Sounds good

EDIT: Thanks for playing, FinalBaton! Had a great time as always!

Questions to all you guys who play Super Turbo

I really don't want to ask this on SRK or any other forum seeing how I'm not registered there
but this has been on my mind forever

I want to know why DP [Dragon Punch/FQCF] in Super Turbo so inconsistent for me

I can pull DPs off in all other games perfectly fine when I need to but in Super Turbo my inputs seem to mess up a lot more than any other fighting games

Can easily pull them off in:
Third Strike
Alpha
BlazBlue
King of Fighters
etc

I can even pull of DPs consistently on the Super Nintendo version of Super Street Fighter but not the Arcade version. There is something about Super Turbo that I have issues with.

Anyone have any idea why?

[Dragon Punch/FQCF]

There's your problem

[Shelcoof]

[Dragon Punch/FQCF]

There's your problem

Found this on SRK wiki
"DP - Dragon punch - Tilt stick forwards, then to downward, then to downward and forward. "

Does it really make that huge of a difference if its not hit on the diagonal?
I'm going to have to test this out

Back in the days FQCF was how we all did DPs
Of course on the SNES this worked fine... it wasn't often we played on the original cab

I'm going to slap my self silly if this was the reason

[KAI]

because the dp input in sf2 is shit, that's why.

wait are you serious?
Can you elaborate a bit on it?

[Ex_Mosquito]

No it's not because it's 'sf2 is shit' it's because your execution is bad... As the franchise progressed from SF2 onwards Capcom made the inputs more relaxed and easier to pull-off. SF2 won't allow sloppy inputs but with enough practice you can get a 100% rate easily.

Doing a proper DP is a lost art it seems (not counting sf1 here..) For example on SF4 you can do a DP by simply double-tapping df+punch. Crazy.

I don't know about an easy 100% rate... its been over two decade and I still can't get a consistent DP to save my life

Did they apply the same relaxed inputs to SNES version of Street Fighter II as well?

That's probably just you getting lucky with negative edge, with which Capcom has been getting more and more generous over the years. Just look at CvS2.

Never even heard of negative edge before
This is really interesting

Pianoing is your friend too:D

At this point I just want to learn how to consistently do a DP lol
Pianoing or Kara Canceling etc is far from my mind at this moment

Surprisingly pointing out FQCF and Negative Edge is sort of helping
I need to put in a bit more practice to figure it out

I'm usually pretty busy, but I can be available during afternoons or moreso during the weekends. Looking forward to some good fights. I currently don't have a headset, but I can communicate via the PSN phone app. I'll update this info when I do get a headset. I have a good internet connection. I'd like to add that I'm not a sore loser and consider myself a really good sport, win or lose (though admittedly I tend to lose often) and I have fun regardless, though I do try my best.

Agreed it's just that the input registering is unforgiving in SF2 arcade. it certainly doesn't baby the player
Practice a lot and will will get it down.

If you're using a controller in lieu of an arcade stick, make sure you use one that has a really good d-pad

Oh yhaa Super Turbo and probably the Fatal Fury games before 3 all seem to have very strict inputs.

I'm set up pretty good at home with a variety of arcade joysticks. I know its not the joystick as I can pretty much use a JLF/LS-32/LS-40/Hayabusa just fine with other fighters. It's that very strict timing and execution that throws me off... very difficult to pin point.

I gave up ages ago on Super Turbo but I'd like to give it one more shot before absolutely giving up completely

[WelshMegalodon]

Timing in the Garou Densetsu games isn't all that bad, at least relative to the Street Fighter games. The trick is to press the attack button a bit later than you would in a Capcom fighter.

That being said, I have had trouble getting Crack Shoots to come out in Special.

EDIT: Briefly tried out Special again. I can pull off three Crack Shoots in quick succession.

I personnaly go about it this way :
input FORWARD - DOWN -FORWARD very cleanly (precisely) and fast, and a DP will come out 100% of the time. Practice and practice and practice

Each and every time that it hasn't worked out for me, I realised that it was because I hadn't hit all 3 commands cleanly. So it was 100% my fault.

I know this may sound like a silly question but how about timing the the punch button? At what point should I be pushing and releasing it?

Performing moves isn't all too bad but when your in the heat of battle and you want a special to come out.... that's the problem.. at least for me

interval between FORWARD - PUNCH is the same as intervals between previous commands

so get consistent intervals. And then find the right speed ^_^ b

That's what I've been trying to figure out for over two decades... alright well I'll get working on all the tips people have suggested

Hopefully I'll be able to get gud enough and have a few sessions online

Nice!

That's what I've been trying to figure out for over two decades

it really doesn't take long to try out a bunch of different speeds (for the whole command I mean) once you have the "consistent intervals" thing down.

Oh I know that's why I've feeling maybe Super Tubo isn't my game. We'll see once I put some more practice in

[Stevens]

Pianoing is far from my mind at this moment

Surprised pianoing isn't helping you then. Good luck!

Final Baton solved it for me

I realized I was inputing the commands too slowly that's why I'd get a fireball or a regular attack instead of a DP

Using FinalBaton's method helped me execute the command within the short time frame....at least that's what I think

Didn't take to long until I started getting consistent.
I just need more practice now that I know

[Stevens]

Glad you figured it out.

[trap15]

You don't need consistent intervals, you just have a relatively short window to do everything in. Think of it as a Z motion and it makes more sense. Punch can go down (or come up) after df or while still holding it, doesn't matter. You just gotta do it without too much time passing between the last direction and the button.

[Krimzon Kitzune]

I've posted my info, is it going to be added to the first post?

That's good to know.. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only person with this problem. Many of the guys I know growing up playing Street Fighter 2 in arcades thought of a DP as Forward then Fireball. Thinking you had extra time to do a DP where in reality it was the same window as doing a fireball [at least my understanding of it]

Now that I got this out of the way... I need to work on my cross ups and maybe combos?
We'll see

Appreciate all the help guys.... this was a mystery for me for a while that was holding me back from enjoying the game
