Anyone else having “huge” problems adjusting to special moves in BB? SF4’s way of “shorthand” specials is beaten into my head. Even after 400 games of BB, I still keep trying to :df::d::df: instead of :dp:. Even :hcf: moves tend to want precise accuracy that I just can’t get used to doing.
It’s getting to the point it is really starting to effect my game. I can get people in Litchi’s corner trap only to slap my staff down trying to Tsubame. Not once, but a few times a match. Doesn’t help that I hadn’t used an arcade stick till SF4. Any suggestions?
Seriously, I feel your pain. After many, many hours of playing SFIV as my first really serious fighter, my inputs were so damn sloppy. Its really just practice. It helps that I always tried to avoid the shortcuts in SFIV I suppose…
SF4 is like the only game I know of with inputs that sloppy, you’ll need to learn to do them the right way if you want to play other fighting games.
When I got my stick about a month ago I knew this would be a problem so instead of practicing on sf4 I played a ton of Battle Fantasia instead. It’s funny because now when I go back to play SF4 a lot of the moves/combos that used to give me trouble seem braindead easy.
Just spend time in training mode, and dp obsessively. I never switched to the SFIV motion for the very reason that no other game I know of does this, so it would have been terrible on my execution.
The 632146 motion is rather precise in that you must get the last 4 to come out or else it’s a wasted motion. Again, training mode practice.
