I still Can't Do this Move After All This Time

After all this time with VF5FS I Still cannot reliably pull off Lei Fei's

Rakan Shintengeki from Sousai Haiken

in a match. But come to think of it., I don't ever recall seeing it done online, or in a live tournament. Maybe I haven't been watching close enough. I have seen the AI do it in special sparring, but that's it.

Anybody able to pull off this move reliably in a match? Any body see this done regularly by any Lei Fei players? How much damage does it do? Is it safe I don't know since I can't pull it off

Maybe if I switch to the pad

 

I have pulled it off a few times in offline matches.

 

@beanboy wow., you must be pretty good.

I literally can't pull the damn move off consistently, not even in the dojo Its a beautiful move too. I would love to be able to pull it off during matches even if it was blocked and I was left at -10 disadvantage

The AI pulls it off against me from time to time (but rarely) And I don't believe I've ever seen it in an offline or online match between two human players.

Does every character have a hard move like this I only play with Lei Fei so I haven't studied the other character's move sets.

Did the developers make this move so difficult on purpose so that only very highly skilled players can pull it off., or am I more of a scrub than I originally thought


@beanboy did you pull it off using a stick or the pad?

 

I pulled it off on pad a few times.

 

Did you pull it off in an actual match against a high level player

 

Nah! On a beginner player, who was spamming attacks.

 

I was thinking about this thread and I went for it against a much stronger opponent. Only the first step came out. Then we both just stood there for two seconds looking at the mess I made.

I went for it today, and was successful though.

 

I still cannot reliably pull it off Maybe I should try it on a d-pad

 

I treat it the same as I do Aoi's chain throws. I input all sections extremely early. I don't bother waiting for anything to finish. Just as an example: https://youtu.be/GyB40cy4GOM
I did this on keyboard. I normally use a leverless, so it would be a bit easier for me on there.

 

I think we can all agree that the hardest Lei-Fei move, the hardest move to do in all of VF, is Hai 2k.

Boku k again!?

 

You can do it with 3K or 1K inputs without going into Boku. You can also just hold 2 as long as you like after going into Hai instead of going to neutral inbetween.
