Her F 2 needs hit box adjustment, it should catch people in the air the way skarlets B 2 overhead does.
I've purposely picked Jade against the few ranked Shang sets I've played. I have won handily each time. Granted, neither player used corpse drop effectively. I think if you can block that low overhead opener, use your KBs wisely it's a good match up.
I'm not bitching about Shang so I don't know what that has to do with anything I said. What I said is what he does and should be doing versus Jade. I don't come on TYM to complain. Shang used optimally can give Jade problems from a design stand point. You beating ranked Shangs has nothing to do with character tools and counters. Nothing stated negates or minimizes what he does in the match up when played by good players.
exactly this match up feels like hell. Corpse drop completely flushes jade. It feels so oppressive fighting shang as jade, jade's projectiles are slow and clunky, thats why she needs to activate glow to get her zoning game up. But with corpse drop it completely negates her from getting on glow, even then, whenever he meter burns his corpse drop he does 15%! Thats almost as much as a jade BnB lol. Jades character design in this game sucks, the fact that shang is priveleged with better zoning, footsies, and very good practical damage while Jade is lacking in this match up because she can't do anything as well as Shang. Jade's best normals are meant to be defensive, the problem is in this match up she has to chase down Shang and can't utilize her best tools. NRS completely dropped the ball with Jade, they ruined this character and gave her a terrible design. The fact that her not being able to activate glow against characters like shang or scorpion and others destroy her ability to play her game. She is not meant to chase other characters like shang or scorpion down, she will loose every single time doing this. NRS completely slapped the faces of the Jade mains by giving us a poorly designed character. I can already imagine all the other DLC characters and their specials that destroy jade's ability to activate glow, which destroy her ability to play this game.
not really, bc you can at least jump over tentacle and it won't hit jade when she is in the air. But you can't do that with corpse drop, even if you block a corpse drop you can't activate glow, he can punish you again with another corpse drop. That MU is F'd up
I spent an hour on this trying different things. Totally unsuccessful. Post a clip if you actually land it
Raiden has this thing on his back throw where it says you simply have to hold the button. But it's only specific for his less used variation - could this be the case here? Just a suggestion!
I'm glad someone else sees this too. Jade's buttons also push the opponent away and Shang players that get knocked away from Jade should be laughing because her down 4, back 2 etc get him away from her and at a more optimal range to bully her with zoning. I don't usually post about match ups, but I dunno if you played Ermac versus Jade or Jade versus Kenshi in MK9, but this is similar to Ermac and less extreme than Kenshi of course, but it's playing against a character that you cannot glow and your core play style actually hurts you entirely in the match up instead of helping you. He outclasses her like they did at every edge of the screen. This is one of those match ups where you can play it better, but since your fundamental design is countered it really hits differently.
No, I think Jade does really well versus Skarlet. Jade can evade tentacle and play around it really well. It's not the same at all. Having a move in and of itself that checks glow doesn't mean it's losing. The counterplay is different versus Shang.
has anyone tried pole vault variation against shang? can she actually run on reaction when she she's corpse drop and be able to evade it and punish
This is my main thing with Corpse Drop. It has some insane hit and block frames to the point where Jade MUST respect it every single time. If you block a corpse drop at mid range, you can't even do a reversal Nitro Kick safely.
