Best anti-airing normals Guide

[Arzumis]

Now that the beta has been out for a while and you can anti air much more consistently I thought id get the community's opinion on the best anti airing normals and so maybe this could be a guide. Will update as people post their characters best ones


Jax : s1, s2 ,d2
Quan chi: d3 s2
Cassie: s1 ,s2
Reptile: b1
Ferra/Torr: d3
Kung Jin: s1, u1, d1
Goro: u2
Mileena: piercing b1
Kano: b1( not in cutthroat)
Kotal : b1
Sonya: s3
Takeda: ronin s2
Kenshi's s1, d1,
D'vorah's d2
Tremor's s2, f1, d2.
Shinnok's d2 ,

 

[Asodimazze]

Kung Jin 11, d1

 

[SaltShaker]

What normal AA's Sub-Zero's crossup punch consistently? As in 9/10 times on reaction?

 

[Renzokuken]

Kung Jin has a lot of anti-airing options. I feel like s1 and u1 are some of his best anti-airing tools.

 

[Wigy]

Errons s1 is pretty good no?

Jax's uppercut hits behind his head, i've comboed off it midscreen before. Very good AA

 

[Cameronwinss]

Tanya has ex Drill Kick. If they give her armor on her teleport that'll be better. other than that nothing but a D2, pushing it with a D1

 

[Alright RyRy]

Goro's U2. Hands down (ironic I know) The best AA in the game.

 

[FrankOceansWaifu]

F/T d3 is stupidly good

 

[The Celebrity]

Stanky Leg!

JK it still loses to Lao's JI2.

 

[Damaja325]

Mileena's b1 in piercing is awesome for jump-ins

 

[RM Truth]

Reptile's B1 is still pretty good.

 

[ILuvFightGames]

Sorry for noob question but for example s1=standing 1 right?
U2= uppercut 2 right?

 

[Damaja325]

Sorry for noob question but for example s1=standing 1 right?
U2= uppercut 2 right?

U2 would mean Up+2

 

[ILuvFightGames]

U2 would mean Up+2

Yea makes sense lol, so an AA would actually work by U2 on some characters? I would imagine that would come out way too late. Thanks.

 

[thlityoursloat]

Kano b1
Kotal b1

All decent AA normals can work as far as I know you just have an incredibly small window to make it happen against Sub's J1.

Only a few characters have U2 or or other up input normals. Goro does, but most dont. Liu kang and Mileena also come to mind with U+button normals

 

[virtiqaL]

Takeda d1 and d2 are both great for me. d1 especially for anti-crossups.

 

[SaltShaker]

That's why i said consistently on reaction lol. Only thing I know for sure works to beat Sub's crossup silly punch 9/10 times is D'Vorah's D2. Was wondering if anyone had anything else or if he just pwns crossup city.

 

[MrProfDrPepper]

Whip strike in lasher since it pretty much covers half the screen on both sides of him lol

Reaction no, only psychics can AA his J1 mere mortals require armor. The best way to attempt it is to try and walk back before you AA if you get it just right you take away some of the nastier part of the hitbox, but again this is really hit and miss.

Ronin Takeda standing 2 is reaaaaally good for anti airing. It looks slow but Sonya's standing 3 is really good too. Even completely beats Raidens neutral jump punch as an example.

 

[DoingMahThing]

Ermac D4. Caught Kung Lao's teleport with it and was able to combo afterward. It also works on jump ins
