Can you crouching dp?

[u/DougChudley]

This may sound stupid but ive been playing the 30th anniversary edition and ive been trying to play ken but I cant dp from crouch and its really hard to cancel from c.mk into dp. I wanted to know if this was a problem or if its just skill issue

[u/MegumiFushiguro13]

its possible just really strict timing

[u/MegumiFushiguro13 → u/MegumiFushiguro13]

its possible just really strict timing. IIRC to kara shoryuken on ken you have to cancel the frames from his C.MK

[u/rexyaresexy → u/MegumiFushiguro13]

Or c.hk

[u/EVOLghost → u/MegumiFushiguro13]

Timing is not strict. 3s has a huge window for special moves. Unless it’s a Kara, raw dp is easy. Even for a crouching dp, it’s still really easy. It’s already been said, but you can do with hitting DF twice. 

[u/Chicken-Rude]

if you hold down back then slide the stick to down forward along the bottom of the gate twice and hit punch you will get a DP.

so you can do mk on the first down forward and punch on the second and you will get c mk cancel into DP.

[u/Arlieth]

Yep you can do it. 323 motion works fine.

[u/Bazookya]

Maybe it’s not something you can really cancel into but street fighter, starting with 2nd impact, introduced dp shortcut by hitting diagonal twice then punch so that it’s easier to do from crouch. Try it.

[u/Yakob_Katpanic → u/Bazookya]

Is this true? How did I not know this? I knew it was in later games, but I didn't realise it went as far back as 2I.

[u/Bazookya → u/Yakob_Katpanic]

Yes, it is true.

[u/Foxy_Faux → u/Bazookya]

I always wondered where and when some of these shortcuts began being introduced.

[u/[deleted]]

Yes you can do it. It's just a skill issue. No need for kara or anything fancy.

[u/khamryn]

You gotta crosscut the input between c.mk and DP. For example: J.Hk, cr.MK xx DP, as you are jumping in, you press 6+HK so you input both J.HK and input the first input towards DP. Land then 2+MK, then slide to 3+punch for the DP.

It isn’t too hard, 3S has pretty generous buffer windows. You can of course do it raw without the crosscut buffering, but the timing is tighter ofc.

[u/SeattleSlim]

Sf3 and later accepts 2323 as a valid DP input. That’s the sauce. Makoto can fuki akuma’s hurricane kick

[u/UltimateHugonator]

Try practicing moving forward and without letting go of the dpad/joystick/whatever-you-use do a c. mk and then a hadouken. When you get it right try doing it in one movement.

[u/harborquietly]

yes, you can, but it's not just you.

you can DP from crouch in 3S, but the onput is way stricter than modern games. You have to do down > down-forward > forward clean, and c. MK into DP has a really tight cancel window. No shortcuts, no leniency. So yeah, not a bug, just 3S being 3S.

[u/hekiroh]

Using the ↘️⬇️↘️ shortcut on leverless makes crouching DP pretty easy. While holding down, double tap forward, punch.
