don’t want a vid but was c.lp landing too? cuz I was stupid and didn’t check for c.lk since I usually go c.lp or bust for range since its usually not an issue…lol.
don’t have time to check stuff much with job, finals, dates, and looking for a summer job o.O
The c.LP is not as reliable although it is possible to hit with it even on the small characters. You can get the LP if you start the HK at the very last second. On the larger characters the c.LP and c.MP have close to no issue thanks to the large hit box. I have also noticed if you start you FA too far out it is harder to hit with this. It is all about spacing.
Although going through the damage using a c.LP or c.LK is roughly the same as HP > BnB. It is only better if you can land the c.MP or c.MK. Smaller characters it may be better to do only do it off a lvl 3 or in a corner.
It’s understandable. I only have time these recent weeks since I took a few weeks off after a brutal finals week. I have to start summer classes again soon though. sigh Oh well only one more year and I’ll have my bachelors.
Thanks for the advice Sol, just wanted to clear that up before I start grinding away on it in training mode!
im having trouble connecting a shoryuken after a light hurricane kick
any tips
Mashhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
pretend its all caps
I do the same as when I’m wakeup teleporting, hammer the motion over and over again while mashing HP, almost guaranteed to get it out.
Unfortunately my overly aggressive motions have knackered my left shoulder and it starts hurting after about half an hour of SFIV… I think I could do with taking a break or changing my technique…
Ok I am bored since I can’t play online and my local scene has been a little quite as of late, is there any combos people want a video of? I’ll demonstrate anything you guys want and even break it down.
^^ make a 60 hit combo against gief. 
lol. DO IT NAO!! All you have to do is do links up to what…32 hits? And on the 32nd hit it knocks them into stun. And then you focus and demon. So now… make vid…CHOP CHOP!!
LOL. Start with you in one corner and then sHK -> sLP -> sHK -> sLP <loop> all the way across the screen?
ROFL…sol is going to regret offering making a video for us.
Psh. Child’s play. 
I think the loop is the only thing I can’t do. I can only get somewhere around 7 or 8 hits. Going from HK to LP is the easy part, but the LP to HK is a pain to keep going.
Do a few combos like them ones you were talkin’ bout on youtube
Maybe a couple of mixups, demon flip setups, raging demon traps, things like that would be cool as well.
That depends, which one was I talking about youtube. I talk about a lot of combos on there. 
okay… well… if you can’t do that one *tear … then lets go for a semi-combo that does most of the opponents health …lol.
lvl 3 focus (lvl 2 works as well but its a combo video so you can steal the little extra damage u’ll probably never get in a real match…lol.
so anyway (perform it on ryu with 1000 stun):
lvl 3 focus, c.hp, lk tatsu, hp, mk demon flip, c.hp, lk tatsu, lp SRK
DIZZY … j.HK, HP, FB FADC HP, FB FADC HP, lk tatsu, HP SRK.
again… its only a "semi"combo because the cross-up demon flip is obviously not guaranteed. So its 2 combo chains put together. Its kinda like MvC2 type combos or makoto “combos” where its not a combo as much as two or three combos put together simply by the opponent guessing how to counter it wrong (or in this case by simply standing still. And I just did it a few times in a row to check the “difficulty” for ya and its fine… no loops 
this next semi-combo for you to do is against seth at 750 stun. OHH… and it kills seth in just this “semi"combo” and very easily
J.HK (or any other starting high damage attack such as focus lvl 2/3 or j.HP etc)
so…:
J.HK, HP, lk tatsu, HP, mk demon flip, c.hp
DIZZY … j.HK, HP, lk tatsu, HP SRK FADC SHANKU.
@^^ this semi-combo works great and the HP SRK fadc instead of lp is because if you even have about 10 damage already on seth before starting this semi combo the HP SRK alone will kill him. which would save you 2 bars of EX for the next round and also mean the semi-combo wouldn’t require any meter…lol. (this semi-combo also works fine at other lvls of seth’s stun gauge than lvl 1). I got a message after doing this semi-combo kill twice in the same match saying “uhh… fuck you…” LOL.
And to randomly mention in case anyone is wondering… I use j.hk after stuns because while combo count wise a focus only counts as one hit… combo DAMAGE wise it scales as if it was 2 hits. So the only point in using focus for combos is as a nice way to start them (generally off a lvl 2 focus).
Your 3rd assignment is to record these ACTUAL combos against seth and akuma respectively:
j.HK, HP, FB FADC HP, EX TATSU
DIZZY … j.HK, HP, EX TATSU, HP SRK (ppsss… around 600 damage :smokin:)
and this one is GODLY as it will corner the opponent from over half-way across the screen o.O lol. I have higher combo count ones but this one is great for damage and what not.
j.HK, HP, FB FADC HP, lk tatsu, lp SRK FADC Shaku
DIZZY … j.HK, HP EX tatsu, HP SRK (almost as much damage as the last one)
also some random help on the tatsu cornering… if you want to corner them BEHIND you… switch the HP right before the tatsu for a c.hp.
and no “I don’t play on a stick excuse!!!” Cuz im using an xbox controller so if I can do it on this anyone can do it on anything…lol. And I have a lot of other long ass combos relying on stun that I know but I’m not gonna bother to post all of them up for you to try and record…lol… especially since a lot of them are character specific. I have everything from high damage to high combo count and even special easy hit-confirmable huge stun combos. I’ll start you off with those though :china:
I’d do the crap work myself but I have no time and I don’t have the stuff to do it…lol. But do know that if I tell you a combo… it WORKs… cuz I’ve done it many times including in matches. so there should be no worries of not working
omg HERO.
dood, this is such a sweet piece of advice. tx!
Sounds interesting. I’ll have to give them a shot.
And don’t worry, I got a stick. I could also work with a pad as well if I needed to since I have only had my stick for a few weeks now.
btw… if you think that a full kill on seth from a semi-combo is funny… try doing a full kill off a c.lk on him … LOL. You’ll laugh. He seriously has NO fuckin health…
ahh fuck I’ll jsut post the funny c.lk kill so you can do it too…
c.lk, c.lp, HP, lk tatsu, HP, mk demon flip, c.hp
DIZZY … j.hk, HP, lk tatsu, lp SRK FADC Shaku.
Now THAT one is funny cuz all it takes to kill seth is forgetting to block low after you demon flip in on him or something and you get a kill chance. Also much more useable in a match since seth is always running around…lol. But I still got love for the focus ones too cuz you get a surprising amount of focus attempts on ppl…
No kidding, I have landed a combo like j.HK > HK > HP > EX.Tatsu > HP. SRK and followed it up with another heavy combo to only leave chip damage. And seriously if he gets hit with a single reset he is almost guaranteed to be stunned. I know they wanted to balance Seth considering all of his options, but man did the playable Seth get nailed with the nerf bat from his boss counterpart. And amazingly Seth is still a good character.
Im Unclegus on there, was chatting to you on the Sagat jHK crossup video. I’d like to see a jHK, HK, clHP, lk tatsu, fp shoryuken…
And more stuff like that!
Basically most of the akuma combo vids on youtube showcase flashy combos which aren’t that damaging or practical. You could make one which is actually useful.
Ah ok I remember now. I happen to have a video of it on hand already. A slightly different variation ending with a FADC > Redball instead of just a HP.SRK, but the core of the combo is still there. The HK > HP link is one of my more favorite to do against larger targets, especially Sagat.
I had been thinking of doing a whole video of practical combos. Most combo videos are nice to watch, but I do think there needs to be a video for people to actually learn good combos to use in a match.
I’ll upload the video and edit this post when it is up.
Edit: Video is up
