I don't understand this tutorial

[StrafeY]

Let me start off with the fact I have never played a street fighter game in my life.

Now, the tutorial is teaching me about the super arts right now, and I don't understand what it is asking me to do AT ALL, like I get it, but I've been here 30 minutes and it is doing NOTHING. I thought initially I was doing it wrong, or inaccurately, but this is the beginner tutorial and it's asking me to perform like 8 buttons in the span of a second.

Any help is appreciated, I don't know what I'm doing LOL

If you managed to throw a sand blast then this is just that motion twice before pressing punch. The time to buffer all the motions is actually quite generous (way more than a second) but it will take time to learn it into muscle memory and to do it cleanly.

I don't even know how I did it in the first place, I did it first go by sheer luck, I have been trying to do it again and it isn't happening loool

So I just achieved it, HOWEVER, it was a completely different set of keys than what I was trying???? I did it by accident, so I don't even know what it was I had done in the first place.

I was trying the combo shown on screen, and then I tabbed out to reply, tried some random combo and it activated (and by random combo I mean I literally pressed A and X a couple times)

Alright, perhaps you can explain this to me, because I am not understanding.

I do the movement ONCE (as you see the arrows repeat once so it makes up 6 inputs), instead I do it once (skip the repeat) and it performs the actions? I'm so confused

First off, don’t worry, at some point everyone had to wrap their minds around executing these inputs.

It depends on what you’re playing on (keyboard, arcade stick, or controller), but generally you want to imagine executing a hadouken motion. It Luke’s case that would be the sand blast attack which is ⬇ ↘ ➡ + Punch.

If you imagine the action as Down, Down Forward, Forward + Punch, you’re moving either your thumb or hand in a quarter circle motion starting from down. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/ff/Four_quarters_circle.svg/1200px-Four_quarters_circle.svg.png

If you first break it down this way by doing the hadouken / sand blast motion first, the next is slowly doing that motion twice instead of once.

So practice doing the Down, Down Forward, Forward motion twice behind each other without doing punch. It’s okay if it’s slow, you’ll want to just build repetition on this until you get a feel of inputting the motion consistently.

Once you have the speed built up, inputting the punch after the two motions will give you the super.


Edit: My mobile cconnection is a bit laggy, but essentially, you want to do the movement portion twice instead of once.

Thanks for your response. I managed to do it, because I was individually pressing the stick in those directions, instead of carrying on the motion

The move is simply 2 quarter circle forwards and a punch. So if you are on a controller. run your thumb from the Down button to the Right button in a fluid counter clock wise motion fast; do that twice followed by a punch. This motion should be fast as you need it to link

[Danemous]

its basically just rolling your thumb from down to forward....also, if you are using the thumbstick, try the dpad. Its generally considered much better

What lol why would you even try that

Awesome to hear!

[Archiduque Motoko]

Oh yeah I remember when I was little people were confused if they had to press each key in sequence for a special move they didn't know you have to roll the inputs.

Because as stated, I have never played street fighter before, and it is the ONLY fighter game that I'VE played that ROLLS the sequence, rather than pressing individually.

Even in MK you can do special moves by rolling the inputs, if you are coming from MK.

The MK games ignore corner inputs. The fireball motion in the MK games is just down then forward. You can roll through it, but you can bypass the corner completely. People coming to SF from the MK games have trouble getting special moves off at first because of this.
