It's the best variation hands down. He only sucks against Jade.
Lol I dropped too. Being a Jax main is depressing once you stop facing scrubs. This in-person tourney scene death took its toll.
Havent played any online yet, but here are my builds:The enhanced outranked string is in all of my builds because I firmly believe it is the most annoying string in the game that could potentially make jax broken with this patch. It is the epitome of what jax playstyle is and imo is his most powerful tool besides stiff armed. It allows you to do what jax is all about
ressure.
I was playing around with it a little yesterday and I found that it actually has a utility as a check after certain normals. it's -9 on block, so it's good to throw out as a way to check people after a d4 and leaves you safe from outside jab range. The issue with this move on Jax is that safety has never been something he struggles with, so I'm not sure why this ability would be good on him.
Pointless ability that sounds cool on paper, but when you see how actually slow it is you realize that it's useless. NRS is really good at making useless moves.
That is a great mix. I personally dont like lethal clap because its utility outside of combo extenders is weak; it doesnt really have crazy hit advantage. And since enhanced outranked starts out high, I dont see how the hit advantage from clap demands respect, because people can just poke out of it.
In my labbing experience it's best to use it after you land a hit with d3 or any move that has hit advantage of +13 or more.
So my problem with it is how do you get it to restand in the first place? Like how do you get clap to land when it isnt a fast move. I see how if you have heat you can use to special cancel a string, but is that the only way to get it to land?
You can also you use it after getting lethal clap to hit, since lethal clap restands. I admit it is risky using it without getting hit advantage first because it's an 11 frame high in a low poke, low profile heavy game.
It's not an auto restand. It only restands a standing opponent. So if you do it in a combo, it's either a combo ender or launcher depending on your heat level and your choice to amp it.
Your loadout is definitely really strong. The 2,2,11,2,2 string combo/variants with command grab are absurd although I personally don't use this loadout. I use something different that I like which is ground shatter(low ground pound), ripped the combo launcher and expert grappler.
Yeah, I feel like Expert Grappler is definitely "essential". Without it there just isn't as much to fear from his staggers and you lose an easy KB (that can be combo'd into with Ripped) and easy heat generation.
I dunno, I definitely wouldn't put Kitana in the same boat as Cetrion even with low fan because on a correct read for low fan you can get a full jump in punch combo and send her to the corner, Cetrion has zoning that covers every part of the screen and safe specials that push you back constantly. I know Kitana's amp low fan is safe, but it has a flawless block gap that makes it punishable/removes pushback if she tries doing it up close.
I have sworn myself to the life of Grappler so I will forever struggle against Cetrion...but getting to use Terminator's teleport in competitive settings has been an absolute blessing for the Cetrion matchup.
There are tons of brutalities in this game that you cannot get right now. I'm sure itll end up being a Kombat League brutality.
