Recently, I started to practise doing a complete Maeda-Jin (Kara HP Loop) combo on a crouching rival, it requires 10+ hp based on your combo starter and ender.
As a new babie to Maeda-Jin,I failed and had some frustration. I see SHO doing this all time, and I know Yuki can do it also, but I myself could never execute 7+ hp.
A friend coming back from Japan told me the rythms of Maeda-Jin are different between standing and crouching rival, yet I lack details of the difference.
With that all being said, could someone share his success secret?
Crouching characters will take more hit stun from the daipan and let you walk forward for a longer time/get more reps. It wil indeed drop on crouching makoto, who I would use keeper jin on. Some characters you may find yourself getting too close too and getting close mp/hp in the process of the loop. Just try different characters, and different setups into daipan loop to see the different spacings it will produce. It takes a general level of knowledge and comfort to pull out consistently in matches.
