Help with d1~special

[Erazor]

The timing on d1~special gives me a lot of trouble, for some reason I can't get it to work. Let's take GA's d1~db2 as an example (release check activated). When standing, I just press d1b2 and it works no problem. When crouching, it doesn't come out whatsoever, even though it's possible to do a db2 from a crouching position by just pressing down+back, back, 2 (without d1). What exactly do I have to press for the move to come out? I thought release check would make it down 1, down+back, back 2...

d1b2 shortcut only works from standing. If you're crouching by holding d, then 1 will still cause d1 to come out, but if you want it to do a special then you either need to release crouch and quickly do d1b2 or hold crouch for 1 and then release for db2.

d1b2 only works because the d input happened very close to the b2 input. By holding down d to crouch for a bit, the window has gone for that d to count as a new button press.

As far as I know, release check only works on attack buttons (123 and maybe 4), not directions.


edit: just hit up practice mode, and quickly releasing crouch into d1b2 is much easier then 1,release d, db2.

It would be godlike if NRS decided to patch in SF4 like cancels, so d1db2 could be done from crouching without having to let go of crouch. But its just me being greedy.
