Strategy How To Deal With Opponents Who Cross Up

[CYracks]

Cage has it really easy with his option select b3. Sub can use 2 pretty easily against crossups.

Cage's B3 is an option select? Please explain

 

[Qwark28]

also if pig doesnt dash under crossups, if he did youd see a lot more rising karma.

 

[Insuperable]

Kung Lao: Spin, 2, d1, d3, x-ray
Ermac: d1, d3(lowers hitbox), lift (dash), d1, jk teleport
Reptile: elbow dash, elbow dash then slide, d1, d4
Jade: Ex Glow, d3(lowers hitbox), d1
Nightwolf: ex choke, d1, 1
Cyrax: AA Grab, d1, d4, 1
Noob: jk teleport, d3, 2, upknee, dash b1[21]
Sektor: 1, jk teleport
Jax: d1, AA grab, ex overhead smash, 1 (dash),
Kano: d1, upball, ex straightball
Stryker: d1
Shang Tsung: d1, d3(lowers hitbox), ex soul steal
Baraka: d1, d4, spin
Kabal: Ex Dash, d1, 2
Kratos (lol): parry, D1, 2, ex dash
Sheeva: d1, ex grab
Quan Chi: d1
Skarlet: d1, ex red dash, d3
Rain: d4 (dash), ex RH, ex geyser, ex squirtlesquirtlesquirtle

That's all I can think of atm. I'm really tired ;_;

EVERYONE can d1 aa crossups into a full combo. Even characters that instantly loose for pressing d1. This is well know for YEARS now.
Like holy fuck guys how free is TYM? I'm really disappointed here, this is some super basic stuff.
Maybe we need a complete video guide

d1 is probably the WORST option to AA in the entire game.

Kitanas d1 is only good against grounded opponents that isht is unreliable to stop the cross over because she actually extends her hitbox which is saying "YES HERE LET ME MAKE IT EASIER FOR YOU TO HIT ME"

not all d1s are equal.

xKhaoTikx what about Kitanas standing 3. Dat hitbox tho

judging from your posts this year, especially some in the subzero forums, you have no right to call anyone free.

just sayin.

one important thing about reversed inputs is a mental block, noticed this with kung lao, cant reverse his spin on crossups because i catch myself hesitating when im doing the exact same thing with CSZ but just pressing 2 instead of 1.

Kitty's d1 does work. Like you have to time guys. I shouldn't have to say that

 

[MashPotatoTower]

Just d1, go for it or get out of the way. Simple as that

LOL

 

[zaf]

Keep d1-ing my cross ups, and ill jump kick you into combo

D1 is not an end all answer, some characters need more then just d1

MashPotatoTower

this, when the concept of crossups not being free gets in your mind, you start to see just how good jumpkicks really are

i abuse this all day long with kung lao, crossup jk dk combos FOR FREE just because people see antiairing crossups as something groundbreaking and top-tier thus having no downsides.

one of the reasons PL is considered so good.

 

[Illmatix]

zaf is it possible to AA D2 on reaction to a crossup? i always read for it. sometimes i get stuffed out because it's kinda slow.

 

[Qwark28]

LOL

hes trolling

no, changing positions fucks shit up if its done on reaction.

just dash out and lift

 

[Illmatix]

just dash out and lift

word, what about dat aa jumpkick?

 

[MashPotatoTower]

I'm not trolling.
I blow up cu Jik all the time. Just move under it and d1. Honestly guys you make me want to cry

 

[Qwark28]

word, what about dat aa jumpkick?

very viable and good

 

[Seapeople]

Cage's B3 is an option select? Please explain

If he's trying to f3 and you cross him up it will come out as b3.

were talking when stationary.

if youre moving under it then you're better off doing f21 for a launcher combo.

 

[Qwark28]

If he's trying to f3 and you cross him up it will come out as b3.

subzero can also do that with b2

but usually its done from a backdash 22 and you get your brains blown off while watching yourself do b2 instead of 22

Yeah I hate when that happens. If only b2 was like 30 frames faster it might work lol.

i got off of losers brackets in a local by accidentally getting b2 but it has very weird properties and the jip that hit me didnt even link to a combo therefore giving me a free punish after my opp input 321 dash on reaction to the jip hitting

 

[STB Sgt Reed]

D1 is the definitive anti cross up attack this is global. Period

Play Sub Zero and get back to me.
