Palm strikes during Genei Jin

I understand that this has been said before, how it doesn’t matter which palm strikes you do doing Genei Jin, but I wanted to ask you guys… Are you guys absolutely sure? :sweat:

Ok, I’m practicing in training mode against Chun. 123 activate, s. mp, f. hp, hop kick, hop kick, palm, now when I was doing mp palm, it would miss after a few attempts. Then when I tried lp palm, it was working.

Then, when practicing against Urien, I would do 123 activate, s. mp, f. hp, hop kick, walk a little, s. mp, palm. Now that I was doing LP palm, it wasn’t hitting. Then I went to mp, and I was able to hit it.

I dunno. Maybe this is all just in my head. Sorry for the trouble.

Sounds like in-consistent timing on your execution.

You asked this already in the geneijin thread and I answered it for you:annoy:

Hey

Yeah, maybe. I’ll admit that sometimes I tend to rush the commands and end up not gettin what I want or don’t get anything at all.

Oops! You’re right, I just saw it. :rofl: Sorry about that.

Though as far as what you suggested (qcb+short~ jab), is it just a different type of kara palm or is it used for something else?

you can try to maybe keep an eye on how high your target bounces after the hopp kicks. if you see that he/she is falling to fast, then you need to do something else then the palm.

I’m guessing the palm is wiffing because of range. The qcb short~jab gives Yun a short step forward before the palm.
