Jade Emerald Defender Combo Guide

[Geoffmeister]

5-min video for optimal combos and general gameplan. These all work on female hitboxes unless stated otherwise (besides the low launcher in the corner!)

Also... let it be known that Butterfly conversions SUCK. Damn near broke my left thumb making this video.

Enjoy.


Highly recommend taking a look at Akromaniac's video too:

Updated some numbers below, still WIP

Thanks for this.

I agree, the butterfly conversations do suck.

Great work, man.
I hope they'll fix her clusterfuck of a moveset sooner than later.

 

[MagicMan357]

No wonder she has no combos, her uppercut does most of the damage lmao WTF

I think its more of a archetype issue, they may not want to give her to much combo extension because shes a crazy zoner. Im always for more options like 214 being a true pop up

She's not that crazy a zoner in a game of F4, teleports and most characters having something that goes right through her already -44 glow.
All her projectile attacks are blockwalked and flawless blocked. They lead to nothing and half the cast laughs at zoning anyway.
