Special moves inputs

[aresco1]

I know that this topic has been covered before, but do you people find special moves hard to pull off? I'm using x box controller and constantly struggling to do those. The best part is that I see the inputs in training and I time them with the rest of the moves. The problem is one time it comes out and the other it does not. In mk11 I had not such problems. Also, I've tested many settings and none seem to be working for me.

Are you trying to do regular special moves or enhanced? If its enhanced ones you have to press block and the special attack button together. Its not like MK11 where you do the regular move and amplify it later.

there is a work around for me here but its more stupid than you think, by holding the previous attack button before doing the special move with another attack button you can avoid mis-inputing your specials

lets say kitana's fan nado and fancy kick has same motion but you want fancykick after
(comeback combo)
2, 4, 1, 2

to avoid it to use the fannado, hold 1 before 2 then motion the fancy kick

2,4,1 (hold), fancy kick

Turn off release check and turn on input shortcuts.... this might solve your input issues.

^^ Problem definitely sounds like release check is on

Yes, forgot to mention that. I've meant enhanced. Pressing block and the special attack button together does not work for me. Let's bring an example- Milena 1 2 into sai throw. Does that enhanced sai throw always come out when you press the buttons at the same time or do you do slightly press block before doing the inputs for sai throw? Oh one more thing - yes I've got release check turned off.

it's off. Enhancing special moves in this game is generally confusing for lots of people. NRS should make some changes to the timing or something.

Thanks for trying to help. Do the same with milena 1 2 or any other to enhanced sai throw. Will it work for you?
