Top 5 Anti Airs?

[Tweedy]

I don't understand why people think Adam's is so good. It's certainly not bad but imo it's just one of those things, where the character being so good highlights his tools. No one talked about Kenshi's d2 or advancing mids until the last version of the game, but he had those for a long time.

If Cold shot to top tier, people would be talking about his d2 hella, but since he's not great, no one really talks about anything regarding him. If we isolate d2s, his is definitely better than Adam's, tho. So are like half the cast's imo.

Edit: Maybe not half the cast lol. I had to go over it real quick. I really don't see Adam's d2 in the top 5 tho.

Top 5 in the order:

1) Flash
2) Cold
3) Robin
4) Supergirl
5) Not gonna tell

I concur for Cold's D2. This shit KILLS even any diving attack.

The worst is Firestorm's D2.

On the last version of MKX and Inj 2, NRS added an extended hurtbox on jump ins. This is why some anti airs may appear to have crazy hitboxes at times. It's really just the added hurtboxes of jump normals. You can anti air Catwoman from a crazy range, for example.

Black canary has a solid d3 that forces whiffs. Top 5 probably not but certainly mentionable.

 

[DubiousShenron]

Best universal d2s: Aquaman, black Adam, supergrill, captain cold, robin?

I could be forgetting someone, grodd maybe?

Edit: traited blue beetle d2

 

[God'sgift888]

I like Harley's D2 alot. On top of it being a decent AA, It's multiple hits and it breaks armor.

 

[x TeeJay o]

Captain Cold D2
Flash D2
Catwoman D2
Supergirl D2
Scarecrow D2

 

[JDE]

Cold
Flash
Supergirl
Scarecrow
Catwoman
Blue Beetle
Harley
Batman

They all have good D2s.

Thoughts on WW D2?

 

[Lokheit]

The thing is, if it had normal start up frames for a D2 it would be the best in the game free, hopefully they will shave some frames off it

Not really, the horizontal reach is crap (many bare hands D2 have better horizontal and arc reach) and the vertical reach is unnecesarily high (if it didn't reach so high it would be as effective because opponents don't go so high anywau), so even at 9 frames it wouldn't be a top10 D2 because it has worse arc than barehands D2 and the vertical reach isn't a real advantage over other good vertical D2.

At 20 frames the move is just a bad joke.

I've played her on multiverses with the super speed D2 and it still feels slow lol.

 

[RNLDRGN]

ITT: ppl overrating Aquaman's D2. Yes it has a huge hitbox and it's fast, but it trades all the time.

I would put Cold, Flash, Scarecrow, and possibly even GL or Bane on the same level for sure.

 

[Jugghead]

Batman's up-batarang

Batman's up-batarang is awesome and can be MBed into full combo, but its tough to execute on reaction. It usually takes good anticipation, unlike a D2.

 

[Eldriken]

Not one mention of Bane?

Venom uppercut, D2, and AA grab

If you value your health you arent jumping in on Bane

For reeeeeal. God damn.

Phantom hitbox from black Adams d2 is disgusting!
Would him Place even with Aquaman

Adam's d2 is not even close to Aquaman's lol. Of all the tools Adam has, his AA can't contend with any of the better jump ins.

 

[wsj515]

I imagine Blue Beetle's traited d2 has got to be up there

Ok Maybe not as Good as Aqua.
The thing is the Phantom hitbox.
He dont Risk anything. the d2 Hits at ranges were he doesnt is. And thats the thing that should not exist.

 

[xKhaoTik]

Are we talking just d2s or anything that AAs?

Because Black Canary's level 3 is easily one of the best anti airs in the game. Jumping towards, away or even floating, you're getting hit and then losing massive damage into some type of mixup.

 

[SaSSolino]

Swamp Thing's s1 is pretty good too

 

[RNLDRGN]

Swamp Thing's s1 is pretty good too

It's pretty good vs long jump ins. It's not good vs anything close range that may run the chance of crossing up.

 

[thlityoursloat]

Canary d3 is surprisingly good. Heavily low profiles and the attack itself has ridiculous priority.

 

[DubiousShenron]

Ivy's down 2.

My apologies..this thread must be very painful for you

Yeah man her trait is a godlike AA.
I'm talking about all AA's but in this game it seems to be the case that universally D2's are solid AA's

 

[Lt. Boxy Angelman]

Brainiacs db2 is so great if you land it but it doesnt lead to huge combo like AM d2

facts.
and his D2 is great for jump ins, but doesnt do shit about crossups since it doesnt cover anything right above his head.
i guess thats "balance" though.
