I understand it perfectly well, I literally just want to know if there is some kind of visual cue I can follow for getting it because whenever I try, it whiffs or I get hit. Am I just being too late? Ugh, maybe I am over thinking it.
Yes, timing is strict though.
Standing 2 for Smoke is one of the easiest anti-airs to do in the game to be honest. The trick is that the move's hitbox is MUCH larger in the vertical direction so you should probably be doing it when your opponent is a little higher than you would with some other anti-airs. If you are whiffing it, you are doing it too early so wait until they get a bit closer to you. You can also work on using b2 as an anti-air from long range if your opponent likes to do empty jumps to move in and close the gap.
No, if you hit 2 as soon as you see the jump animation you will whiff it every single time unless they are literally right next to you when they jump. Basically another way to think about it is to prepare to anti-air as soon as you see them jump then execute it and hit them out of the air when they are next to you. Go to training mode, put the AI on medium or hard and just work on converting anti-airs when they jump at you.
Hit me up on steam ill help you with this its very ez..
We'll try to play when I move to Germany next month.Yes he can. My advice: Do not play Sub-Zero against Smoke.
You will think the MU is 10-0 Smoke when I am done with you.
d1 usually beats jump punches clean, but it takes a lot of practice, missing it = u take a full damage combo. i would say if you're missing the d1 consistently or just getting beat by jump punches you are doing it too late. as for s2, that beats everything, even sonya's dive kick (if it comes out first). it's 9 frames so you should be able to anti air on reaction. it's easy to look for (their jump) because people are worried about d4 or b2. lately, i have been using b2 as an anti air more often, but it's purpose as an anti air is different from s2. it's for stopping their jumping close-mid screen, so dont use it up close hah. it's awesome to "zone" people out because it's range is nuts, it's easy to do on reaction too. if you're playing online, everything i just told you is irrelevant and you must submit to the jump ins lul
Yeah b2 is really good from mid-range or a little further out if they are trying to jump to close the gap. But if you don't space it out right and they throw out a jump kick it will usually beat a b2 clean because the JK has way more priority than our b2.
Yeah, b2 is really good for mid-range empty jumps, especially since there is really no reason for people to be doing jumpkicsk mid-range out of nowhere.
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
