Normally I have no issues with ultras but I can't consistently get an opener to work for Cinder. I've been using <-, ->, X, but sometimes it seems like it just hits instead of starting a combo or I fireball in the opposite direction.

How do you start combos with Cinder to get the ultras to work consistently.

I didn't. That's why they chose Cinder for this objective, as he is a character not built around combos. He's built around an opener, auto then a buff ender.

The only real way I consistently got it, was to save two full shadow bars for the end. When they got to 30% health, I'd use a bar to create an opening with

. If it landed, I'd use the second and then do the ultra.

If I thought I'd fail, I would lose so I could restart. This took me two hours, as I failed twice on 7 and once on 6...each time missing the ultra and killing him

Great advice saving the shadow meter; it's much easier to ultra off the shadow move.
