How do you armor cancel

well at least i think thats what it was called when you focus an attack then go straight into ultra

You can cancel most moves into a focus attack (at the expensve of 2 EX bars) by doing the focus attack immediately after inputting the cancelable move.

any move that has armor properties, you just do another move on the frame that you absorb the hit

I think what you’re asking is more simple than the answers you’re getting. If you want to do almost anything nifty with focus attack, you have to cancel the animation by dashing either forwards or backwards.

To more specifically answer the question you’re asking, say your opponent throws a punch and you absorb it with a focus attack, immediately after you let go and your attack hits the opponent, dash forward (hit forward twice) then input the motion for your ultra.

However, this will only work if your focus attack puts the opponent in a “crumple” state. (When he falls on his knees.) And I’m not the authority on what conditions have to be met for a counter FA to crumple an opponent, I’m sure someone will correct me if I’m wrong.

A good idea would be to go to training mode and have the dummy throw punches and you FA them to see if you crumple them, then dash and do ultra.

lol, you guys. I know he says, “focus an attack then go straight into ultra”, but I’m pretty certain he’s trying to ask how to do this: [media=youtube]r7iWYL_22TM[/media]

like I said, Any move that has armor-properties, on the frame that you absorb a hit, do another move. The frame, as in: 1/60th of a second timing. It’s pretty hard to do, you usually have to buffer in the inputs so that by the time you absorb a hit you got the motion done and you just need to hit the button. This was first discovered via Balrog, so the Balrog forum should have a big thread about this. Other characters with armor-moves tend to have little threads on the subject too. Like: El Fuerte, Gouken, Makoto, Abel, Zangief, etc.

Wow

Yeah, I see what you’re saying. He’s basically extending his hyper armor by timing the move out of the focus. Crazy shit.

looks impressive doesn’t it!! are there any other vids on youtube that displays this with different characters?? if so links please hehe

It doesn’t waste meter if you do it correctly too. Rog can do a sort of option select with it too. If he predicts the opponent is going to do a fireball, he can ex rush punch and then buffer the ultra while doing it. If the opponent throws a fireball (even EX) he will absorb the hit and then ultra through. If they don’t throw a fireball and just block, it’s safe.

Wow thank u guys soo much
