Some info any Jade player should know about some of her specials. Thanks to Somberness for providing images and frame data.

Overhead staff

Basically, first 6 frames she is grounded, beginning with 7th frame Jade becomes airborne, which will reduce punishment damage, sometimes will make strings whiff. Also makes the move throw invincible and will avoid lows. Given the 11 frames of invincibility on wake-up, it will always make you airborne if hit on wake-up and neglect low hitbox attacks.
When at highest point, she floats for 7 frames (13-19) which is to be had in mind.
These are important to keep in mind in any match-up.

Shadow kick

Kicks at 19th frame from maximum range, at 15th at minimum range if the opponent is stand blocking and at 18th frame if he is crouch blocking. It's very fast. Can be done on reaction to teleports of Ermac, Scorpion, Raiden, Rain, Kung Lao, Skarlet and will avoid them.
Duration on whiff is 37 frames, which will keep you safe after avoiding all mentioned above teleports. Also this gives the opportunity to chase after Smoke when he's phasing away and Kitana when she asses away without fear of being punished.

Shadow flash gets the same 11 invincible wake-up frames as any wake-up attack, but since it's 1 frame start-up it gives you 10 frames of invincibility to any action of choice:
- down+1 (5 frames)/2 (9 frames)/3 (6 frames) and standing 1 (8 frames) becomes fully invincible in this case;
- down+4 and standing 4 (11 frames) just 1 vulnerable frame;
- neutral jump punch (12 frames) gets just 2 frames of vulnerability;
- backward/forward jump punches (6 frames) and kicks (10 frames) are fully invincible;
- backdash (18 frames duration) almost fully invincible;
- forward dash is 23 frames duration, but Jade travels almost all of the distance in 10 frames, so basically it's invincible for its distance, but she is vulnerable on recovery from the dash, but you can always cancel the dash into something to eliminate the recovery;
- Jade has one of the best walk speed, forward and backward, so you can just wake-up flash and walk back or forward to avoid oki.

Jade is awesome. Enjoy.

I love it when people react to raiden's teleport with a 15-19f move.

Some people can play a game for 2+ years and still know jack shit.
