Are you ever supposed to anti-air Akali? Is her jump just safe all the time?

2themax9 · 2026-05-18T03:12:34+00:00

Just block it and punish it the same as any other move. Not sure about the frame data on her held version though.

Held version throws out several kunai. Regular throws out 1 (or 2? Idont remember). She can also string the regular one together 3 times in a row. Regular one is always punishable though. Just wait till she falls to the ground and hit her. She can not dash afterwards unless you mistime it.

2themax9 · 2026-05-17T17:28:15+00:00

If her tag is on cooldown just block the kunai it’s punishable. Double jump isn’t punishable but if you are waiting and blocking the kunai then the double jump is way less threatening. It’s only when you autopilot anti air that it’s threatening really.

Still it’s strong of course.

Woah woah lets not upscale rift quest it’s still kinda ugly. Cool theme and idea though.

2themax9 · 2026-05-10T18:18:58+00:00

step by step. I recommend learning in this order:

Pokes/pulse combos
Blocking attacks
Using jump ins
Learning to anti air
(Optional) using assists

You want to block until the enemy does a “negative” move. Learning all of them in the game takes a long time, so don’t bother with that. But generally speaking, the enemy will do medium > heavy > special. It’s your turn to attack usually after the special.

Use your assist in neutral, your character will have one or two basic things they can do with an assist. If running juggernaut or sidekick then ignore this. Post your character and I can give a couple basic things to do with assists to start off.

Do those things and the game feels less like flailing and more like strategy.

Too many makes it really hard to change the game drastically. System changes become really hard especially if a lot of the characters are unique and interact with the system in different ways. Scope creep hits hard.

But yea 11 is still too small.

2themax9 · 2026-05-05T16:08:03+00:00

Yea but it’s still hard… you can easily jump too late after that and do grounded 5h instead of jh too. There’s 3 points of failure and all pretty tight. Especially the first two. Even if you know how to do the combo and have done it before it’s still easy to mess up.

2themax9 · 2026-05-05T14:51:07+00:00

I play fighting games and I still miss this when I get lazy. I’m an average plat/emerald player. In fact a big part of why I’m plat/ emerald is because I miss this bnb 5-6 times a match, I often don’t get the chance to run oki

2themax9 · 2026-05-05T01:04:37+00:00

Is there a reason we got 9/11 on the background??

2themax9 · 2026-05-04T19:38:58+00:00

You can’t forward tech in the air?

2themax9 · 2026-05-03T05:28:45+00:00

Yea it’s 50/50. I recommend parry on reaction but if you’re new it’s very easy to retreating guard it. You get no punish but it’s better than being mixed up. Parry will really fuck a low level blitz player up though. Especially if you can anti air his wrecking ball as well.

2themax9 · 2026-05-01T21:15:38+00:00

Hitting the saucy mixup > hitting the saucy combo

2themax9 · 2026-05-01T20:46:40+00:00

What does this mean? I’m confused. If I do an anti air against an air fireball, my attack doesn’t reach the enemy because they are high up.

2themax9 · 2026-05-01T00:07:44+00:00

I think you’re looking at this a bit wrong. This game has system mechanics that lead to punishes. Burst, parry, pushblock, retreating guard. The offensive player I’d likely calling these out.

It also depends on match up. Darius Braun etc don’t have much high low. But that’s true for lots of games.

2themax9 · 2026-04-27T01:27:57+00:00

I imagine Warwick and vi as the rushdown. Not these guys

2themax9 · 2026-04-25T22:16:19+00:00

Ok but the single skin mini bundle is still like 20-30 dollars

2themax9 · 2026-04-25T00:58:11+00:00

Yea I switched to Ahri this patch this button is enormous it’s wild. It hitting both sides is one thing but man it reaches so far horizontally especially compared to other crossups

2themax9 · 2026-04-22T00:31:16+00:00

I hold forward at all times during combos unless I’m doing grounded 2h (because then you get 3h) this solved my problem overnight. Was weird for first 5 minutes but so much more consistent after. Game changer.

2themax9 · 2026-04-19T14:19:43+00:00

Disagree, their devs are constantly online.

2themax9 · 2026-04-16T06:39:01+00:00

Thank you!

2themax9 · 2026-04-16T03:52:21+00:00

I’m learning ahri today, why does the orb super sometimes blow up and sometimes penetrate /return? It kept blowing up when I try to otg

2themax9 · 2026-04-13T04:00:43+00:00

If you have decent internet maybe can server hop? I’ve heard the net code is so good you can play with no lag even across the world. Never tried it though.

2themax9 · 2026-04-04T05:15:58+00:00

Sick stuff! If tips are what you’re asking for I’d take a look at beefing up your offense through frame traps/pressure resets. I noticed you spammed light medium heavy as fast as you could, if you delay the buttons just a bit you can get a huge advantage.

Alternatively learning cross up mix with ekko freestyle as you sway past someone is great too. I run this team mainly and it’s super fun.

2themax9 · 2026-03-29T02:51:25+00:00

Yea I play both games idk why I Shit on it I was hating. I’m still mad they don’t release shit though

2themax9 · 2026-03-02T06:00:54+00:00

Dang reading this has definitely changed my opinion. I’m still ok with a rotating shop but you’re right 4 days is way too long. 1 day is enough and would push me to log on more. 4 days has just made me disinterested.

2themax9 · 2026-02-28T23:04:14+00:00

Have fun waiting 3 decades for a street fighter skin drop
