EWGF feels impossible

Is their a trick to this? i land maybe one out of twenty.

You can use special style.

[Skiptro]

not an expert in this but from what i understand you need to hit df and 2 at the same time, or within a few frames of each other

Forget special style! (it's slow and also where is the fun in that!)
Anyway yes, the trick is all about timing and actually pressing 2 at the same time of the diagonal.
In order to make it more reliable you should start by practicing wavedash(start slowly and get the inputs right) and also check the inputs in practice mode to see if you're too late or too early with 2.
You won't get it perfect right away of course but if you can get it 10/20 times instead of one it's already way better.

Just frame moves are dumb to still have for just a few characters.

Basically press df and 2 at the same time

what peripheral do you use?

[Markka]

Atleast they gave us noobs change to use it in heat mode with just the regular input

It's hard but it's supposed to be. It's a 13f safe high +5 ob launcher

I'm on a hitbox currently

If you're trying on Kazuya or Reina keep in mind they have an alternative EWG input by skipping the down input entirely, it's harder but also faster.

This makes it a bit easier to explain.

You can do it super slow. You press forward, then down and while holding down you press forward and 2 at the same time. It’s super strict just frame and hard to do on any controller. If you wire 2 and forward button together you would get it every time.

It’s funny how hard pressing two buttons together can be. It’s also inconsistent even for the best players in the world.

[Make otgf -9 pls]

Rinse and repeat no other way

you need to hit the button and the down forward at the exact same frame. a tip that helped me get more consistent at them is to think that i have to hit the button at the same time of pressing down instead of down forward (the input is forward, let go of the controller, down, downforward) doing it like this helps me to actual hit it on the downforward instead of later since the habit is to usually do a motion and then press the button. with training youll get there tho, try to see your inputs and see how early or late your pressing the button. hope you can do it ^^

best video!
moved button to execute last F with same hand as punch buttons
executes alot easier ! +80% success rate

before that change - it felt like i had most success with pressing the punch button together with Down and then rolling over the Forward but not very consistent
