Street Fighter IV Square Gate Spinning Pile Driver Technique Tutorial

Note: This is intended for beginners and people trying to transition from American-style sticks to Japanese-style sticks.

How to perform a Spinning Pile Driver differently (easily) with a square-gated, Japanese-style arcade stick... like the Hori and Mad Catz SE or TE sticks.

During the demonstration, it appears as if I am cutting away the video, but if you notice... the Spinning Pile Driver animation is a cutscene. This video is not fake. Try it on your square gate stick and you will see for yourself.

This only works on SFIV. They must have changed how to input Spinning Pile Driver commands. COMMENTS WELCOME... LOVE OR HATE!!!

Did u mod ur stick because it wasn't that color last time?

[patrkcirtap]

he has the tournament edition in this video..so no

[shinobixtc]

i was holding a TE in the beginning... but i think he was referring to the stick i was using during the demonstration... which is a modded SE

[shinobixtc]

actually i DID mod my standard stick with new parts... but i have like 7 or 8 different styles/brands of joysticks.. i was holding the TE in the beginning but i used a modded SE in the demonstration

can you be able to show how to do akuma's air fireball (jumping in and jumping back) using the square gate? it feels really weird for me when i try the input

[shinobixtc]

I'm sorry... there are no shortcuts for fireballs/hadoukens. There are no tricks to Akuma's air fireball... you just have to practice the hadouken motion once you have jumped. Try jumping straight up and doing a fireball, first. Once mastered, angled jumps with fireballs (during a match) should be easier.

I just converted to stick, and am having a bit of a hard time. Your videos are really helping me out. i appreciate it.

Yo man can u plz plz show how to do 720 with zangief' thx

[imsoKamaji]

Awesome vids man. Do you have any tips for Gief's super/ultra? Double spinning piledriver motion? I can do it from jumps and wakeups, and sometimes coming out of a focus attack, but can't for the life of me pull it off when I'm just standing there. Is it possible to avoid jumping and do a 720 (I think only 540 is needed, but still) without jumping?

Ignore that Hori comment... Stupid iPad app. That was meant to be a search!

Hori vlx

Haggar spinning piledriver is more powerful

[luketav]

HAHAHA i thought this was gonna be how to really do it, not some game :L

[shreddybits]

@FriedxTofu same thing, twice as fast.

[boshahad2020]

Thanks bro

Man, this is great for standing 360's, but what about when you are cr. blocking. Going to up-forward is only 5 inputs, need 6. If I buffer a normal i can do a full 360 motion, but if I'm punishing like a slide from down back, how can i apply this shortcut?

[FriedxTofu]

hopw do u do the 720 motion for the ultras?
