You can actually do it by tapping your buttons three times.  The timeing
is:
   tap [wait for about 1/2 sec], and then tap,tap (as fast as possible!)

move your joystick from left to right (you should have charged the move,
BTW) in between the second and third taps.

PS this works equally well with FIERCE,STRONG,FIERCE combo (standing)
and is a lot more reliable (good to practice fierce,strong,fierce before
doing the triple fierce)

Hope this helps, cheerio!
