I played a Jax player this morning. I was using Kotal Sun God.
He could have handled me pretty easily by just zoning me. He was good at it and by the time I would get in, he would have a life lead.
He said screw that and we just battled toe-to-toe. I won most of the matches, but they were just battles. Kotal has a slight advantage over Jax up close. I knew it wasn't because I was more skilled. It was how we played the matchup that left me with a slight advantage. With the damage these two do, the matches were land a mixup and maximize the damage. It made for some really violent looking back and forth beatdowns. Now, I give the guy credit for going all out - but if he had zoned me out and taken the matches, I would have given him credit too. In my mind, it wasn't about winning or losing once he said bleep it. It was about having a good time.
Now, Jacqui gives Sun God all kinds of trouble if they stay back - but I have a few choices. I can switch to War God or go Ermac or Quan Chi. I have a friend who plays Jaqui this way, so I needed to find a few answers. Now, Jax isn't without answers for Jacqui either. Just go Pumped up and use his Ground Pound special to even up the matchup from full screen.
I HATE Kung Jin because of how easy he is to play, but I'm done whining about it. I already have a few answers for him, but I'm going to try and find THE BEST answer for him, so I can consistently smash his face in.
