- Second hit of 2,3 string now hits Low
- B,F+2 now seems to be a bit safer on block (-10 possibly)
- EX B,F+2 is now a completely safe armor attack with HUGE pushback. I believe it may be -6 or around there since in a Jacqui jump test one of them jumped up slightly faster than the other one when it was blocked.
How big of an impact do you think these buffs have? It now gives her a safe-ish mid with lots of range in the neutral. Scorpion, Liu Kang, Takeda, and even Mileena's reversal roll couldn't reliably punish it on block.
Jacqui having a safe mid armor attack to throw out in the neutral now seems like a very powerful tool when combined with her zoning and quick movement. Being hit by a B,F+2 now can allow her to reverse positions with B,F+1 and put you in the corner. The opponent respecting the fear of a random B,F+2 mid screen also increases Jacqui's run up and throw game, or run up and 50/50. The added effect of being conditioned off B,F+2 in neutral and now being more likely to block bullet strays is also a plus since it feeds her meter in Full Auto.
What do you Jacqui players think? I think the B,F+2 buff is going to help her a lot more in the long run when it's fleshed out than what it seems like on paper right now. Discuss.
