What method of sidestepping is everyone using?

[Prince Adon]

Double Tap for me.

This.

 

[franman]

I would use double tap if it's on control pad.

If it's arcade stick or in this case Hitbox I would use P+G+K.

 

[CatzDaLegit]

I ended up switching from pressing up up or down down because I would actually sidestep by accident and it was messing with my inputs. I now prefer the other method.

 

[Forlorn Penguin]

I use 8H+P+K/2H+P+K. I never even tried 88/22 because it seemed like it could end up happening by accident when simply moving or maybe even doing move inputs. I don't know, 88/22 just doesn't sound good to me. 88/22 is a slower input than 8H+P+K/2H+P+K too.

Also shouldn't this be in the DOA5 forum?

 

[ookamunka]

8/2+3Buttons all the way. Not only do I never accidently get sidesteps that way, but it's quicker to execute.

Am I blind or is there no way to change the sidestep method in the middle of a match (like how you pause and change your control layout)? Seems like you can only change your actual buttons there and not the sidestep method.

Two words...double tap.

I been playing Tekken for so long the double tap method has been something I've been doing for a while so I chose that. I've heard that 2H+P+K/8H+P+K is more effective cause its has a quicker input but idk.

DUBBA TAPP ALL DAY BABYY!

 

[HiguraShiki]

8H+P+K/2H+P+K since it's much easier than double tapping 8 or 2. Trust me, if you guys switch to it, you will be SS'ing moves much easier than before.

 

[Forlorn Penguin]

The only thing I hate about the 8H+P+K/2H+P+K method is that pressing H+P+K without pressing 8 or 2 acts the same as pressing P for some reason. So sometimes, if I accidentally hit H+P+K a nanosecond before 8 or 2 (instead of at the same time) it makes me just do the character's P attack. I wish I could disable that.

I do agree this does happen sometimes, but it's still a hell of a lot easier than accidently sidestepping due to 22/88.

I play on stick and double-tap feels more natural to me.

 

[loralei]

for me. seems so blocky to me! I usually side step on instinct, and i usually find it easier to go for two buttons than three all at once.

 

[Tokkosho]

^ you can set those 3 to one button

I know, but even when I input I end up going for both buttons rather than the button I set it to. Muscle memory, I guess, since thats what it I did playing DoA growing up.

It's strange, but it very much depends on the attack for me. For example, with Ryu:
4P+K=Press P & K
1P+K=Press P & K
2P+K=Press L1
5P+K=Press L1
6P+K=Press L1
236P+K=Press P & K
