Endo x Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 I have a question about the air unblockable. I understand u can block air unblockable moves if they are not the first hit because of block stun, but I don't understand. when I jump bait a counter on wake up ,it sometimes hits me with a yellow exclamation stating its air unblockable but other times when I jump bait a counter on wake up I have no problem blocking and perfectly slam into them to quickly punish them on landing. I just don't understand does it have anything to do with the amount of time in the air? I no supers always hit me if I try and jump bait them but counters seem 50 50 and it's just driving me crazy...I didn't even no there was air unblockable counters I thought there were only air unblockable 2b and and sum other variations
sikemopko Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 Check the wiki for hitboxes on the counters that are hitting you, I know yosuke's is very low to the ground and in front if him, if you activate it with a crossup you get a big punish. However teddy has a better hitbox on his counter, I know I get hit by that alot. Also note that some characters have air Unblockable furious actions, like akihiko and some characters have air Unblockable supers like mitsuru ice block
Circuitous Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 Could you be more specific? What counters are hitting you in the air? Also keep in mind that when you first jump, you can't block anything at all for 5 frames, so if you're getting hit as you start jumping that's probably why.
Kuuhaku Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 Are you by chance trying to block Yu's DP in the air? Because the first hit of his is air unblockable.
Endo x Posted September 1, 2012 Author Posted September 1, 2012 Yes that's what I'm trying to say yu's dp hits me when I've been in the air and on my way down, but if I jump bait his counter on wake up and slam into it with a block I'm fine and now well placed for a punish, but this seems to work like 75% of the time and other times it gives me yellow exclamation. are you sure it's the first hit that's air unblockable because it seems like its athe later hit that's air unblockable. I think this has happend to me while facing mitsuru and maybe Akihiko And yes I no the jump block startup frames are like 8 to avoid chicken blocking all day but hats not this case
MasterMind Posted September 2, 2012 Posted September 2, 2012 The first hits of Yu and Akihiko's DP's are air unblockable, Mitsuru's DP is not.
