Jade
Mortal Kombat (2011)
Q: Why your characters strategy (set ups, long range normals, mix ups, general offense/defense) and WAS MOST FUN FOR YOU?
A: Well for starters NOBODY played Jade like me when it came to all aspects of the character and that in itself is a great achievement for me. I've been playing Jade since 2004 with Mortal Kombat Deception but I never had as much fun with her in MK9 even though it wasn't 3D anymore she still fit me like a glove like I was born to use this character because she still had almost all the aspects that I loved about her except for the lack of Vanishing Winds.
Q: Specific tech you found with your character that was fun to pull off?
A: I have A LOT!
Q: Character size, mobility?
A: Just right, small female hitbox and just the right mobility.
Q: Weapons/ gadgets the character used and how they utilized them?
A: Loved every single thing. Resets, resets, resets and very pretty resets.
Q: Your characters move set: basic moves, pokes, strings, Cancels, special moves, powers that were most fun for you?
A: As much as everyone likes to shit on my character, I loved everything and used her to her fullest potential. The most fun was easily B2 as it had the most options. I love Shadow Flash/Glow because it made Jade viable against most of the cast and made it easy to gain meter. Shadow/Eclipse Kick was really fun especially double Shadow Kick and getting in against Cyrax and Kabal with full screen Eclipse Kick. Her X-Ray was broke because it could negate most projectiles and was high damage and if used as an ender it could lead to massive damge.
Q: How your character specific tools played footsies/ pressure/ zoning and why it was so fun for you?
A: Everything except for pressure. Jade had a small female hurtbox for footsies that can make her hurtbox it makes certain moves whiff and made her great. Her pressure was lacking but it was good for online in lag because 12 is neutral but in lag it making it plus beyond that could setup some good traps with Shadow Glow into a high damage punish and she gained a lot of meter. Zoning was meh but I liked it due to setups, AAing, mind games & traps also if used in the middle of combos it lead to optimal damage.
Q: Costumes, colors, personality, sex appeal, dialogue, any aesthetic entity of the character that you enjoyed the most and why?
A: I enjoyed everything equally, I do miss the costumes and sex appeal all the female characters had in MK9 and didn't have it again in MKX. Jade is sassy and sexy like she always was in the 3D games and had some of the best lines in the story mode in MK9. I really like the green, black & gold masked costume of that they introduced in MKD and they brought it back for MK9 but changed her hair which was a good change because it looks better but I sometimes miss her MKD/MKA hair though.
Q: Combos and links that were fun for you to perform?
A: I have so many it'll take so long for me to list.
