k so i've just picked up fox and i've found (chains aside) he's really fun to play. speed reminds me of melee, a _little_ bit. </flameshield>
anyway, i've been having problems picking up the JJC. i can't do it consistently. what i've been doing is tapping 'A' twice, and then trying to crouch cancel, but ~80% of the time when i press 'down' fox chun-li's his lighting kicks.
maybe the game senses that i'm 'holding A' on my 2nd tap, but i swear i'm pressing 'A' shorter than i would a SH.
what i've found is a _little_ more consistent is holding 'A' after pressing it (till the 2nd jab/straight comes out) and releasing while holding down to cancel it.
is there something i'm doing wrong? or is there a more efficient way to do it? help, plsthx.
I'm not incredibly knowledgeable on the mechanics of the jabs, so other people may explain this better...
but, to make sure your question gets answered...
At least for me, pressing the A button twice in quick succession will always trigger the rapid kicks... there's a timing that will allow you to jab twice, and not rapid kick (A > wait > A), but it is slower than you should be doing JJC.
It's quite a lot easier, and a bit faster, to do it the second way you stated. Just hold A for the two jabs, then cancel it.
If this still goes to rapid kicks, try holding A a little bit less time, or waiting a bit before you try to do another JJC.
If you hold the control stick diagonally away (it's a little bit tricky to find the right place), instead of down, Fox will crouch, but can jab from the crouch, meaning you can do multiple JJCs simply but pressing A, with no control stick input, other than keeping it tilted down.
I actually prefer to just jab twice, then hold forward or shield and grab from that (rather than crouching... but I don't use multiple JJC's very often, since they are incredibly DI-able, and FL is excellent at anti-combo DI for some reason...
