Jumps are too strong

[Sonebone]

I feel jumps are too strong in this game especially cross ups like anti air does 20% dmg but landing a jump attack you can do 50% and you always have to think about them jumping and if you do a slow normal while their jump[ing you get punished everytime, plus when you have someone in the corner its hard to pressure cause one mistimed move and they jump over and you're in the corner. What are your thoughts on jumps?

[Kiyaya]

Anti-airing them works 90% of the time of you use a good antiair attack. Jumping should basically never work.
If they jump close enough as to cross up, you can forward dash to avoid it, or learn to cross-cut uppercut.
What character are you using?

[Call Sign: Raven]

Depends on which character you're using. Most characters have an anti-air DP, but almost everyone has a normal that you can use as anti-air. Ryu's crouching fierce punch, for example. As for cross ups, that's just something that you'll get better at compensating for with experience. Your eyes will get trained to see that they are jumping behind you, and you can block the opposite direction to adjust for the cross up. Those are just hard to see until you gain more experience.

Go into the training mode and select the "Anti-Air" setup from the Simple Training Menu. It's actually a pretty fun mini-game and trains your reflexes to mash your AA option when you see them jump.

Jump combos do huge damage because they are insanely risky. A little bit of time doing the anti-air training and you will be punishing them 90% of the time when they jump in.

You're not REALLY playing Street Fighter until you're consistently anti-airing. If you don't have AA down you will get eaten alive in this game and every other fighting game. One exception might be the SF3 series where there's really low hit stun from jump ins and jump ins just aren't as common.

If jumping was so powerful, all pros would constantly jump. It's insanely easily punished.

THIS. Jumps are one the absolute riskiest things you can do in the game.

[Powercrank]

most characters have to anti-air you 10 times to get the damage of a single jump in.

frankly, if you aren't gambling on random jumps you're playing wrong. they are objectively higher reward than risk. Only a few characters have the power to actually punish you HARD for jumping. Who cares if you get hit by a HP a few times? only ONE of your jumps needs to land to make up for it. Keep holding up forward.

[rockmanray]

As a Jamie main, I agree with you.
As others, not.

To add on top of this, when new players ask how do I get better, the majority will tell them to stop jumping and panic jumping for that exact reason.

Get hit by a DP or an air throw for jumping and you're now in an Oki situation where guessing wrong = big damage to you.

So no. One AA and you're now in a really bad situation.

stop doing trash jump ins that are easily DP'd. I'm talking about one button anti airs that reset you, which is what you will get hit by unless your jumps are actually stupid.

watch the sim matches from the top 8 of the tournament this past weekend. joe umerogan jumped in 100 times with luke, got anti-aired the vast majority of them, but still won because he literally doesnt even need a 20% success rate on them for it to work.

since jumps are too strong ,u should do it more till they patch it out

[Archiduque Motoko]

Yes jumps are really good, they've always been that way, you need to antiair those consistently.
