    How do you do a striking attack when you float or knock down an opponent instead of a down attack. Ex. with shun if i want 2dp after a round ive been doing /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif + /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif instead of just /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/df.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif because a down attack would be performed. Also when I try to combo with a regular /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/df.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif combo after a float I would get a down attack as well. I've seen videos of people using it but I do not know the command. Any help is appreciated.

    In my experience, simply holding the direction you need as fast as possible will work. For example, after a chouwan (down to forward P), immediately hold down-forward, then hit P P K. Basically, just avoid tapping. Never been able to get tapping to work. If anyone knows of a good way to buffer this, please feel free to contribute. I don't consider myself a shunspert by any stretch of the imagination.

    P.S. I am actually drunk, so apologies for the lack of spelling/input notation.

    P.P.S. I am proud of the word shunspert. Patent Pending.

    This question has been asked about once or twice a year ever since VF3. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

    The trick is to not start from neutral before the /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/df.gif direction. So quickly enter /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/df.gif or /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/d.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/df.gif and you should be set.

    A slower way is to hold /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/df_.gif first before hitting /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif (or /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif), but this can waste valuable time.

    I personally recommend the former method (/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/df.gif or /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/d.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/df.gif).
