I had never used the aaHP much, other than in easy punishment situations (after a blocked teleport, midair containment, etc.). But last night I made a conscious decision to incorporate that aaHP into my game more.
I gotta admit, it takes a certain amount of "confidence" to start using this against jump-in attacks. Dude's coming at me with a jumpkick or an air-starter, and my instincts are telling me to just be SAFE and throw out a sweep or something. But NO, I tell myself to stand my ground. Stand my ground, throw out that HP, and try to time it right.
Well I definitely ate my share of JKs last night. But oh man! When I did connect that aaHP, it felt very empowering! I'd be using Sektor, just WAITING for that jump... then aaHP, teleport, walk in RH, throw out a bunch of homing missiles!!!! And I felt all cool doing Scorpion's aaHP, JK, teleport, spear, autocombo. I know these aren't especially impressive combos or anything, but I'm just stoked and mad with power over successfully using these aaHP's to my advantage.
So I really like these, and I wanna get better. What are some good tips on using aaHP's wisely??? Which characters have an especially effective aaHP? Who has a whack hitbox? Etc etc?
EDIT: I just noticed a similar thread here, http://www.ultimatemk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1679
so I'll move this or whatever if the mods would like!
