[CS1] D Button Slide. Helpful Finger Technique [STICK ONLY]

[RandomGuy]

This is just a small short thread for those using a stick and have some difficulty trying to get level 3 on there normal D attacks by holding a button. (does not work on Distortions). You can quickly slide your finger (specifically the ring finger for those who use A Style or thumb for b style) to get level 3 D moves. It requires some getting use to for combos and you have to muscle memorize the timing. It is a different way to use the buttons, but I'm positive it'll be useful some.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Simple Directions!

position your finger on the left side of the D button then slide it off to the right. You can start it in the middle as well. IZ MAD EZ YO

You can dismiss or don't use. Don't hate, don't flame me. Just a little Idea, just a little trick. Just trying to help my fellow Makoto brethren.

My fingers get tired from negative edge and crud (surprising not from arakune loops and combos...) so I thought I'd employ this trick sometimes...the title sounds sexual now...

Really useful technique. But I was "sad face" when I read that it only works for sticks.

[RandomGuy]

Haha, yea sorry bout that. It can probably be done on pad as well because I do the same thing on pad a different game. Used to be a pad warrior...

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet but I found a pretty simple way for timing lvl 3 D attacks that should work for both. When you hold D for most of her attacks, including DD's, a orange ring will shrink around her hand then disappear, if you release just as the ring touches her fist and vanishes it should give you a lvl 3 attack. If this is already known I apologize for being a noob.

Thanks, Wondering how to get LVL 3 on that move for awhile.

i just have it down to memory

Thumbs up RandomGuy!

Ill try this out tomorrow. I have been having problems landing lvl 3 moves in combos.

-Crazy bat guy

Nice! Ill try this out as well tomorrow!

EDIT:

I found that going by feeling when doing lvl 3 D´s works best for me, and when doing DD´s I just look at the meter.

wow it really helps!.. altho i find sliding to the left works better for me

[xX_Riku_Xx]

IT WORKS!!!!

Great piece of advice. I recommend anyone picking up Mokoto. Helped out a bunch. Like RandomGuy said its a little tricky for combos, but it really helps nail those L3 impacts.

I find looking at the circle that converges on Makoto's fists help me with timing way more.

[Remius]

Definitely. The circle is there for a reason.

I'm glad it helps and yes sliding to the left actually is better as it's more natural, good call!

That also works, I do that sometimes. When I play I sometimes don't pay attention to my character =(.

Glad it helped. My original thinking was for helping out those who were just picking her up, veteran or new players alike.

Definitely. The circle is there for a reason.

Yea, for sure! Whatever helps people get a L3. I've memorized the timing way before I posted this, I just needed a way to do it so it causes less stress on my hands after too many pushing the D buttons.

Thank you all who comment on this topic.
