Dragonpunch motions in combos.

Yo, I was hoping for some executional advice on DP motions that don't come from neutral stick postions.


I have no real problem doing any DP move from stand, the thing that doesn't really work out for me is comboing into them, especially from crouching normals. Basically I either don't get the motion out fast enough or it's not clean.
For example when I try to do cr.lp, cr.lp x DP, I have to go from d/db/df to f, d, db which just takes me too long and feels pretty awkward mechanically too. If I try to do it fast I either screw up the clean inputs so that it doesn't work or overdo it and get a 2xqcf instead.



Is there any advice that can be given for my problem? I know of the shorter inputs like df, df and such but I don't really want to get used to them, since I feel it will cripple me for games or characters where they don't work.

I also know that the most basic answer for this would be to just slowly do it over and over again until it works properly. My issue is that I'm not sure where to start and don't want to pick up bad execution by brainlessly doing inefficient motions over and over.


Thanks in advance.
