Can anybody help with the tutorial with the button input after a special move cancel. The part that i need to do with Raiden is F'in crazy! I just cant get it right like i am retarded or something. Tongue sticking out of my mouth bashing the buttons and my wife laughing at me. help me!
Is it the double back forth combo with R1 cancels?
That special cancel into special combo with Raiden took me like 30m(the two beforehand were rough as well, but this one was a special case of ugh). It was aggravating, frustrating, irritating, and even as I slowly improved, it felt like a goddamn miracle I even succeeded. Between the bullshit timing of the dial-in combo to buffer ahead of animations, and the insufferably low success rate I have for pulling off back forward motions, it is something I'll never succeed at again, nor ever WANT to attempt again.
The tutorial in this game helped wrap my head around a lot of fighting game methodology and terms, I just NRS builds systems that are way too rigid. The more I learn about how it works, the less fun I have. At least for me.
But no real tips other than to keep banging your head with practice. I found myself practicing chunks of the combo to try and nail both the timing before getting the link. The most tricky part for me was getting that final R1 in time. I completed the combo so much, but no matter how close I pressed R1 at the end to trigger the EX version of the special, it failed. You REALLY have to trigger it way early, like before the move animation starts. I haven't been so annoyed at a game in a long time as I was doing this nonsense.
