Found a nice guide here that explains quite comprehensively the nitty gritty of the Focus Attack.
I always wondered what it was and how to execute it. (No, I did not RTFM

)

ok just read the article thingy, and while they claim zomg new new newwwwww wackyinflaitableflailingarmman move

its like a combination of stuff from the past, ex cancelling into moves, sf3 cancelling projectiles and hits and dashing and ex gaurd breaking. But i must admit to combine it in such a way as to bring all effects into one would be great.

I can see the return of animation cancelling nastiness a la ex + creating a world of headaches.
like hurricane into uppercut into hadouken supers from air. and setting it up with a projectile cancel, dash ,guard break, hurricane, uppercut,supers. *sigh*

I haven't read it either, took out the crappy Ryu figurine and put the disc in the PS3 and haven't opened the case since. Haven't really read that ~~comic~~ mini strategy guide either.

Wow didn't know Honda that move before. Guess it shows how much I or others played with him.

You can't do any of the things that you mentioned there.

Focus attack is essentially 3 things
1) A ghetto parry (you still take damage but absorb the hit, can only absorb ONE non armor breaking hit)
2) A counter
3) Roman Cancel (from guilty gear, cancel recovery from a move)

Crixx_Creww · « **Reply #144 on:** February 27, 2009, 03:09:33 PM »

but from what that tutorial thingy said you can use the animation cancelling to launch into other moves, if its not as bad as ex+ where you could cancel into other moves brokenly so, then cool.

I have seen the AI do the FADC (Focus Attack Dash Cancel) into a 'rush-in' combo, and then link it into an EX move into an ultra combo (with Ken on the hardest level)...that was a little over half of my health bar gone there. My mouth stayed open for the rest of that match. Needless to say, I did not win.

The FADC is where its at. Perfect that, and well, its 'game over' for your opposition.

WRT FADC into ultra that's mainly for shotos, sagat and cammy (sagat and ryu especially gain from FADC -> Ultra). For everyone else it seems like its just for saving your arse when you do an unsafe move that could potentially lead to a big combo from your opponent.

I play Agokillya last night. Wasnt too bad, his sagat was decent. I get to try out the instant cammy EX overhead thing i been working on too

His spacing generally good and he caught me off guard a few times. Going from CRT to Widescreen screwed up my focus attack distancing though.
