People should listen to
@Awesomo because he regularly goes dead-even with the names you mentioned (aside from Tyrant who plays with a different group) with both Jax and Cage, has found a silly amount of Jax tech along with myself and
@EGP Wonder_Chef and is just a general monster. Dude is on the same level - after playing with most of them it's pretty easy to see that out here we're all pretty similarly ahead of the rest of the curve (minus myself because I'm hot garbage).
Besides, if you decided not to listen to anyone who got beasted by Tyrant in MK9, you'd be taking advice from maybe eight people. Great argument there, buddy.
Nothing in this game (that I'm seeing) is as good as launch Superman. This is due in part to him being absolutely broken and also because this game isn't Injustice and he was just able to abuse the game mechanics (re: interactables) like no other aside from arguably Black Adam.
Before 1.06, I'm fully comfortable saying that Jax is on-par with him and superior post-final nerf. Granted this isn't Injustice, but Awesomo makes essentially all valid points in his analysis. This isn't some salty dude who got dumpstered coming in saying everything Jax has is ridiculous, this is a top level Jax player being realistic about how good the character is. If you really understand how jailing strings like f21 work in this game combined with the ability to condition your opponent, f21 xx Straight Dash / Energy Wave mixup absolutely
shits on f23 xx Breath. If people are throwing out d4 between f21 xx Anything, aside from some that low profile like hell they'll get tagged. You
cannot duck Jax's high-specials off of strings, this is absolutely nuts.
I can keep going, but I think you get the point. I'm sure Chef will have much more to add if he wants to post here as well.
anyways for the only serious question in this post, jax has alot of the same things superman has like great zoning and counter zoning(pumped up:ground pound and air ground pound, heavy weapons : rockets) great neutral (f21 is insane in the neutral, if your getting stuffed witha d4 then thats on you because that move is legit! and it cancels into a +8 projectile while although it can be neutral ducked for some reason f21 increases their hurtbox so you can gotcha grab or dash punch on a read and blow up their option to neutral duck) and his corner game is just as flowchart as supermans(once you get them with gotcha grab you d12, your at enough advantage to get a free mix up on block those strings lead into another mix up[same as before projectile, gotcha grb, dash punch or overhead dash punch] so in the corner he gets supermans pressure but with a 50/50) his pressure is very similar to supermans as well, its very "bursty" is the word Im looking for I guess.
