We can 1v1 to try test it out

#

Whats ur rwgion?

#

Region

cosmic meadow

I feel the delay

open agate
#

Yeha but not as lag

cosmic meadow
#

ggs I've got to hit it

open agate
#

Dang how r u so fast

#

My mooves feel so slow

cosmic meadow
#

playing on keyboard but you should be able move the same

#

I use dodge a lot

open agate
#

Sometimwa i didnt chase dodge lol

cosmic meadow
#

I dodge before most my jumps which launches me

open agate
#

Like brawlhalla

cosmic meadow
#

exactly

open agate
#

Feels weird in mvs

cosmic meadow
#

it doesn't

open agate
#

Does it really have any difference?

cosmic meadow
#

you're not even suppose to do it but I got use to it

#

you tell me

open agate
#

One last match ill try what u said

cosmic meadow
#

alr

open agate
#

Should we go both jake or?

cosmic meadow
#

I could go ww but she's dumb

open agate
#

Lets just go jake v jake so its fair

cosmic meadow
#

oki doki

open agate
#

This why i feel like ive been fighting bots alot

#

I kept using sair muscke memory

cosmic meadow
#

happens

open agate
#

Ur rlly gud at abusing his eat

cosmic meadow
#

yeahhh

#

I'd use his other moves a lot more but they're just so bad

open agate
#

True

#

His axe feels slow somehow

cosmic meadow
#

do be

#

use to be able to cancel it too

open agate
#

I wanna see if that playstyle do work on other characters

#

So how does it work when u play online?

cosmic meadow
#

it should

#

how does what work?

open agate
#

I mean is it effective on good players

cosmic meadow
#

for sure

open agate
#

Dang ur a really good jake

cosmic meadow
#

I wouldn't be able to compete against good players w/o it tbh

#

thx lol

open agate
#

Ive been using his sair all the timw for zoning and it works for me until they get close. Maybe ur style is more optimal

cosmic meadow
#

yeah I don't approach w/ sair much anymore since it's too punishing

#

I use it more for spacing and playing passive

#

or offstage

#

also skateboard into bite is true

#

but skateboard hard as heck to hit now

open agate
#

I tried doing ur thing. Its kinda hard to play upclose since jake doesnt have good options for uo close air battle

open agate
fossil wolf
#

Best character ever

open agate
#

Using sair has been stucked to my brian

cosmic meadow
#

sure

#

yeah same

open agate
#

I dont think i play with bots. They di rematches but they are just not as good as like decent

#

Whats ur perks btw

cosmic meadow
#

normally hover in air till they attack

open agate
#

Maining 3 is kinda hard

celest mural
cosmic meadow
#

but I would use dpad on controller

open agate
#

I use dpad too

#

Nah man i cant do ur playstyle i just dont get it. It works on passive chaarcters but on aggressive nah since they have mor epriprity

#

Ill come back to him when he is buff

cosmic meadow
#

how it be

open agate
#

I get close right but like idk what moves to use nair? Its too slow the bite thing can really punish me alot if i miss

cosmic meadow
#

yeah nair is a good approach

#

into bite

open agate
#

Yeah but its to slow and they will hit me first

#

Thats how it be in my matches

cosmic meadow
#

yeah he's not in the best position

open agate
#

I think I'll stick to rick. Using alot of characters has been messing me up. Sometimes I just stand mid match and pause because I forgot what moves I should be using

#

Like your brain goes blank

celest mural
open agate
#

Just try dpad. It does better inputs and movements

celest mural
open agate
#

And better imo

#

I also use it on marvin's up attack

mossy linden
#

Who y’all hate playing against the most as Jake? For me it’s wonder woman

mossy linden
#

What characters do u find the easiest to vs? For me it’s Jason and Rick

celest mural
#

NOT rick lol

#

i fought an amazing rick who knew his combos in and out

#

i fought tooth and nail to barely beat him

#

Jason is by far the easiest to counter as jake

#

fighting harley as jake is so boring

#

u have to be so unbelievably safe

open agate
#

Rick's playstyle is so boring rn for me

#

After usin many characters i cant do his portal combos anymore so I might come back to him

celest mural
#

ricks portal potential is insane

open agate
#

Fs

open agate
mossy linden
#

When Rick shoots his gun it’s so easy to go horse under the bullets and get easy dmg on Rick

mossy linden
#

I struggle to get near wonder woman she always uses a move where she becomes literally untouchable whenever I charge at her

celest mural
#

Jakes playstyle rn is way too specials reliant

#

Combos are slow and are almost never true

mossy linden
celest mural
#

Jake is really lacking in safe moves too

#

Because hes constantly throwing his own hurtbox around

#

Hes very easy to punish with characters like harley

#

I also noticed finns can really apply pressure on jake

mossy linden
#

I feel like his only safe move is the long punch, which can be very predictable

celest mural
#

Even that is unsafe

mossy linden
celest mural
#

Ur throwing a large hurtbox to ur enemy to hit

#

Rn jakes forward air is too much of a double edged sword

#

And down special needa more priority

mossy linden
open agate
#

I main rick

#

Ill try stripe soon he seems fun

mossy linden
celest mural
mossy linden
celest mural
#

Same for axe upsmash

open agate
#

But jake2free is good really

mossy linden
open agate
#

I 1v1 him he plays jake si differently

celest mural
open agate
#

U can say he is good at punishing

mossy linden
#

Jake’s down special rly needs to be more punishing tho

open agate
#

He doesnt play sair. He is very aggressive

celest mural
#

Probably some bites thrown in

open agate
#

He doenst do ladder combos

#

He kills to the side

#

He is also very fast. His aggressive aproach is gud he knows what moves to use

#

Until now i cant replicate what he did

celest mural
#

Forward airs and bites?

open agate
#

He doesnt use sarlir

#

Sair

#

He is very sifferent

#

He never use axe sair or nun

celest mural
#

Well bite isnt gonna kill at low percents

open agate
#

He did tho

celest mural
#

Sounds like bad DI

open agate
#

Trust me just fight him

#

He knows how to do it

celest mural
#

bite and spit off stage?

open agate
#

Basically he is a good at punishing

open agate
#

Nair bite skateboard

#

Idk what move she uses

#

Then he bites spits bites and then u get thrown off in the blast zone

#

Bc even if i di out of it he knows mix up very well

#

Maybe i am just bad but he is definitely the best jake playstyle

#

U can bsckread maybe u will get slme info

open agate
#

@cosmic meadow u should send clips of ur gameplays sometimes. It'll help for some jake players

fresh rapids
#

Still trying to master jake...

#

I hate how he's one of the worse characters in the game but my brain forces me to play him out of nostalgia for the character 😭

open agate
#

Well don't. U will get disapointed and lose motivation

#

Anyways jake2free needs EM CLIPs i need to study his playstyle

#

Just have fun ofc

fresh rapids
#

I'll give tips that I discover in this thread as well

#

Wish you could see frame data like in SF6 in training mode

#

And being able to customize the ai to do certain strategies

#

Prob asking for too much though

open agate
#

Hey it isnt. A fighting game needs those

fresh rapids
#

Also sucks that in the Discord you have to choose between having access to competitive or casual lfg channels

open agate
#

True

#

Jake is the guy

#

My love for adventure time is impeccable

fresh rapids
#

I'm bout to become Tiffany
(Adventure Time reference if you get it)

open agate
#

If marceline becomes a character it's over or even ice king

open agate
#

I want a wizard jake or eizard fin skin

fresh rapids
#

From that one episode where Finn and Jake learned magic?

#

It'd also be cool if there was a skin of the sweater and glove Finn wore the first time he fought the Lich.

open agate
#

Yeah

#

Jake has the sweater christmas one

fresh rapids
#

Also maybe it's just me but

#

Kind of seems like they're doing everything they can to get you to pay for this game

#

Like they're pushing the idea that most things in the game are going to be paid for

open agate
#

Yeah its a scummy practice and I hate it. They even said something that it was a "bug"

fresh rapids
#

FR, I was asking around to see if people really fell for that...

#

Such a blatant feature, and they call it a bug of all things...

#

Even if they had meant to leave it out, they clearly planned for it to be in the game at some point.

open agate
#

I blame wb for that. They forced launch even tho the devs warned them alota things is brokena and not finish

#

Player first games wanna make a masterpiece

Wb wanna make money

fresh rapids
#

Also, the fact the entire roster is locked behind currency is wild.

#

The sheer amount of grinding you'd have to do to unlock them all for free...

open agate
#

Atleast make it 1k. All of the free rewards are perk currencies like whaat? Why isnt the perks just the rewards for mastery level

fresh rapids
#

And with the fact that Joker, objectively the best character, costs TWICE as much as the other characters, it's hard to say this isn't a "pay to win" game.

wary sage
fresh rapids
#

Suprisingly I haven't come across either of those.

#

I remember having issues with Finn though, I think.

open agate
fresh rapids
#

So, I'm back from some Jake practicing...

#

I learned he becomes a lot better if you utilize the dodge in a good way.

#

For example, you can use the dodge for a quick recovery from his sluggish 3-Hit combo.

#

You can use it to juggle players and you can also use it to prolong a combo by dodging behing them mid-combo.

#

Jake is GOOD!?

open agate
#

Sair shouldnt be use often

#

Idk jake2free hasnt send any gameplay

#

His jake is the one i wanna learn

full ridge
#

Is it possible to mash to escape Jake's bite attack once you're in his belly? It seems like doing so does nothing except eat my jump inputs, so I fall if off-stage.

clear jackal
#

He said mace is way better than dtilt which is such a crazy stretch

open agate
#

Thanks

open agate
#

Ur actuallly really good at hitting the eat move

cosmic meadow
#

yeah it's pretty easy to punish with

#

and if they jump after eat it's game over

#

so they'll prob drop down next time you do it, then you just side air them

#

get in their head lol

open agate
#

Dang its more clearer now

#

So yeah thats alot to sacrafice for like fancy combos but its a really effective playstyle

celest mural
#

They need to fix jake so bad

#

hes unbearably slow compared to the S tiers

open agate
#

Im sure we have been saying that everyday since launch

open agate
#

They HAVE to fix him

celest mural

@cosmic meadow Dpad or analog stick for movement?

#

....I think I may have found a double jake team that kicked my butt

lean wave
#

i’ve seen so many double jake’s using the bite chain 😭

muted lance
#

YEAH

#

IT WAS THAT

lean wave
#

LMAO

#

that’s such a broken tactic

#

only viable use of jake until he gets buffed 😭😭

strange cedar
#

That's hilarious never thought of that 💀

cosmic meadow
#

what I'm sayin'

#

hella strong in 2s

#

personally I'd log off

lean wave
#

made me happy to see a banana guard get man handled like that

cosmic meadow
#

lol

wary sage
#

jake is just DK at this point

#

basically the same thing

lean wave
cosmic meadow
#

cash only

lean wave
#

i can agree with that 🙏

celest mural
#

This jake patch will be coming any day guys

#

I can feel it

#

😭

fresh rapids
#

I hope so...

exotic forge
#

Errrm what Jake patch gulp

fresh rapids
#

He needs to be buffed 😭

#

I mean he's not bad in particular but

#

He's still a lot worse than other characters

#

He's slow and has too many hurtboxes

#

We must rally for the jake buff

#

We must become an unstoppable army

hollow seal
#

I’m not a Jake main but, buff Jake please

#

I hate playing Jake but there are some decent players and going against them isn’t that bad

winter bronze
#

I got vored by a jake player who jumped off a cliff

hollow seal
#

Yeahhh that happens

brittle jackal
#

No seriously the move is one of his redeeming factors since it garentees kills & cheese

fresh rapids
#

I like how we're at the top of the members list

#

just because we play on consoles

#

💀

brittle jackal
#

I mainly play on PC...

fresh rapids
#

Ah, your role said xbox

brittle jackal
#

Oh yeah I was a Xbox player in the beta and I first played full launch on Xbox too

timber sentinel
#

Jake needs a buff fix his hit box make it so his down air, special and attack are faster also Jake’s down air special is the most useless special in the game now because no matter when you use it you will get hit the house should have priority hit not always get countered when you use it

radiant stratus
#

is jake a fun character?

#

been thinking about adding a secondary after having mained stripe

agile fractal
#

He’s Fun But Not Worth Using In The Meta Atm.

radiant stratus

#

jake is so hard to play

prisma flower
#

Jake balance suggestions:
Up attack aerial:

  • second hit comes out faster after hitting first hit.

Up attack grounded:

  • the extended hurtbox of Jakes arm axe now has super armor so you can still get hit on the arm while charging but not interrupted.

Up special:

  • the opponent should now always be launched towards jakes head for more consistent setups.

Down special:
Rework: Change the house move into a nuke that acts similar to Kirby’s down special from smash except the nuke has a fairly long start up for Jake to transform before dropping quickly and bringing down everyone with it to land where a big explosion occurs of Jake inflating real big and sending opponents flying. The move would have 20 second cooldown and the on cooldown variation would be current Jake house move.

Feel free to discuss and suggest

fresh rapids
#

His car should have super armor

#

Imo

#

Or I guess it's a house sometimes too

prisma flower
#

Oh yeah it switches sometimes

mossy linden
#

Or a boat 🤷🏽‍♂️

#

Down ability definitely needs more priority tho

fresh rapids
#

If it just had more range

mossy linden
#

Ya I jus think it’s not as punishing as it should be

#

As with a lot of Jake’s moves

fresh rapids
#

His speed might not be a problem if his moveset was actually good

#

My personal suggestions

prisma flower
#

It’s a weird character cause sair is the only one that has range so you end up spamming that and his close range moves then aren’t used that much

#

Also nair and up air having second hits makes it even weirder to use

#

but I don’t main the character so what do I know

fresh rapids
# fresh rapids My personal suggestions

Car/Boat/House Should Have Super Armor

Horse Should Have Super Armor If It Gets Past Startup

Side Ground 3-Hit Combo Should Come Out Slightly Faster

Stretch Should Be Faster

Skateboard Should Descend Faster

#

Down Ground Should Have More Range

prisma flower
#

I forgot down ground was a move lol.

#

If it doesn’t kill I feel it should kill

fresh rapids
#

I would send some "combos" if these even count as them but

#

You can't send videos

prisma flower
#

Dang

#

It’s fine I don’t play character much

fresh rapids
#

Still just trying to make the most of the time I've got before ranked

#

Aiming to become #1 Jake (I know how ambitious that is)

river turtle
#

Pls write True Combos/ normal Combos w/Jake

fresh rapids
#

It's not the best but

#

After successfully doing the 3 skateboards you can follow it up with bite

#

Then you can shoot the enemy onto a wall for the best damage

#

He doesn't have many combos tbh

fresh rapids
#

My glorious king Jake will get a buff eventually

#

We are approaching the day when we will finally be freed from the torture

wary sage
#

he is not the honored one

frosty belfry
#

does jake have any real combos

#

like i’m not talking like 4 hits i mean a real combo

clear jackal
#

Also baus

wary sage
#

pls jake buff

#

this may be the time

celest mural
#

Oh a patch

wary sage
#

yeah

celest mural
#

Im sharpening my pitchfork just in case

wary sage
#

its probably gonna be a useless buff

celest mural
#

U bring the torches

wary sage
#

like barely anything

celest mural
#

No hes gonna get the biggest and greatest buff and finally be useable

fresh rapids
#

J a k e

#

P l e a s e

mossy linden
#

Time to uninstall

fresh rapids
#

Imagine they overdo it and he becomes s tier

#

(Joke)

mossy linden
#

0 reworks is insane

wary sage
#

are the patch notes out?

muted lance
#

not yet

#

everything is still under maintenance

#

come back in maybe a half hour or so

mossy linden
muted lance
#

oh

wary sage
#

bro

#

what are they doing

fresh rapids
#

No jake buff...

mossy linden
#

🤦‍♂️

fresh rapids
#

If anything he's even worse now

frail canyon
wary sage
#

well

#

next year maybe we will get it

fresh rapids
#

They buffed everybody BUT him

mossy linden
#

i thought they listened to their community lol

frail canyon
#

im gonna die

fresh rapids
#

At least Harley got nerfed

muted lance
#

free jake

frail canyon
#

FREE JAKE BOI

mossy linden
#

“We are aware of this characters strength” under every op character and does nothing substantial about them

wary sage
#

real

mossy linden
#

Could of jus been an announcement tbh

fresh rapids
#

I'm dying inside

#

No Jake buff 🥺

#

WHY 😭

wary sage
#

they are slowly deleting him

#

he's the new velma

celest mural
#

Velma got buffed 💀

#

I hate to say but now jake is probably the worst

fresh rapids
fresh rapids
clear jackal
#

Delayed gratification

fresh rapids
#

Every other character can at least do various combos

clear jackal
#

The buffs are gonna feel even better when they come

celest mural
#

The thing is they kinda have to buff him next patch now

#

Jake being the literal worst

#

I just hope it’s significant

neat totem
#

no jake buff is insane

fresh rapids
#

I have respect for anyone who mains Jake now

clear jackal
#

Tbf apparently next patch gonna be very balance based

#

So i assume next one we getting something goood

hard arch
#

Yay, new patch! Oh, I hope they tweaked Jake!.....
Was what I thought reading the notes. Only to be very disappointed at the end.

neat totem
#

jake somtimes feels unbearable

celest mural
#

Wasnt the last patchnote 2 weeks ago

hard arch
#

I find it a slog to even get the daily missions done now.

fresh rapids
#

Honestly jake might go at the bottom of a tier list

#

Even Velma got a buff

#

He has practically nothing going for him

neat totem
#

yup

celest mural
#

Wait its been exactly one week since the last buff

neat totem
#

slow, hits light, little combo possibilities, easily rung out

celest mural
#

Which means in one more week we should get another

wary sage
#

i wanted to switch to gizmo

neat totem
#

bit late

wary sage
#

but he got like the most nerfs

celest mural
#

GOOD

#

gizmo is so annoying

mossy linden
#

did Jake’s fist in sair have hitbox in beta? I can’t remember

celest mural
#

At least to fight as jake

wary sage
#

no

celest mural
#

Nope no hurtbox

mossy linden
#

That needs to get removed lol

#

So annoying

celest mural
#

Thats what im saying

clear jackal
#

Is jake better or worse than garnet

celest mural
#

Im tired of barely punching a projectile

#

And getting punished for landing my hit on an enemy

fresh rapids
#

The determination that it takes to continue maining Jake...

wary sage
#

i think i faced gizmo twice in 1s even after 70hours

#

and they were bad

fresh rapids
#

It's going to be impossible to even play as him anymore

celest mural
#

In higher match making

#

Theres a ton of amazing gizmos

royal scroll
#

Nice jake is still useless

fresh rapids
#

Even if you're skilled you still can't win

wary sage
#

i have no one to switch

#

i don't like anyone else

neat totem
royal scroll
wary sage
#

i am stuck with jake

celest mural
inland urchin
#

they took away the most fun part of his kit wich is the skateboard

celest mural
#

Jake should have range

royal scroll
#

I could not win with jake. Then i switched to banana guard and just didnt lose

inland urchin
#

he isnt good nor fun

neat totem
royal scroll
#

The game isnt even about skill anymore it is dependent on ur character

celest mural
#

Remember its a lot slower

#

Moves are punishable now

#

Dodges are a resource

fresh rapids
#

I could switch to tom and jerry theoretically

#

Jake is just... bad now

celest mural
#

Tom and jerry are so fun

#

I dont blame u

mossy linden
celest mural
#

Jake right now feels like u have to be mega mind

mossy linden
#

It feels like so many other characters have something unbalanced

celest mural
#

To win

neat totem
#

yeah but his sair is by far not his worst ability right now

mossy linden
#

Yeah it’s not

neat totem
#

not something that urgently needs a buff

celest mural
#

His worst is his down air

clear jackal
#

Bite so lovely

#

Bite my bae

celest mural
#

They butchered his down air

neat totem
#

the house is way too slow too

celest mural
#

The house can be slow but it better out priority every damn move in the game

clear jackal
#

Like realistically jakes jab sucks

#

Apart from jab into bites

neat totem
#

yup the jab is ass

fresh rapids
#

We actually need to push for the buff. We need to suggest the buffs to the devs somehow

safe falcon
#

It feels like he's got a lot of tools that are fun to use, but none of them are impactful enough.

celest mural
#

Dash attack is really bad too

celest mural
clear jackal
#

Does dash attack have ANY combos?

celest mural
#

Maybe into bite

#

But not confirmed

safe falcon
#

Like the moves themselves are great, but they need to tweak damage and knockback on a few of them.

#

I'd be fine with the horse ending sooner if it hit harder. That kind of thing.

celest mural
#

Horse is fine tbh

#

Maybe a bit more damage

#

The last thing we need is any nerfs on jake at all

fresh rapids
#

He's the slowest character in the game besides jason

#

If I'm correct

safe falcon
#

I also think that one perk should just be his down special in general, not just the house.

marsh yoke
#

Jake feels a lot more slower then he did in beta

celest mural
#

Unlike jason jake is a light weight who doesnt deal damage or killpower 🤣

clear jackal
#

Also why can horse only hit once 😭

safe falcon
#

It's not strong enough to need to be one of three random results.

celest mural
clear jackal
#

Its just dumb

copper pawn
#

How did Jake not get a buff

mossy linden
#

It works nicely in 2s

safe falcon
#

Or how Banana Guard once again only got one little tweak. x3

copper pawn
#

Bugs is now even more over powered

safe falcon
#

They did it to Harley, he needs it too.

clear jackal
#

Also have you guys had the thing where your camera gets stuck as if you still have them bited

safe falcon
#

No, but that sounds awful.

clear jackal
#

Yeah you have to rebite them while the camera is completely zoomed on you

fresh rapids
#

We understand this character's powe-

safe falcon
#

It seems like there are more smaller patches to come soon according to Twitter, so there's still hope for a Jake patch soon I guess.

fresh rapids
#

The Jake players need a comeback bro

safe falcon
#

We need the "Aplogizing for being mean to dogs" patch where it's just Jake and Reindog buffs.

fresh rapids
#

Ngl

#

I forgot that character existed

safe falcon
#

For the last few patches Reindog has been getting what little he can do broken more and more.

#

He really needs a comeback too.

fresh rapids
#

If only there was somewhere we could give suggestions and the devs would see it

wary sage
#

is there anyway to extend the camera just a bit to actually see how long i have till my opponent gets out of my bite

safe falcon
fresh rapids
#

Now that I think about it can you swap side and neutral now

#

It's just something that kind of puts me off

cosmic meadow
#

We dodged another patch fellas crying_steven

fresh rapids
#

Just like the players who dodge all of Jake's attacks 😔

#

Jake is just way too punishable...

radiant stratus
#

wow they didnt touch jake

fresh rapids
#

Nearly all of his attacks have an easy-to-hit hurtbox, and he's too slow to stop people from punishing him...

radiant stratus
#

they touched velma but not jake

#

they're both pretty bad but i do think velmas worse

#

even so

#

did the devs just

#

forget about jake?

#

lmfao

wary sage
#

it really feels like it

fresh rapids
#

Bro got stuck in Finn's shadow

#

He's progressively gone from mid to low

safe falcon
#

It's so slow and has soooo much windup.

mossy linden
#

Same with the upwards axe lmao

fresh rapids
#

Before he was at least objectively bad

#

Now he's just

i don't know how to play anyone else

I've been learning other characters and playing them more but I do think Jake will still be my overall main.

fresh rapids
#

I've dabbled with Tom and Jerry but it's mainly been Jake

safe falcon
#

Despite his deteriorating moveset I can pickup more wins with Reindog than I can with Jake.

#

He's so rare that people don't know how to deal with him. x3

#

But Jake has one thing nobody else has:

#

The Cake skin.

#

Which means Jake wins.

fresh rapids
#

Ranked with jake would be crazy

#

We'd get beaten to death

safe falcon
#

I'm sure even in this state there exists someone who is cracked with him.

One crazy person always finds a way in games like these.

I’ve Already Mentioned My Thoughts On Jake (I Replied To It So Y’all Can Read If You’d Like.) But All I Can Say Now Is That I Guess We Wait Like 3 Patches? Idk I See It Taking A Bit Of Time Before Jake Gets Buff’s.

Can you swap side and neutral attacks

#

After the update

#

As a smash player, I'm about to lose it

celest mural
#

So for jakes set

#

Ur saying swap his jab with bite?

fresh rapids
#

There was an option in the beta to swap side attacks to the square button

#

Since those are the basic combo for each character it feels better like that to me

celest mural
#

So u can map all side attacks to a specific button

#

Including aerials?

#

Like forward air long punch

#

And his jab

fresh rapids
#

Actually I could technically map neutrals to l1 and r1

#

Side neutrals I mean

Actually I'll just wait until the update finishes and see if there's and new QOL stuff

I think the indie devs who are working on this are struggling lol

#

This is technically an indie game, just backed by WB

wary sage
mossy linden
timber sentinel
#

Seems like the devs absolutely hate Jake and Finn They just can’t compete with other characters and they’re easy knockouts

fresh rapids
#

Finn is good tbh

#

Not Jake though

#

I've seen people put Finn in S rank

radiant stratus
#

really good ringout potential

#

and some decently easy combos

#

not to mention a coin bag system and charge moves that u can DI

safe falcon
#

Oh absolutely, even a Finn that doesn't fully know what they're doing has a good shot.

timber sentinel
#

His only ring out potential is in his combos if you can’t get them off, then you will have trouble getting a ring out no matter how much coins you have in your bag before he used to be able to knock out people with his backpack in the middle of the map when they’re at 120 damage now it’s 200 damage for in the middle of the map plus that perk that increases his knockback and attack damage the more coins he has in the backpack seems like it doesn’t make a difference with it or without it it’s like it doesn’t even work they should give his up special his knockout potential back. It’s extremely unfair that everyone else can get a ring out very easily with just an up special or side special.or up attack

safe falcon
#

To be fair his up special used to be too good, to the point that all Finns did is spam it and get easy wins.

#

Beta Finns were something else.

#

Speaking of which, I still can't tell if attacks decay or not. If they do it doesn't seem like they did as much as they used to. They need to turn that back up.

timber sentinel
timber sentinel
safe falcon
#

Jake's up special has always been strange though, especially here where until they patched it using it lagged the match out.

timber sentinel
#

And it’s really obvious they have pure hatred on those characters because in beta they got Nerfed to the ground then on full release, they got Nerfed even more every good character in beta got even better in full release with additional effects on their specials plus some had no cool downs ect

safe falcon
#

As for Finn's, I've seen people pretty reliably kill at the top with the backpack, I'm not entirely sure it's as bad as you're making it out to be. Is the issue that you have to be near the blast line to do it? That seems pretty normal.

#

Just in general a lot of people seem to be freaking out over 100's range kills when that's normal for a game like this, you're only really getting 30-80 range kills with people who are good at combos or setups that are broken.

timber sentinel
#

Only at the top or if you push them to the side, that’s the only time it works. Other than that you won’t ring them out until they’re at 200 damage it doesn’t really seem normal to me when every other character is better with easy ring outs every character in the game should have the same ring out potential it’s called balance I already know for a fact where they’re headed, and they’re doing the exact same thing as the beta which is weekly rotation of patches of who is the best meta and it definitely doesn’t seem normal when they were Nerfed into the ground initially beta and got Nerfed even more in full release and every other character got even better than before none of that makes any sense

Jake may be the most mid character

#

I found this out the hard way lol

#

I was trying to edge guard wonder women and we traded from a mile away

fresh rapids
#

So one "combo" I like to do

#

I do the 3 hit side attack

#

Then after the enemy is knocked back I dash towards them and use his up axe

#

They usually don't see it coming for some reason

#

There's also the classic "slateboard-bite" combo where if you do the 3 skateboard hits correctly you can follow it up with a bite

celest mural

#

Can we please fix it to where jake's moves don't take knockback? Especially his sair. Maybe a good compromise is that he takes damage but no knockback as it really ruins a lot of gameplay with him. Thanks!

celest mural
#

He shouldnt take any damage

static knoll
#

yeah

#

exactly

fresh rapids
#

Imagine if Jake's attacks didn't have hurtboxes

It’s like piranha plant in smash but worse

#

It’s so dumb

#

Also I wish it was easier to combo into / out of Up-B, like it was in the beta.
the Up-Air hitbox should also extend into Jake's body slightly

storm mesa
#

Maybe it could have fixed Di, like how Arya up special was

fresh rapids
#

I'm no lifeing this game so I can be #1 Jake

#

And yet my win rate is still under 30% 😭

#

Half the time I lose it isn't even because of skill

#

His hurtbox legit flies everywhere

#

His attacks are slow and do less damage than other characters faster attacks

#

And all this could be fixed so easily with a small patch

#

But instead thy ignore him to nerf random characters while leaving the broken ones broken

On everything, the hurtboxes and random nerfs and pseudo-buffs are garbage but at least they trying

#

how do u even touch iron giant without dying

#

everyone else has been okay to fight but IG it's just trading 8 damage for 80

cosmic meadow
#

get lucky

#

lol

#

but it's nearly impossible against a decent IG

mossy linden
austere aspen
#

specifically

mossy linden
#

Personally I find IG as a good matchup because as Jake you move a lot faster, so you need to use jumps and dodges quite a lot just to move around IG and get hits off, a lot of his attacks only use one half of his character so it’s easy to get hits on the half that he isn’t using and he’s generally slow so you can see his attacks coming and easily dodge

#

I find it easiest to ringout IG from the top as Jake’s up special and punches up can get a nice ringout as IG is tall asf

#

They find it kinda hard to hit Jake too since he’s much smaller and always jumping around but idk, might not have got a very good IG yet

austere aspen
#

i relied on fair a lot and one fair = command grab to death combo

mossy linden
#

But Jake’s head is a hitbox in that so sometimes IG can easily hit it as ur going through him which is annoying

austere aspen
#

why did they gut Jake like this

A majority of the beta s tiers are still great

And all of them are still better than jake for sure

Except maybe velma but she got buffs

Idk I’m just assuming because Superman got gutted too not just Jake and Velma got gutted too, she recently just got buffed

All those characters ran the open beta

Velma got buffs

just cause idk

they are kind off trolling jake mains

I dont think its intentional

#

Jake and cake have been in the main cinematic trailers with a spotlight on them

#

They clearly dont dislike the character

#

Its just they probably dont realize how bad he is

I just think its not their priority

Well it wasnt

But next patch is more balance based

So we should get something

Buff Jake

buff jake

#

lets start a buff jake chain in game support/ jake the dog thread

fresh rapids
#

Thing is even when your good with him he's still just unfair

#

Thr amount of times I've hit someone and taken damage from it

#

His damage output feels unfair for how slow it is, you put in a ton of effort and it only does half as much damage as the enemy can easily do

static knoll
#

This^

static knoll
#

B U F F J A K E

clear jackal
#

Objectively best way to fix jake:

- bring back his stall to how it was at the end of beta
- give house and sair some priority (i shouldnt be trading with a sandwich)
- increase the base bite duration by 0.5s (as in how long you can hold them for)

#

With that he's basically guaranteed at least mid tier

static knoll
#

Further Guide to fix jake:

Speed up: Neutral attack, skateboard, down special
Remove: Damage/ Knockback from all of his attacks (His sair becomes a punishment to himself if it takes damage from across the map. Theres no way his hits should punish himself often)

If you fix above, then you can nerf the bite
If you dont agree. I could concede that he should maybe take damage for his attacks, but no knockback
I never use his double neutral attack move (puff into spin) because it is wayyy too slow

clear jackal
#

I dont think it should be a 100% conversion rate but rn the second hit is like a millenium after the firs

#

#

Honestly i think sair having a hurtbox isnt horrible, it just has no prio which sucks

fresh rapids
#

I don't know any other character that punishes themselves as much as jake

static knoll

#

yeah his skatboard is butchered

So, Devs. If you see this, it seems as though the Jake The Dog Community agrees on these terms for the character patch. Please implement these changes accordingly! If so, Jake will be viable to use! Thank you!

Dear PlayerFirstGames and WB Games Staff,

I hope this message finds you well. As an enthusiastic player of MultiVersus, I have some suggestions for improving the balance and gameplay experience for the character Jake the Dog.

Speed Adjustments: I've noticed that Jake's neutral attack, skateboard, and down special moves could benefit from a speed increase. The current speed of these moves often puts Jake at a disadvantage during gameplay.

Damage and Knockback: Currently, all of Jake's attacks cause damage and knockback to himself, particularly his sair move. This often results in self-punishment, especially when damage is taken from across the map. I suggest removing or reducing the self-inflicted damage and knockback from his attacks.

 2a. If the reason this is a thing, is because Jake uses his body to attack:
   He is elastic, so the energy that impacts him for attacking is evenly distributed through his elastic body so that he takes no damage (such as vibranium from Marvel)
    Batman also kicks and doesn't get affected by attacks to his legs.

Double Neutral Attack Move: The double neutral attack move (puff into spin) is currently too slow to be effectively used in gameplay. I suggest increasing its speed or reworking it to make it more viable.

Alternative Suggestion: If there's disagreement with the above points, I propose a compromise where Jake could still take MINOR damage from his attacks, but without any knockback. This could help prevent self-punishment while maintaining some level of challenge. However, that wouldn't make sense (See bullet point 2 subsection)

#

Priority: Jake's moves do not have very good priority. Often, all other characters punish him because of his low priority.

Thank you for considering my suggestions. I believe these changes could greatly enhance the gameplay experience for those who choose Jake the Dog as their character.
Note: Skateboard is very inconsistent due to the "floatiness" people mention with that move and doesn't often land second board
Bug: Garnett often doesnt get projectile spit when Jake eats her under certain cirumstances. She often lands directly below him without any stun or knockback, punishing Jake. (I have video of this

#

I can send the video privately if u wannna see

Or ill post to clips

ye ik i went agaisnt those

#

Jake has a great kit its just not optimized

ashen echo
#

they spammed dair and any time they did that i turned into a car

#

its not really about killing her with the box, the box isnt a kill move anyways

#

its about iliminating it to decrease her zoning capacity

#

i never succeded in transforming it into mine without making it explode, it doesnt hurt you tho

#

i'll use my jake art as my pfp too hold on 😭

much better

what tier u at rn

yea no one is that far either

idk which tier is it, but i'm on the second one after you scroll twice

yeah im on 38 rn

#

its at 54

ashen echo
#

he's that character

brittle sphinx
#

i mean not too far since we grinded to 30 before we even got the battlepass xp change

ashen echo
#

that only those with true skill and love for the game strive for

#

i havent even played rifts except for if i wanted to get a mission done

ashen echo
#

i dont even have friends to help me on those

#

😭

#

i still havent figured out what the stars are for

brittle sphinx
#

apparently like if u know someone that already beat the bosses u can have them inv u to it and u get the reword for beating that boss too

ashen echo
#

pretty sure the game tells you that your friend dont have that level unlocked and when you both play it your friend doesnt get rewarded

brittle sphinx
#

that would make sense

#

it worked for me on the first one tho then i never tried it again

fresh rapids

I actually hadn't thought about that

Well I learned Jake can kill way earlier than I thought he could with that air combo

Usually I just damage the opponent as much as possible and then try to off them with his fully charged ground up

I'll definitely try to incorporate some new stuff into my jake playstyle after that

we got a ton of wins but my goodness it felt like a war

going to try to lab something but they stole his sauce and idk if there's any left to find

Jake feels like you have to put ur heart and soul into playing him just to barely secure wins

#

Like every match is a battlefield

fresh rapids

That feeling when you're doing good after whaling on the enemy for a while but they catch up to your damage in seconds

Meanwhile i know the joker im fighting is just spacing out 🤣

🥺

how is jake even considered a bruiser

fresh rapids

The only thing bruised is my ego

#

Il do an elaborate non true combo and get them to 30%

#

They jab me and they get the same.

#

Or higher as wonderwoman 🤣

fresh rapids
#

It's always a losing battle with Jake...

#

You have to lock in just to do the bare minimum

#

Meanwhile other characters are doing it with one hand

celest mural

Exactly!!

#

Jake can get wins but the amount of effort is escrutiating

fresh rapids
#

Frfr

celest mural
#

Playing jake makes average enemy players basically have a professionals level of advantage

fresh rapids
#

I feel like if he did more damage his slowness might be worth it

#

But as of rn it's not worth it at all

#

Most characters do more damage faster

celest mural
#

On top of all this jake is a light weight 🤣

#

No survivability
No damage
No kill power
No safe moves
No fast moves

fresh rapids
#

Well his ups in general have kill power

#

Nothing else really does

#

He doesn't have any safe moves because he is WAY too punishable

#

If you swallow garnet she can literally punish you for it

#

If you punch anybody who's attacking in the opposite direction of you YOU CAN STILL GET HIT BY THE ATTACK BECAUSE YOUR FIST HAS A HURTBOX

#

Like somebody could be facing to the right and attacking

#

You could be behind them

#

You hit them while they're attacking

#

And you're the one to get hit
