If you're getting beat by this you're actually horrible and honestly probably shouldn't even play video games at all.

There are a lot of canceleable attacks right? So you can just react with your own DI.

Also you need kind of insane timing to DI during the 4-10 frames that come out seemingly at arbitrary times. I've seen people claim it's the reason Sim is bad, but I really think this is an upper echelon issue rather than for the average player.

you can only DI back during the early frames of mid range normals, so like if you press low medium kick and they DI you can only cancel back in the first few frames or you get stuck in recovery. it creates a scenario where everytime you try to poke at mid range you risk eating a DI and losing 30-60% of your health.

the only solution I know is to only use light attacks which recover fast enough to let you di back or only use mediums when you have drive rush and full drive gauge, it really kills my fun I dunno how else to deal with it

Only the dark punch can beat the light punch

Get gud.

You are the first person I have seen to point this out

I've notice this from the get-go, and it's so reminiscent of MK11 that it puts be off playing the game entirely.

When low light punches (and the like) become veritable BnB's, you know that the associated game's core gameplay is seriously flawed. Of course, no one will admit this until the new game lustre wears of / a game is no longer being shilled... Even e-sports commentators with exclaim "NICE!" when some one wins a set by low-jabbing their opponent to K .O.. MK11 was the same, and is now roundly regarded as the worst MK (gameplay-wise) since MKvDCU -- tacitly confirmed by the developers themselves by how different and gameplay-focused MK1 is touted to be.

Another dubious hallmark of garbage fighting games: non-grappler throw spam efficacy.

This works but there is another very popular strat.

Keep pressure with multi hit attacks. Can be light attack or multi hitting specials.
DI can only absorb two hits and 3rd hit breaks it. Mix it with throws for the best result. Even better if you can do throw loops. Throws win against DI.

Also light attacks slow it down. With some practice you can punish it on reaction.

Jump attacks and especially cross overs also work well.

This is exactly my issue. It feels really terrible as Chun trying to poke enemies at my optimal range only to get a DI in my face just because I can't cancel into DI from heavies not to mention mediums. It feels useless sometimes trying to poke in this game.
It leads to only being able to use the LP method in order to be safe from that mechanic.

Gotta keep it tight.

What's wild to me is how you can combo into a level 3 super from a jab or a short.

But yeah, the fear of catching a DI is always there. It's so anyone can have a chance to deal big damage with minimal effort. Just throw one out. Only cost one bar.
