ok wow this helped so much lol, never thought it that way.
It's a hell of a lot easier just swinging the stick around than trying to do dbf/qcbf in a precise manner, especially with the input leniency.
Street Fighter controls helped me out greatly, try things with alternate controls on. Also make sure you have release check off.
I just recently (as in two days ago) began learning Harley as a backup to Raven as some matchups Raven can absolutely not handle well so I need a secondary for now just in case. I just tried play doctor after 1,1 and it's pretty easy. Perhaps it's because I play Tekken and a lot of tactics with the characters I use in that game are done the same (via buffering). Here's how I figured out what to do for it even before I came into this thread. Just make it "almost" "one move". Basically just hit 1,1 and immediately begin doing the dbf motion and hit 1. She should still be at the ass end of her last punch in the string as you're hitting "F" on play doctor and as soon as she finishes you're already hitting 1 again and she does the throw. It may take practice and there's a rhythm to it but it's easy once you figure out how to buffer the motions out of moves. Just make sure not to "panic buffer" which may be why you're getting gunshots instead, you may be over-anticipating or getting so anxious to see it come out that you forget to hit the f motion or are "panic pressing" buttons too fast.
Oh, didn't see this. Well here's something I tried. With Raven some combos didn't hit because of the height I was at when hitting the Jumping 3. instead of hitting jumping 3 IMMEDIATELY I wait till both characters are almost aligned and both beginning their decent from apex, that way I hit the 3, hit the ground before my opponent does when he/she is at "face height" and then I'm doing 11 play doctor. The first few times I missed it was because I did the jump 3 too early and my opponent was getting hit with 11 too high.
