I just think there's a lack of knowledge when it comes to the Jabs. There's only one player in the US who truly uses the GJ's to their potential, Marv. And besides that, there's only a few players who can use the GJ's effectively. Most players have no clue about the GJ's, so they don't use them or know how to beat them. Which creates an enormous skill gap between the players who do use them and have experience against them. I'm not saying GJ's are the only reason these select few are good, just that there's almost no way they can lose vs a player who doesn't use them or doesn't know how to beat them.
The competition just isn't there for UMK3. At the highest levels, you need to be able to use and defend against the GJ's. And there's only a handful of people that can do that. Even when players find out about the GJ's, most of them drop the game because the idea of it is retarded. I used to get irked at the people that would say UMK3 is just "jab jab jab jab", but it's true. That's not all it is but that's what it looks like, and that's what takes place for the majority of the matches.
Anyway, my point is that too few of people have knowledge of the GJ's or utilize them. I think if competition is going to grow, people are going to have to start taking the GJ's to the MarvinrastaMAX and beyond. If you see someone not using the GJ's, tell them about them. We can't improve as a community if people aren't playing at their best, with all of the game's options available and known to them.
