Question on executing supers

umm how do you guys execute yours for example Ken:

do you buffer the 1st qcf with the c.mk then follow up with a qcf+k

or

c.mk then follow up with a 2qcf ??

Either is fine, really.

It just depends on how fast you can react. A lot of people will say that buffering the first qcf with cr.MK will make it easier for you to hitconfirm, though.

Yeah but depends on the super in question, what normals are cancelable and what the character’s specials are. With Ryu, you can try to do qcf with cr.MK, then qcf punch to hit-confirm the cr.MK into his super, but you won’t be able to do it with punches since you’ll get a Hadouken. Same thing with Yang, only with kicks. If you try to hit-confirm a cr.MK into Tenshin Senkyutai, you’ll get his Senkyutai special.

I think it depends on the normals and specials in question, I tend to use both methods you described as well as 540s.

when i play hugo i spin the joystick as hard as i can and mash on the punches… usually it comes out and i win

I tried doing what you said but I can’t seem to win, I’m mashing all the punches but I still lose, what am I doing wrong?

That only happens because of Negative Edge, hold down the button used to confirm so the special move won’t come out.
