welcome to the ButtSlam
1.is it still cancelable into a special or the 4 afterwards?
2.what are your controller settings?
i know im not the quoted person but still.

1. it depends, if it's mid screen you can confirm into regular hat spin after 4 only on females (i.e. 112124xxhatspin), you can confirm ex hat spin on both male and females after the 4, also you can only confirm in spins with 11212. in the corner everything can be confirmed ofc.

female hitboxes /facepalm

I get it to come out much more consistantly by plinking 212 but I'm just not as comfortable doing that as I am pressing the buttons individually. U basically have to finish the entire string before the 11 comes out

There are 2 Main methods to do this string,

The first is by sliding your fingers like such : 11, slide from 1 to 2 , 2 to 1, then again 1 to 2

The Second method is by doing 11, then pressing 1+2 and 1+2 again this method is specifically great for stick users.

Learn and Master this string its one of the most important tools kung lao has in his arsenal.
 
For doing this string on STICK, what do you guys find is the easiest way? Just tapping it? How about doing the 12 12 part like you would on a piano? Or is it best to like Jedah said where you tap 1 and 2 at the same time?

I find it very, very easy on a stick. And I don't think there is any trick to it, I just tap it real fast. The way I was practicing it, I mentally separated the input into 3 parts: 11 > 212 > 4, with focusing on doing 212 part as fast as possible, and then just lazily hitting 4 with my ring finger.

Just try to do it in two parts, so do 11 and then quickly do 212. Its one of those strings you have to do over and over before you will feel comfortable with it. I have trouble canceling into hatspin out of it consistently though :/ I need some tips on that llol
 
You guys are making it too complicated with plinking and sliding.
Just practice doing 11212 over and over again as quickly as possible with your thumb.
It took me about two weeks, but now its muscle memory.
