He’s right. If you’re not 100% sure with finishing the RSF, just use fierce, run, slide, or even mix it up with a jabx2/3, then run back. I’ve eaten a lot of reversals and Ultras against people mainly due to them mashing them everytime I start a combo on them because I perform the RSf too slow. However, it works to our advantage because it makes people use those moves and leave themselves open to another punish. El Fuerte is all about punishing. Yes, the RSF is a very good punish, but if you can’t do it, depend on other safer punishes.
You guys are absolutely right about mixing it up after a certain amount of hits. I still get too eager to continue the RSF and usually get dp’d out of it after about 5 hits or so. I guess I just wanted to up the count of hits on RSF because it’s just plain badass when you get higher and higher. It’s still the probably the most satisfying combo to me in this game.
Wow I can finally do 2 hits, never thought I’d see the day…need 3 to do the trial sadly!
wow after practicing since like march I’ve finally been able to do a 10 hit RSF against C.Viper This was in training of course since i was practicing it but my old record was pretty much 6 and 7 in training mode, I also think C.Viper has to be one of the easiest chars to RSF
I have to say RSF has really helped me out alot with el fuerte if I ever get some one into a crumple or am lucky enough to get a cross up fierce I can usually end up hurting them for around 300+ dmg just from RSF alone.
I have to say though the only thing that is sad about RSF is I rarely get much of a chance to use it. I’ve been practicing with the focus attacks lately trying to bait people into doing something stupid so that I can actually nail them. But yeah most of my games online end up with me never using it.
any way to a question I’ve had: For the Run stop C.Mk loop what kind of presses do you guys use on your stick?
do you do QCF light punch > light punch > C.Mk?
or QCF Mpunch > light punch > C.mK ?
been trying to figure out what would be the best way to do it.
I personally run with lp for all of fuerte’s loops, and generally when i run i use lp. Occasionally i will use mp, but not in a run stop loop. Some people swear by using mp in the loop though, its just a matter of what you feel more comfortable with,
I spent 4 hours on Fuertes #24 Trial with Hp,QCF+Hp,lp ~Hp and couldn’t get more than 2 hits is there an easier way to do this?
(I really need to know cause it’s the last trial in the game for me and It’s killing me sigh*)
I do HP QCF lp lp ~Hp I found it easier that way but yeah it took me a good 2 weeks to just get2 hits all I can see is practice practice practice if you do it for like an hour a day you slowly notice yourself to get better at it.
Gotta keep working that muscle memory =)
Thanks for the tip I tried run stop with Lp and Got the trial done!
I’ve been working on RSF for several hours a week for a month or so and am up to 3 with a slide probably 25% of the time. I can do 2 to slide around 80% of the time. I guess you just have to keep at it. I land 2 to slide occasionally in matches, but you can be pretty certain if you screw up your opponent is performing (mashing) about 10 dp’s for every fierce you land. I like to hit lk instead of lp occasionally and then start over when they land again, heh heh.
I’mma make a tutorial on RSF with hands and commentary, because I know alot of people still have a difficult time getting it consecutively
Ive somehow become WORSE with this since supers release. When it first dropped, i was getting 6-10 consistently, and now im lucky if i get 4-5. Fucked if i know what im doing wrong.
I’ve been getting 2 hits and then either far fierce or the grab comes out…anyone have the same problem?
Grab and far fierce? I usually get far fierce on the third, but not a grab. Then again, you’re probably smashing your palm down on lk if you’re using a stick. I don’t have that problem with the pad. Only problem I have is that it’s a pad with an awkward position of making sure the index finger on the R1 stays in sync with the right thumb of the same hand on the lp. Muscle-wise, that isn’t easy.
I used to have this problem. It’s because you’re canceling the run too soon (far fierce), or you’re hitting hp and lp at the same time (grab, if you hit 2 buttons of different strengths at the same time the stronger one will always come out). When I really got serious about practicing I corrected this pretty quick. Really the only way I mess it up now is I do the hp too late and it gets blocked. You really have to practice over and over and over. Watching the youtube video with the sound really helped me rhythm-wise.
i had the same problem when i first played super.
just do some practice-mode sessions only doing the rsf. you will get you consistency back again 
watch your run stop closely, you can see it out if you hit to early or to late.
other then that, it just feels different then in vanilla.
RSF is noticeably easier in SSF4. The range on cl. fierce was extended, so you can do more before you get pushed back. Like aerosoljunkie said, there’s definitely a timing adjustment. The best advice I can give to anyone trying to make the transition is to just slow down, but make sure that your stop > fierce is still quick. I get 6 - 7 consistently in tournament now, something I could never do in vanilla.
I played super offline for the first time in a while. JESUS RSF is so much easier, was able to hit 10 or 11 in a match and was hitting 5-7 easy. Yays!
I’ve learned that RSFing the car in Arcade mode is a total fail. lol
doing RS~mp on the other hand, on car mode is hilarious and works really well 
looks like i started a new trend with my 11 hit rsf video 
although that guys video doesnt really count. stun inbetween!
i like dawgtanians 14 hit more
