i already made one and it seems way better than just complaining in the character thread because you actually talk to a person that can change stuff

celest mural
gray pollen
#

if jake gets a buff im gonna be #1

celest mural
#

Lets just focus on fixing him first LOL

fair heart
#

If you think Jake is 20 times weaker than any character in this game you are so so wrong im sorry

#

I hope you were exaggerating

gray pollen
#

honestly jake is only 3x weaker

#

but 3x is a lot

#

3 hit combo 14 dmg , shaggy does 15 on sidesig

#

like tf

fair heart
#

I mean unfortunately thats the state of the game rn

#

there are the top 9 characters

#

huge gap

#

everybody else

gray pollen
#

if jake gets a buff im gonna slam all the bugs mains

fair heart
#

true

gray pollen
#

do you even play jake

fair heart
#

Yeah I do

gray pollen
#

dont you see?

fair heart
#

I have him level 6 atm

#

And I played him in the beta until marvin came out

#

The only things that really suck is not being able to anti air consistently and up b breaking my game

#

I think a sair and up tilt should have hurt boxes one frame after their hitbox comes out

#

so they can be counterpoked but can also counter poke

gray pollen
#

jake in beta was way better

fair heart
#

Yeah he was top tier

#

now he is mid tier

gray pollen
#

i think he is one of the worst right now

#

he actually has hurtboxes on every attack so that means he gets equal trades in best case

fair heart
#

Yeah Id say but he isnt garbage but my other main is also one of the worst in 1s atm so I guess I dont feel it too bad

#

Velma and Jason are like D tier

#

Jake is def better than them

#

he is like C

#

the problem is the difference between top tiers and everyone else is a huge gap

gray pollen
#

jason does 15 dmg per hit

#

jake does 5

#

thats the problem

fair heart
#

its much easier to get hits with jake

gray pollen
#

jake is basically the second worst character out there

#

theoretically yes

fair heart
#

Jake is def better than Jason

#

Jason is too big and slow

gray pollen
#

its easier to get hits with jake because of the mid range punch

#

but

fair heart
#

with his only upside being hit hard

gray pollen
#

the punch has hurtbox that results in equal trade

fair heart
#

but thats just not a problem with good players

gray pollen
#

so its basically a 50/50 fight

fair heart
#

well thats not a fair argument because punch and up tilt arent his only move and as I said I agree

gray pollen
#

and jakes skateboard very rarely hits for all 3 hits now

#

so low active time

fair heart
#

skateboard shouldnt hit all three hits consistently imo

#

you should have to read di

gray pollen
#

yeah but the fact that the first hit is insanely hard to hit doesnt make sense

gray pollen
#

but for now jake just seems unfair

fair heart
#

what wiuld be the issue?

gray pollen
#

doesnt have potential to outskill

fair heart
#

yeah as I said every non-top tier feels unfair

gray pollen
#

only potential for 50/50 dmg

fair heart
#

im sorry but every stretchy limbs character in fgs has hurtboxes

#

to add outplay potential

gray pollen
#

mhm

#

ok

#

one easy fix brodie

#

literally just make light attacks do more dmg

#

his damage is sub par , every other character does double dmg than him

fair heart
#

yeah he needs buff but he is being downplayed im ngl

#

just from my experience with him

gray pollen
#

honestly if he did 4 more dmg per attack he would be great , and maybe skateboard active time a lil longer because its insanely hard to hit

fair heart
#

like if you looked at this channel you would think he is like dr mario or little mac level

gray pollen
#

thats all the changes he needs to be great

fair heart
#

agree those are fair buffs

gray pollen
#

ez

celest mural
fair heart
#

well there is no tone in texts im sorry for not picking that up

#

no need to be aggressive

celest mural
#

My apologies

fair heart
#

would you agree with the buff to add jakes stretchy hurtboxes a frame after the hit box is out to make it so he can counterplay but also be counterplayed?

celest mural
#

Tbh no

fair heart
#

why not

celest mural
#

Because its a spacing attack

#

it should be able to space

#

jake needs some safe moves

fair heart
#

it would be able to

celest mural
#

with a tight window that would be punished by lingering hitboxes or armor

#

its a bad idea

fair heart
#

what stretchy limb character just has no hurtboxes on punches?

celest mural
#

jake hasnt been in a fighting game before

fair heart
celest mural
#

besides brawlhalla

celest mural
#

or if it has armor

fair heart
#

yes it would the hitbox would come out before the the hurtbox

celest mural
#

Theres absolutely no reason to have a hurtbox in his attack

fair heart
#

you would hit them out of their “lingering hitbox” if you had good spacing

celest mural
#

it was perfectly fine without it

#

You have to charge it to get its max range

#

thats punishable enough

fair heart
#

stretchy punch was anything but punishable enough in the beta

gray pollen
#

if jake had no hurtboxes on his long punch he would be s+ tier

#

no need for that

celest mural
#

its like a projectile with a hurt box

#

even jakes upsmash axe has a hurtbox

#

thats so dumb

fair heart
#

id agree with that

#

because its supposed to be an anti air

celest mural
#

exactly

#

it makes hitting things like taz's spin more punishing to urself

#

u cant out range taz's spins u have to wait until before or after he does it

#

instead of being able to punish

#

because ur launching ur hurtbox towards him

fair heart
#

punch needs a hurtbox though not the same frames as the hitbox but

celest mural
#

I dont think it does

fair heart
#

1+ frames after the hitbox comes out

celest mural
#

other characters have spacing tools that dont

#

why does jake need it?

fair heart
#

what melee spacing tools without hurtboxes are as strong as jake sair

celest mural
#

with how slow he is and with how much endlag?

celest mural
fair heart
#

he feels just as slow as everyone else besides the top tiers/arya

celest mural
#

no he does not lol

fair heart
celest mural
#

his downair takes 3 business days

gray pollen
#

jake cant compete with projectile champs anyway so

celest mural
#

idk why ur hard defending this giant nerf

gray pollen
#

what can you do

fair heart
#

because he isnt like bottom tier

#

he is like mid tier

celest mural
#

whats wrong with having a safe move with range?

fair heart
#

other characters need to be brought to everyones level

celest mural
#

just punish the wiff by hitting the main body

#

jake is definitely lower mid

#

not just mid

#

or dodge it?

#

parry it?

#

theres no excuse to keep a hitbox on his fair

fair heart
#

well my other main is also around lower mid in 1s so i dont see mich difference from marv to jake

#

as I said the issue

#

is there are the top 10 characters

#

huge gap

celest mural
#

no its not just that

fair heart
#

everyone else

celest mural
#

jake has no priority

#

none

#

that needs a fix

fair heart
#

why should he just get priority

#

that was his problem

#

he constantly had priority for free

celest mural
#

on some moves like down special?

#

that should have it for sure

#

fist needs a little too

fair heart
#

just by playing neutral in the beta he had priority and it felt like garbage

celest mural
#

and axe definitely needs it

#

down special like kirbys from smash should have priority

fair heart
#

I agree

celest mural
#

its like playing on thin ice

fair heart
#

I have been Ive said that

celest mural
#

this is worse

fair heart
#

i agree

#

jake can compete with everyone but top tiers and thats a lot of characters issue

celest mural
#

top tiers excluded

#

he needs priority on some moves

fair heart
#

i agree

#

axe shouldnt have a hurtbox

#

its an anti air

celest mural
#

he gets out prioritized by EVERYONE

#

by everything

#

this character needs a big buff

fair heart
#

not a big buff

#

just a buff

celest mural
#

yes a big buff imo

gray pollen
#

i just told yall what he needs buffed

#

its not a lot

celest mural
#

jake was gutted

gray pollen
#

slagater you are just bad at the game

#

jake can outplay

#

just needs 4 extra dmg on attacks and skateboard duration a lil longer

celest mural
#

no reason to attack me personally lol

fair heart
#

If jake got all his hurtboxes removed wed be almost square one

celest mural
#

You have to be ultra careful

celest mural
#

i think thats fair

fair heart
#

fair needs what I said the change should be

celest mural
#

I think its really unnecessary to have to be frame perfect

#

with 1 frame thats insane

gray pollen
celest mural
#

u just said "You're just bad at the game"

#

u have no idea how i play

gray pollen
#

he is still good but with a slight dmg buff and slightly longer skate he is great

fair heart
#

you wouldnt have to be frame perfect you would just have to have good spacing

#

if sair hurtbox was a frame after its hitbox

celest mural
#

u need to be able to cancel skates endlag

fair heart
#

a good jake would be able to punch taz out of nado

celest mural
#

u have to commit so hard to the move

fair heart
#

but if you whiff you can get punished

celest mural
fair heart
#

BRO

#

IF YOU HIT THE TAZ

#

IT WONT LINGER

wary sage
celest mural
#

1 frame is not a lot of room

fair heart
#

its the first frame

#

of when the move comes out

#

thats the hitbox

#

if you hit the move

#

they wont contest it

#

if you whiff you can get punished

celest mural
#

but one frame?

#

it should ATLEAST be a few more than 1

#

I just dont see why they cant just punish the main body honestly

fair heart
#

okay 2 or 3 it wouldnt make a difference

celest mural
#

on a whiff

fair heart
celest mural
#

dodge parry or rush closer

#

we have toools now for this

fair heart
#

you shouldnt be able to mindlessly throw out a move essp now

#

without attack decay

celest mural
#

and it has endlag

#

and CHARGE on it

fair heart
#

attack decay almost balanced sair in the beta

#

if someone counter pokes you with the change I suggested

#

you deserve to get hit

#

it was outplaying

#

right now ill admit a lot of the trades mindlessly happen

celest mural
#

it makes no sense

#

like every other character in the game

#

He wouldnt be unstoppable or unpunishable

#

the move is telegraphed

#

its very punishable even without the hurtbox on it

#

not nearly as much but it wouldnt be OP

gray pollen
#

jake is 80% arms

#

why should he be body only i dont get that

#

he would be unpunishabl

celest mural
#

By ur logic he would have a hurtbox on his entire upspecial 🤣

#

He can be punished up close or by characters with projectiles/more range

#

The top 50 jakes seem to all agree that jake needs good changes

#

One of them being to remove hurtboxes in his extended limbs

gray pollen
#

jake would be broken

celest mural
#

I dont think i will

agile fractal
#

I Also Think Unlike Another Character With Long Arms In A Platform Fighter (Min Min.) Jake’s Moves Aren’t As Fast And Can’t Cover As Much Space, I Feel Like The Limb Hitting Thing Really Should Be Flipped.

celest mural
#

My goodness thank you

#

You beautiful human being

agile fractal
#

Min Min Fails Because She Opressive And Not Fun (Even Coming From Someone Who Mains Kirby, Someone Who Counters Her Due To His Nair And Copy Ability.) But Jake Has No Oppression And Everything Is Insanely Risky.

celest mural
agile fractal
#

I Get The Point That Their Bait And Punish (Infact Even Like Kirby.) But The Punish They Get For The Risk Doesn’t Feel Good Enough In My Opinion.

gray pollen
celest mural
#

Or simply move out of the way

#

Or space properly

gray pollen
#

you can dodge attacks too

#

so thats a bad argument

#

just go play and win

#

ez

celest mural
#

Not while in the attack

gray pollen
#

attack off timing brah

celest mural
#

Which again is not necessary

celest mural
#

Yari said it perfectly

#

Its not bullet fast

#

And u have to charge it for range

#

It should be safer

#

Its already punishable without the hurtbox on it

#

Just hit the main body

gray pollen
#

i already said what i think should be changed and i think i said it best ngl

celest mural
#

If anything ur reliant on hitting his hand which takes less skill

gray pollen
#

go read above and stop crying bout your main being bad

celest mural
#

Hit the main body

gray pollen
#

go make a ticket and go sleep

celest mural
#

Nah

agile fractal
# celest mural Yari said it perfectly

Thank You, I’ve Researched A lot Of Stuff In Game Design And I’ve Played Platform Fighters All My Life, Granted I’ve Only Played 2 Franchises Being Smash And Multi But I Still Like Them :3.

celest mural
#

Im gonna stay right here thanks tho

celest mural
#

I respect it a lot

gray pollen
#

if you wanna be a meta slave you have options

celest mural
#

Nope

agile fractal
#

I Just Think Jake Deserves To Be Better. They’re Really Fun When You Get Momentum But Attempting To Get It With Your Lack Of Priority Is Near Impossible (Unless You’re In 2v2’s Which Is Debtable.)

Kirby Can Get Momentum In Ultimate With His Moves That Can Quickly Rack Up Damage And His Short Height (Which Even Gives Him A Decent Chance Against Kaz Due To His Crouch Going Under EWGF.) And Fantastic Tilts, Which Results In An Underrated (Although Not Great As Anyone With A Semblance Of Range Has An Advantage Over Him.) Character, Jake Has Nothing And Anything He Could Potentially Have Has No Damage.

celest mural
#

Jake main idc how bad he is

#

I just want to voice the changes that should be made

gray pollen
#

yeah exactly

gray pollen
#

so you shouldnt just complain abt jake thats what i said

celest mural
#

Not complaining

#

Voicing changes that should be made

gray pollen
#

you complained for 5 hours

celest mural
#

LGD if you dont care go play the game

gray pollen
#

send a ticket to the staff only they can change it

#

no reason talking here brodie

celest mural
#

Wait til you get to an actual skill based match making and then see how much u like these nerfs

gray pollen
#

i dont care how bad he is he is gonna get buffed a bit anyway and its just a fun character in a fun game

celest mural
#

Give it time is my advice

#

Ur gonna see these nerfs are pretty unfair

gray pollen
#

if i wanted to be pixel perfect i would migrate to brawlhalla or others

agile fractal
# gray pollen if you wanna be a meta slave you have options

I Just Play Characters I Find Fun. Infact In Smash I Main Kirby And Incineroar. But Jake Just Doesn’t Work With How They Are Now, Both Literally (With Their Up Special.) And Mechanically. It’s Hard To Have Fun Being Punished On What Should Be A Space Tool Being Used Against You. Jake Feels Like A Sword Fighter Visually But Gameplay Wise It’s Dhalsim’s Fursona Having A Bad Day.

celest mural
#

My goodness you are so educated. Thank you so much for showing up

#

Couldnt of said it better myself

#

I do the same thing

#

I play my favorites

gray pollen
agile fractal
#

No Problem, I Don’t Intend To Take Sides Or Being Unfair. I Just Really Wish Jake Was More Fun.

celest mural
#

No he needs priority

#

And those things

gray pollen
#

i think the best bet here is

#

if he gets punished in the strechy hand

#

it should mirror the damage he wouldve done

celest mural
#

Remove the fair and upsmash hurtbox extensions

gray pollen
#

not the enemy damage

#

because i get faced with like bugs rocket or sidesig banana guard and i get 20 dmg for no reason

#

if only the strechy hand had mirrored damage back i would only get like 7 dmg on the trade

#

equal instead of negative

agile fractal
celest mural
#

Remove the unnecessary hurtboxes

#

Its okay to have range

#

He has his downsides as it is

#

And maybe some priority on down special too

#

And thats literally all he needs

gray pollen
#

he would have the best range in the game

celest mural
#

In this meta it wouldnt be

gray pollen
#

even better than marvin which is literally a ranged champ

celest mural
#

Think of the endlag

#

The charge for the range

#

The move is telegraphed

#

It can be dodged

#

And immediately punished if dodged or parried

#

Or simply out ranged

gray pollen
#

yeah ok

#

go make a ticket abt that maybe thats a better idea

#

but his skate is still useless rn

celest mural
#

Agreed!!

agile fractal
#

Is Skate Meant To Be A Combo Tool Or A Damage Racking Tool? Cause It Feels Kinda Weak In Both Of Those.

gray pollen
#

i think it should be reworked all together

celest mural
#

But its too laggy

agile fractal
#

Yeah.

celest mural
#

And for that awesome profile pic of cake 🤣

#

That episode had me dying

agile fractal
#

No Problem. I Believe It’s Just An Edit Someone Made Online Of Cake Over Jake.

celest mural
#

Its from the marshall lee episode no?

#

Ohhhh i see

#

Thats jake after killing the gladiator ghosts with his legs

agile fractal
#

Yeah, Somewhere In Season 3 I Believe

#

Idk It’s Been Years Since I’ve Watched Adventure Time, It’s Over A Decade Old Now.

To voice what youve been saying

Oh Thank You.

#justice4Jake

unkempt tendon
#

wait so what happened to jake

celest mural
#

Really long endlag on down air

#

Nerfed neutral air and forward air

#

Added hurtboxes to his fair fist and upsmash axe

unkempt tendon
#

wow

#

amazing

#

bravo

celest mural
#

@unkempt tendon And hes considered a light weight

#

Thats always been a thing but still doesnt help

open agate
#

Jake is still good. He is just not as aggressive as he used to be

open agate
celest mural
celest mural
#

He has zero priority

open agate
celest mural
#

Hurtboxes on all his limb extensions

open agate
celest mural
#

U dont know what priority is in a platform fighter?

open agate
#

Ive never focused much on those things

#

But i played alot of other games

celest mural
#

Thats like one of the most important things

open agate
#

Well can u explain it to me if u can?

celest mural
#

Jake may seem good to you, but the experienced players are gonna give him a really rough time

open agate
#

I struggle alot when they dont give me space

celest mural
open agate
#

I kept blabbling abt batman having more priority

celest mural
#

Yeah jake has none of that

#

He has to constantly evade

#

And not make any mistakes ever

#

On high skill level matches, jake is always at a disadvantage

open agate
#

Jake isnt necessarily bad. U just have to do 20x more work than the enemy and its not worth it

#

Like morty

celest mural
#

Thats the definition of a bad character

open agate
#

Ye

#

And he is so lag too

celest mural
#

Jake is almost unusable

open agate
#

They can hit me while being a car??

celest mural
#

You can still get wins if u work 20x harder

#

But it shouldnt have to be like that

#

Thats not balanced

celest mural
#

Car has zero priority

open agate
#

What is the point then. Isnt that move suppose to ve invincible

celest mural
#

None of his moves do

#

Its supposed to have priority

#

And power through other moves

open agate
#

They need to fix him and other characters fr

celest mural
#

Yeah him and velma need the most buffs

open agate
#

Morty too he is buggy

#

So thats the problem with jake

#

Did he have priority before?

celest mural
#

Yup

#

Jake was amazing before

open agate
#

Bruh. I think beta jake would be balanced in todays mvs

fair heart
#

😭😭

#

no

open agate
#

He would. Bc its slow

#

He was busted before hc it was fast

fair heart
#

his combo game was also insane

#

he honestly was almost in an automatic advantage state in neutral

vague crest
#

he's bad but i can't drop him crying_steven

celest mural
cobalt kiln
# open agate Morty too he is buggy

Fr, Morty and Jake were my two mains and the beta and gosh did they do em dirty!

On one hand I don’t want to choose a new main because I just really love how the characters used to play, but on the other I feel like I’m just not having much fun with the game right now with all the movement, input delay and hitbox issues that I’m not even sure I’d enjoy a more meta pick…

open agate
#

Ugh my up tilr literally hitted before he even pressed his skill but his registered more

#

If his priority didnt suck so much he would have been still viable

#

What were devs doing in the lab

scarlet nacelle
#

damn it

wary sage
#

they burned the facility down

open agate
#

I can still do well with jake

#

I MIGHT have actually won all my games if the last hit did actually had priorities

#

Like what??

#

They need to fix him

#

He iis still a menace to noobs tho

POV i see the jake skin in the battle pass is from one of my least favorite adventure time episodes

I Can't Lie, I Kinda Hate That Skin Lol.

Ninja jake

#

Wizard robe jake too

#

They should add video game jake

#

From when they went inside bmo to fight sleepy sam the frog

#

Or jake suit jake

agile fractal
lean wave
# celest mural Or jake suit jake

imagine being able to use jake suit in 2v2s, it would be such a hard mechanic to get into a game but it would be so fun, especially if u could do it with characters other than finn

at least he got great skins unlike others

YUHHHHH

clear jackal
#

Stop complaining play the game plz

#

Yes he needs buffs but firm it ❤️

celest mural
#

the biggest thing about jake right now is how criminally low tier he is

#

Critisism is a good thing

#

it helps improve flaws

#

For fun yes for meta definitely not

#

if u want jake for wins hes not ur guy

#

unless u wana scrape and claw ur way to victory with everything u have

#

Just know with jake u have to work VERY hard to secure ur wins against high skill players

#

harder than any character besides velma

clear jackal
#

The devs know jake is low tier

#

They are prob working on it

celest mural
lean wave
celest mural
#

we arent pestering the devs by leaving our thoughts in the channel made for that character

clear jackal
#

Goat they know 🙏

celest mural
#

and they have so much on their plate

#

its better to make it easier for them

clear jackal
#

I have seen nothing that would actually help anyones gameplay in this channel

#

Thats what i dont like

#

Call me sosa

celest mural

dig deeper then

clear jackal
#

Ok

#

once jake is fixed then hopefully the chat is alive and active again

celest mural

thats toxic

#

you just don’t have the cranial capacity to deep it my friend 😔

lean wave
#

thank you lad ❤️

clear jackal
#

Wait maybe i misunderstood

clear jackal
lean wave
#

yeah, jake is in a state where you can’t improve whatsoever

clear jackal
#

Whaaaaaaaaat

lean wave
#

all good if you misinterpreted it 🙏

#

unless you are jesus himself then jake is pretty much impossible to use in a high skill matchup

celest mural
#

They can only take u so far

#

but a player with the same skill using a better character is going to give you trouble

clear jackal
#

Well nah 😭

celest mural
#

Jake needs priority and no hurtbox on his fair/upsmash

clear jackal
#

Thats why you gotta get better

#

But you are saying that you cant get better

#

No?

celest mural
#

and less skateboard endlag

lean wave
#

not with the state he’s in rn

clear jackal
#

Mkay i dont agree

lean wave
#

i have over 600 jake wins and he is pretty much unusable

celest mural
#

I think you as a player can get better but jake seriously limits ur potential

clear jackal
agile fractal
#

Being Low Tier Doesn’t Inherently Mean They Can’t Be Experimented With. Kirby In Ultimate Is A Good Example (Although I’d Personally Say He’s Bottom Of Mid And A lot Of Japanese Players Think That Too.) His Copy Abilities Allow A lot Of Different Ways To Interact With The Game And Situations Even If It’s Limited To Neutral Specials. Jake On Paper Has That With His Sair, Neutral Special, And Skateboard But They’re Too Laggy Or Too Unsafe. And Unlike Kirby Who Has Speed And A Short Height So You Can Win By Being Better Then The Opponent With Only A Mild Struggle. Jake Has To Fight For His Life To Even Do 40 Percent.

Kirby Is A Great Starter Character That If You (Regrettably Unless You’re A Die-Hard Fan) Stay With, Gives You A Surprising Amount To Learn, And I Think Jake Will Too If They Buff His Priority And His Down Air.

Oh Also Kirby’s Inhale Is Too Laggy But Ultimates Never Gonna Fix That And It’s Not Important To The Conversation.

#

Jake Really Needs Buff’s.

clear jackal
#

But you can still improve w him

celest mural
#

what yari said is right

clear jackal
lean wave
#

you can improve with him yes, but not to the point where you can matchup with top 50 harley players or top 50 buggs players

clear jackal
#

Eh honestly i disagree

agile fractal
#

I Love Playing Them And I Love Them Conceptually (I Also Like Cake As A Character.) But Improving In Them Is Insanely Limited Due To Their Creative Options Not Being Good Enough.

clear jackal
lean wave
#

you can but not to a noticeable degree

#

you’re still gonna get gripped up 9/10 matchups

clear jackal
#

I think a top 10 jake would beat a top 50 harley

Pretty easily

that’s what i mean by jake is useless rn, yeah you can improve but it’s still not gonna help you as much as if he would get buffed

lean wave
#

jake’s hit boxes and attack clashes suck

clear jackal
#

Yeah but bite into bite is true at zero 😍

#

I actually love that so much

lean wave
#

true 😈😈

clear jackal
#

Guys you gotta be more positive

lean wave
#

i hardly ever use the bite move

#

i love jake but he’s in a bad state rn

clear jackal
#

Bite is lowkey his best move imo

#

Maybe sair

lean wave
#

it’s too hard to pull off, way too much risk for little reward

clear jackal
#

So many setups

#

Jab bite

#

Nair bite

#

Sair bite

lean wave
#

i’ll keep that in mind, thanks lad 🙏

clear jackal
#

Nw

lean wave
#

he feels so much different with the movement nerf too

clear jackal
#

Sair bite is only good at lower percent

clear jackal
#

You gotta play him different

lean wave
#

he’s so much slower and it doesn’t help that his axe/stretch punch have a hitbox now

clear jackal
#

Yeah you do have to firm that unfortunately

lean wave
#

you can’t really play agressive with jake anymore

clear jackal
#

Icl you have to play mixup

#

You have to zone, but then commit to any minute opportunity you get

#

Thats how you play jake

#

At least for me

lean wave
#

he just feels super washed, he shouldn’t take this much planning and preparation to play

lean wave
#

i just miss when jake did more damage, it’s a lot harder to be agressive and to zone when there’s no risk from being hit with his attacks

agile fractal
# clear jackal At least for me

Which Is Very Valid But Why Not Take Extra Buff’s To Allow More Playstyles And Ways To Play Jake? He (Or She If You Use Cake.) Can Stretch And Transform Into Anything, It Makes Sense That Their Playstyle Could Flex Into Different Options Like The One You’re Describing And A More Aggressive Style To Allow A Creative And Expressive Way To Play The Character.

#

Idk Though, I Don’t Intend To Sound Rude, I Just Think Such A Fun Moveset Shouldn’t Be Limited To One Style.

lean wave
#

^^^^ best take i’ve heard, jake is such an amazing character for a game like this because of his endless potential, the state he’s in right now just ruins and wastes it all, if you’re gonna play jake then you’re limited to a single play style and it gets boring and easy to counter after a while

clear jackal
#

I've been saying he needs buffs

agile fractal
#

Thank You. I Don’t Mean To Invalidate That One Playstyle, I Just Think It Would Be Fitting For Jake To Take Different Options For Their Playstyle, While Also Being More Fun, And Grow A Bigger Of Jake Players. I Really Enjoy Hearing Your Take On The Character Though Naxx

clear jackal
#

But still right now i think you are able to outplay and have fun with jake

agile fractal
#

Fair, I Like Doing That In Games With Characters I Care About, But Jake (Atleast In My Opinion.) Feels Too Punishing, But Hey, If You Can Pop Off With Them. Then You Love To See More Jake Rep. 🧡

Props To You Honestly.

i could make a compilation of that happening to me but its a 4 hours video and i dont feel like fishing for those moments

its unfair tbh

jake should have a ranged advantage

without a hurtbox on it

agile fractal
#

Bro Im Just Asking For Essentially Chicken Wings On The Table For Jake And I’d Be Happy Lol.

celest mural
#

i could see in theory how that could be balanced but it isnt

#

jake isnt a heavy character

#

he isnt a fast character

#

so he SHOULD have his range

#

hes not even small or hard to hit

ashen echo
#

yea he's at that medium stature with most characters

#

and yet he's REPULSIVELY easy to punish

#

he shoulnd't be so easy to punish

Going back to the skin discussion, I think jake in the robe from together again would be great

jake's skate feels so trash now

i just miss his old one

Tho I still do combos with jake

U need to keep distance by using sair

#

When im in the lead i just kirby them haha

#

He is still hard to deal with since he has alot of dmg

agile fractal
#

True, I Hope I Don’t Come Off As Spammy Or Overly Negative But Jake Is Such A Fun Character Held Back By Small Stuff, And I Usually Play Characters Like That (Kirby Has One Of The Slowest Command Grabs In The Game, Even Bowser’s Side Special Is Faster.) So Being Able To Voice And Seeing A Character Improve And Be Better Makes Me Feel Happy, Especially Knowing That It Helps Multiple People.

open agate
agile fractal
#

Yeah.

open agate
#

Mann i did that to him like 2 matches already

#

Whats the combo u do with jake?

#

I think instead of complaining i think its time to do whats the best thing u can do with jake

#

Maybe some other way it can still help other people

agile fractal
#

I Mean, I Just Ain’t Even Playing Him Right Now, He Doesn’t Feel Satisfying To Play To Me Rn.

open agate
#

I actually find him satisfying

#

They always fall for the axe

#

Sair dash then charged axe

agile fractal
open agate
#

If they do dash u can just chase them again

#

Skateboard then eat is still working

#

Sair dash nair then eat also still works

#

Axe covers alot

#

Especially as a edge guaridng tool

#

U can try harder than ur opponents but mechanically jake is easy

agile fractal
#

Yeah I Mean I Suppose But That’s Not Really The Issue Imo, I’ll Still Try To Experiment With Them Again But I Just Hope They Get Some Buff’s.

open agate
#

They actually can have a hard time approaching jake

#

My only problem with jake is the literal no priority in his movesets

agile fractal
#

Honestly Yeah That’s My Massive Issue, It Damages The Character Too Much.

open agate
#

Yeah i Hit him first before he even used a move but somehow i get hit first

agile fractal
#

Honestly I Know I Suggested Other Things But If They Fix That, I Probably Will Just Consistently Play The Character.

open agate
#

If u attack both at the same time he will always lose the trade

#

But his kill is actually good

#

He can kill at 50 to 80% consistently

celest mural
#

hes not good at all right now

#

u can do good with a bad character

open agate
#

Btw his lag on his up special helps me sometimes hahaha bc the enemey gets confused alot

celest mural
#

depends on the skills of both players

#

but jake has zero priority

#

and hurtboxes in all his moves

open agate
#

Thats what I said

#

But that doesnt mean u cant still do good with him

celest mural
#

he needs buffs

#

u can do good with velma too

#

doesnt mean shes not bad

open agate
#

He is bad. But u can still do good

celest mural
#

Jake is objectively a bad character right now

agile fractal
celest mural
#

and needs balancing

open agate
agile fractal
#

Also I Checked The Velma Channel And I Find It Funny That They’re Asking For Buff’s Like Us.

open agate
#

Check morty too

#

But atleast morty players are still giving advice

#

Its not abt wether the character is bad, good

#

Look theres alot of characters out there that is good

#

But whats the point of a op broken character if its boring

#

Just have fun no need to discourage people

#

Anyways jake vs raindog matchup is kinda hard to deal with

agile fractal
#

True Though, I Just Have No Idea About Advice Apart From Just Combo’s And Hope People Don’t Hit Your Limbs. It Feels Super Hopeless.

agile fractal

(Might Get Them Though, They Seem Fun.)

open agate
agile fractal
#

Had a Feeling, Projectiles Are Painful For Jake Lol.

open agate
#

Its hard to deal with considering all ur ranged attacks have hurt hitbox like jake's sair so u get hurt

#

So it gets hard to zone them

agile fractal
#

Yeah, Maybe You’d Need To Try To Fight Up Close Then? Idk.

open agate
#

On the startup

open agate
#

I actually do well with good harleys. They get so annoyed at ur sair zoning they will spam the slide moves

#

Whats gud abt jake is u cant underestimate him. If he caughts u off guard ur dead easily

agile fractal
#

Yeah That’s Something I Noticed, No Shame To Any Harley Players But They Always Play Really Samey To Me, Kinda Like A Flowchart.

open agate
#

When u charge sair they actually get nervous

#

Its funny

open agate
#

Axe then up air is gud too

#

Its not like they can punish u when u missed it

#

Just know if its not gonna work and wait for them down and then axe again haha

ashen echo
#

its the easiest way to guarantee wins

#

i also once ate both my opponents in a match when we had two points so when i threw myself out of the map we instantly won lol

open agate
#

Ahahahah its funny

celest mural
#

what determines whether they can escape the bite before jumping off with them

#

is it time based?

#

or can they mash too

allright, we must talk about jake seriusly

it's bad

#

his combos are slow and easy to dodge

#

the skateboard now is totally useless

#

the down special too

#

the bite is too OP. you can just...eat someone and sacrifice yourself to take a free kill

#

nothing of him is balanced

weary mural
#

Think he needs a few changes. Maybe some disjoints on fair and utilt. Maybe down special priority/armor. With that I think he's fine in the meta.

#

Jab Dtilt is really consistent at low percents and can lead into bite. If you check out the combo vid above you can see me spamming it lol

His fair and upsmash need disjoints so bad

Was the game sped up at all in this patch?

no

in 1v1 only for some reason

so i guess less combos are possible now?

kinda mid changes

better then nothing i suppose

8 days to receive changes is really good tho

he can keep doing that until you die

better yet just parry it, his move screams ''parry it'' more than anything on this game

Coming from a Jake main with 1,300+ wins, I can confirm he's still good but very slow and harder to use

Jake is no fun at all.

Jake is always countered due to his punch counting as a hitbox, so even if you land your shot, its nullified since someone pressed a button.

Jake cannot do any combos whatsoever, sure he can make up for it with his damage POTENTIAL, but half the time he's outwitted with speed that is beyond his own.

Jake is by far the most creative character, but half of his moves aren't used since there isn't much use for any of them except for the axe, his belly bump, and the stretchy punch. Even then, 90% of his moves are outweighed tenfold by other characters.

Jake can come close to winning, but only close. His damage and slow windups aren't enough to keep up with literal tanks that can do his job way better.

I was in the top 10 Jake players, and all I have to say Multiversus, what have you done?

thorn zenith
celest mural
#

No idea

#

For me, just remove hurtboxes from his fair and upsmash

#

Make downair faster (less lag)

#

Give priority to down special

Jake has no safe options

His fair is always a risk due to you throwing a free hurtbox to ur enemy
