Ohh silly me. I should have been able to infer what you were talking about.

Whatās the best thing to do off of his Down+Back.HP.
Asking the important questions here boys. 
Depends on screen position, your opponentās character, your opponentās meter, your opponentās instinct meter, your opponentās life bar, your meter, your instinct meter, your life bar, the mixups you did before and how you want to condition your opponent. I am sure the list is not complete.
What you CAN do is cancel into clutch to flip out, cancel into swarm, cancel into whirl, cancel into spike, cancel into instinct, pressure the wake up, jump back or dash back to gain some air to breath and a lot of other stuff.
What you shouldnāt do is miss the AA

lol just goes to show how much it takes to play Killer Instinct.
So I have found that I canāt seem to use Kanās anti-air to actually anti-air opponents. Is this just me being bad or does anyone else experience this?
What button are you talking about? You gotta be a little bit more precise
Down+Back.HP
Than you just donāt time it right.
Record a dummy doing a forward jump attack and than a jump back. Try to get a feel for the right timing and also try to use cr.HK to see whether it works or not. Also try to cancel your AA buttons into stuff.
You can also AA with St.MP xx whirl when they try to close the distance to you with jumps.

Thanks! Iāll give it a go when I get home.
does the cb.HP cancel into clutch only work if youāre on the right side? it seems like it comes out more if Iām on the right side but when Iām on the left it hardly comes out at all (Iām using a regular xbox controller).
@lHagenl Care to enlighten our feeble minds?
There is nothing to explain here. Itās just bad execution or a broken controller. A lot of players have preference to fight on a certain side. After all these years I still sometimes fail to dash to the left for example.
Please use the general discussion in the kan-Ra forum section for questions like that.
does anybody know a good way to incorporate Kan-Raās pinwheel other than manuals? I feel like I should be using It more often
You talking about back medium punch?
Back + MP is the second best meaty button in the game. It has tons of active frames, it combos into St.LK, itās hit confirmable into whirl, it catches back dashes, it is +1 on block.
I also use it a lot vs roll happy TJs.
The best meaty button in the game is Raās cr.MP after swarm ender because it is nearly as good but it has no hurt box.

yes, ill try using it for manuals in combos but it just blows out or raises the KV to an insane amount which is kind of a bummer
Test it in 3.7 because it may be fixed. Who knows?
For the most part it does, still canāt b.MP after a heavy quartercircle forward kick linker and still cause a blowoutā¦also canāt do heavy swarm linkers into b.MP either
Why would you EVER use back+MP as a manual??? It has a billion frames all screaming āhit medium breakerā
Clutch, m.spike, st.LK xx whirl is no longer possible.
BUT
You can still do clutch, st.MP xx m.whirl
This still works with different timings vs all characters minus Fulgore and Raam
AND
clutch, m.spike, cr.LK xx l.swarm is now very good.
The later you hit with cr.LK the closer your opponent will land to you. Some characters are forced to stand up directly in your swarm. This is also totally safe vs a quick rising shadow wind kick or DP Jago.
