Her 4 and d2 are both excellent anti airs.Haven't got to play the beta yet, but hoping to soon. Can anyone tell me how her anti-air game is (thinking of her upward thrust and pole vault from MK9) - similar or nah?

Anyone?Anyone having an issue with not having jade and kabal and the tower missing? I did the turn off and on yesterday when it happened and it came back.
Today i was in tower, my variation still saved, toggled kb hold option, tested it out, restart match then error code and shut me out. Now , no jade, kabal, or tower
Also, having the control of when your kbs come out seems really advantageous

She's not any safer than other characters. All specials are unsafe minus her vault which can be interrupted for a full combo.Messed around with Jade a little bit, she seems OK.
I get she has limited combo potential and relatively low damage, but I think that's a logical trade-off for her range and safety. Good variety in hit regions too.
I tend to agree. Her range is good, but easily rivaled by Scarlet and even Scorpion. The difference is, they don’t seem to give up as much to get it.She's not any safer than other characters. All specials are unsafe minus her vault which can be interrupted for a full combo.
Skarlets range and neutral seems just as good.
Wiggle stick was my go to punish on blocked Nomad dashes. That is a decent punish as far as it goes. I think you squeeze out slightly more damage using pole vault instead of shadow kick, but that's secondhand.So b2124 is special cancellable, not sure if it was confirmed earlier. You can cancel during 1 and 2. Still need to input the entire string though during wiggle stick animation, then spec input before animation of impact you want to cancel from.
Mid screen b212(4), amp shadow kick.
Maybe for whiff punish/kounter this is good? you get 220 and change damage plus pushback/swap sides depending on your loadout. Plus the range you can execute it from i think is pretty dece.
Can wiggle stick consistently punish anything on block? Im thinking teles, nomads, etc
Opinions appreciated
The problem is that Jade can easily be beated by a super offensive character (like Scorpion or Kabal) and it appears that the full game is going to have even more super offensive characters, like Liu Kang.Seriously, the more I play Jade more I think she's totally fine. She's freaking defensive wall that at the same time can't be zoned out. I started playing super "lame" (like what JustinWong calls playing lame) and it feels super great. She excells in defense like noone else it seems.
She has 5 KBs...The lack of krushing blows sucks. No combo starters or pop ups is brutal. You gotta try so much harder with jade.
I think the problem with her KBs is that they rely more on the opponent messing up than anything you do. Hitting 3 shadow kicks in a row without the opponent blocking is not something that will happen, ever. Same with the full screen pole vault (well, maybe with glow and a projectile with tons of recovery). Even the parry relies on people attacking late in the animation, ie, messing up.She has 5 KBs...
B2, b343, 21 are your combo starters. They just don’t lead to much lol
D2 KB or 124 KB are your pop ups...unfortunately
But yea she’s ok.
Yep exactly. Her kb design is off.I think the problem with her KBs is that they rely more on the opponent messing up than anything you do. Hitting 3 shadow kicks in a row without the opponent blocking is not something that will happen, ever. Same with the full screen pole vault (well, maybe with glow and a projectile with tons of recovery). Even the parry relies on people attacking late in the animation, ie, messing up.
Compare that to Scorp or Baraka who can scout a counter hit and tag the KB on to the end of a combo. Or something like Sub-Zero’s slide, which can be specifically worked towards and deployed in a match.
It's the only way to play her. Once I figure out how to use the deadly assassin wiggly stick string (hit b2, slide fingers over everything else), whiff punishing people was actually giving me a bit of damage compared to before (still shit tho) and I was doing a lot better with her.embrace the lame
