i knew about this. to punish ppl getting hit by 12, i was doing 12~du+4 ex gpX3 for 48%. this isnt all easy to loop and not get beat by D+1 though, and its a pure guess on the part of both players. only reason to try to escape and get hit right away is to stop jax from building so much meter so he can always ex gp combo. also, when ppl try to d1 to make sure my timing is spot on, i punish with f+4~du+4 into ex gps.

It's not even close to as bad as their infinites. I knew this early on. But it's not as practical as the other character infinites because the execution is harder as well as the lower forward momentum which makes it harder to continue. Also, like I said earlier, the starters are all high. It's not that powerful. If someone at Evo proves me wrong, then I'll correct myself. But I don't think this is that bad.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like you can only do 4-5 repetitions so it's not even a true infinite. It's hard to do and it's not even guaranteed. If you block it all Jax builds 1.5 bar of meter. And if you get hit you can potentially get out or use a breaker to escape the 1, 2 reps.

It's a dirty trick but Jax first needs to get in which won't happen very often vs some characters. Not to mention Jax is kinda so so without this so I wouldn't mind if they didn't remove it lol. At least we'll see people pick him up. :p

Hey I already play Jax, and this just adds another dimension to his game. You guys may be laughing now, but this little semi inf or whatever will be useful. Besides, I'm still waiting for Havik to become DLC. Jax becomes the sub when Havik makes his debut.

So this isn't really an infinite at all? I've been doing Jump In Punch, 1,2,3 xx Gotcha - 1,2 xx Gotcha as a trap with Jax since release. However, I'm I lead to believe that Jax can repeat this indefinitely or is there a threshold that it stops at.

I would rather NRS balance Jax and other characters properly, but if this makes him competitive then I'm to interested to see how it develops. I hope this is just a meter trap and not an infinite.

Anyway, this definitely needs to be tested further, because I'm pretty sure nearly every character can D+1 this.

Imagine how bad this game would be by now if NRS couldn't fix these things. NRS will probably do like they've done with the other block infinites and make it into a mixup or frame trap.

I'll give you the Jax part, he's a okay, and I've thought about using him myself. But that Havik comment has got to be trolling. (also, Ed's already debunked it)

Oh? Since it's trolling then I won't bring it up again. I'm going to miss Havik. Anyways, I think you should play Jax not because of this sexy semi inf. You should play him for his reset/corner death combos that make your opponent rage. That and it's good to keep it simple with him too.

According to my calculations, FP has 8 execution frames and gotcha grab is around +10 on block.

The only way you can slip a D1 in there is if Jax dash cancels (+4-5 execution frames) and dashes/hits FP a few frames too late. But Jax only needs to dash cancel after the third or fourth rep to close the pushback distance he created.

The first 3-4 reps are pretty easy to loop but then it gets tricky. Note that 1, 2 and gotcha grab all completely whiff on crouch blocking, so you need to force a stand with a jump punch or something. Then they are completely locked in stand block.

It's a true infinite, and much easier to do in the corner. It's not very difficult to do, actually. The difficult part is setting it up...you have to get the opponent to stand...Jax's only reliable way of doing so is a JP. It's not like Kabal and Sonya's, where they have mids/lows to get it all started. You can escape it by taking the hit, but Jax can mixup how he does it, so either he does 12 xx GG or 1 xx GG. By doing either one, he can make you guess when to let go of block...if you let go at the wrong time, either you take an unnecessary hit, or you keep blocking.

Jax has problems getting in, as well, and if you take the hit, they escape it. It's still good, though.

12~gotcha is more than 10% unless you just let the gotcha hit, even then you are FORCED to eat damage to escape this.

Also when Jax gets in, his f413 combo is advantage on block. Jax gets in, it's very hard to get him out. Good thing Kitana still rapes him.
kitana is cheap, you get hit one time can you can do 40% everytime fuck kitana
