Best no meter combo off of a 1/2 AA?

Best I can do is F3,2-RK-F3,2-SC but I have to hit them REALLY high in their jump arc so I'm looking for something a little more consistent.

Its the first F3,2 giving me problems,not the second one.

1/2, F22 RK could solve the problems you're having.

When you guys say "1/2", are you referring that you can AA with EITHER 1 or 2?

Yes.

I hate to be "THAT GUY" (no I don't), but @underthemayo has made all his kenshi videos so that new people can WATCH them, and not waste server space with threads like this. PLEASE, I implore you to look for the Mayo videos for future questions, and if they don't help, then ask in the question thread. Thank you.

That's why there's a question and answer thread.

@Derpin Errday

You could of asked me.

P.S.
Everyone knows BF2 is da bestest aa combo.

i use (aa)1, dash d1 (or 4) rk f22 sc

1 is actually 10 frames, and 2 is actually 12 frames, but I do still agree that it depends on the distance of your opponent. Also, if you are expecting a jik, the hitbox on 2 "appears" (maybe this is just me getting lucky) to be better suited to stuff those.

Hey guys. I'll just repost what I have in the Guide To Optimal Combo Damage:

Mid-screen Anti-Air

Kenshi's standing 2 jab is a great AA tool when spaced correctly. It has an absurdly far horizontal reach, but it's kind of slow (12 frames). Due to the speed of it, and Kenshi's high hitbox, it doesn't make for a great reactionary AA tool. However, if you're baiting or expecting a jump in, standing 2 will destroy your opponent in the air. It stuffs jump kicks, and it leads to good damage.

There are plenty of variations on AA combos, but I only recommend one:

2, Dash D1 RK, F2 2 B2 - (22%) or F3 2 SC at the end

You can do other follow-ups after 2, such as 2 1 RK or F2 2 RK, but sometimes they'll whiff if your opponent was at an awkward height when they got hit. The Dash D1 follow-up lets you follow their falling trajectory with your eyes, use your 6 frame D1 to pick them up, and finish smoothly.

Using a single jab as AA is strongly recommended over inputting 2 RK, or 1 RK or any jab/string canceled into RK before hit-confirming your AA jab. If you let that style of AA get into your muscle memory, you'll struggle against Kung Lao, Smoke, or anyone with additional air mobility like teleports. If they do something to alter their trajectory, your RK won't register and an additional jab will come out from the button input. You'll leave Kenshi swinging wildly in the air, as your opponent appears behind you to punish.

You can get away with using 2 1 RK as AA all inputted together, with the first hit AAing them, and the rest of the inputted string automatically juggling. But in the Kung Lao matchup especially, he can teleport before you hit him, and again you'll be swinging wildly and get punished. That's why you want to stick with single AA jabs into hit-confirm. Because if somehow you miss, you can immediately go to a defensive position.


Corner Anti-Air

2, 2 1 B2, 3 RK, Dash 3 TF, D1 SC - (35%)

2, RK, 3 RK, 1 1 4 SC - (27%)

D1 RK, 2, 3 TF, 1 1 4 SC - (27%)


(AA Corner Hybird)

2, F2 2 B1, D1, Dash 3 TF, D1 SC - (30%)

I'll also say that getting used to simply dashing D1 RK after your AA jabs is very helpful due to the fact that not all your AA jabs are going to be intentional. Sometimes you jab and they happen to jump, and you accidentally AA them. F3 is 15 frames and is gonna miss if you try that as your followup on reaction. So if D1 RK is already in your muscle memory, you're gonna followup every time.

2 > 2,1,RK > f+3,2 SC = 26% midscreen is the one I use.
