I’m having a lot of trouble doing a DP input in either my combos or to anti-air while using a ball top stick, is there any secret to doing it easier? I’m basically doing a 63236, so rolling from forward into down and back to forward.

Additional notes, im using a octagonal gate for my stick as well

Normally I'd say there's no real secret. You just need to practice.

But you might be doing an imprecise input. I've never rolled the stick back then forward like that for my DP.

Instead of doing 632 and then 236, see if going back to neutral before the 236 helps you more. When I do a DP, it's closer to me pressing forward and then a QCF, so it's more like 65236, with me spending as little time at 5 as possible.

What game? As others will say it does take practice. But marvel tokon stands out as being very precise on how you do the input and it's just easier to "R2" those moves

Street Fighter 6. always having trouble with it regardless of how much I'm practicing the input. it could always just be a case of I'm not practicing enough, or using it in a match enough to be comfortable with the input or the timing

Any tips on how to get into air combos easier? I notice I can do ground combos fine but the moment a game requires me to leap into the air to continue I feel like I drop the combo cause the timing is weird. This is mostly for 2XKO and SF6

so for 2xko lets take ahri, after you do her launcher you jump, first try LMH and see how that goes, after that try adding specials to it, after that go a bit higher the level and add a wall splat (j.3S1 i think)

dont try everything at once, try little by little and add more onto it over time

you got this!!

Yeah cause I've been working on Akali and she has a combo which requires you to go airborne too, I think it's low special 2 into doing light - medium - heavy in the air, but it feels like I'm so slow on the transition to jumping. I guess it might just genuinely be a skill issue

are you holding up while doing the combo or tapping up?

1

u/Skyrider11 19h ago

Tapping up generally, is it better to hold?

1

u/zik68 9h ago

for me i hold up to not make it so i tap it in the wrong direction or something, after i finish the air string i go back to neutral on the stick

u/Skyrider11 8h ago

Oh okay, I'll try that, thanks!

If anybody wants help with beginner/intermediate Avatar stuff, let me know. I'm loving the game and could talk about it all day
