practice won’t really help. Once I finish the hurricane kick and I immediately do the s.lp to connect the combo, it won’t work, so I think there must be something that you know when to hit the s.lp. If you do not know when or how to do it, it is hard for you to get used to it.
whenever i am trying to link stuff like this… i start practicing it by hold down on the stick as the move finishes, soon as sak crouches is when you know you can input the s.LP, its more about timing than double-tapping, etc
Acually this isnt’ completely true. You can mixup with it between the three punches or you can cancel it and throw. This is mostly effective after her BnB.
or… they can DP/super/AA normal you out of the air.
Against characters that dont have fast AAs you can start the 3 punches right when they’re getting up. It’s works better than you think. And I didnt say that it was the perfect move. I just said that it’s not completely useless. PAY ATTENTION DAMN IT!!!
why would you want to do the move as a meaty attack?
it’s not safe when blocked, you get your ass tossed if you cancel it. you can do c.strong xx hurricane kick/fireball or actually any OTHER block string cuz it’ll work a lot better and is a lot safer, more gaurd crush, more damage. why would you want to risk all that other than to be different and use a move no one uses.
there’s pretty much no point in using that move, unless it’s a lvl 2 cancel(since it’s gauranteed damage), to get fancy points, or your just plain stupid.
seeing how the thread is for “nub sakura players”, dont’ use that move.
Hey!!! I dont use the flower punch personally. I’ve seen a match vid of somebody who fucked some people up using the flower punch. I just posted that it’s not completely useless. Plain and simple. Personally I just do the M.k dive kick technique. I’ve tried to use the flower punch in a match, but it’s really hard to use, but if you know how then it seems to be a really good move. Not one that I myself would use myself, but that doesnt mean it sucks.
My biggest problem in doing the shoshosho is that hadokens keep coming out. Any ideas what I’m doing wrong?
be precise, acurate and take your time. Hadokens are the problem everyone gets at first. You’ll get it. dont trip. :tup:
I more meant, is it because I’m pressing punch too early, or too late?
exactly what I meant. I was saying that there is a certain timing to when you press fierce and when you do the motion. Just press fierce every time you get to forward on the stick. Take your time too. You’ll be pricise and get a LITTLE more damage than if you rush it.
Sup Snake, can you give me some strat against Sagat? What i usually do is try to built meter, if sagat gets to close I poke him with S. Hk if he spams tiger shots I Rc hurricane kick through it. I always feel like i need to have meter in order to beat him what you think?
Um yeah, s.rh him, RC Hurricane him (try not to do it randomly though, that means straight up jump combo and you lose more than 1/4 life, and your almost stunned. RC Jab fireball is pretty good too in this match imo. Just play it safe, and you pretty much can’t beat him without meter, he does WAY more damage than you, and takes ALOT less. Just get your damage opprotunities when you can.
Seems like you got it down, but you should try to take advantage of every time you RC a huricane kick. H.k Huricane kick, jab->F.p DP. And if you have meter then… H.k Huricane kick, jab-> Activate, C.Mk->shoshosho. IMO thats all her huricane kick is good for. Just using it to link shit.
Sagat isnt’ too much of a problem without meter, because Sakura builds it so fast so you dont really need to worry about it. Just play it safe and poke the shit outta’ him til’ you get meter and then Sagat aint’ shit.
1st off, its jab, strong xx fierce dp. Second, don’t tell him to do freaking on frame links when he’s obviously pretty new to Sak. Just do the qcb kick ender. Free knockdown. And LOL if you think her hurricane is only good to link stuff.
He’s new to Sak so thats exactly why I didnt throw in the strong. It’s not that hard to get the link if you just do a jab. If he cant do it then he can do the regular kick ender, but it’s better if he learns that link.
As for her huricane kick all it’s good for is if you can RC it. It’s a decent move sure, but Sak has alot of oher shit she can do in any situation so why bother with it.
And Epsilon_ quit being so damn bitter about the past and get over it. I coulda have talked shit at first too, but I didnt feel like getting into another big flame war. That shit gets old after a while.
Lol, the hurricane, jab link is a ONE frame window. Jab, strong link is an easy like 3 frame link. Also, I know you were talking about RC Hurricane, but almost no one does the whole jab link afterward, it’s too inconsistant. I don’t mean to flame you or anything, I’m just wondering why you post erroneous info.
good/decent players will mash out supers if they kno you’re gonna go for the 1 frame link. or at least DP you out of it.
I didnt know you can stop a combo. A combo is a combo no matter how hard. It seems unrealistic that you can escape a combo just because it only has one frame to link it. And if it was I doubt you would be able to do it by mashing.
Alot of the time people who are new to Sak are always too focused on getting the one frame link and getting the strong afterwards is a little difficult. It may be easy to pull off a 3 frame link, but for some it could be hard to do it after a 1 link frame. You really should remember that he’s new to Sak and cant do as much as someone who hasnt been playing Sak for very long. And there isnt anything wrong with ever using the link just because it’s a little inconsistant. I only get it 6 or 7 times outta’ ten so I would never even think of using it in a turny, but once again like I have to say in other threads lemme’ say that this isnt about tournies, this is about casual play and becoming the best player you possibly can. Your making it seem like just because something is a little bit harder than everything else that it shouldnt be used. If mastered then you CAN use it in a big tourny, but it is really hard to master a 1 frame link, but if you can then whats stopping you from doing it. And me posting wrong info is just your opinion. Sure a little might be sorta false at times, but we all make mistakes.
Hey guys I’m back for some more strat. I keep on hearing how good Saks corner game is, what some of the stuff that i can do to locked my opponent down in the corner? I know you can hurricane kick xx jab into another hurricane kick but what’s some of the easier ones. and yes I am new two Sak so the one frame link is really hard for me. Also Epsilon I read some of your strat in the earlier thread, it helped me out a lot thanks.
