^^Are u serious? how old are u?!?! (j/k)

The Cult Classic: The Last Dragon.

Bruce Leroy & Sho’nuff = 2 of the baddest mofos of all time!

Thank you, good sir. Me and my friend tripped out when he started glowing like a super saiyan! We were like “YES! ETHNIC POWER!!”

As for The Last Dragon… “WHO IS THE MASTA???”

As for fierce shoryus, I only use them after a short > jab hit confirm or after someone does a jump-in that hit too early. Another time i’ll randomly throw them out if i block a jump-in and see another attack coming, i’ll input a FP DP. Usually it ends up in counter hit… which results in a FADC into a full damage ultra.

^Ive also noticed that I dont really do f.srk unless its a combo ender, when they jump in, or as a punisher (cl.rh . ex.srk)

One thing I know that I need to work on is: jumping. Ive cut it down a lot, but I still think I do it way too much. But the only person who punishes me for it is Dr. Chaos. So Im working on that and my FADC > Ultra on the 1st player side ( facing right )

I KNOW!!! He’s the reason I stopped jumping, too! I get really antsy and want to jump in all the time, but he Shoryu-ed my ass 99% of the time. The only 1% that didn’t get shoryu-ed were my few cross ups I did on his wake up.

Call me a noob, but will this really register as a focus? Seems to me the :mk: gets registered and the :mp: will be used for the normal punch.

if the mk comes out you are going WAYYYYY too slowly. you need to press the punch to start the focus within the first 3 or so frame, so the buttons get pressed at basically the same time… just with mk slightly before mp.

Ok thanks a bunch buddy, I will see how far I can get with it!

everyone knows about the DP input shortcut right?
double tap df and press punch, dp comes out everytime

Hi, i had a question about kara-focus. Should this move really only be used from a great distance, and only on fireball heavy charcters such as sagat and ryu? I feel like the frames on it are alot and when i do it from close up i get smacked.(becuase i dont have enough recover time)

yeah pretty much. You can also use it effectivly against Dhalsim’s limbs.

thanks. sorry for posting it twice lol.

I have another question about kara throwing. if you link the kara throw in a combo, say lk, lp, lp then kara throw, would the throw end up being more frames then most any move. If so what moves would beat it out?

I remember hearing somewhere (I don’t exactly remember where…) that doing a kara-throw in fact does ad in the 3 or so beginning frames of the f+mk. I tend to believe it, because at times I abuse the kara throw way too much and it becomes a habit. I’ll be sparring with my buddy, and be in range for a jab > REGULAR throw, only to “instinctively” input a kara-throw, and I end up getting beaten out by him mashing lk or lp. Though, this might be a cause of me inputting my commands a bit late as well…

Not sure if this has ever been mentioned before so here goes.

You can sometimes Combo j.HK into ultra.

I did it by complete accident in a player match. 18 hit combo ultra. It will not combo 100% of the time though, as I just finished messing around in training and found out.

What you do is just before the kick lands you buffer the ultra command and when the kick lands you press 3p.

Again I have no idea if this have ever been mentioned but I thought I would share my freaky experience with you guys.

EDIT: Apparently this is a bug and it only works against guile. (maybe others but guile is the only character I have done it to) Very strange lol

Disclaimer: This is my first post. I suck and I’m a noob…I’m trying to learn though :wonder:.

Anyways, has anyone else had any issues while trying to do a FADC -> Ultra with the 360 controller where PPP (LB) only comes out as LP+HP? If so, how did you avoid it?

I’ve been trying for days to get the FADC -> Ultra going but every time I think I have the timing right, LP+HP comes out and I get a EX shoryuken instead of my ultra. I can do FADCs -> Ultras with Sagat, so I don’t think it’s that I’m not capable of timing it correctly. Or maybe it is and I just suck :sad:.

Any advice?

P.S. I’ve read most of the threads on FADCs-> Ultras and I tried to search the forums for this problem as well but I couldn’t find anything…I really did try to RTFM first, I swear!

Dr Chaos?!?!

LoL, Max did it first not me. :china:

Hey dr chaos im sending you a friend inv for xbox live. Need to fight some skilled ken players. Hope to play you soon bro.

Hi, everyone i had a question about fa’s. Now i know ken’s fa’s are not that

good, and before i ask this question i hope it doesnt come out stupid. I wanted

to know when would the best time be to use ken fa, and how long should u hold

it. For example, when someone is doing a jumping attack that i know is coming i

try to focus and most of the time i get hit with a 2nd attack, and or grab. WHat

am i doing wrong?
