nope almost did though.
you can complain about Ryu all you want, but he probably has the worst matchup chart out of all the top tiers. He's strong but it's not like he's beating any characters 7-3. This isn't me saying the character is bad, just that he's honest and has more 5/5 or 5.5/4.5 matchups than any other character in the game. Even the low tiers generally have decent matchups vs him since he's who they're balanced around.
id prefer if heavy air attacks just crush countered lights every time. So you could go for the jab on a read to get the mixup, or get punished for 400 dmg.
of course not. Why would he pick into a bad matchup when Nash destroys gief.
Honestly, I like the idea of not being able to jump so easily. I think a lot of characters in general need AA improvements. Cuz there are some pretty dumb jump ins as well, and missing an AA jab is surprisingly a lot easier than you'd expect vs certain characters due to how their jump ins are. Like, I've gone to AA jab Cammy on numerous occasions, only for her to stick out a different normal and throws off my timing for the jab, and I get hit for a chunky BnB.
You never know, sometimes people are stubborn.
cammy's jump ins are the worst in the game man. just dp/fierce like the rest of us.
ill agree. The only reason I jab instead of ryus other options is to get the mixups. But yeah it's hard vs cammy so I usually just got for dp or party vs her. I do tend to find Mikas jump lk and Alex's jump hk hard to jab as from some ranges as well, so again I just dp.
Ooooor I can just crHP anyway.
it's just weird that thing you're asking for being implemented with jabs already exists with your dedicated aas. you dont get crossunder for free. so why not just take jab aa out? youre saying its inconsistent with some jumpins so its fair, but a reason to keep it is consistentcy? when you have a dp?Ooooor I can just crHP anyway.
And Cammy jump ins are awkward to AA is all. I'm not even saying they're good. Just awkward. And it's not even just Cammy this happens with.
I thought about this a while ago, but figured some characters would end up doing insane meterless damage for AAs.
Because that's the only thing wrong with it IMO. I don't see a problem with it, is all. If anything, I'd wanna see a lot of jabs buffed in hitboxes, but nerfed in the reset opportunities. It's consistent, for sure. It works on any anti-air, what I'm saying about it being awkward is just sometimes characters using different jump ins and it alters the hurtboxes and makes it awkward to time sometimes.
In all honesty, for how little reward you get for getting AA'd in most cases without a DP, I'd want it to happen.
