in MK i was big into standing resets, especially ones with advantage.
taking away your opponents wake up options is always a plus for a character to have.
so as we are all breaking down IGAU please post any methods of resetting the opponent from a juggle to take away there wakeup your character has and ill edit them to OP.
(will fill in the ones ive found for now)

  • Aquaman -
  • Ares - up+trait
  • Bane -
  • Batman - MB straight grapple *
  • Black Adam -
  • Catwoman -
  • Cyborg -
  • Deathstroke - sword spin
  • Doomsday -
  • Flash -
  • Green Arrow - ice arrow
  • Green Lantern -
  • Harley Quinn - play doctor
  • Hawkgirl -
  • Joker - acid flower
  • Killer Frost - MB command grab *
  • Lex Luthor - MB vacuum *
  • Nightwing -
  • Raven - demon stance event horizon, then let drop
  • Shazam -
  • Sinestro - final shackles
  • Solomon Grundy - MB swamp hands *
  • Superman - MB breath *
  • Wonder Woman - IA amazonian smash
*= cannot be used twice in same combo to end in reset,
generally used mid combo and combo will be finished but they reset to standing from a juggled state so they make the cut

Cool thread, I like these too as I also played Baraka. I think that Ares's is situational by the way, depending on opponent's position. If he's getting juggled, the falling ax only stands him up sometimes.

yea the ares one was dropping few times when i tried it, i think its the down sword rather than down axe that does the reset.
seen it in a pre-release video and was just messing round with that and others in training mode.

Lasso- jump attacks in her bnb when done at low height can be cancelled into db3 amazonian smash that causes a standing reset.

Raven: in demon stance, Event Horizon's (db2) MB gives a standing reset if you don't attack the opponent while they're suspended in the air. You are also at an absolutely massive advantage, and can time cross-up jump-in kicks to coincide with when the opponent hits the ground, go into combos, b3 or f3, etc.

Credit to Mr. Mileena for this one.

Flash can in the corner, string xx df1 (mb), 32. Part of the 32 whiffs if timed right. Pretty worthless because you lose so much damage and it seems like youre at neutral, but still, its there lol.
