Match-Up Discussion - Jax Uncle Jax what are you're worst match ups?

[Phanatic]

I want to perfect Jax I been using him and only him since day one. I want to learn all the match ups and Jax weakness.
Me personally I feel like scorpion and subzero are the worst I have trouble with. How can we unite and conquer all?

What characters do you have trouble with the most as Jax and why?

 

[MadPropz101]

Sonya, because mixups inside mixups.

 

[ZigZag]

I've never seen someone incorrectly use you're before, it's usually the other way around.
Gotta give props to that.

 

[Sulfur]

Sub zero is easily jax's worst match up at 4-6

 

[greedface]

Goro, specifically the fire breath nacho back variation

 

[Salad Petresky]

Cassie, jax can't even use his f21 if she ducks block...

 

[Phanatic]

I'll admit lately I been having trouble with goro too.

Mileena is mine. Even though she's unsafe, her ball is able to punish and avoid most of Jax's tools, her mixup game is solid, and you can't zone her out.

I haven't been having as much trouble with SZ as I used to. In Pumped Up you can zone him pretty well as long you watch out for MB Ice Ball, and X-ray gets you out of clone traps in the corner and puts SZ in instead.

Cheetos beat Jax for free 9 - 1.

I forgot about mileena. And yeah I hate you can't zone her.

Full screen ground slam in pumped up shuts down everything mileena does at full screen.

What's she gonna do?
Ball - Ground Slam
Sai - Ground Slam
Stand there - Ground slam
Jump neutral - Ground slam
Jump forward - lunge punch
Tele Kick - Ground Slam
Air Tele Kick - Ground Slam/ Lunge depending on the scenario

She can't jump them and air teleport punish? Or just jump them and work her way in?

 

[Sulfur]

That's a struggle, air tele still goes to the ground so ground slam can punish it.

 

[Sulfur]

And yes she can jump ground slams but if she's jumping all the time punish her for it, that's the mind games bruh.

I'm not sure I follow... Sorry.

 

[s_paulik87]

Inferno Scorpion... cuz fuck that guy. can't jump, cant stay on the ground, can't get within a mile ._.

 

[Deleted member 5032]

You can jump ground pound on reaction, leading to air tele punish 100% of the time. What read is there to make?

 

[Phanatic]

Are we implying pumped up better than heavy and wrestler?

 

[GAV]

Are we implying pumped up better than heavy and wrestler?

More versatile, but better, ... no.

 

[Deleted member 5032]

Wrestler or Heavy Weapons might be better against characters like Mileena who can punish the Pumped Up -9 Gotcha, since theirs is only -4. Otherwise I think Pumped Up handles most matchups as good if not better than the other two.

 

[Northern Slasher]

Personally for me it's Kitana and Mileena. Sub Zero is not a bad MU against Pumped Up.

 

[Sulfur]

I'm not sure I follow... Sorry.

Struggle for mileena she has a harder time getting in than you'd think Lots of her Moves have insane Startup aside from ball.

 

[Phanatic]

Me personally I do not like pumped up. Only because the gotcha grab I can't do certain setups in the corner and in the middle of the screen the gotcha knocks them further away from me

we only use gotcha at midscreen if it's EX gotcha used as a reversal special.
the restand gives you +4, and removes wakeups, if anything it leads to more setups!

You don't use the gotcha in the corner?
