Stand+1 whiffs after hitting with down+1

Highs function differently in this game due to the difference in the blocking mechanic.

If you do a d1, a high doesn't jail in this game like it would in MKX.

So whenever you do a high you always have to worry about your opponent just mashing d+2 through it?

If you can never guarantee they at least have to block it then whats the point of of jabs outside of punishing?

Yes.

You can guarantee they block something, just don't use a high attack. Use a mid.

Unlike MKX, d1s can lead to full combos in this game so you CAN use them for pressure and use them as your fastest punish.

Not gunna lie this is the most frustrating thing for me about this game. Idiots just mashing down jab no matter what. And none of my characters have a fast enough mid to do anything about it. So when both our characters are touching each other I just have to constantly mash D1 as well, resulting in a clumsy looking D1 war.

I only used to get hit by them because sinestro had no reliable way of breaking armor. However, I could stand outside its range and make it whiff.
