Sonya vs. Jax isn't bad. It's even. Sektor isn't that bad either. Jax rapes him. the only shitty matchups for him Cage, Raiden, and sometimes KL. KL is annoying, but manger able. And Sindel is free as well. Jax has so many ways to rape her.
Sektor can iatu on reaction to anything you do at range, and once you finally get in you have to be extremely careful in how you pressure because of his low hitbox. Thankfully he has no armour moves so he's pretty free on wakeup, and his up missiles can be beaten by a gp afaik. It's not incredibly bad, but I think it's harder for Jax than it is for Sektor.
Multi grab inputs are:
Do you mind if I ask who you play against who uses Skarlett? I dont have much experience against her, but she has given me a fair bit of trouble in the few amount of times I've fought her. She's a very under rated character.
reo was using her for like two weeks sometime ago even though he wasnt using her to her full pontential i could tell that if he was it will be really hard for me to win with jax
The reason I don't think Sonya is a bad match up for Jax is because I can stuff cartwheel with gotcha grab. And I also know I don't get blown up close. It's a fair fight. The reason why I think Cage is a bad match up, but Sonya isn't because......CAGE is all block stings. BTw, vs. low hitbox characters I suggest we us 1,2, dash punch to get them into the corner to make them block f413. If I recall every character is jail in the corner if they block f413. So I suggest you make that a apart of your game plan against those characters.
you are doing this Multi-Grab, where there Input window?I have never failed, there may be something else to press.Multi grab inputs are:
1+3 (to throw)
1+4 (during second slam) adds 2%
2+3 (during third slam) adds 2%
2+4 (during fourth slam)
1+2+3+4 (during fifth slam) adds 2% and calls the opponent ugly
The fact you can gotcha grab cartwheel doesn't really mean much, it's helpful but very situational, I dont see it being a huge game changer. Sonya is just as much block strings as cage is too, she has some really dumb stuff up close, I'd say shes worse than cage in that department because there's a lot more you have to respect. How will 12 dash punch help? That entire string hits high.
Hold back as the arm hits the opponent.
I don't think anyone even uses that string. I have a really good jax and I never use it. I don't think I have ever seen CDjr or Tyrant use it either.
You have to wait a second before you pres the d1. If Jax just crouches then you did it too early.
Outside of the corner his only true launchers are Ground Pounds and NJP. 2f2b1 can be followed up with air gotcha, its very situational, but can be used if you're in the corner and you want to put the opponent in it. Personally, I rarely ever use it.
I don't understand why more people don't use 2 F2 B1 AirGotcha as a punisher mid screen. It does a lot more damage than F4 1 3 which I see a lot of people use as punishers. Can someone explain this to me? Do you like F4 1 3 for the mid ground pound on wakeup opportunity? It seems like that move isn't very good now that there is an extra frames on wakeup, can't the opponent just jump on wakeup and not get hit, or am I timing it wrong? anyways, I'll go for the extra initial damage every time.
Ok cool, I will work on it.
I never really go for f413 much, only on block. I much prefer the options you get when you leave the string at f41, because you get another guarenteed f4 (the opponent can block it). Once they start respecting that you can do all sorts of stuff like throws, cross ups, other strings, basic mind play really. f4 is 5 frames faster than standing 2 also, so for punishing things like Reptile's dash it's much more reliable.
Well, what I like to do is make them guess on wakeup. It works good too. After the F4,1,3 you can do your mid ground pound and if they don't jump, obviously the ground pound launches them and you can dash in for your combo. So the next time I do the F4,1,3 this time I will do the ground pound, but I will cancel out of it and jump kick and air throw them in the air. Now they have to guess as to what you are gonna do. Sometime they will try and NJP after the F4,1,3 thinking that it will beat the ground pound and the jump kick will be to far away to hit them, so I will sometime cancel the ground pound and go into a dash punch.
A lot of moves are punishable by 2 f2 b1 AGG that I only see punished by F4 1 3 even by tournament players.
