Stuck on Drive Gauge Tutorial

[Pie Eater 9000]

I'm at the part of the tutorial where it says this:
"If Luke uses a crouching medium punch during a Drive Rush from a specific distance, it will travel farther, and can connect into Triple Impact."

Can I have some tips on pulling this off? I'm able to set up Drive Rush by holding the medium punch and medium kick buttons, and dashing twice, but I'm unsure of the inputs after that. When I try to do a punch while running to the opponent, Luke stands up and throws an overhead punch.

You're probably holding forward, which causes him up to do his overhead. As soon as you dash return the stick to neutral to do triple impact.

I see. So, after I start dashing and get up to the opponent, I should just press the standard buttons for the move (light, medium, then heavy punch), right?

Exactly. A character who has command normals needs to have specific stick movements. Holding forward or a different direction can cause you to let off a move you don't wanna use at the moment.

Example, I play Gief and he has a really good command normal in F+MK which moves him forward. But sometimes I just wanna poke with MK. If I'm still holding forward when I try to poke, I'll move forward when I don't want to.

Thanks for your response. I managed to try that out and record a clip; can you see what I did wrong here? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDS9lM4bh7w

You have to do the crouching medium punch, sorry I misunderstood. You have to drive rush, cr. MP, then combo it into triple impact.

[C.C.]

the wording is bad. gonestly i dont care. either way drive parry drive rush makes your first normal plus four more than it was. so you can get different links now

[C.C.]

if you cancel off a normal with drive rush same thing
but you are running your drive gauge

[C.C.]

drive parry costs 1/2 drive rush counts two

Hmm, I tried to do those steps, but it still doesn't seem to be working. I'm probably getting close, though...can you check this one?

You're delaying too much after the cr.MK.

HOLD the drive button. then hit forward forward.

It took me a while too but managed to do it eventually. After your medium punch connects after dashing, you have to start the combo with the light punch neither too early nor too late :)

Thanks. I'm actually inputting the buttons earlier -- there's a delay between pressing and some of the moves being done. It's like I'm not timing it correctly so it's not flowing into a combo.

I'll look into varying some of the timings.

Is there a specific part of the animation where I should be hitting the light punch button? Should he still be colored green when I press it?

[Pie Eater 9000]

Okay, I suddenly managed to do it. I just kept on pressing the button combinations and I eventually got it to work. I'm not really sure how, though...does anyone have any video recommendations for this?
