**Updated 5/17** ONE thread about performing and application of the RSF/Punch Loop

I’ve been practising the c.MK loop and I can do 4 hits on Ryu.

Any of you sick mofo’s been able to hit 5 (without counter-hit)?

almost actually,seems to be possible though most def! i will keep trying to get it… but with the low fwd loop i just hit as many as i can… but i dont have a consistant 3 hits even when i sometimes get 4…its strange,i know haha? so do you think you could post an easy way to execute it consistantly?

Rufus has one, you can do it easier if you wait a bit to hit fierce.

Run stop low forward I think is kinda vital to get down. I use it more than RSF in most matches tbh.

So I finally performed RSF in a competitive match yesterday and it felt so damn good with the crowd cheering for it.

My question is, what is stopping me from getting the higher reps? 3-4 hits is pretty easy, but past 5 seems really difficult. Do I have to change the rhythm or something?

Its definitley different on the arcade. I can do way more hits confidently for sure.

As for c.mk loop, I can’t get past 3 hits, I end up doing a gordita sobat.

It has its own rhythm and you need to have super fast hands.
It’s like:
:d::mk::df::r::mp: (ideally in 3 frames), wait x frames, :d::lp:, wait 3 frames, repeat
Maximize the waiting time between each c.MK to maximize the amount you can combo. I think 4 hits is the max. You can intentionally wait longer between each c.MK to pressure someone with an infinite c.MK barrage. You will get DP’ed though.

yeah i do it a bit different (i hold db and only use cr.fwd,jab to run,jab to stop…repeat) but have a consistant 3-4 hits . but it seems like (same with RSF) i keep getting drawn back on 3rd or 4th hit… dunno? it makes sense what your saying,it does have its own timing…i never really payed attention in that way but im gonna try to wait longer to execute the 4th to get it more consistant…why would you say that 4 is max?just wondering… maybe i was making the loop harder than i should be? haha

If you are combo’ing 3 hits consistently, your execution is top-notch. After I land the 4th hit I am already at absolute maximum range for c.mk, so I assume 5 hits is impossible.
Anyway, it’s better to combo 1 less hit than to mess up the combo and eat a DP xx Ultra. I like c.mk xx run stop throw or run stop bait, rsf.

Run mk is definitely way way faster than run fierce, but its still not too hard if you just start using it in matches and dont mind eating some dp’s at first till you get it down.

Dawgtanian you’re sure it’s different in the arcade for you? Kai actually has said the same thing I believe, that’s strange though. Granted I’ve only played this game on a cabinet once, but it seemed the same to me, though admittedly I don’t go for more than 5 in real matches ever so maybe I didn’t notice.

could we get a video of this RSM please? thx in advance.
imma go try tonight

quick response! thanks

I’m certain its different on the arcade version. Much easier to perform.

I’ve been dying to post a video of the rsc.mk loop for a good few months now but I dont have a decent video capture device. Thanks for posting that one Brainz.

This one is definitely easier to catch people out with and if you are good enough to use it in matches, you can really terrify the opposition.

just thought this should be tossed her and added to the front page post

so… fellow fuertes… i SUCK at rsf. if i recorded my hands and gameplay then posted it on youtube, do you think that you would be able to make any kind of suggestions? i really wanna get this down. i’m getting better and better but feel that i need rsf do use as big dmg combo

So far i noticed fuerte has 3 different loop combos RSF, RSLF , & RS…SS(standing strong) lol… i figure why not loop it to mix it up …i can loop 2-3 but that may be the max ? the timing is more strict than the low fwd loop…but i have caught ppl off guard with it as a high,low mixup so if anyone else is willing (or has already done some…) experiments with it then lets share… =)

oh and by the way i the 3rd was off a counter hit… im trying to see if its possible without though…2 is of course. =)

Any updates on people using regular controllers? What number are you getting consistent?

I’ve been practicing RSF, for months… training it every friggin time I put the disc in. So far, all I’ve gathered is a 95% 2hit-slide on bigger characters, with a max of 4-5 on flukes.

I’m starting to think I’ve hit a wall. Mainly, canceling the s.HP fast enough. By sliding my thumb, I can cancel stupid fast, but the frames it takes my thumb to reset to LP make it so I never have enough time to run back into position (even if I get a meaty 2nd hit). For s’s and g’s, I held it with my fingers to tap out the rhythm and got 4-hits on the first try.

Wish I weren’t so broke T__T.

Whats the point of doing the c.mk loop ?

Hits low. Counter-hits into RSF.
Better speed and range = hits in situations where cl.HP won’t = better mobility = better mix-ups.
