Many characters have option selects that deal with Dark Pursuit. Let's look at Raiden for an example. Superman is his only special move that has a B,F input. All Raiden has to do when he sees Dark Pursuit is activating is input F,B + all 4 inputs and Superman will ALWAYS come out and punish Jason before he can block. This will remove Dark Pursuit.
Johnny Cage's Shadow Kick is another example of this.
Fun Fact: If you input the commands for 2 special moves there is a priority list the game uses to choose what special move will come out. Cassie Cage has bf1 and a bf4 input. Bf1 is gunshot, and bf4 is rising kick. Gunshot will always come out if both 1 and 4 are pressed at the same time. I am assuming the priority list is 1 before 2, before 3, before 4.
So in short. All you need to deal with Dark Pursuit is an advancing special or projectile that can hit Jason before he can block. Even if you have an input that competes with another like Cassie does, you know gunshot will come out and stop Dark Pursuit.
So yea. I really hope they give a fair pass over this character, because he's just getting worse/more buggy over time.
