just can’t.
