I hatelove this game
"Waits for @Tony at Home to play against a Tanya for part 2"
Im actually specifically avoiding characters that seem designed to be super hard to AA. I never liked it, but if NRS designs a character to be hard to anti-air, well that's what they should be.
You anti aired me with a jab earlier, impressive.
Almost impossible online...
Kenshi does have beastly AA's.
The reason why you don't notice is because you don't see it often, even though it constantly happens? Don't understand? Ok I'll explain. Since all it takes is one jip landed to turn it into a full combo from a 50/50 into a wall carry and half the health is gone, you may only see a couple of jump ins per round from each character. That doesn't make them less overpowered, it's just that the potential result from jumping in is so great that it limits the amount of times you see it.
Now that's when you know your AA is bad lol.
you say that now...
I can't have constant control of where I am in anticipation of a jump that may or may not come. It's helpful to whiff punish a jump, but I can't ALWAYS be right outside my opponents jump range. Many times an opponent is going to jump at me at a range where I can just back out of it.
I actually went over this. Alot of jumping attacks have REALLY long active hitboxes. It's not uncommon for jump backs to remain active until the opponent hits the ground. This means you have to delay your tripguard too much to avoid getting hit by the residual active frames, at which point your 12+ frame advancing normal won't punish anything.
This won't happen on reaction
I shouldn't have to spend meter to anti-air if I've spaced everything properly. I really feel like my D2 smacking the opponent in the face should be sufficient.
I shouldn't have to do this. At this point it then becomes pretty much a guessing game as to if the opponent is going to press their button before or after yours.
In what world is this ok? Lol.

I get the whole risk reward thing, and I've admitted that jump ins are strong. I just think right now people are overreacting seeing as the game is still brand new. There's another couple things I want to address with what you're saying.I can't have constant control of where I am in anticipation of a jump that may or may not come.

I refer to the air-to-air meta-game as "Jump Jousting". Everyone just jumps in the air, and hopes their punch comes out first.
Even if your D2 is successful, you are going to net 9% after the trade is counted for, after risking taking 30%+ damage.
I mean, they're all good suggestions in certain situations, but it only serves the point that
1) Anti-airing is EXTREMELY more difficult, and less reliable than jump ins.
2) For that extreme risk, there's EXTREMELY less reward for winning against the jumper.
When you think of it, even when certain suggestion like "D2" actually work, you need to hit 4 of these successfully, just to justify missing 1 and getting full-combo'd because the damage advantage after a trade is severely lack luster.
