What are some good punishes against jab
So I’m assuming all jabs are +1 on block since I’ve tried it with Jun Kaz and Jin and it was all +1 and the fastest moves in the game are 10 frames which is also a jab I think. Wondering if there’s some punishes around this. Not to sure how frame data works exactly so sorry if this is worded weird

sidestep then block, or if you know it is coming do a low move that avoids highs, for any committal high moves, duck and punish with while rising move

Bro I just realized that tekken is a 3D fighter. So I should be able to duck under them, I’m gonna try that lol.

lol I’m gonna try a rising move like you said in your previous comment. I feel so dumb for not this realizing until minutes after posting this.

xD
so if they commit to a one two, instead of just one jab you can block and it's your turn
if they do a high high string that is slower than jab, duck and while rising uppercut
I dont recommend ducking for just 1 jab they will recover and block
in this situation, better to do a low move that avoids high (it will duck the jab and may counter hit their jab attempt; only do if you know it is coming)

good luck!
parry obvious jabs

Duck punish or sidestep. (not every character has a parry, and there's this little thing called "chicken" anyway)

Dickjab. It steals their turn, crushes highs, and comes out in 10 frames. Now you can use your (full-crouching) FC moves if you have any, or just resort to a speedy/meaty WR attack. IDK how useful this is, I'm only warrior rank
no one rly chicken my Nina, heck even Asuka. also u cant chicken (non reversal) parries, only reversals
my point is its good to have element of surprise in ur arsenal
Necropants Feb 1, 2024 @ 6:10pm 
Nina and Asuka have traditional standing parries, paul is another but chicken is universal across all characters, parry is not. it doesn't matter no one does it too you, it exists and good players will if you abuse it... On the other hand alot of characters don't have a standing neutral parry and many of the ones that do, are risky,

its still effective, like did u ever got swap side reversal into wall combo by Leo? u know that surprise feeling right. u cant chicken it coz ure too surprised
also aggression is the main theme here, so itll be even more effective
dont be so boring man

Not all. Asuka's negative on block which sucks.

Best against jab happy opponents are high crush moves but be careful not to overused it or become predictable as they will launch you with df2 etc.

side step isn't reliable as the second hit of the jab string usually hits you.

Ducking into a rising attack counters them.

Everyone has armor attacks that destroy jab spammers too.

I'd imagine anything with more range than the jab also works.

Basically what everyone else said.

Sidestep, duck, down jab for plus frames, parry, high crushing move, or power crush.
