I gotta disagree with the Overhand Punch  being difficult to land. It's pretty simple: Parry, Hook to Body, Hook to Body, Overhand Punch . Sometimes you ...

Finally, for the Power Roundhouse : At long range only, use a body hook followed quickly by the Power Roundhouse . This one will only land if you are far from your opponent after the body hook lands.

Distance is everything with these. Good luck. Great points GBL. I've already posted above that the reach of both fighters, you and opponent, should be factored into it also. But it seems people to miss my comment lol.

To land the Power Overhand I used this method of 'baiting' with the Jab (throws a Jab from out of range) then parry the opponent's subsequent punch, usually a Jab, and THEN I Jab and wait a few frames before throwing the notorious Power Overhand. The window of time you pause between your Jab off the parry and the Power Overhand depends on the reach of your fighter.. and a little bit of gut feeling. If your fighter has short reach, like Nunes for example, the pause is slightly longer than you would take with say Forrest Griffin, who you can almost immediately use the attack off the Jab. In fact Jab then Power Overhand after a pause (which can be varied, remind you) also works when you are pouring it on rocked opponent.

Power Hook is simpler. You parry then Hook.. nothing complicated unless you got poor reach like Penn, who requires the pause I described above. Also IC Power Hook is much easier since IC moves can be double tapped to double them up in case the first one missed. All you need to do is stand close to your opponent and double tap it. If the first one whiff passes short of the opponent's head, then the second one will land 9/10 times... unless the first one got parried then it's no go.

Hope it helps. :-)
