Vice's HSDM (2002)

Has anyone actually connected with this move yet? Damn it's hard to do. I pulled it off ONCE, but didn't connect.

You are aware that the opponent must be in the air in order to catch them, yes? The movement itself is only hard because it is different. Just stay on the ground when you do it (you can jump and do the motion too, but it's easier to think of this as a dragon punch style, snatch them from the air move). However, it goes up for the most part, so your opponent has to be doing a cross over style attack, or jumping in on you very deep for it to work well. I'm trying to pop them up and then do it in a combo, but so far, no luck.

Good luck, and keep practicing for our next battle. <img src="graemlins/smirk.gif" border="0" alt="[Smirk]" />

in practice mode, i pulled it off a lot, but i didn't know the opponent had to be in the air. seems impossible in practice mode

the opponent does not have to be in air to EXECUTE it, but you'll never connect it.

About your hsdm combo, I did qcb+a, then jump up to hsdm in corner. Its not recommended when you play at arcade,, unless you want to practice at home.
