Super-Fast Kara Demon, WTF?

I’ve been doing this for quite a while now. I try and do a kara demon, but for some reason I *ALWAYS *cancel it early… And I end up not getting the extra range that you’re supposed to.
What am I doing wrong?
:sad:

I’ve never seen a Karademon off of a ticked Foward. looks like the forward knocks him too far for the Instant Kara demon. Try ticking with low short.

Can’t watch the vid as I’m at work.

If you’re using f+mp to kara, you wont cover the range created by them blocking or getting hit by your medium kick.

You have to use the close or cr.HK kara demon to cover that distance.

Like Yung said, try using lk or standing mp before doing the kara demon.

What’s the purpose of doing st.Mk xx KD? That can’t be a combo, and seems to be easy to escape, no?

ic ic.
the f+mp kara should only be used after a ticked lk? can it be ticked with anything else?

Learn how to kara with hk and you can kara many other ticks such as mk. It’s kind of hard on stick though. You have to press ->hk, lk, hp at about the same time to kara effectively. lp, lp, ->hk ,lk, hp. Make sure it’s a very fast sucession with the last three commands.

^koo.
my question is though, even if i use the f+mp kara after a lk tick, my problem is how quickly i do the f+mp. take a look at my video again, and u will barely even see the f+mp come out, and i already cancel it.

It shouldn’t matter how fast your karaing it. I thought the faster the better.

Clonez - sorry for the delay. Just watched your vid, and you’re executing the demon perfectly. Just do it after a st.lk, or a standing mp(you have to be right next to them, and they still need to be crouching for the kara demon to connect i.e. if they walk back a bit you wont get the range)

You can also do it after a crouching lk - you have to hold down HP to avoid any jabs coming out after the lk.

As for what Hell Murder said - if you can master demons with crouching and standing HK - tachi Gigas will be baby poo in comparison…

^for sure. but yo, u say that the only way for the demon to connect is if they’re crouching, i thought it would connect as long as ur next to them…and the only way to escape it was to jump?

They have to be crouching if you use close mp as your tick owing to how much it pushes them away.

You wont have this problem with standing or crouching lk.

^arite. sounds good.
thanks

question regarding the lk tick, when i hold HP first would’nt it be ovious since ill be whiffing it first then doing the lk tick? are they any ways to hide the HP or the LP(when im doing KD)?

Seems like that kara is a little TOO fast… lol. You’re doing it fine, but use the f.mp kara in a different situation (like everyone else said). Wake ups of your opponent are usually pretty good if you’re just feeling risky/lucky/Umehara-ish.

that really depends on the situation, there a millions of ways to hide the fp. for example, if you knock them down with a hurricane(or any move for that matter), you could hide the fp in that animation then hit them with the lk tick on wakeup. you just need to be planning for the demon ahead of time

You can also tick with scl. mp and buffer the RD by walking up and then doing f+mp.

ie)
mp tick, wait a little bit lp,lp walk a little f+mp, lk, hp

thanks…another question is what really is the difference between a KD using forward mp and a standing roundhouse?

Standing/crouching roundhouse KD’s get more range, are tickable off of more things and look a lot funnier. I know there’s something else I’m forgetting lol.

is either one easier than the other?

rh kara demon gives more range. harder to pull off though.
