I've been coming to the TYM forums for a while now, and I figured it was time I get in on the action. I do have a question, but first a little background on my fight game situation: A dude at work built an arcade machine, brought it to work, and we now play UMK3 on MAME during lunch breaks. It has gotten pretty heated, as we are all improving. So now I'm completely addicted to UMK3 and have been playing IGAU as well. Splurged and got a TE fight stick and all that jazz.
Anywho, atm I am trying to figure out what a 'Standing HK' is. I was looking through the UMK3 forums for anti-air tactics, and several people suggested mastering standing HKs. I cannot find a clear explanation of what that is anywhere. At first, I thought it was UMK3 specific and was going to post in the UMK3 forum, but in my search for a definition I have come across a similarly named move in SF forums. So now I don't know where to post this question, and I have managed to thoroughly confuse myself. I might be over-thinking it here, but it is my understanding that this move is not the same as a normal HK. I have also seen it written as 's.HK'.
I came across this statement a while ago:
..."The problem is, it seems hard to find tutorials for real newbies (those who don't know the difference between a hk and a standing hk, and have no idea what an anti-air is and how it work )"
Before I read that statement, I suppose I would have just thought it was literally just an HK from a standing position. But then why not just say 'HK'? My confusion started to set in at that point. I have seen standing HKs mentioned in a bunch of places. The more I comb the interwebs, though, the more confused I get. Taking some context from one thread somewhere, I started thinking it was an anti-air tactic where you HK the opponent right as they are about to land, so that they are still technically in air damage-wise, but the hit plays out like they were standing on the ground. I guess it could also just be an HK while the opponent is in air, and maybe that's what differentiates a standing HK from a normal HK. So basically, I have no idea.
Sorry for the wall of text, but any explanation would be greatly appreciated. I'm sure it is painfully simple. Beyond that though, looking forward to learning from everybody and stepping up my fight game.

UMK3 has a High Kick and Low Kick button, and they can be both used crouching as well to get different kicks.
