Tutorial - IAFB (Instant Air Fireball)

[RAYBAANN]

So guys, finally I learn this f***ing move, the execution is hard as hell, but with practice, everything is possible. You have to jump forward, then (EXTREMELY FAST) BF+1...but here is the difficult: the timing on the fireball must be perfect, execute it just after the jump animation starts!!! A video of mine with some examples and combos:

 

[Kiss the Missile]

I don't see the usefulness. It looks much slower than his standing fireball.

 

[RAYBAANN]

Nope, is faster, try to do it and compare both

Someone call Ninjakilla_212

I mean wtf holy shit they LEFT THIS IN?! Didn't NRS see what happened with Dragon's Fire LK in MKX?!

 

[Train]

I was trying with regular jump up and I couldn't make it work... will try this on fightstick or hitbox ..maybe will be easier to do

 

[Shirakani]

You have to jump forward here, regular quick neutral jump gives you a short hop.

Those combos look awesome, but 330 dmg for 2 bars isn't that great.

True, but the only purpose was showing an IAFB in combo

 

[PapaRegadetho]

Possible,but really hard. Kitana's IAFB's is much easier simply because its a quorter circle motion instead of back forward. NRS changes inputs, almost NEVER for a quality of life reasons. They changed the input for the low fireball to a quorter circle back motion, but left the high fireball stay the same. WHY???

Didn't mean to come off as unappreciative. Thanks for the heads up though. I actually got a full screen IAFB into Dragon kick krushing blow in a match last night.

I think it's actually easier to do IA fireball with the hop than diagonal jump IA fireball.

It's easier, but slower...
