Old question on how to do Ryo's SDM consistently It is so damn hard! :(

[kengarou]

I know the command is qcf C~A     I  do it normally by drumming my fingers across but it is not accurate, I get it like once out of 50 tries,  whats the method here? Is there any easier way for it to come out? It is so annoying when I can't pull it off everytime.

It's a crappy move, why even bother using it. Not worth it for the trouble involved with just executing it.

[kengarou]

I know , but I want to learn , whats the point of having a kof forum and I don't get any help? No hard feelings , but I really want to master.

Are you talking about Art of Fighting 1~3?
Well I tried doing the Ryuko Ranbu in AoF 1 in MAME and ummm...I got it to come out @_@ maybe you need to press them both at the same time? Mind you I inputted TWICE and they came out TWICE.

If it's in 2002 well, really, give it up or just use normal DM instead. No point since got way too strict and bitchy to pull out.

If it's on 2002UM it's lot easier, kinda like K's HSDM.

[Sol_Shingo]

Yeah, as they say, if it's 2k2 don't even bother. I don't even think it's humanly possible to do it consistently...

[How are you doing today?]

It's easy once you know the trick; super cancel it from a C Koho after the first hit. Sure, it costs a stock extra, but it is unblockable (try it on a guarding opponent in practice.)

That's basically almost every SDM in that game lol

For Art of Fighting 1-3, you do the command motion then leave your stick to neutral position and after that press the button

KOF 01 is easier to pull it off because you can do f,d,df + C then super cancel by pressing qcf + A since it already read C from dp + C.
KOF 02 you have to do something where it doesn't read the input qcf + C like landing from a jump, backdash, activating BC, recover from a move or roll, and super cancel from dp + C. Like everyone said here, don't bother using this in a match.

Hmm... not really, some SDM's are tons better than their DM counterpart. Vice's Withering Surface SDM >>>> Withering Surface DM (speed, invincibility frames at start up and HUGE damage).

[kengarou]

I am actually refering to kof 2002 Ryo    So sorry guys if I never  specify my question well. Anyway , thanks to PureYeti for the advice , but to be frank I knew what you are talking about , but it is still damn hard to pull it out.    I still don't know how that damn guy in my arcade pull it off like nobody's buisness!   I actually  do him approach for advice  but he doesn't want to share and told me it is a secret, damn him!

Fixed.

God, some of the HSDM commands... >_>

[rikasaurus]

^^^ Yeah, that's what I meant.

The HSDMs in 2k2 are ridiculous.

[Don Vecta]

I'm glad all of them got fixed and reworked in 2002UM since most HSDM were also sorta useless (OMG, he's low in health and he broke MAX Mode! Is he going to use HSDM? nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo~)

[Kei]

For Ryo's HSDM in 2k2 qcf A/C its like K's only qcf can't be buffered with A/C so you have to kinda do A~C when your stick is forward... its really strange timing.

And old 2k2 same thing.

2k2HSDMs wern't all the bad. Granted most were useless and weird commands but check out O.Yashiro's. It can be used as reaction to fireball spams from Athena and from full screen too!
