thanx man really
ok lets take Kens (or any shoto) link from crouching :lp: to crounching :hp: on a stick if your just trying the lp to hp by timing alone it can become quite bothersome. HOWEVER by using the plink method you can increase your success rate infinitely.
I am saying tap, wait tap in my head trying to figure out how to explain it better lol. The inputs would be like such :lp: -> :hp::mp:. Now the hp and mp would be really close together but not exact same time. just go into training mode and try it out both ways and you will see what im talking about. The same applies for say crouching :lp: to crouching :mp:. Be carefull here if you do the :lp: then do the :mp::lp: to fast you will get another jab, so just do your crouching lp take a split second, hit crouching mp followed by lp almost immediately. After that you just perform the rest of your combo weather it be plinking more finishing with a special move
I was in a similar situation to you, I have always been a pad player until about 5 months ago. I just started really using the plink method and cant believe how much better it has made my execution
In my head it sounded much better but I hope that helps
this is some good info i will definitely try this
I’m still struggling with plinking. I dunno why. I can’t do it 100% consistently like I can kara throws…
Like wise, I Need to practice more
I found my camera and was bored, so I made the video people have been asking for. You’ll see, it just looks like hitting two buttons at the same time, can hear that it’s not, though.

Thanks a lot dude, that really helped me.
I thought it needed to be more… ehh… ‘seperate’, but this makes it very clear to me.
Thanks again.
Hmm, I need tips for doing the RH loop with Akuma. I just can’t seem to find a good way to do it…
Plink LP~HK for the LP and HK~LP for the HK (also watch [media=youtube]Ko1dnA-wPB8[/media]).
Thanks man!
Gotta go and practice that then.
you just need to get the jab > roundhouse link down. i plink it with hk~mk.
roundhouse to standing jab is a very lenient link, just focus on getting the rhythm for the jab to roundhouse part.

I wish I had Japanese blood in me.
i am trying to learn plinking with viper. if i JUST do the plinking, it works nearly every time and mp comes out. no problems there.
however, if i try it in her combo - cr. lk > st. lk > plinked cr. mp (with lp)…
according to the description above, my input display says i’m doing it correctly, but in actuality, a cr. lp keeps coming out instead.
can anyone tell me what i’m doing wrong? is viper’s combo a special exception to the rule? is my timing close enough to fool the input display, but not the input itself? thanks in advance.
You’re pressing the buttons too quickly so a chained c.lp comes out. Remember, “plinking” is short for “priority linking”. If several moves are possible, the one with the highest priority will get executed (plinking is a form of option selection). Mp has higher priority than lp, but chaining lp has higher priority of mp. So if you press multiple buttons during the chain window, the chain with the highest priority will get executed. If a chain is not possible, the normal with the highest priority takes precedence.
To remedy your problem, slow down your inputs.
hm… never knew a chained light had more priority than an unchained medium. thanks for the advice.
Saying chained jab has greater priority than unchained strong isn’t really true. The reason jab comes out is because strong can not come out during this window. Strong has greater priority than jab.
Yeah you’re right. The jab is still active so the only possible move is a cancel, and a chain is a cancel.
I’m having an issue when I plink, for example when I’m trying a cr.jab into a medium kick on the input display it shows I properly plinked it but the moves don’t combo. Is there something I’m doing wrong?
you’re hitting it too late if it isn’t comboing
