Improving yourself doing cancels

hi guys, still been playing SFxT recently and i got myself a gamepad (a madcatz gamepad) well its quite better compared to using the stock PS3 controller its easier to access strong attacks with 6 button controllers but anyway here is my question

how can i understand or maybe learn the proper executions of cancels in SFxT, like doing from m.P to hadouken, but how can you confirm your execution if you really made a cancel? should i see a combo ? 2 hits message maybe?

or for chun-li if you are doing the trials #9 i can do the target combo > cr.HP but i cannot execute the cancel from cr.HP to Hard Spinning bird kick. i noticed in chun-li’s trial videos well once the hard punch hit you can immediately execute spinning bird kick and you no longer need to wait for the second hit of the cr.HP. but i tried doing this, and iits not working. i also checked my button inputs; and i pressed the correct buttons. what seems to be the problem? how can i time my cancels properly?

how you guys can help me here thanks you in advance

More than likely your not charging the spinning bird kick long enough. Another common problem is pressing the desired button for the cancel too early/late.

You have to throw bird kick on the first hit of crouching fierce. You’re not allowed to cancel the second hit. You also just might not be doing fast enough.

ok thanks for the tips. may i ask on can you study a character on what are their moves that can be cancelled and what moves are not?

Every character has certain moves that cannot be cancelled. Not sure about Chun-Li but i think her far standing medium punch can’t be cancelled. The only character I could actually tell you about in regards to cancel-able moves is Juri. Although I will say its a given fact that nobody can cancel their sweep. Unless there is something I haven’t seen yet.

shoto cancellable sweep is back in SFxT
