MKX AntiAirs: Which characters cannot Anti Air in Mkx

[Baconlord]

mileena has roll, a 7 frame d2, ex roll and s2.

 

[BillStickers]

Erron Black has trouble in the AA department in all 3 variations.
Standing 1 is very good, but only against certain characters at certain distances. EXStab, EXSlide, and EXSand are wholly unreliable. The moves will whiff or your armor will be popped. S1 is decent for crossups, but you're better off doing something else.

Also, I'm not sure what goal this thread is trying to achieve. If it's anything pompous, I'll be disappointed.
I'm saying that because it's common knowledge AAs in this game are very weak for a sizable amount of the cast.

Last I check Erron Black can throw out 21122 anytime he damned well pleases as an anti-air, footsie tool, mixup starter, pressure starter, etc.

D3 and D4 lower her hitbox so they are good options too, so it EX roll but that's only for characters like Predator and SZ.

 

[BillStickers]

Mileena and Johnny Cage have garbage anti-airs. Stop lying you stupid bitches.

 

[RM_Gamer]

Liu kang against
Kotal
Sub
Scorpion(jk only)
Ermac (Jk only)
Eb
Kung Jin

Same here including lao when spaced right. Sonya tanya dvorah. Kj pretty free to me on jump in. In my experience I've lost about 70% of my aa attempts. And even when I get a punish that won't stop players from jumping in because the risk of 14% damage won't stop people from jumping.

 

[STB Shujinkydink]

Quan has some interesting AAs. B1, uppercut and 4 all work great but the spacing for all 3 is so different you have to really know the spacing. Just thought I'd pipe in lol

 

[UsedForGlue]

What can you get from spending the bar on EX sand?

Nothing.

This statement is true for both MK9 and MKX :-O #whoadude

 

[C88 Zombieekiler]

Nope, his Ji always stuffs her AA lol. I already gave up trying to AA him, he is kinda the only character that she can't AA at all tho.


EDIT: nvm, it's Sub-Zero and Predator lol.

we are talking about roll here right?

 

[xKhaoTik]

That's easy to say when u have an armored launcher! Try one bar for 10%

Who needs AA'S when you have a block infinite

 

[FOREVER EL1TE]

Trying to aa kung Lao from max range is hopeless

 

[C88 Zombieekiler]

Nothing.

does it even do 5%?

 

[Tony at Home]

I can jump in on everyone with Sonya for pretty much freaking free. So long as I'm smart about it.

And hell, if I miss, for every 1 success, that makes up for 3 bad jumps. The risk reward in terms of damage is sooooooo skewed in MKX. It's like "lol, yeah, I lost a net of 9% in a trade with my j1. If I f* up my jump in 3 more times, I will have wasted lifebar!"

 

[Baconlord]

Anti airing with standing jabs is the most satisfying thing in the game.

 

[HeroesNZ]

Erron Black has D2 for close jumps, S1 for crossups, and EX Slide. They're not great but they're a lot better than Jacqui's. D4 also somewhat works on a few jump-ins.

In Outlaw you can anti-air with EX Tarkatan Stab (have to do it early due to slow startup) and EX Sand Toss but you have to do it very late or it'll hit them in the air so you can't combo off of it. I don't think you can anti-air jump kicks with EX Sand Toss because there's a slight mid-air pause with them so you can't combo off of it.

 

[C88 Zombieekiler]

D3 and D4 lower her hitbox so they are good options too, so it EX roll but that's only for characters like Predator and SZ.

nope it only gets stuffed if youre late with the roll

 

[EMPRESS_SunFire]

nope it only gets stuffed if youre late with the roll

Nope, it gets stuffed because of the phantom hitbox of that shit lol.

 

[buyacushun]

I think the situations isn't "no one can AA" but the risk/reward of AAs and the timing need in some cases is really skewed in favor of the jumper. With Raiden I've been able to D2 a jumping scorpion for 14% only to have him jump again and beat me for 25+. This game definitely has the hardest AAs I've ever played with. But that is only for some characters and sometimes it's only against some opponents.

 

[C88 Zombieekiler]

Again, what's the point of this thread?
"Get gud scrubs, you're not anti-airing up to par?"

na u know pig its just to get juice from the community

 

[C88 Zombieekiler]

idk im in practice getting the roll aa pretty consistent maybe im just the best mileena but it doesnt seem that hard

 

[JJV Phoenix]

So far with Cassie I have had success with stuffing jumpins with S1, S33, flipkick (ex or normal), d1, and d3, have converted off of each into a full combo. Crossovers are a little more difficult for me since I have only really encountered them online, but I feel that the s1 would do a decent job if I weren't fighting against netcode on top of a jumping bean. The only characters I've had an issue with are Sub Zero, and less frequently Sonya and Kotal. I'll usually burn a bar on an EX flipkick to stuff their j1s.

 

[Pig Of The Hut]

I cannot anti air Sub Zero at all with Mileena....Roll gets stuffed and upercut gets a trade at best....

Ji1/2 ? Which

 

[ando1184]

Wouldn't it be better to ask what characters can't AA on reaction? I mean theoretically all characters have moves that AA but don't function as a proper AA. Then there's moves that look like they should function as an AA but are sub par or don't function at all. Example: goros U2, looks like an AA but isn't reliable, or Sonya b1 it doesn't look like an AA but AA's at times. Then there's characters like predator whose d2 is so inconsistent as an AA it's almost encouraged not to use it or his disc tend to AA but you can't react and throw them out so they're not technically supposed to be used as such? Do you see where I'm going here?

I forgot to say if you're a Cassie player no need to post when u have a 6f Cw
