[Eh SnOwY]

Your* worst matchup... Sorry

 

[STRYKIE]

You can but it's definitely a challenge. Once you get in on him it can turn really bad for him but once he tries to zone you it's hard to get in at times.

 

[KIllaByte]

I'm a pumped up player, by the way, yeah.

You don't use the gotcha in the corner?

My grammar there in my post was off.
I pretty much only use super gotcha in the corner as combo ender or quick armor, it was a response to a wrestler Jax complaining that Pumped up super gotcha sent the opponent too far away.
I replied by saying that most midscreen Jax combos end with F2,1, 2, 2+4 anyway, so it's not that big of a deal what super gotcha in pumped up does at midscreen.

I think Jax suffers against small characters a lot more than most do. I predict that as Tanya's meta develops she's gonna be one of Jax's worst matchups

 

[youthinkyoubadyouaintbad]

subzero, makes u go freeze like popsicle when i want to go boomtown

 

[Skylight1]

Could Mournful Kitana server as a problem? What about Necromancer/Impostor Shinnok?

 

[Conflict_90]

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

Hahaha ass^

 

[omooba]

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

why? i mean he doesn't have an advantage over jax that he doesn't have over every character. it might actually be favorable for jax in heavy weapons and pumped up cause 1) heavy weapons can easily get through the clone with machine gun and pumped up's ground pound ducks under the ice ball.

 

[omooba]

IMO the only bad match ups are
1) [3-7] cassie - F212, possibly his most important string whiffs on her crouch blocking which makes it a lot more difficult to get your pressure started. the flip kick also gets out of all midscreen pressure including run cancels.
2) [3-7] mileena- F2 occasionally whiffs when she's crouch blocking, and always whiffs when crouching. also she can roll as a reversal under a lot of his pressure for a full combo. and lastly exroll out of all of his pressure for full combo.
3) [4.4-5.5] - basically any character who's fast armored move gives a full combo sooo goro raiden kung lao kung jin etc

 

[Undergroundepict]

I usually just zone Cassie out, using Pumped Up. She has difficulty accounting for that energy wave/ground pound combo.

 

[Pterodactyl]

I don't know about worst but Mileena gives me some real problems with her stupid low profiling.

I think the key to fighting milenna is patience, bating and full combo punishing. The moment she goes for a telekick you want to block the kick then squat low, being as though most milenna players will delay their recovery by throwing a sai, you then will punish after the sai whiff. It's easier if you low block the entire move accordingly because it makes it easier to punish. You really have no reason to stand block against her full screen. Same goes for her ex ball. You have to pay attention to her meter. Incorporate those tactics with baiting her out by leaving holes in your pressure for her to ARMOR through then blow her to hell. If she doesn't have meter you can literally bulldog her until you take the fight. Hope this helps.

Liu Kang gives me a lot of trouble, actually. Fast normals, good wakeups, impossible to zone out. His low fireballs are more annoying than Milleena's low sai.

Lol no problem man. Just trying to help guide the blind.

 

[Error404]

Cassie easily . Everything whiffs on her.

 

[Undergroundepict]

Pumped Up

 

[Conflict_90]

Pumped Up

I'm not too familiar with that variation because I play HW. Are you on psn?

 

[EMPRESS_SunFire]

Ok I'm just gonna speak up in this... How is Mileena having to commit to unsafe af stuff to get out of his pressure a good thing for her? Sorry but you guys can just bait and punish her, then she will think twice before throwing a roll or ED roll to get out of pressure. Being able to crouch his F2 is good but then just don't throw it out there and she is not simply going to stay in crouch mode since he has that overhead dashpunch.

Usually when Mileena has to go for EX roll and roll as her only options it means that it's a bad MU and yeah, it's a bad MU for her IMO.
