Need tactice advice for lightweight combo for Akira

I am having some great difficulty performing the following combo: yoho, _6p, _6k, dblplm against lightweights. I don't know what I need to do. I use the buffering method. When I do the combo yoho, p, shldr, dblplm it connects with my buffering method. Is there anything I need to know about this? Any advice would be greatly apreciated.

 

You need to execute your moves as fast as possible. After you -> , you need to hold , tap to clear the buffer, and then press . Finally, enter the right away.

The tap buffer clear allows you to put and as close together as possible. Tap guarantees you don't accidentally get a . The sooner your comes out, the higher the opponent is floating, giving you the most time to execute and still get the last hit.

You can do it without the tap . It requires very strict timing.

 

The only other advice I could offer from what Plague has posted is to try modifying the dbpm in an alternate way:



(from P1 side).

I always use this way of modding dbpms as I find it far faster (and more consistent) than using a forward CD motion. (If you check the evo disc replays, Ohsu uses this method as well).

In fact I also use to mod his shrm as well, tho when doing a sgpm I prefer CDing forward.

Pretty much as Plague said, straight after the yoho float, I hold , do a guard cancelled straight into and mod the dbpm fast.

 

well.. i found this immesnsely difficult - so i cheated.

use the wall to help the float /versus/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

 

I know about pressing g after the p, but are you saying that I also need to enter g after the k as well? Oh and LM thank you for that advice. I actually used to buffer that way when I started playing, but I heard that doing it from forward was better and so I started doing it that way. Well thank you guys for the advice, I will now go and try this and post the results.

 

Well the command I was talking about is really not (it feels like you're shaking the stick) but in general there's no "better" way of moding a crouched move, it's down to what you prefer or are more comfortable with.

I'd personally say using a forward CD is more awkward (I used to do it that way) seen as tho you need to go thru neutral more often (and more accurately) than you do with a motion.

Each to his own anyway.

 

Well I attempted to do it, but to no avail. I am still having trouble doing the combo. And as for , it's a bit different, but it did seem like it worked. I guess I will have to spend more time on training practicing the combo until I master it.

Oh and by the way I checked some of the vids and yeah Ohsu uses this technique. I was surprised as to how good he can perform with this technique.

 

One way to practice this way of moding a move is to go into free training and just dbpm over and over... do it until you can m-dbpm straight from an m-dbpm with barely any crouching animation at all.

Then practice stuff like

stpm > p > dbpm

yoho > pk > dbpm

yoho > p > shrm > dbpm

etc

over and over until you're really comfortable with the motion, then finally work your way to

yoho > p > k > dbpm

using the tips people have suggested above.
