No real pokes outside of down 1, which is a mid. Unstoppable Jason is pointless in all honesty. If you want more range and a projectile, play Slasher. If you want better pressure and a teleport, play relentless. I think that NRS should really focus on Unstoppable.I don't know but he needs something because he is just bad.
Unstoppable should be renamed "Stoppable" because that variation is trash.No real pokes outside of down 1, which is a mid. Unstoppable Jason is pointless in all honesty.

That's not really his biggest problem, at least not in Unstoppable and Relentless, because he has B122, which actually does a brilliant job of doing just that. His biggest overall problem in Unstoppable and Relentless is the absolutely crippling combination of having both horrendous pokes AS WELL AS command grabs that get beat out by too many moves. This combination essentially guarantees that Jason is at a distinct disadvantage at close range, against virtually the entire cast. But, that is just unacceptable, because those two variations don't have any projectiles and Lake Mist is a very mediocre anti-zoning tool. As a result, Jason is at a distinct disadvantage at BOTH close range and long range, against virtually the entire cast. Hence, he is the worst character in the game.I'm not familiar with Jason, but when I did play him at release I noticed that he really needed a good safe string that can be used in footsies..
Probably :/Shit on... that's what he will get.
This made me LOL and cry at the same time because it's probably true.Shit on... that's what he will get.
Just curious, do you still play Jason? Or is he on the backburner for now?This made me LOL and cry at the same time because it's probably true.
Hell, they'll probably nerf Damned AGAIN.
I do occasionally. But I pretty much stick to Kotal the majority of the time.Just curious, do you still play Jason? Or is he on the backburner for now?
Tier sold out like I did.I do occasionally. But I pretty much stick to Kotal the majority of the time.

(I would actually argue that Relentless and Unstoppable are pretty decent in overall footsies because of how good B122 can be, if properly used)
It's technically punishable, but very rarely is because of its pushback factor.B122 is punishable though
And it's not even that negative. It's only -8, so if your fastest normal is 8 frames then you can forget the punish. B12 is also completely safe (-1) and is hit confirmable anyways.It's technically punishable, but very rarely is because of its pushback factor.
