I am thinking about learning second character (I now play Wrestler Jax) and it made me wonder what character and variation would be best in covering Jax's weaker sides. I basically would like to know who your sidekick is and why? =)
I predict that people would say that Jax has all the tools needed, which may be true. It's still interesting to hear people's opinions.
I personally have most troubles with zoners. Jax's run is not bad, you can advance through projectiles with mb dash punch (if they are not multihitting), d12 low profiles and advances (risky against most mb projectiles). Still it's often hard (and annoing) for me to deal with zoners.
So i want to pick another character with this characteristics:
And maybe some advice on the best pick from above list? I personally lean towards reptile, he seems to qualify on 3 first criterions:

So i want to pick another character with this characteristics:
- I need to like it stylistically, and as a character =). Current favourites are: kotal khan, reptile, kano, raiden, predator, kenshi, ferra/torr and cassie.
- I would like it to have different game strategy as Jax. In Jax's strategy i believe cornerstone element is pressure. So maybe more 50/50 oriented character, one who rely on setups more or even a zoner .
- Good against zoners. =)
- Complementary to Jax matchup wise
- Not as execution heavy. Honestly i kinda like Jax's execution heaviness but my left thumb gets tired of all ODP, command grabs and run cancels. =) Right thumb strangely never gets tired. =)
And maybe some advice on the best pick from above list? I personally lean towards reptile, he seems to qualify on 3 first criterions:
- I like him
- From what i've seen his gameplay seems to revolve around force ball setups and 50/50s
- Force ball + spit + slide + dash should be enough to give you good chances to advance against zoners
