I'd sure love to see some Jax Ability descriptive screenshots! 
I never had a problem with his Bnbs online after the netcode change.
What are u talking about, there is nothing exceptionally hard about his midscreen combos. Its a simple run cancel.
yeah and a punishable d3/d4
Yea it's kinda all over the place. I'm just gonna reserve my judgement for release.
Yeah, -14 on a 10 frame d4 is a bit of an overkill
Yoo his framedata loooks fiiiire, do you also have his cosmetic stuff?Here you go Jax mains!!! This'll make it easier for you guys to see the frame data!!!
Enjoy!!!!
And btw, holy shit, this guy has +frames and overheads all over the place.
He also has a 9 frame launching knee mid that goes pretty far.
He also has a SAFE LAUNCHING OVERHEAD SPECIAL that leads into full combo. If you guys don't think this character is good after seeing that, I don't know what to tell you lol.
1) As far as his anti-air options, his D2 seems like it's one of the better ones because, similar to MKX, the hitbox hits behind him too it seems. In his second variation that isn't listed here (the one with the command grab/anti-air grab/string extender overhead) he has the special move anti-air/air-grab special.
You'd have to ask in the "Got it early, anything you want to know" thread. The video I got this frame data from only showed the first variation.
This is all I could screenshot from a stream I saw of some dude yesterday:
You cannot groundpound in the air. Not even when slotting the Ground Shatter ability.
The grenade launcher moves "Thumper"/db2 and "Up Thumper"/db2u as well as their amplified versions are both base kit moves.
It destroys/parries incoming projectiles and builds heat for one heat missile. Two heat missiles when amplified.
Quad Grab, dbf1
Dude thank you for such a thorough response! Awesome info.1) As far as his anti-air options, his D2 seems like it's one of the better ones because, similar to MKX, the hitbox hits behind him too it seems. In his second variation that isn't listed here (the one with the command grab/anti-air grab/string extender overhead) he has the special move anti-air/air-grab special.
2)
Grinnin' Barrett (Ripped/Duck and Weave Stance/Barricade):
This is his anti-zoning variation.
The Duck and Weave stance crouches under high projectiles and advances you forward so it's a great way of getting in. From the stance itself he could mixup relatively safely too which seems really strong.
The BIG thing here is Ripped though.
It's a safe overhead special move that could be used anytime during a string or in the neutral and it'll lead to a full combo. Sure, it's 29 frame startup so people will be able to react to it, but they'd have to be looking for it. On hit, I imagine he could tack this on at the end of some strings for a launch combo too.
Grinnin Barrett is going to do some SERIOUS damage safely, which is really dangerous.
Briggs Barricade cancels out projectiles and stores them as heat too. This plus the Duck and Weave stance make it a lot easier to deal with zoners.
Hunker Down (Quad Grab/Anti-Air-Grab and Air-Grab/String Extender Overhead):
If a Jax player is confident enough to get in on zoning without using Grinnin' Barrett, then I think they should definitely go with Hunker Down instead imo. The damage and utility you get from the command grab and anti-air grabs on this variation is ridiculous.
Jax is looking reeeally good. I think his biggest weakness will be the fact he will always have to be the aggressor vs strong zoning, but if someone doesn't mind being patient and always walking your opponent down, this character is a fucking monster. Thankfully he has great corner carry with Gotcha Grab.
- With heated arms amplified Quad Grab does almost 30% which is crazy for a command grab by itself.
- With so many moves that are + on block, having a command grab this strong is going to make Jax possibly the scariest character to have in your face.
- He could probably tick grab from D1 and D12 just in like MKX. This is just flat out crazy in a game where high damaging mixups aren't as common.
- He gets crazy damage off his anti-air grab and air-grabs.
- The String Extender Overhead, while not being an actual special move, brings TONS of utility because of the additional mixup tool that looks safe on block.
You'd have to ask in the "Got it early, anything you want to know" thread. The video I got this frame data from only showed the first variation.
This is all I could screenshot from a stream I saw of some dude yesterday:
I think these are questions for @esports1452 . I don't have the game yet, I've just been studying vids online like a maniac.
"Hunker Down" provides three throw special moves and three throw enders to strings, none of which increases "combo potential". So by definition, it is limited compared to "Grinnin' Barrett", which offers a launcher and a stance (with its own launching option).
Neither "Burning Hammer"/bf4 nor "(Air) Burning Hammer"/d1+3 provide combo potential in their amplified versions. They both add 50 damage to the base 120.
