I have a hell of a time uppercutting people jumping in. Are there any tips anyone could offer me? Do you guys use the stage backgrounds as a way of figuring distance?
Isn't Liu kang's better?Konqrr said:Cage's uppercut is top tier.
I would definitely use a RH for aa with Baraka. It has more reach and does much more damage than his standing HK. Actually, I've yet to find good use for Baraka's standing HK. You have to time it just a tiny bit better than a ninja RH, but the hitbox is huge.dciguy01 said:You have to understand that certain characters are better at uppercutting than others.
Liu, Lao, Cage, Kitana, and Mileena can uppercut just about anything under the sun.
Everyone else needs to be timed just right to land the uppercut.
For the male ninjas, I recommend using a RH for an AA attack, since they knock out almost any attack aside from maybe Baraka's JK.
For Shang, Jax, Baraka, and Raiden just use a standing high kick and it works the same as the other characters.
I think Kang's is easier to time (i.e. you can respond a split second later than Cage's and still connect) and Cage's seems to have a larger hitbox. Konqrr or one of the other guys who know this shit inside and out will correct me if I'm wrong. I also think Liu's works a little bit better on crossovers, but I could be wrong about that, too.X820 said:Isn't Liu kang's better?
Man I've been thinking the same thing for a longggg time..!Konqrr said:I wish there was a cheat for mame that would display the hitboxes!
YES! i totally agree with you especially with barakas sweep lol..i would like to see lao's spinning move hitbox. 85% of the time i get swept outta that move when i know i beat my opponents sweep. i would look at jax kitana/mileenas jk and cages SUJKX820 said:Man I've been thinking the same thing for a longggg time..!
Would be so cool to see how hitboxes get bigger in a stupid way, like baraka's blade spark sprite, you can sweep him eventhough the hit doesn't (visually) connect lol..!
Also for overall mechanics it would be a great help!
Is that shit even possible?
You need to be in a specific range in the air for it to top priority, the lower you go below that point. .Vassago187 said:my only problem with cages SUJK is that it doesn't connect right away. it seems to need a little more lead time than say Raiden/JaX. Shang is the other one like that.
It's funny that you mention that because a lot of the problems I have with certain moves/timings, I had no problem with in the arcade. Maybe it's just because I'm older now and my reflexes aren't what they use to beK75Boi said:Along with Cage's i think Kitana's Uppercut is top tier. Uppercuts was the first special move (if you will) that i learned in the arcade days. It really hurts peoples feelings when you land one---lol..

1. Liu Kang

3. Kitana / Mileena
4. Baraka
5. Cage
6. Raiden
7. Shang Tsung
8. Male ninja's
Seeing Fusion play the ninjas make me wonder if they should be a bit higher, maybe tied Raiden. It never ceases to amaze me how many times he catches me with one of the male ninjas.dciguy01 said:Jax?

I've always wondered about that but never tried it. Yesterday I did Baraka's jumping away punch and knocked Mileena out of the telekick and Kitana out of the square wave punch. I occasionally do it with Liu/Lao, but everyone knows they can do it.X820 said:You need to be in a specific range in the air for it to top priority, the lower you go below that point. .
So basically, at his highest point in the air, it's untouchable for opponents doing an air attack, even for Kitana's zip punch.
(I've even seen cage kick out Mileena's drop kick, but that's really rare..)
I was in a hurry and forgot him hehe, stick him anywhere you likedciguy01 said:Jax?
