Havingt trouble with SDE hitchecking

    ploP,
    I have a problem with SDE.
    Since I don't have the hitcheck skill for this move, basically I do /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f_.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif after it connects, so I always have the float combos on CH but ofc it whiffes on normal hit and I miss the free AS3.
    Is there anyway in dojo to set the AI to random hits between normal and CH?
    If no, is there any way to train the SDE hitcheck?

    Thanks !

    Unfortunately, there is no random reaction setting (that's an awesome idea, though). You can practice in Quest mode or even in dojo. In dojo, set the CPU to fight at, say, level four or five. It will fight constantly - just use your SDE and react accordingly. Hell, you can even practice ETEG when your SDE gets blocked.

    What I usually do when hit-checking MC only hits is watching out for the yellow flash.
    Maybe conditioning yourself to that could help you too.

    Also, AFAIK nothing is guaranteed after normal hit SDE?

    AS3 is guaranteedon certain chars I think

    Yeah i'm pretty sure that AS3 and 1k are guaranteed, I could be wrong though.

    For hitchecking the SDE, you can watch for the yellow flash or listen for the different sound effect it makes on CH. You can also watch the opponent to see what they are doing while the SDE is coming out.

    AS3 on light/mid and /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/db.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif on rest. Not sure really cause I dont bother with the combo in those cases.

    I tried AS3 and db+K on Eileen yesterday because I was still feeling very skeptical about this.

    AS3 she could roll away from even without exact recovery.
    db+K connected until I put exact recovery on and then she avoided that too.

    I guess you don't really lose much in trying the db+K, save for maybe okizeme, but nothing is really guaranteed after normal hit SDE (unless someone floats higher than Eileen for some reason).

    Youre right.
