Hey Giantbomb SSF4 community, I've been playing SF4 for about three months now, just sort of in a weekend warrior, not-so-serious kind of way. I'm not great, but I'm not absolute trash either.
I've just decided to get really into it, and get good, on a higher level of play. I'm starting to learn combos, apply basic theory, and so on. However, my main enemy for getting into where I really want to be skill-wise is the FADC.
I main Cody, and as you probably know if you've seen good Cody play, one of Cody's main combo hooks is the roundhouse ruffian kick, FADC into ultra, or into Neutral-jump fierce. However, I can't get it down for my life. I started trying to pull it off about a week ago on and off in some warmups before I play, but to no avail. I just figured out today how to dash out fast enough to think about getting a move off. Granted, my execution isn't extremely good, but it's competent, and I feel like I need to know how to do this to play a really good cody.
So my question to you, community, is how do you practice and get good at FADC? Is there something about Cody's moves that makes his FADC combos hard to pull off? Do you have a ritual for getting good at the FADC, or a way you did it? I was thinking about practicing with Ryu's shoryuken/FADC into ultra to get the timing down, since his seems somehow more manageable. I might be making that up though.
Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.
