Overheads hit high so do not crouch and block standing instead.

are there any other method beside standing block?

If your opponent keeps jumping over your back in King of Fighters (KOF), they’re likely trying to cross you up — a technique where they attack while jumping over you to confuse your blocking direction. Let’s break down how to deal with it!

🔒 Defensive Options:
Block the Cross-Up: Hold back (away from your opponent) to block, but as they cross over, quickly switch the direction you’re holding. Timing is crucial!
Roll (Evasion): Use the roll (usually A+B) to escape. You can roll forward to get past them or roll back to create distance.
Guard Cancel Roll: If you're blocking and feel pressured, use a guard cancel roll (requires meter) to escape safely.
🥊 Counterplay & Punishes:
Anti-Air Moves: Use a character’s reliable anti-air normal (like a standing C or D) or special move to intercept the jump. Every character has something — learn your character’s best option.
Shoryuken-Style Reversal (DP Motion): Many characters have dragon punch-style moves (like Kyo’s DP+C) that are designed to punish jump-ins.
Jump Back Attack: If you can predict the jump, jumping back and attacking can stop them or at least reset the situation.
🧠 Positioning & Awareness:
Space Carefully: Keep a distance where they can’t easily jump over you, or stay mobile to avoid getting cornered.
Bait the Cross-Up: Walk back slightly, then dash forward or roll to make them whiff their jump-in, leaving them open for punishment.

Well I don't understand why you asked if you knew the answer. Yeah those are many more options to deal with it. I've just mentioned the most simple as your question was plain simple too.
