How the hell is everyone is effortlessly canceling into drive rush

[bulldog0890]

no matter how much i try it NEVER comes out. i'm trying my hardest here to get the forward forward in after a low medium kick with ryu, but it never comes out. meanwhile everyone ever online does this like its no effort at all. what the hell

EDIT: Worth noting, i'm not talking about how to do it on paper, but how to do it in reality on a fight stick. i finding inputting the dash fast enough to cancel stuff can be really hard

cancelling from lows is the hardest cancel for DR. start with a standing normal to get used to it.

thats not answering the question though. how the hell do you do it at all?

from neutral you either hold mp+mk then →→ this will be slower and cost slightly more bar cos of the initial hold time or you →,mp+mk+→ this makes it instant.

to cancel a normal or in a combo you don't need the parry buttons anymore all you do is hit a normal and →→ and youll get drive rush.

think of the →→ just like cancelling a special like cMK, ↓↘→ fireball

you pre buffer it while your doing the normal

so i get all that. i'm looking for a trick to actually physically doing the input. try as i might to slap the stick around its super inconsistant. its pretty easy on right side of the screen cause i can kinda pull my thumb in on the stick twice quickly. but left side is so hard. i have to like...literally slap the stick after taking my fingers off it to have a chance at making it come out

u do it not AFTER the kick, as soon as u press kick tap F F, ur buffering it

[Zoid13]

theres no trick to doing it easier. thats how its done.
Practice.
it doesn't need to be done at lightning speed just needs to be done a tthe right time. your basically just trying dash out of a normal early and that initiates the normal to cancel into Drive Rush

[Zoid13]

its not the easiest mechanic thats been put in a SF game. but you'll get used to its input and itll just become automatic with practice.

double tap forward, I personally dont do it off of low medium kick as it doesn't always come out (I prefer low heavy/ standing heavy punch), but crouching medium could be optimal, idk I just know its iffy.

i found it's way, way, way harder on stick than D-pad

i started with an xbox one controller but when i switched to a PS4 controller it got much easier. it took a lot of attempts on stick, on PS4 D-pad it's effortless

f->f+mp+mk in neutral for DR

c.mk buffer f f. If c.mk hits u DR, if it misses you don't DR.

People with hitbox have an easy time doing it, I don't have any issues when I'm on the right side, but I struggle on the left.

I've never understood how people use sticks. They require larger movements & slow down your input speed.

Had one for about a year now. I regret it sometimes. Its more fun to play with stick but clearly a disadvantage as compared to pad.

[Call Sign: Raven]

A lot of pad players, a lot of keyboard players, and a lot of hitbox players are going to have an advantage when it comes to tapping motions. Fighting on a stick is fun, but tap motions can feel really clumsy unless you practice A LOT.

The following is assuming you are on P1 side:

Generally, when I play stick and need to tap a motion like forward, forward, I physically tap the stick with my index finger, and let the recoil come back to neutral each time. I'm using the part of my index finger that is closest to my palm, if that make any sense. If I need to back, back, I use my thumb the same way, tapping the stick back.

I have no idea what stick you're using, but when I play on my Sanwa, it's doable like that. Cheaper sticks will have less responsiveness, and the type of gate your stick has can make tapping motions easier or harder.
