Bike kick help

[Rizzo]

Hey I have trouble with doing Liu Kang's bike kick. I only manage to do it at the very start of a round, because I hold the button in before the match starts. But during the match I would hold lk in and let go after a couple of seconds, let go, and nothing.

What helps you do the kick more often?

You have to hold LK down for alot longer than other attacks. Something like 5 seconds I believe? Not exactly sure.

Your letting it go too early or too late. Watch that.

And the bike kick can't cancel any other moves except the punches. So if you do a move and don't give it enough time to recover before releasing LK the bike kick won't happen.

Does this work differently for the other "button release" special moves? I think some of them can activate while you are blocking... and I think most of them work while you are crouching.

Kano's Cannon Ball I think you can do while crouching, but not blocking. You can't do any while blocking I think.

i don't think you can. I tried the cannonball and the bike kick right after releasing block and it wouldn't work. I hope you don't have to wait for the block animation to finish before pulling something off.
