I'll be interested to see how well he deals with zoning. I don't remember him looking particularly mobile, other than the new dash punch.

So I just rewatched the Jax kombat kast segment and good lord . . . his damage is so high. In the corner its just outrageous, but with fully overheated hands just his grab does 33%.

Have you ever seen the Rain?
I hope the gun is a move you must choose, and it's not in his main arsenal.

I really LOVE the way he shoots those cannons from his arms now, it makes sense he uses the heat for that!

Jax became so much better in this! I'm proud of them, It's pretty hard to impress me these days, and they just did.

.... they mostly come at night. Mostly.
yeah, those metal heat mechanic plus his boxing stance seems pretty creative stuff NRS did to Jax .... very good acquisitions , Jax need it ! :)

I WILL EAT THIS GAME
War Hero Jax remains my biggest HOLY SHIT surprise moment of the game so far, minus Skarlet coming back.
I knew I was gonna be magnetized to Noob no matter what, but I was NOT expecting to jump out of my seat for Maj. Jackson Briggs. But jump I did, and hype I am.

'ello baby, did you miss me?
Am I the only one who thinks Jax looks like he should have a shotgun instead of a grenade launcher? He really looks like a sawed-off type of dude in MK11.

In fact the grenade launcher they had in his breakdown almost looks like a sawed-off, with the wooden handle and everything... and the short range he uses it at in his moves and FB is actually very much like a shottie... so... it kinda pretty much already is?

...man, how awesome is it that I can say "Jax looks like a sawed-off type of dude in MK11." It's fuckin awesome. MK11 is cool.

I think he shouldn't have any of those... too many guns in the game already. But whatever, those will still prove useless against rock throwing water, bending, elder god that is growing 10times earth just to beam you to the ground.

I mean, MK11 isn't a game about a fighting tournament, it's a game about worlds invading other worlds. Why wouldn't people use guns?

If MK12 is about a tournament like in MK1 and MK2, I think it would make more sense to push for fewer guns then.

Yea it's not tournament anymore and I still miss the old times when we have ninjas, mistical powers and martial arts focus :) I'm just old skul I guess. Nevertheless Jax can still work as a gun-holder, but I just have a feeling that we have too many gun-based characters already. But ok, let's see how that works out eventually. I'm not a big Jax fan - you know that - but I will give him a chance cause - like it or not - he is OG and he is not stealing moves from other characters (yes, I'm referring latest addition here) :)

He's using a M79 grenade launcher, which has a wooden stock and kinda looks like a sawed-off. I'm cool with it. If he was using a sawed-off I fear people would start calling him an "INJUSTICE CHARACTER!!!" (Lobo lmao)

I'm glad they kinda toned-down his Heavy Weapons variation from MKX. I like my Jax to solve things using his metal fists!

So I noticed in his breakdown that whenever he grabbed or gotcha'd while at max heat he burns his opponent for extra damage.

What I noticed on this last Tyler v Derek belt battle was that it isn't just extra damage.

If he makes contact on any of his throws he gets guaranteed damage if he's at max heat, EVEN if it is tech'd(and presumably if he is hit by a delayed attack that would break him out of the animation). Essentially making his regular throw a mini-unblockable for a small slice of damage that means an awful lot at low health.

But more so than that, the interaction with multi-slam.

This bonus damage effect will trigger on EVERY chained grab, adding up on top of his buffed damage to make a fully heated multi-slam do devastating damage.

He has the new ducking and dash punch. Worst case scenario you have to rely on the good old patience and walk them down. As long as his pressure tools aren't ass you can pay back the receipt.

yeah i'm aware but at least we had the dash punch to close the distance, this new one seems like it goes a shorter distance

It goes further actually, the initial hit is short but it has a second hit that actually turn into a grab.

It's also faster than dash punch was.

i have a serrious question , im not trolling. ive been a jax player since mk2. played him in mkx and did local tourney with him. i felt at the begining that he was pretty good maybe top 10.

but then they nerfed him really bad with the stamina patch. after a combo breaker you have no combos and you cant do run cancel like you could before. then after they took his armor out of his dash fist because of a bug and never fixed it. keep in mind you can even fuzzy guard all his mixups.i feel everytime jax is good or top tier NRS put him into the ground just like they did in mk9 and mkx. Is it because his a rush down 50/50 character ? and people get salty because you getting mixed ? they forgot you have to actualy get in ? Mk11 seems zoning heavy it will be hard to get in.Even if jax is good my call is they will nerf him to shit again. Why ? ask paulo
