VF2 Help!!

Well, I have VF2 on my PSP from Sega Genesis Classics, I just really started getting into it, my absolute favorite character is Kage-Maru. Anyway, I need help. I looked on his move list from VF2, some of them tell you to hold down a direc. button and then tap another direc. at the same time. I know I sound like a total noob but hear me out =[ Do I hold it and tap another really fast or hold it down and tap it at the same time? HELP!!

 

in VF2, most times you are told to "hold" a direction it is down. This is to put your character in a crouching state. At higher levels you do this through crouch dashing but at the beginning just holding down until your character crouches is sufficient. No directional moves are simultaneous, they follow in sequence.

Hold down and then tap in the forward direction while pressing kick. This is Kage's rising knee.
