Question for players who use the gamepad

How do you practice directional movements like full circle or half-circle rotations on your d-pad? It just seems like whenever I try to do it, I end up jumping.

(EDIT)
And for USF4 specifically, I’m trying to do the trials for Balrog, and I’m having a hard to doing the Dash Low Straight. I check my input display and it seems to be right (hold back, then down-right + punch), but for some reason what comes out is an overhead attack. Any tips?

  1. practicing execution on a pad follows the same rules as practicing on a stick. Read this: http://forums.shoryuken.com/

  2. let go of the button sooner. Holding it will give the overhead. If you have questions about a character’s moves, the wiki usually has a lot of info. http://wiki.shoryuken.com/Ultra_Street_Fighter_IV/Balrog
