past week or so ive been piddling around on ssfiv trial mode. this was taken for chun-li, since ive had the past three completed for a long time now. been stuck on challenge 23.
jhk, shp xx ex fireball xx level 2 focus attack
DASH FORWARD (they never ever tell you this and it screws me over more often than not), back mk, mk, down up mk, ultra 1.
now i could do the first part up to the focus attack. and i could do the second part with the mk "target combo" into ultra. but i couldn't link the focus attack into back mk. this is partially what makes trial mode into TRIAL AND ERROR mode. because they tell you what needs to be done...but never fucking explain how. it's just simply, ex fireball, focus attack, back mk.
in reality, it's level 2 focus attack followed by a forward dash. but no, you just have to know that automatically. that alone, in my opinion, makes trial mode's originally intend purpose to help teach new players, into something you have to look up on youtube first to know what the fuck to do. because, i spent 40 fucking minutes doing that trial. went to youtube, and 5 tries later i finished it after getting the proper information.
as to whether i get any more of those gold medals, probably. you can see i have some 81% completion, and there's a pretty healthy roster. there's quite a few characters with like two or three challenges left (off the top of my head, dhalsim, dee jay, cammy), so i guess ill be here again when i decide to grind those out.
ANYWHO i got my chun flag, which is disappointing because the gen and bison flags look a lot better. still it's a bit weird if im rocking a gen flag and im currently playing chun.
