How do I perform a shoryuken motion on the 3DS?
I know the shoryuken motion is denoted by the following image:
My question is, how do I properly input this motion? I've tried following the z-shaped shape on my Circle Pad but I can never seemingly pull off any Shoryukens at all. I find that the most common time I've ever pulled one off was randomly mashing buttons and rotating the circle pad. I know that the motion is a Forward, Down, and Forward-Down
Any help here? What's the easiest way to perform one?
Solution 1:
- Forward
- Down
- Down+Forward and Punch simultaneously.
There's also an input shortcut in SF4:
- Down+Forward
- Down+Forward
which will result in the same thing, but is generally less reliable. Turn on 'show input' in training mode to see where you're going wrong.
Solution 2:
That looks like the symbol for Forward, Down, Foward+Down.
You can see the explanation for these icons here on the Controls page.
Solution 3:
Formally the dragon punch notion is done by executing the following motion:
Forward, neutral, down, down-forward
Note the neutral, this essentially means that you must let go of the joystick for a brief moment before executing the down and down-forward.
