(Apologies in advance for deviating away from your MLG/EVO talk, but I was told it was best to post this here)
So the other day I was messing around with dp into fireball drive cancel and with a little work going around the cast of characters found that the shortcut dp+p~p works with other characters besides Liz outside of HD mode (and with other buttons besides p and in different combinations i.e. dp+lp~hk, lp~hp, hp~lp, etc)
The method I used to get this was doing the dp motion (or rdp) and then quickly doing the combination of attack buttons (think of the timing/speed as that of double clicking on your mouse)
Characters and what I've been able to get: (Note that whether the moves connect or game viability was not the goal, but to see if the method worked)
- Ryo (dragon punch xdcx fireball = pp)
- Robert (dragon punch xdcx fireball = pp)
- Mr Karate (dragon punch xdcx fireball = pp)
- K' (dragon punch xdcx fireball = pp & dragon punch xdcx dash = pk)
- Kyo (dragon punch xdcx fireball = pp & dragon punch xdcx qcf+k = pk)
- Yuri (dragon punch xdcx fireball = pp & dragon punch xdcx qcf+kl = pk (Only happened once, but got dp+k every other time so it's too inconsistent))
- Kula (dragon punch xdcx fireball = pp (C ver only it seems))
- Saiki (dp+k xdcx fireball = kp)
- Flame Iori (dragon punch xdcx fireball = pp (Got to do the double tap faster than the others imo, feels inconsistent)
- Andy (dragon punch xdcx elbow using f,db,f+p~p (No matter the combination of strengths won't connect :P)
- Chin (qcb+p xdcx drink using rdp+p~p (don't know why, but qcb out prioritizes drink)
- Athena (dragon punch xdcx teleport = pk))
- Benimaru (dp+k xdcx air fireball using dp+k~p (delay the p just a fraction more than with the others. doesn't seem to do xdcx into ground fireball))
- Ex Kyo (dragon punch xdcx qcf+k = pk (pp for xdcx in rekka doesn't seem to work))
- Kensou (rdp+k xdcx fireball = kp)
I feel like this shouldn't be too hard for people to confirm for themselves, but I might try and make a video of it at some point and get it up to show it.
