For all the new stick users out there here is a handy tip for doing the various "instant-air" moves in the game, along with some other cancels/moves.
Since MK only cares about cardinal directions (up,down,left,right) you can take some shortcuts on a stick that make it easier to pull off the moves. Lets assume you have a stick with a square gate. If you want to throw sub zeros ice ball the move is d,f+3. Most stick players (and SF players) will make the full qcf motion then 3. so d,df,f+3 before they throw the ice ball. This is unnecessary in mk. You can simply do d,df+3 and the ice ball will come out. What this means for a square gate (like the madcatz te) is you move the stick in an L shape if coming from neutral stick position and character facing right.
You can use this trick to make it easier to cancel into other moves, like sub's d+4 xx clone (d,b+1). The move would go d+4,db+1. So the mirrored L shape if facing right.
Now for instant air moves like mileenas sai. You do her ias by hitting bu,f+1. To make this easier on a stick do bu,fu+1. If you were facing left the motion would look like a 7.
Hope this helps you new stick players!
