More damage???

I'm probably not the first person to discover this but since I've never seen it mentioned anywhere before I figured I'd share.

I was messing around with Kabal on MAME. Did a JK on the grounded opponent into a spin, AAHP,HP JK Fireball. 36%. I then did a JK into a spin, jumped OVER the suspended opponent and continued the same combo and got 59%. Doing that combo from an anti-air JK only lands 54%. This is pretty drastic damage for a ground start combo. Holy shit.

Oh shit, you just have to wait for them to fall out of the spin... why does this work?

Disregard that bullshit. I've read the guide a million times and never caught that somehow.

Damage protection goes off when the character drops. Thats why.
