If the dive kick doesn’t hit your toe, but rather hits you around your upper body, you have plenty of time to throw when they land.

use shoryus sparingly, cuz they’ll probly start empty jumping to bait it once you hit them with it a couple times. LP shoryus work well (very well), but once in a while you can try to fp shoryu to catch them super high.

if you can parry it, just c.mk x SAIII

dont dash under them… you dont gain any advantage by doing so (if you are even successful).

s.mk is good for catching them as soon as they jump. it’ll keep them on the ground a lot more once u hit them with this a few times

parry then AA taunt.

little tip: you can parry yun’s jab low.most of the time I just block it(divekick) then parry the jab(note that when you parry a jab you get the most frame advantage) if they keep jumping go for a parry or shoryu.

I use cr.Fierce from time to time for mid/far divekicks and it works a few times until they fake out dive kick out of its range and throw you.

Jumping at him as soon as he jumps works fine too.

If I block the dive kick high (upper-body range), I usually try and throw or use the strong-fierce chain to prevent Yun/Yang’s command grab option.

If they’re doing it a lot, just jump and meet them with an attack in the air. Most good air attacks will beat out a dive kick.

10

^ Yeah. Air to Air attacks work well.

Ken’s j.hp does decent damage, recovers suprisingly fast for it’s strength, and you’ll land before they do.

They’ll also bounce back, and since they bounce back, it gives some spacing room and allows you to try to regain control of the match.

Random…cough err, psychic dp them. When they get into the stupid dive kick, jump dive kick rinse repeat crap over and over again, they will eat a dp cleanly if you are man enough to throw one out.

12

srk on reaction to the mk/hk dks and try to cr mk the lk dks before they land.

13

What is the most damaging thing you can do if you parry a dive kick high? Low? With meter or without meter?

14

if its high, a shoryu probably. if its low, i dont go for anything crazy, he’s likely to jump again

15

just parry if they do it non stop you’ll be able to parry it easily

16

Yeah like that one guy said, if they hit your upper torso u can get a throw on them. If they hit ur legs they’ll follow up with combos such as yun’s LP LK MP then move

17

Jump straight up mk works well, but don’t get too predictable. Parrying dive kicks can be tricky if they’re a little smart and start doing mixups.

18

cl.HP does wonders for shotos against dive kicks.

But yeah, parry and block is good too.

19

lol.

edit:early dash under st.mk

20

early j.rh

early ex hurricane

parry

block high, throw.

(rarely) dp. those are the most consistent ones, you cant ALWAYS anti air it effectively, thats why its good. it controls a lot of space. if they’re doing it carelessly, you can punish them hard though.

21

against a “good” Yun player I find the best way is to parry

22

^ agreed. Go for the parry, then lp. shoryu. Those dive kicks are easy to parry if your oppenent is easily predictable and throws out the same dive kicks more than once. Watch for the empty jump though, they’ll do that to mix you up and you’ll eat comboXX Genei-JinX Big DAMAGE!

23

No “good” Yun player is easily predictable.

24

True enough, but most of them can be seen through if they rely on the Dive kick.

Most Yun/Yang players will dive kick right after knockdowns to get you blocking right off the bat, and then they go for command throws or to other moves. Dive kicks are easy for Ken to punish, you just have to know how to read your opponent and assume when they are going to dive kick and have the appropriate counter at hand.

25

I like to jump back roundhouse sometimes in these situations.
