I think this is the core issue with Jade getting hit out of B2: it doesn't appear to have active frames for the entire animation. It seems to only have active frames for the small moments of the 3 individual hits of the move instead of the entire time she has the staff sticking out. As such, there's small gaps where an attack can hit Jade out of B2 without it being a trade which is infuriating.
OUTRAGED if this is true.......she is bottom tier and they built her slow as hell razor rang around the fact that she has this "projectile immunity" ( which doesn't protect against all projectiles). If they are really going to nerf this they need to make up for it in other ways......IGNORES ALL PROJECTILES.....It also must not have terrible recovery that gets punished like currently......faster razor rang start up so she can actually trade projectiles.......she can't have the slowest projectile in the game and then not be able to use her glow when ever she wants. This just isn't fair if true.
I could only understand them nerfing her D2 IF and only if they gave her real combos. She has no real viable combos as of right now. Her D2 is 9 frames and Liu Kang's is 10 frames but he has 9 frame mid combos sooooo there is that. She does use the staff so it should be reflected in the range......She needs something up close that is fast because what else can she use? She doesn't do well up close and has a lot of built in recovery....also most of her good tools are High(including D2 obviously) so people tend to duck a lot against her.
Yeah that's what I'm saying, I have no issues giving her a string launcher or something else to compensate. I mean I get why people hate her, not for the zoning(that's her thing) but for ther D2 being dumb at times. I've had it done to me so I understand the frustration people have with it. Yeah, it's just very dangerous to jump at her or around her with her D2 nailing you. I usually hander her well with Raiden, LK(wu shi) a lot of Jades don't know what to do against him. Because he can mess with Jade players heads doing the fire buff, and he can teleport or if she jumps take her out of the air with his fireballs and if she glows, stuff her out with the flying kick.
Wishful thinking, but maybe they're giving it an amplification option?
I like your wishful thinking! I could only dream to have amplified glow!
Most of Jade v3 I faced were just spamming her b2124, again and again...
Very easy to deal with......huge gap....just as she finishes her regular Back2 just jump. She will go right under you and your can punish her.
Which variations?
Thunder wave
Emerald Defender isn’t the way to go. His TP is a great counter to any zoning she can do. Pole Vault or whatever it’s called is a better choice against Thunderwave.
I would say yes.
Other than Scorpion, Kotal is her hardest matchup by far. Can't zone him, he has better range, better damage, better pokes.
ok because I thought it was just me..... Kotal DESTROYS me..I would put frost up there as well
I posted about this in another thread. I would LOVE for it to be back 2 but sadly I think it will be shadow kick. What makes this even more sad is that her shadow kick KB is probably one of her easier KB to get. As you said people don't really break away with Jade unless it's a Krushing blow that launches since she really doesn't have combos. Occasionally someone will break out of forward 21. I'm not optimistic about any changes she will get because I've been disappointed so far. Back 1,2 and forward 4,1 need adjustments for sure! Her core issue for me is lack of of combo potential. Agree with sonic fox that at least Jaded which is rush down should have added combo potential and realistically her deadly assassin strings should all be in her base kit. Also I think her forward 21 needs to be faster.....It has to be the slowest overhead in the game. Sindel's is definitely faster and covers more range then Jade's.
