guys I have an idea
how about you do the gentleman at the right time so it doesn't matter if you do rapid punches.
Or you could time it. I suppose.

and if you truely believe isai uses AAA+Z, which is the SS way to do it, wouldnt his light sheild pop up every time he did it? have you ever seen his light shield pop up when hes done it? i rest my case.

No you didn't rest your case. You've got your facts wrong.

AAA+Z doesn't pop up a light shield.

SS uses AAZ, which does have a light shield..

YOU ARE DOING IT WRONG.

AAZ involves hitting A then A then holding Z until the lightshield coms up.

AAA+Z involves hitting A then A then (A+Z) AT THE SAME TIME.

So just stop, you're wrong D:

hmm your right, so you dont hold A+Z ok then that makes more sence, my bad guys, but i dont get why theres all these ways to do it if you can just do AA hold A which is the easiest and fastest to do

See that's the thing.

What you said is an opinion, and everyone is entitled to one. You can't definitively say that one way is easier than the other. People would just argue all day.

For me at least if it really is just about timing (hard to believe but I'll roll with it). I guess for me A,A, A+Z just makes the timing "natural" for me. I feel like I'm just spamming the button presses and it always stops providing the first 2 punches hit. Whenever I try to do it with just A I fail like 90% of the time. I guess using A,A,A+Z forces me to concentrate enough somehow to make the timing just fall into place. I'm not saying A,A, A+Z is the best way, but you should use whatever makes your internal timing work the best.

And Jona you really shouldn't make any sort of instruction video if you can't match the speed of the exact same move in competition, let alone be able to do it consecutively. It's understandable if you like making videos and want to put yourself out there. But you should at least get consistent with what your learning first before trying to showcase it, unless you have a problem doing it yourself and want help.

actually to tell you the truth when im fighting in an actual competetion, ive never missed it, i perform better under pressure then just without it. i dont know why but when i want to train and practice gentleman-ing,so to speak, it just doesnt work out the way i want it to.
