Like who? I fail to see which character really relies on uppercuts to win.JulianH1001 said:uppercuts are important to some characters as things like anti-airs
I have noticed that most of the characters with GOOD uppercuts have better AA options; Johnny Cage is another example.This is true, but it still would be cool to know. Just is something I've never seen discussed.
I challenge this. Sektor's Uppercut is crazy fast.According the the frame data project, the fastest uppercuts are:
Kung Lao : 7 frame uppercut
Johnny Cage: 7 frame uppercut
Nightwolf: 7 frame uppercut
Sonya: 7 frame uppercut
Stryker: 7 frame uppercut
Liu Kang: 9 start up
Baraka: I'm not sure how much start up frames he has but his uppercut has crazy range and can even hit at sweep range.
The rest of the characters are 10+ start up I think. No idea about recovery frames but they're all safe on block anyway.

It's a good anti-air and reliable punish option if it's under 10 frame start up. But other than that it's not something I use too often.

But why would you use Sektor's uppercut as an AA when you can just use JIK into TU or flame for superior range? I mean, that's the issue here, I just can't see when an uppercut is actually viable when it seems like everyone has better options.I challenge this. Sektor's Uppercut is crazy fast.
I don't think the TS wants to break down the practicality of the Uppercut - I think he just wants to know what uppercut is fastest, what covers the most range, you know, the best uppercuts from top to bottom.But why would you use Sektor's uppercut as an AA when you can just use JIK into TU or flame for superior range?
