How the heck do you do 'up' inputs?

[JaredL]

Deathstroke, Scorpion and a few others have 'up' inputs. B1U2 and F22U3.

I always mess them up. Am I not getting something? In training mode I see I do it right but it doesn't come out. Is there some special method?

well good sir the first thing you do is press up on the D pad............................................................
closed ?

I use my Dpad for combos exclusivelly, it always fails. On the movelist in training mode it says I pressed up and the button... but it doesn't fucking come out.

sounds like you have control mapping issues or a bad controller. Its really not difficult at all, least it shouldn't be

I was thinking I was missing something, since I had real issues with command throws but now I land them very easily because of how I was inputting them.

I don't think its an issue of mapping since it registers as 'up', but it doesn't come out. Its so annoying. I want to play scorpion or deathstroke but I really can't because of this.

Black Adam is oddly fine. He has a lot more time to do the inputs.

maybe your timing is all wrong

How do I time it though? As quickly as possible? I know some inputs you can't rush.

Practice with KF U3

Just press em at the same time at the right time. Try using KF trait loop for practice.

The timing is a little awkward compared to MK inputs, ala Jade and Frost's U3. Same command, but there seems to be a brief beat in Injustice before you finish the input after U where in MK they have to be done rather close together.

With KF I find that my biggest fault is I often do a NJ3 instead of that.

But its a lot better than say, scorpion lex or deathstroke. Those I drop 50% of the time.

I do NJ3 as well, I basically wait a split second longer and it doesnt happen for me.

The down inputs in strings have some input leniency where they will accept down forward or down back also. I couldn't guess why this wasn't implemented for the up inputs in strings.

Raven's got one as well (f22u1) and I don't have any trouble with it. No special delays in the timing, just mash as quick as possible. Only time jump comes out is if I'm super slow inputting the u1.

This is really a thread? I mean really?
Maybe you aren't holding it long enough?
