I think it would be a good idea for us all to start actively discussing theory fighting. Crossovers are a REAL pain in the ass for all of us even if you know how to read and react to them. I've been practicing for a while now and I don't seem to be getting far. I've been trying Scorp's D1, Smoke's standing 2 and d1, and Sub's 22. I managed once or twice with Scorp, had more success with Smokes 2 than d1, and Sub eats combo everytime. In fact I get AA crossovers pretty frequently by complete accident most of the time and have become a master at converting them into combos, but that doesn't help me in the conscious game because its luck off a bad read.
Really there are 2 types of spacing for crossover, which is when pressure leaves you right next to eachother (Scorp's 11) or with slight pushback (Scorp's 21). Any further back they'll land in front. I'd like some general advice on spacing and reading based on both of those ranges.
When pressure leaves you at neutral frames, you can d1 anti-air any jump, with close spacing providing there's lnot much lag. So, whats the most disadvantage you can be at before his jump will clear your d1?
What am I doing wrong when I try to AA them when they reach the other side?
Ruby, Taco, Loog, Dan, what are your approaches to these situations? What are the options after cross-up set-ups?
I encourage everyone else to ask about their chars too, and practice this shiz.
