How do you guys do certain moves in fighting games? Mainly Capcom vs SNK 2 i.e Terrys power geyser or Geeses Raising Storm. The motions for those supers I cant quite pull out fast enough or at all sometimes. Also for some odd reason I can pull of QCF,HCB motions easy but QCB,HCF take time or don't come out. Can anyone help me how to effectively position my hand or how to do the motions in a short way?

I used to have the same problem. Just keep practicing and it won't be uncomfortable or slow anymore.

I practice and all but I still got that damm problem. Is their a faster way of doing them? I am just sick of not getting my supers out fast enough. My Geese is pretty badass but I can't take out the damm Raising Storm quick enough or at all sometimes. Same goes for my Terry his freaking Power Geyser motion I can't really do quick enough or at all.

I can honestly say I have never had this problem before except when I went to a sucky arcade that dosen't fix thier stuff ever. I like going to familyfun arcade because thier prices are top notch and they fix the buttons and joysticks every week. I hold the joystick tightly with my whole hand wrapped around it like it was a baseball bat. but I've been playing longer and more frequently than most of you also... I grew up playing before I could even reach the joysticks buttrock

For the qcb-hcf or qcf-hcb motions, why don't you try doing half circle motions both ways? Like hcb-hcf or hcf-hcb? Also, you must perform the motions with some speed, otherwise they won't work.

Thats what I used to do to get Kyo's DMs out in KoF'95 when I first played it. After a while, I had the motions down and pulled them off without a problem on the 'sticks. Right now I'm still trying to pull off the DMs in Real Bout FF, those are very tricky motions... :mad:

However, I draw and write often, so I'm skilled at manipulating things with my hands, its just different for everyone, I think.

Yay I got my own AV!

I only draw with my right hand. I don't see how that could help with joystick manuevering. Also I never had any problems even before I drew. When I was 12 I could bust like no one else. and I hadn't started drawing till I was at least 15...

Yeah, I write and draw righty too... But I use both hands when sculpturing clay or building models. And I can paint lefty as well... smirk

The point was, some people may have better/finer control over their hands than others, and have the coordination that comes with years of using them often. Not everyone does.

For example(not to imply anything), I don't think a construction worker who works with a jackhammer all day has the same control and precision as say, a person who fixes watches with tweezers and magnifying glass.
