Jumping Attacks Hit level Inconsistency

[Bildslash]

I recently found, to my chagrin, that jump attacks (both punches and kicks) don't hit on a fixed level all the time. Sometimes they hit as overheads --just like it is stated on the moveslist-- and others they register as mid attacks.

Basically, if the attacks are done deep through the jump they'll hit as overheads, whereas if done sooner they behave as mids. Maybe I'm late and everyone is already aware of this.

Dude. You know that moves list thing? It'd be nice to read that once in a while. Don't tag Paulo

Im not sure but I think this was done intentionally. Like if you do your air attack early it registers as a mid, but if you're on the way down it is an OH.

Mids on the way up, overheads on the way down. Been known forever.

I already did. But thanks for the contribution.

This was done to prevent instant overheads & among other things...

on the way up it is mid..... on the way down it is overhead... it was intended

I thought this was going to be a thread about how Kitana's jump in punches whiff on crouching opponents.

I thought this was going to be a thread about how FF Liu Kang's air fireball registers as mid at all levels
