Please help me with this crazy combo?!?

Hey guys,
Have been practicing with akira for the past few days and
having troubles with this combo.
/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif --> /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f_.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif --> /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/df.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/df.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif

I watched couple of replays and have seen a lot of japanese players
using this combo. I have literally tried for 100 X , just can't
get it. Hope you guys can shed some light. Thx in advance.

Maybe try inputing it as /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/db.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/db.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif? It works for me (and will again if I ever try playing him again).

 

Yea you have to be pretty swift to nail that one. Question, is your double palm coming out and just missing? Or is it not coming out at all? If it's missin you just have to buffer the double palm quicker. If it's not coming out at all practice just buffering the DP over and over again. Also try /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/db.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/d.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/db.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif or /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/df.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/d.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/df.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif from 2nd player side to do it. Might be easier for you or maybe not, but it's worth a shot. Also there is already another topic of this question that has many replies to it that may help you out. Here is the link

Hey Myke,
Sorry for my ignorance, still new to the VF5 scene....
does /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f_.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif mean press/hold the joystick foward and then p, as opposed to /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif?

And yeah, my problem is the last double palm, I cannot execute fast enough. I have always thought that you have to crouch dash /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/df.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/df.gif to execute the last double palm....thx for correcting me there.
Thanks for the help guys....I am getting there /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif

Thanks Myke! I was having trouble buffering crouchdashes using 11 or 33 but this is much easier for me. I just tried it out, works great!

 

Hey guys,
just practiced today with this combo again....I would say
I would probably get it 2 every 10 times. Big improvement no doubt, thx for all the tips. However, I still can't realize how ppl do it so smoothly in the game, every time. I will keep practicing.
Cheers,

I do the double palm by buffering in a /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/d.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif then do /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif.

I can land the standing punch into double palm about 3/4th's the time, but the crouching punch to double palm all the time.

The difference in points to me doesn't justify screwups and I've lost matches cause I went for the extra 3-4 points the standing punch combo gives but whiffed and then I lost the match.

I'd say mastering it will give you a 3-4 point damage advantage over me but that's a risk I'm not willing to take with my luck.

 

Yep, unless its second nature it may not be worth doing. Slightly similar, in open stance you can also do
/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif - (small dash) - /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/d.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif - /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/d_.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif~/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif
Which is maxdamagecombo up to jacky in open stance. (Akira can avoid it with exact recovery). You can maybe pull it off without dash, but you need slight delay before the lowpunch.

 

The single-palm -> elbow combo is definitely worth going for if you really want that extra points.

What I like is that if you screw up, you're much more likely to get damage in cause you'd be whiffing just the elbow part. Whiffing Double palm usually leads to tech-roll punishment. Elbow follow up is very safe I think.

That and it looks AWESOME

 

Not just akira...

 

i know the combo you are mentioning, i never do it the way you are trying to do it though. what i do is /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif then /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/d.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif then buffer in the double palm by doing /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif after the crouch punch

 

We werent talking about doublepalm.

Danny: yeah, I know now that theres several characters on which the combo doesnt work.

 

i randomly discovered this in vf4, and i find it to be the most consistent way for me to buffer double palm or any other move similar such as wolf's reverse hammer. after the discovery, i played vf3 and vf2 to see if the buffer would be the same, and VOILA! work's like a charm! /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

 

dude this is a god send for me because I have the 2d roots you're speaking of.

 

3. QCB x 2, - you might find this super combo method easier if you're from a 2D fighter background

QCB x 2, i have know idea what you guys are talking about. someone please enlighten me. thanks

 

Quarter Circle Back - the first direction is down. Some QCB x 2 = 214214
