Strategy - Jason Voorhees Jason meter efficiency and best usage

[GGA Jeremiah]

Here is a list of efficiency for Jason using meter, starting with the least efficient use to most efficient use of meter. Let's find out the best way to use meter as Jason and when we should and shouldn't use meter for something.

U= Unstoppable Jason or Relentless Jason with no damage passive
R= Relentless Jason with max passive (1.75 multiplier)
S= Slasher Jason
All= Universal for all variations
BnB= Bread and Butter combo. For U=B1,2,2,x2, 1,1,1,choke = 25% S=? I need help with Slasher. I have never touched him until today and don't know his BnB.

OFFENSIVE USE
BnBs. Instead of using choke replacing it with a metered move
2% U= Bnb with Choke Slam or Crippler or Spine Shatter. 25% to 27%
2.66% U= BnB with x-ray. From 25% to 33% for 3 bars
3% R= Bnb with Choke Slam or Crippler or Spine Shatter. 44% to 47%
5% R= BnB with x-ray. From 44% to 59% for 3 bars

Doing a metered special and it lands naked.
3% S= Shoulder Charge over Shoulder Push. 13% from 10%
5% U= Choke Slam over Choke. 18% from 13%
5% U= Spine Shatter over Back Breaker. 19% from 14%
6% U= Crippler over Tight Squeeze. 19% from 13%
6% U= Temple Slam over Temple Punch 13% from 7%
6% S= Machete Throw over Machete Toss. 15% from 9%
7% U= Corpse Slam over Corpse Grab. 17% from 10%
7% S= Blood Lust over Bloodshed. 20% from 13%
8% R= Spine Shatter over Back Breaker. 33% from 25%
9% R= Choke Slam over Choke. 32% from 23%
9.75% R= Temple Slam over Temple punch 22% from 12.25%
10% R= Crippler over Tight Squeeze. 33% from 23%
11% S= Hack n Slash over Psycho Slash. 22% from 11%
12% R= Corpse Slam over Corpse Grab. 30% from 18%
18% U= B1 Crippler on hit. 21% from 3%
31.75% R= B1 Crippler on hit. 37% from 5.25%

Doing a metered special and it lands only BECAUSE it was armored.
10.66% All. Naked x-ray. 32% 3 bars
13% U= Temple Slam
13% S= Shoulder Charge
15% S= Machete Toss
18% U= Choke Slam
18.66% R= Naked x-ray. 56% 3 bars
19% U= Spine Shatter or Crippler.
20% S= Bloodlust
22% R= Temple Slam
22% S= Hack n Slash
32% R= Choke Slam
33% R= Spine Shatter or Crippler

Unstoppable only. Using Rampant and armor breaking a fool.
38% U= BnB

DEFENSIVE USE
7.75% U= 2 exact bars for Resurrect. 15.5% health
8.5% U= 3 exact bars for Resurrect. 25.5% health
9% U= heal Corpse Walk
10.5% U= 1 exact bar for Resurrect

Breakers. Coming soon. Based on match up.

Conclusion.
Jason is EXTREMELY meter inefficient by meter burning specials at the end of a combo. His best use of meter comes when he uses armor on an opponent and it lands while they are attacking. Even with that being his best meter efficiency he still is not very efficient in meter. Relentless at max damage is a gimmick and will not happen that often. Take someone like Goro for example if he launches you with his armored punch walk he is like 36% meter efficient where a typical Jason in an average situation is at best around 20% with the use of 1 bar. However a landed combo due to armor break is Jason most efficient use of meter in the game if used at the right time.

Excellent uses of meter for Jason in standard circumstances

• B1 Crippler on hit or block
• Hack n Slash if it armors an opponents move
• Bloodlust if it armors an opponents move
• Crippler or Back Breaker if it armors an opponents move

I really want to look at breakers now to see how efficient it is for Jason to use meter for breakers. They might be more efficient than using it for offense in some situations.

Is this layout confusing? Any tips would be appreciated. Do you have any questions?

I've never understood why using meter in Unstoppable and Relentless combos is so inefficient. NRS is just really opposed to giving those two variations good base damage. And, Slasher does such good meterless damage, that his meter is best left for armor as well.

Yeah going in I knew that Jason was pretty low on meter efficiency. However I was very pleasantly surprised to see how good b1, Crippler is. Adding that to Unstoppable and Relentless is an absolute must now for all Jason mains.

Slasher's main BnB is f4,2(x3) 111, df1. 38% meterless

 

[KeyserSoze]

Two things I wanted to mention:

1) Slasher's main bnb goes from f42 (x3) ,111, df1. (38% - meterless) to f42 (x3) ,111, ex-df1 (42% - one bar)

(Note: The 111~df1 can be highly inconsistent and I generally just use 12~df1 or 11~df1 for 1% less)

2) In Unstoppable, I prioritize hit advantage over damage (since our base combo damage is so meager, anyway) by ending combos in either 111, bf3, or b2, so that I can always get a buff on the screen. BUT, if I do end with an ex-special, the one I like to use is actually ex-corpse slam because it has 18 frames of hit advantage AND leaves the opponent close enough (barely - depends on the spacing) for a tight squeeze, b122, or b1~tight squeeze.

New Jason here, I have found the same with the combos. I only use meter for the armor. I want to know if you have found anything else, you said you would check about keeping it for breakers.
I also use the ex choke slam for gaps and breaking their pressure and I use the ex clothesline when at a distance against zoners to get in.
