Ok so I’ve been playing SSF4AE for about 6 months off and on now. I still can’t understand what I am doing wrong with my focus attacks. I thought that they were supposed to have one hit of armor. If you watch the videos I posted you can see that my focus attacks had no armor, and you can see that I am not dash canceling before being hit. Any help would be appreciated.
Focus only has armor during the charging portion unless you do level 3 focus. This means that if you let go of the buttons so you lose armor. What happened is you let go of the buttons and before the attack hit.
Oo ok. I think I’m letting go too early then. I blame online lag 
You can never go wrong with that
