Now that players like Tyrant and CD Jr have shown the world how to effectively play with Jax, do you still think he needs buffs like so many said before a month ago?
So he needs a low launcher with frame advantage? NO THANKS
Umm yea why not?
Because currently you can press f4, 1, 3 -> d1 -> f4, 1, 3. It's a frame trap that is difficult for most people to poke out of especially if they don't understand that Jax is at advantage. Giving him the ability to get big combos off of it as well would make it a multipurpose tool that is way to strong, you don't apply all those properties to one string.
yea i guess but couldnt they change the properties of the string because it pretty much pointless unless in the corner, also why you would guys only want 20's meterless? Thats way to little for a power grappler, thats worse than kano
Well I guess the idea is that it pushes them towards the corner which is Jax's ultimate goal. There is enough time when the string is landed to whiff a dash punch and then pressure with another f4, 1, 3 string. Low starting combos tend to destroy wake up attacks more so than anything in the game, else so this is pretty good.
You can always dash forward and do a medium ground pound or play mind games and dash cancel in to a dash punch, or cancel the string an do a gotcha grab.
So im guessing Jax would be classified as a mind game punisher? Ive seen CD use him like that but i though maybe that was just his specific playing style. Ill give jax a try, i really only know his corner stuff.
It really depends on your opponent and how they are playing. Reason why I say cancel in to dash punch is because it takes way to long for jax to be able to block after. Using a far gp against subzero helps a lot if they aren't fast and just hide behind an ice clone, catches them off guard and puts them on edge...but wont' stop the clones lol, I usually try to ex dp through the clone and stay in their face. *hold back when doing ex dp*
Yea the idea behind his knock down are also to bait out reactions. If you are charging a ground pound this will make people want to jump, so if they jump you can dash punch them. You could also just see if they decide not to jump and let the ground pound rip then dash forward and quickly 1 dash 1 dash 1 dash 1, 2 dash punch or air gotcha grab depending on what will throw them closer to the corner or just dash punch them if you can't pull the air juggle in time.
Very true, im hoping more and more tactics are revealed and hopefully this would explain some of the weird character design
