How do you do the 360 degrees movement down consistently on pad?

[Calamity]

i cant get it right all the time and it's one of lily key combos. That 720 motion that zangief got is impossible for me to do

[Pops Freshenmeyer]

The 360 isn't too bad in this game for me I start from the forward motion and roll down back and then finally the up part. Do the up part fast and you wont' jump and will instead grab the guy. Fair warning I"m only silver on zangief but I can pull off the spd whenever I want doing it the way I described.

You don't actually need to do a full circle. Using numpad notation you can do 632149+P. If you hit 9 and P at the same time you'll get it. Bit tricky but give it a go.

As a Gief main, I'll help you out.

The 360 does not need to be a full 360. You can do a half circle (forward or back) and end in up forward or back forward.

For the 720 motion, it IS possible to do it while standing, but is normally extremely difficult to do so and only a handful of people can do it. Not even SnakeEyes, the best Gief on the planet, does standing 720s cause they are too inconsistent.

Buffering in the thing in this game. Meaning, while you are doing a different move, you can input the 720 and just end with the button press once you can move. This can be anything from a jump, to a forward dash, another normal, or literally anything. For Gief, one of the best moves to buffer is his forward MK, the little knee hop. It gets you in range and is perfect to buffer 360s or 720s.

i play Lily pad (frog pun), and i hit her 360 command throw (Mexican Typhoon) pretty consistently.

believe it or not it's a pretty slow motion movement. try to get it when doing a Wind Clad Condor Spire while opponent is blocking. you can buffer the 360 movement while in the Condor Spire, and press Punch right when it ends. Experiment with different timings, and you'll get it.

Have you considered Modern controls?

All the help i can give you is that the game is hard, and you need to practice untill your thumbs bleed okay ?

If you are using a pad you don't need to move your finger around the edges of the dpad. Too slow and painful long term.
Even if you use a playstation controller that looks like a 4 separate buttons for directions it's one plastic piece underneath. You keep the thumb in the middle and try to rotate by tilting your thumb a little bit.
Also as others said - 720 is buffered during other moves. 360 can be buffered as well even when you blocked a move. The special moves executions don't need to perfect. They were simplified (modernised) a while ago.

I would also use dpad over an analog stick as the dpad is way faster and more precise in my opinion. If pros are using a gamepad they are also using dpad.

game takes 270 as a 360, you never have to do a full 360
so even for a 720 you only do one circle and a half

to do consistent 360, just go from forward clockwise, and hit punch/up at the same time

walk up 720 is something else you gotta look it up,
same idea start at forward/back
basically you have to do a full rotation during your character crouch before standing up
few people ever 'master' it

Actually even since SF2 you've been able to do a 360 by only doing a 270 motion. The shortcuts have always existed.

[WILFACTS]

I was a keyboard user on SF since the alpha era
you dont actually even have to do 270 degree
the input for keyboard/gamepad is 63214.8 (forward>down>back . up)
so the final one isnt actually back+up or fwd+up, it is actually just... up
so you grind your gamepad like half circle back, then hit up+punch, he grabs
for 720 its the same
doing some moves to avoid you to jump like Drive impact or Dash or whatever
and input this while Zangief cannot jump (6248 6248+p) and you do the super grab!

What do you currently have Up bound to? If it's currently on W, try moving it to Space.

[PawgaliciouS QueeN]

Could use the stick instead of the dpad for grapplers only.

[OgichiGame]

Simple, you go into practice mode and spend several hours repeating it over and over again everyday to get it more consistent.

I am not joking btw. That is exactly the sort of thing I've been doing since release. Of the 79 hours I've played so far, over 20 hours of that is just the practice mode. Replaying my combo trials over and over and over trying to clean up my inputs and be more consistent.

[𝕎𝕣𝕖𝕔𝕜𝕝𝕒𝕤]

Use moves that have a lot of frames so you can buffer it, You can also jump keeping in mind the jump motion is a part of the 360, You can also parry or block and do the motion in parry or block stun. You can do it well you are on the ground on wake up, You can do it well doing a Drive rush. There are a lot of way you can find to pull off the 720. Its intended to be a hard motion to do because when it hits it will take half your opponents hp.
