2 4 throw extension?

[Gengar]

what is the timing for the throws in the 2 4 strings. everytime i go to do the final hit of it, i just do the leg sweep. when do i need to be hitting 2/4 for the extension?

It's a just-frame link. You have to press 2 or 4 as soon as you do 1+3. Mashing like hell works pretty well and if you play on stick you can p-link it.

It's right around when KL puts the oppo's leg to his hip is when you hit either 2 or 4. Hope this helps.

just mash it. Also not trying to hit it but this question has been asked a ton of times. Im not a moderator but just ask this kinda stuff at the Q&A thread

blueNINE is by far the best Kung Lao I've ever seen to hit the just frame by hitting the button on that EXACT frame. If you told him to do it 50 times he'd do it 49 no lie.

thanks everyone for the pointers. ill try mashing it out, i was delaying it prior, assuming that there was an odd timing thing. but if its a just frame then i just gotta be moar faster.

No need to mash. Actually, mashing will be less consistent. The timing is actually very specific, and it's kind of late -- around the time Kung Lao extends the opponent's leg. If anything, you could double tap once (if you use stick).

Also, the timing is the same for both the 2 follow-up and the 4 follow-up.

Do you ever count to yourself? (one one-thousand two one-thousand) I usually cut off the "thousand" part, and just say "one one"

I find that people use different cues, like learning styles. Seeing it visually works for some, feeling it and recalling muscle memory is kinesthetic learning, and others listen for it. I've found since using my hitbox that most of my cues are 'rhythmic', some combos sound like a mess until I find the right piano rhythms.

Just try everything but remember your options, seeing, hearing, feeling it out. Just mashing isn't any of these though, and won't lead to consistency.

when I am playing mk a few days straight and im not rusty I can also get it 4 pout of 5 and I just mash it.

I find pressing 2 right as their leg reaches lao's side works well. For the 4 input pause for like quarter of a second then mash it out and it'll always come out.
