Need help, problems with 2x quarter circle

[Gasanovuulu]

I haven't played much street fighter at all, but I have learned some basic moves. Now I have ran in to a wall, doing 2 quarter circles for a move. I have no idea how to execute this.

Do I just do 1 quarter circle, let the stick slide back to a neutral position and then do another one straight after? What's confusing me is how to go through the motion twice. Currently playing Sagat and all I seem to do is a tiger shot whenever I try doing these 2x quarter circles. Might be worth mentioning that the move I'm attempting to do is 'Tiger Genocide' 2x quarter circle + kick

I'm using my brother's old fightstick that he gave me(if that is relevant)

I have googled it but I can't find any decent guide on how to do this. Everything I find is about people who Already know how to to 2x quarter circles and then they discuss it further.

It's really not that hard after you've pulled it off once. You already know how to perform a single quarter circle, and you just do two of them - the timing is somewhat strict, though, so you'll have to input this pretty fast.

Let's say you have to do two quarter circles (QC) forward, like for Ryu's ultra 1. You start with the stick pointing downwards, flick it forward, then down and forward again. You slide along the outer edge of your stick's gate, if that's any help.

Also, you do not need to meticulously input two entire quarter-circles. The game only has eight directions that it cares for, and the diagonal ones are really just two of the main ones combined. Knowing this, you can get your QCs to be less problematic, and here's why:

Let's use QC forward again. You can start by holding DOWN, then move it to DOWN-FORWARD. Since this counts as both down and forward, the game already counts that 1/8th of a circle as a quarter-circle. Think about Ryu throwing a hadouken, if you do it that way, you will stay crouching for the entire input. Doing two QCs in quick succession is easier as well using this method.

EDIT: Also, you say you get tiger shot instead of Ultra, make sure you press KKK (ALL THREE KICKS) for an ultra using kicks, not just one! Bind one key to KKK or hit all three kicks simultaneously.

Figured it uot how hard is to explain the moves to someone who didn't played fighting games at all. But the explanation above is very clear.

Now I got a clear idea of how to actually do this. Have managed to do it quite a few times now, but need a bit more practice to feel more sure about it.

Thank you for the help!

Training mode and practice is the surest way. There are no shortcut motions for quarter and half circle so practice on accuracy then speed is the only way.
Also, use the smallest motion possible. For most sticks you'll get a down input before your stick is stopped by edge. You'll get a slightly smaller motion when doing your qc motion and will greatly increase your speed once you get the hang of not holding down until the stick can't move further down (or any position).

Down back diagonal to forward works as a shortcut for half circles.
