Jax Meter Building Data

[Aidan]

This is a continuation of my Meter Building project for all of the characters. This data gives you the basic tools for perfecting your meter game, so that's why there are only basic combos and specials. For block strings or more advanced combos you need to do the math yourself. Check out the General Meter Building Data Information.​

​

For blocked normals and specials, they all build 8.996212121% (for simplicity 8.996%) of meter per hit. So if you hit someone with 123 on block you build 26.988% because they were hit by 3 normals.​

​

For blocked specials, you build meter on the initial use of the special and the extra meter because it was blocked. For example, if you use Energy Wave you build the initial 3.725% of meter, but if it hits a blocking opponent then you add 8.996% which results in 12.722% of meter build.​

​

This applies to all characters so Kitana or Kabal for example build the same 8.996% on block.​

​

There is no initial gain from EX attacks.​

​

You also build meter by taking damage.​

It takes 48% damage to build one bar.​

This general information will tell you specifically how much build by the amount of damage you take.​

You don't build meter when taking block chip damage.​

Man the meter gain on a block f413 in the corner is stupid. It's takes only two reps to get one bar and five or six to get max. It's dumb, but awesome. Also, I'll make sure omega adds this to the guide.

 

[Aidan]

Bump for updates

 

[PND OmegaK]

hmm, I'm sure I remember stickying this. Good job man, thanks for the info.

I think you misread it. It takes 3.7 reps (4) for a bar of meter when f413 is blocked. I had to sit and stare at this for about 5 minutes because the opponent meter building section seemed to have unusually large numbers, but they are taking damage after all. Jax basic strings are also strong as fuck to boot.

 

[CY MasterHavik]

Oh ok. thanks Phil. That's still stupid meter gain.

Jax basic strings are also strong as fuck to boot.

The reason the numbers are so large is because it takes only 48% damage for 1 bar. So a 12% attack builds the opponent 25% of meter. That's why the numbers are basically double the damage.
