Is there some kind of trick to this? I can combo into super from hard and medium attacks fairly well (I just do the normal attack and then quickly follow up w/ the super motion) but I can never pull this off. I always hear people talking about “short, short, super” like it’s this easy, standard combo. Do you just have to input the super motion really fast after the second short? This seems really tough to do consistently without messing up (compared to, for example, shoto mk into super.) Do most people do something like c. lk, qcf, d. lk, qcf + hp? Hm, I never really liked comboing into super that way, it always seemed more consistent to just do the normal and then quickly do the super.
So, does anyone have any tips on doing short, short, super? Thanx:)
Practice! Short3x super. Nothing fancy just walk up to the dummy in training mode and do it for both sides. When you can do it 100 times in a row from both sides then you have learned the move… until then practice…
(personal pep talk)
I Can Do Short 3x Super! (with ken no promises with other characters like Cammy yet)
You have to use “two-in-one” timing anytime you want to cancel something into a super. To learn the timing on canceling rapid fire shorts into on another, set the K-groove dummy to “all just defend” and do low shorts on him without mashing.
Once you want to do short, short xx super, the timing goes something like [1…2…3]. Three shorts into super is [1…2…3…4]. You need to press the button to activate the super about twice as quickly as you would to chain your shorts.
If you’re playing Sagat, then his low shorts are links. You have to press your low shorts at a slightly slower pace then. Press one low short, then pretend you’re doing d.MK xx super with the second short. You have to cancel into super a little quicker that’s all.
Hold down the last attack button to avoid negative edge if you’re using Cammy, Hibiki, or if you’re going for Sagat short, short xx tiger genocide instead.
Another thing alot of people say is easier is to do two crouching shorts into one standing short that way your not holding down before you have to input the motion so you can put it in faster.
Same for his funky kick combos. I mean that’s not what I do but alot of people tell me it helps them a bunch.
