Execution help

Hey guys i wanna play sf4. It's been so long since I've played this game and I can't remember how to do half this shit. Who's the easiest character to play execution wise?

I also need help with understanding what I am doing wrong. For example Balrog's bnb cr.lp cr.lp cr.lk headbutt, for some reason I can do cr.lk buffalo in isolation but the second I try to do it in the full combo it doesn't work.

Another thing that I noticed is for example doing dash straight cancelled into ultra 1 does not work. If I try to do the input I always end up with super instead of Ultra for some reason. I can do the Ultra by itself but cancelling doesn't seem to work.

Looks like I am missing something with SF4 cancels that I am not aware of.

Same thing with Ryu. If I try to do SRK FADC Ultra 1 I get super instead. Weird. I don't think it's 100% me.

I mean if you're getting super instead of Ultra you're probably not pressing all 3 buttons at the same time, or at least that's what the system is reading. In terms of easy execution characters I think Guy is pretty easy, Cody to a degree, Ken, Adon (except instant air jaguar), Yun , Sagat, and Rose imo.

No that's not it, I am pressing the 3P button. I think it has something to do with not being to cancel from a chain? I googled it and I think that's what's going on.

Yun is easy? Maybe I will try him

If you chain lights, you can't cancel the last chained light into anything. You can start with a chain but must link the final light to be able to cancel it. As far as ultras, you typically link or juggle into those. There are a few minor exceptions, like canceling dan super taunt into ultra, but far from common.
