lp, lk, mp or lp, lp, lk, mp ?

[Kageboshi]

This might be a stupid question but... I've been watching a few Yun videos, and sometimes the guys that play yun use lp, lk, mp to start a combo, but other times they use lp, lp, lk, mp . I would like to know under which circumstance would it be better to start a combo using lp, lk, mp instead of lp, lp, lk, mp. I for some reason find it easier to cancel into genei jin from lp, lp, lk, mp, but ... would doing this scale the damage of the genei-jin combo? .

Landing it is mostly a range thing. ie. If you red parry Ken's SA3, the 2nd lp won't connect. I think it's the same if you block, but hey, flashy is good. :tup:

I haven't noticed damage scaling at all on it.

It's just for that extra little bit of damage. Extra damage is always good, but not always necessary. It's not really going to make or break your game if you don't use 2 lps.

only medium and hard punches *and specials etc.* have damage scaling, lp's dont...

I sometimes use 2x lp's, perhaps you get less meter? which is unlikely, but I have experienced it alot; you whiff the 2nd lp and there goes your whole genei jin =(

Thanks for answering my question :D .

Personally I like using lp lp lk mp..sometimes people just stop blocking halfway through because of the extra punch :tup:

Sometimes I opt for regular lp lk mp though, because that extra lp can push away the enemy at crucial distances...so when I don't quite have a lot of reach, I go regular.

I've tried both(although I can only land it coming from the right side[srubby me!]), " lp, lk, mp ..." works best. It's even easier to pull off with a dp+lp ... But chances are, this is probably already common knowledge. I save lp, lp, lk, mp for when the opponent's stunned.

i only do 2x lp when my opponent misses a shoryuken or something

and ye, to the left side is hard at the beginning ;) but in 2 months you'll think: WTF i had problems with that???

[True_Tech]

i fuckin hate the left side, maybe its cause i don't have a comfortable hand position for that side, but i personally do lp x2 whenever i plan to end with a lunge, and just the 3 hits when i chain in, no reason really its kinda my own way of hit confirming the combo, but when i chain in it doesn't matter if they're blocking or not cause i'm gonna activate

i do lp2x after after a nervous wreck parrying, like red parrying ken's st.mp after a cross-up.
but i normally do lp,lk,mp.
and yes,lp lp looks more flashy.

[Misuchiru]

it has the same damage as doing lp lk mp
but doing an extra lp gives you slightly more meter
