Dragon Punch Combo Timing

I never really noticed a difference. I just thought I needed adjusting to the inferior stick. I set the CPU on Command List training to demo it for me. With displays on. At least this way I couldn't detect any difference in the timing of the beep that it makes. I looked at the timing display and the number are identical.

 

Hey Myke, grats on getting the 360 /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif Tried online yet? (I know we two cant fight though :S)

Also, EX2 is really not quite the same class as VSHG, but I havent noticed differences in buttonpresses so far. If anything, I find Akiras knee easier on EX2 than VSHG because of button layout.
Im gonna test DPoD soon.

 

Is the lag too bad against Japan players? I noticed several online right now..

ps. sorry for the offtopic..

pps. VSHG buttons are the most sensitive I have ever played with.

 

Oh that's right they have the game now. I'd love to see some of them busting out moves.

I too have noticed the Hori EX2 to have a little more travel time before activation than I would like. I miss the old T5 anvi hori stick. *sigh*

 

I am also experiencing the exact same problem.
thought I was imagining things, but apparently not /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

 

ive now tried the DPoD but i cant say that the timing has changed. (I was never proficient with DPoD cause I dont play Kage much)

 

I have an insane amount of trouble doing that move at all. I can do it in the Dojo occasionally but I have never done it in actual combat. Is there any trick to this move? I've turned on the button input displays and I've notice that sometimes I've gotten the button presses down to the exact frames as before when I succeeded and failed. I'm guessing it was because I didn't launch the starting uppercut at the same distance. I currently have no strategy as to pull this off with any consistency.

 

No trick at all, just practice it constantly. Also learn when it's guaranteed.

 

My timing must be really off on this move cause I'm able to pull it off a lot during online matches even the laggy ones

 

It's easier to pull-off when there is lag.

 

Well I was in the Dojo with Kage yesterday and through trail and error found roughly the amount of frames between each hit in pretty much any situation, anywhere from 8 to 13 (I've gotten away with more or less on occasion but not consistently enough) My problem mostly seems to be with that last hit. I tend to get carried a way and press far too rapidly at the end.

 

You got to do the Knee practice one with the ninjas jumping on the screen!

 

Finally Myke!! /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif I think I asked you about that sometime last year. Thanks man! /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif

 

lol I remember when that flash game was first put on the site, seems such a long time ago.

Myke, as you've obviously already figured out by now, you found the DPoD timing different between the PS3 and EX2 sticks due to different button sensitivity.

The VSHG comes fitted with Sanwa buttons and stick as standard. Sanwa buttons are especially sensitive to pressure, the merest flick at the side of them can register an input (ideal for Akira's knee of course). On the other hand, the EX2 has stock Hori buttons which are made from a slightly harder plastic I think and are certainly nowhere near as sensitive as Sanwas. Their edges are also not as concave as Sanwas I believe.

As a rule of thumb, I now install Sanwa buttons on every stick I have so I never come across this kind of problem. Putting Sanwas into an EX2 is a bit of a pain tho, since the Hori buttons are already soldered into place on the board (means you'd ideally need to wire the new Sanwa buttons individually to the pcb, as well as possibly widen the holes).

Anyhow, it's all good now since you've already figured out your timing!
