Free Step Dodge

You buffer 66 or 44 during the first attack and then you press up or down during the idle frame and then the next move if you did it right should recovery cancel but it's hard to do consistentlh

It does not work for Kasumi's 2 H+K because it doesn't have a follow up string. It only works for those characters who have follow ups to that input. Strangely enough, Hayabusa is the only character who could do that though his 2 H+K has no follow up, likely due to the leftover coding from DOA4

what's the notation for what you're trying to do? It will help explain it to others as to what you might be doing wrong. You might be confused on how to do it.

I tried doing kasumi's 2 H+K and I tried her 1H 66 2, and she seems to pop up a little quick but not as fast, just alittle.

Yeah, since 2H+K has no follow-up attacks, it cannot be cancelled
