How to not ruin a perfectly good attack with an accidental input command?

[Rango the Mercenary]

Several times today, I found myself floundering because I turned a Bair into a Tatsu. How do you keep things like this from happening?

Use the C-stick for your aerials instead.

Either that or let the Control Stick return to normal before Bairing instead of QCB it.

Yeah, you almost have to use the Cstick. Especially for the Bair since its so hard to QUICKLY get the stick to that position without accidentally brushing the angles, setting off Tatsumaki. Part of the reason i always refused to use a Dstick with traditional fighting games, it was way too easy to hit a direction you didnt intend. Thats my biggest curb with playing Ryu is im forced to use the stick and not the pad lol.
