#Jake The Dog
1 messages · Page 3 of 1
I've been having a blast doing the 0 to death double bite off stage though
Wanna 1v1? Its just a friebdly match
U
Yeha but not as lag
ggs I've got to hit it
Sometimwa i didnt chase dodge lol
I dodge before most my jumps which launches me
Like brawlhalla
exactly
Feels weird in mvs
it doesn't
Does it really have any difference?
One last match ill try what u said
alr
Should we go both jake or?
I could go ww but she's dumb
Lets just go jake v jake so its fair
oki doki
happens
Ur rlly gud at abusing his eat
I wanna see if that playstyle do work on other characters
So how does it work when u play online?
I mean is it effective on good players
for sure
Dang ur a really good jake
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
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
I tried doing ur thing. Its kinda hard to play upclose since jake doesnt have good options for uo close air battle
If u have some like gameplays ill be thankful if u send one. Can learn from u
Best character ever
Using sair has been stucked to my brian
How do u approach then?
I dont think i play with bots. They di rematches but they are just not as good as like decent
Whats ur perks btw
normally hover in air till they attack
Do use a controller? If so d-pad or analog for movement?
keyboard
but I would use dpad on controller
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
how it be
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
yeah he's not in the best position
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
really how come?
Just try dpad. It does better inputs and movements
but for jake is analog not better for aiming his forward air?
Actually aiming is easy on dpad
And better imo
I also use it on marvin's up attack
Who y’all hate playing against the most as Jake? For me it’s wonder woman
Joker or harley
Damn I hate harleys
What characters do u find the easiest to vs? For me it’s Jason and Rick
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
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
ricks portal potential is insane
Fs
Jason is just really a combo punching bag
Yeah it really depends on player skill a good Rick is a big problem
When Rick shoots his gun it’s so easy to go horse under the bullets and get easy dmg on Rick
Fr her hits are so powerful
I struggle to get near wonder woman she always uses a move where she becomes literally untouchable whenever I charge at her
Jakes playstyle rn is way too specials reliant
Combos are slow and are almost never true
Ikr! It’s like every character is faster than Jake.
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
Fr
I feel like his only safe move is the long punch, which can be very predictable
Even that is unsafe
Yeah when they spam the up backpack it’s just domination tbh
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
Oh damn I didn’t even know his fist had a hitbox
Yep they deffo need to be more ‘heavy’ idk how im getting jabbed when I just turned into a house.
Yup meaning if an enemy hits or grabs ur fist it counts as hitting you
Yeah it always confused me when I got damaged from doing it
Same for axe upsmash
But jake2free is good really
Yea he’s so gd
I 1v1 him he plays jake si differently
How so
U can say he is good at punishing
Jake’s down special rly needs to be more punishing tho
Try to 1v1 him. He can kill u o to death
He doesnt play sair. He is very aggressive
With upspecials and upairs i assume
Probably some bites thrown in
No he bites u
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
Forward airs and bites?
Well bite isnt gonna kill at low percents
He did tho
Sounds like bad DI
bite and spit off stage?
Basically he is a good at punishing
He gets close to u not giving a soace
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
@cosmic meadow u should send clips of ur gameplays sometimes. It'll help for some jake players
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 😭
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
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
Hey it isnt. A fighting game needs those
Also sucks that in the Discord you have to choose between having access to competitive or casual lfg channels
I'm bout to become Tiffany
(Adventure Time reference if you get it)
If marceline becomes a character it's over or even ice king
The obssess guy
I want a wizard jake or eizard fin skin
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.
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
Yeah its a scummy practice and I hate it. They even said something that it was a "bug"
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.
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
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...
Atleast make it 1k. All of the free rewards are perk currencies like whaat? Why isnt the perks just the rewards for mastery level
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.
Steven I cannot for the life of me counter a Steven unless he has 12 wins
Suprisingly I haven't come across either of those.
I remember having issues with Finn though, I think.
That clone really annoys me
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.
this video distorted my perception of reality https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYj-rX8ZXrs
Jake is GOOD!?
Sair shouldnt be use often
Idk jake2free hasnt send any gameplay
His jake is the one i wanna learn
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.
Nah that guy is lowkey waffling
He said mace is way better than dtilt which is such a crazy stretch
Thanks
Ur actuallly really good at hitting the eat move
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
Dang its more clearer now
So yeah thats alot to sacrafice for like fancy combos but its a really effective playstyle
Im sure we have been saying that everyday since launch
Realll
They HAVE to fix him
so true
@cosmic meadow Dpad or analog stick for movement?
dpad
Why just curious
Spit them out onto the side wall it’s better trust
in opportunities where u can^
more accurate
ye ik, going for the gimp though
....I think I may have found a double jake team that kicked my butt
i’ve seen so many double jake’s using the bite chain 😭
That's hilarious never thought of that 💀
bro that is absolutely insane
made me happy to see a banana guard get man handled like that
lol
some more banana therapy
god bless you, i should start paying u instead of my therapist
cash only
i can agree with that 🙏
I hope so...
Errrm what Jake patch gulp
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
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
I got vored by a jake player who jumped off a cliff
Yeahhh that happens
Jake relies on his neutral special now
No seriously the move is one of his redeeming factors since it garentees kills & cheese
I like how we're at the top of the members list
just because we play on consoles
💀
I mainly play on PC...
Ah, your role said xbox
Oh yeah I was a Xbox player in the beta and I first played full launch on Xbox too
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
is jake a fun character?
been thinking about adding a secondary after having mained stripe
He’s Fun But Not Worth Using In The Meta Atm.
im a casual player (until i get better) so am just using whats fun
yes jake is completely fine for everything but the most elite level of play
jake is so hard to play
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
Oh yeah it switches sometimes
If it just had more range
His speed might not be a problem if his moveset was actually good
My personal suggestions
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
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
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)
Pls write True Combos/ normal Combos w/Jake
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
My glorious king Jake will get a buff eventually
We are approaching the day when we will finally be freed from the torture
he is not the honored one
does jake have any real combos
like i’m not talking like 4 hits i mean a real combo
Not without walls
Also baus
yeah
Im sharpening my pitchfork just in case
its probably gonna be a useless buff
U bring the torches
like barely anything
No hes gonna get the biggest and greatest buff and finally be useable
Time to uninstall
0 reworks is insane
are the patch notes out?
not yet
everything is still under maintenance
come back in maybe a half hour or so
oh
No jake buff...
🤦♂️
If anything he's even worse now
OHHHH NOOOOOOOOOO
They buffed everybody BUT him
i thought they listened to their community lol
im gonna die
At least Harley got nerfed
free jake
FREE JAKE BOI
“We are aware of this characters strength” under every op character and does nothing substantial about them
real
Could of jus been an announcement tbh
That's sadly true
He might actually the be worst 😔
Delayed gratification
Every other character can at least do various combos
The buffs are gonna feel even better when they come
The thing is they kinda have to buff him next patch now
Jake being the literal worst
I just hope it’s significant
no jake buff is insane
I have respect for anyone who mains Jake now
Tbf apparently next patch gonna be very balance based
So i assume next one we getting something goood
Yay, new patch! Oh, I hope they tweaked Jake!.....
Was what I thought reading the notes. Only to be very disappointed at the end.
i honestly mostly switched to bugs in 2v2 and jason in 1v1
jake somtimes feels unbearable
Wasnt the last patchnote 2 weeks ago
I find it a slog to even get the daily missions done now.
Honestly jake might go at the bottom of a tier list
Even Velma got a buff
He has practically nothing going for him
yup
Wait its been exactly one week since the last buff
slow, hits light, little combo possibilities, easily rung out
Which means in one more week we should get another
i wanted to switch to gizmo
bit late
but he got like the most nerfs
did Jake’s fist in sair have hitbox in beta? I can’t remember
At least to fight as jake
no
Nope no hurtbox
Thats what im saying
Is jake better or worse than garnet
Im tired of barely punching a projectile
And getting punished for landing my hit on an enemy
The determination that it takes to continue maining Jake...
Frrr
It's going to be impossible to even play as him anymore
Nice jake is still useless
Even if you're skilled you still can't win
that could make his sair feel unbalanced
This
i am stuck with jake
No it wouldnt 💀
they took away the most fun part of his kit wich is the skateboard
Jake should have range
I could not win with jake. Then i switched to banana guard and just didnt lose
he isnt good nor fun
i mean people moaned about it all day in beta
The game isnt even about skill anymore it is dependent on ur character
Well this game is completely different from how the beta plays
Remember its a lot slower
Moves are punishable now
Dodges are a resource
Jake deserves something unbalanced tbh
Jake right now feels like u have to be mega mind
It feels like so many other characters have something unbalanced
To win
yeah but his sair is by far not his worst ability right now
Yeah it’s not
not something that urgently needs a buff
His worst is his down air
They butchered his down air
the house is way too slow too
The house can be slow but it better out priority every damn move in the game
yup the jab is ass
We actually need to push for the buff. We need to suggest the buffs to the devs somehow
It feels like he's got a lot of tools that are fun to use, but none of them are impactful enough.
Dash attack is really bad too
How? I already made a support ticket
EXACTLY
Does dash attack have ANY combos?
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.
Horse is fine tbh
Maybe a bit more damage
The last thing we need is any nerfs on jake at all
I also think that one perk should just be his down special in general, not just the house.
Jake feels a lot more slower then he did in beta
Unlike jason jake is a light weight who doesnt deal damage or killpower 🤣
Also why can horse only hit once 😭
It's not strong enough to need to be one of three random results.
This always bothered me
Its just dumb
How did Jake not get a buff
Ngl would be hella op
It works nicely in 2s
Probably the same way Bugs didn't get a nerf somehow.
Or how Banana Guard once again only got one little tweak. x3
Bugs is now even more over powered
They did it to Harley, he needs it too.
Also have you guys had the thing where your camera gets stuck as if you still have them bited
No, but that sounds awful.
Yeah you have to rebite them while the camera is completely zoomed on you
We understand this character's powe-
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.
The Jake players need a comeback bro
We need the "Aplogizing for being mean to dogs" patch where it's just Jake and Reindog buffs.
For the last few patches Reindog has been getting what little he can do broken more and more.
He really needs a comeback too.
If only there was somewhere we could give suggestions and the devs would see it
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
To be fair they do seem to be more aware of what crowds want on a basic level than most big box fighter titles. You wouldn't get fixes like this in Smash.
Now that I think about it can you swap side and neutral now
It's just something that kind of puts me off
We dodged another patch fellas 
Just like the players who dodge all of Jake's attacks 😔
Jake is just way too punishable...
wow they didnt touch jake
Nearly all of his attacks have an easy-to-hit hurtbox, and he's too slow to stop people from punishing him...
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
it really feels like it
God, everytime I actually land that spacing punch move I honestly feel bad for the opponent because how did you step into that?
It's so slow and has soooo much windup.
Same with the upwards axe lmao
That one you can at least catch people with on the full charge when they're falling, that's more understandable.
i have no choice but to keep maining him
Why not?
every character just isn't it for me
"Stand By Your Main"
Do you not have enough gleamium or FC?
Ah
i have mained jake for the entire time i played multiversus
Same
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.
I've dabbled with Tom and Jerry but it's mainly been Jake
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.
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.
How much does the battle pass cost
I think it's 950 gleamium.
I got it for free for being in the beta so I only have hearsay to go by though. x3
I’ll try him out for about 10 games if he’s too ass imma try to master someone new until his buffs come out
aint no way they released a patch today buffing characters no one asked for and nerfing characters that also no one asked for and forgot jake existed
oh my god
personally im maining stripe rn
thinking about having jake as a secondary/primary
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.
(Fair Warning That It Goes On For A Bit Though.)
Might get more into Rick in the meantime, he seems like fun.
I Get That, I Picked Up Steven, He’s Really Fun.
I grabbed Steven as well but I'm having trouble getting into the groove with him.
Wth
I'm getting murdered by a Jake rn
Just spacing and using charge punch and charge axe
he's a darksouls boss fight
just parry them
Can you swap side and neutral attacks
After the update
As a smash player, I'm about to lose it
What does this even mean
So for jakes set
Ur saying swap his jab with bite?
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
So u can map all side attacks to a specific button
Including aerials?
Like forward air long punch
And his jab
see lol
Actually I'll just wait until the update finishes and see if there's and new QOL stuff
its coming in a future patch
So after some tweaking ive realized you technically can't do this
You can't map both side specials to one button
Which is why the setting was there before
I have a lot of fun doing doubles with another jake as your teammate. Me and my homie just constantly use horse and then use interact to ride on the horse for super armor, and then using the chomp to get super armor, it’s pretty fun when you don’t take it serious
Fighting a finn
New adventure time episode confirmed!?!?!?!
Holy shi jake is useless against finn
Yea its fun when ur teammate actually uses the ride ability lol
i mean what he got, but also didnt, is that he feels twice as faster than before but ig that's for everyone
Jake is still playable, for me at least… but cmon buff him already!🤦♂️
which means that now you can actually pull off combos
He just needs a little more speed
Faxx😭
Im acc hitting devious clips
Ngl put jake S tier
I think the indie devs who are working on this are struggling lol
This is technically an indie game, just backed by WB
yea give super armor to all of his moves
🙏🙏🙏
Seems like the devs absolutely hate Jake and Finn They just can’t compete with other characters and they’re easy knockouts
finn is craaazy
really good ringout potential
and some decently easy combos
not to mention a coin bag system and charge moves that u can DI
Oh absolutely, even a Finn that doesn't fully know what they're doing has a good shot.
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
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.
That might be somewhat true, but his up special should be on par with everybody else’s. It should be fairly balanced with the same ring out potential as anybody else and Finn and Jake are the only ones who have trouble with that there’s literally pure hatred on those two and Velma
100% I don’t know why they removed it. I thought it was a good feature to have because it stopped a lot of people from doing the same attack over and over
Jake's up special has always been strange though, especially here where until they patched it using it lagged the match out.
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
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.
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
@celest mural i just came across your stream on tiktok lol
i had no clue man, you're super entertaining
best of luck :P
i was like "oh i recognize that name.." and ended up being pleasantly surprised :D
I don’t know he feels on the lower end rn. Probably around Velma but definitely better than her
I mean it’s 2s though
wow thank u so much!
what was ur tiktok name?
Is it just me or the game feels even slower after patch
Whats up Jake bros
🤜🤛
Any general tips I should know when playing Jake?
SizzleLovesJazz with a pfp of my pet guinea pig
he throws his hitbox around a lot so try not to be predictable
I found this out the hard way lol
I was trying to edge guard wonder women and we traded from a mile away
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
I hate her so much
Oh yeah!! Hopefully it was when i was doing good it took a while to warm up 🤣🤣
I follow that with a down special normally and it’s a ringout if they have high dmg
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!
U shouldnt be punished for landing a direct hit
He shouldnt take any damage
Imagine if Jake's attacks didn't have hurtboxes
It’s like piranha plant in smash but worse
Thats what Ive been saying.
It’s so dumb
Atleast pirhana plant has some knockback resistance so he doesn't just get knocked out of his attack by a kitten sneezing, but I swear Jake right now just loses to the dumbest things
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
Maybe it could have fixed Di, like how Arya up special was
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
preach
On everything, the hurtboxes and random nerfs and pseudo-buffs are garbage but at least they trying
to work something out down the line. Sucks a lot that nothing really changing fully.
❤️
Ngl bro this could be a skill issue
Fr
Yeah that's partially a skill issue
But still
It's mainly due to getting disconnected and fighting cheap players
^
what are how to jake
What?
what is his game plan/ moves are good to use/what are his bnbs
He doesn't really have too many combos tbh...
😟
does he have kill confirms 
If you can catch them with up attack up attack and then up special and predict where they might try to fall then you can kill people up top who tried jumping above ya ol
His most reliable is his two hit up attack if they're close enough to the top.
which perk should i use
i always use the stretch stun
Yeah, the house one is a bit too specific and situational.
Top Jake: AMA
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
You need good movement
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
i will attempt this next time i see it but the up special never seems to even take him of the ground and he had no problems hitting me bc anything i do has a hurtbox
i relied on fair a lot and one fair = command grab to death combo
I normally do the up special when IG is already in the air from an attack which is normally successful
But Jake’s head is a hitbox in that so sometimes IG can easily hit it as ur going through him which is annoying
why did they gut Jake like this
When he’s mid attack, try dodge behind and combo up
Fr😖
So far theres been a patch every Thursday
So maybe next thursday jake will get his buff
Because he dominated open beta
Yet bugs is still good
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
i feel like jake still won't get anything
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
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
This^

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
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
Oh yeah i forgot skateboard
I dont think it should be a 100% conversion rate but rn the second hit is like a millenium after the firs
t
Honestly i think sair having a hurtbox isnt horrible, it just has no prio which sucks
One of the best suggestions tbh
I don't know any other character that punishes themselves as much as jake
IVe put in so many hours into jake in the beta and now, and these are the biggest issues with him currently! Thanks!
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!
Chances are ur better off responding to one of their tweets
To get a response
What, they don't read the "Game Feedback" channel? Makes sense!
Im sure they skim it over for sure
But from my experience ive only ever seen them reply via twitter
I hope they see our concerns with Jake!
Also Dont Forget About Tickets
''Jake
- Air Down Attack - Removed instant cancel out of the attack to prevent skateboard infinites
No longer bounces off allies - Ground Up Attack - Additional whiff recovery; Slightly later charge cancel window to make it a bit more committal''
hold on
did they nerf him
on the up ground axe attack
Is it?
a true true
can he still bounce off allies tho?
i remember bouncing on my allies heads with the skateboard on beta
seems they removed it just after i quit the game
i clipped some bulllshite too
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
https://outplayed.tv/media/wBOnoV such as this.
what moves gives jake damage?
you phrased that poorly
you made it look like he punches people and takes damage
Okay how to reword
'' he has hurtboxes on his dair and up ground attack, making it easy for anyone to punish him and zone his own attacks''
you can actually destroy those with sair special
Ty @ashen echo sorry I word things weird
did you know that you can turn harley box against her with that
sorry i meant dair
special
https://outplayed.tv/media/KxZX4z like you can really just do stuff like these against them
clipped by me
ye ik i went agaisnt those
Jake has a great kit its just not optimized
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
i got calico cake
i have the cake skin but im tired of it now
rifts skin?
i never heard of rift skin
oh true
i dont really like it, not gonna strive for that
mann i forget how the original jake sounds cause ive had cake since it came out 😭
like the skin or in the show
i have calico cake but i only use jake because i like him better as a character
agreed
valid
frr
i was playing against the starchild jake and the stretchy move looks so glitchy but its so cool
like the color be changing rapidly
i've only went agaisnt one star child jake ever and it was on beta
does it just stay blue for u
oh maybe it is just me
factsss
literally
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
he's that character
i mean not too far since we grinded to 30 before we even got the battlepass xp change
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
i dont even have friends to help me on those
😭
i still havent figured out what the stars are for
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
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
that would make sense
it worked for me on the first one tho then i never tried it again
I actually hadn't thought about that
sheesh couldnt even approach this morty because of arm hurtbox smh
Support forwarded my Jake Patch notes to the team
and the hurtbox was denoted there
good looks
YO, sick.
Okay that's just unfair
Were you able to see it?
I set it as "Unlisted"
Yeah I saw it
Okay. Thanks!
BTW, if any Jake mains here want to 1v1 lmk
Want to take every opportunity to get better at him
Beat the last Jake I fought but still probably not the best by far
YTHamster
I'll hop on
BTW if I kill myself it's prob because my wifi made made me start lagging
It's been cutting on and off
Nope
Gg
Wifi
💀
Ye
It shows I'm in the lobby for custom game
I may have to leave
Alr invite me again
Either I suck or you're really good 😭
I jumped myself to death 💀
Gg tho
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
True
I'll definitely try to incorporate some new stuff into my jake playstyle after that
I played as jake on my live all day today
we got a ton of wins but my goodness it felt like a war
im worn out from using my brain on 200% capacity LOL
u have to literally predict EVERYthing ur opponent does with jakes current state
This character needs buffs more than anyone else in the roster and its not even close
W stream btw
HEY! and thank you so much! I was really happy to see u there!!
Would have joined, had I known you were streaming
Thanks a ton cascade! Well ur always welcome 🙂
Actually I may start doing multiversus lives on YouTube, haven't touched my channel in a long time but it could make for good content
not gonna touch multiversus until they fix jake
and most hitboxes
mainly jake though
did they fix the hitboxes?
When i played launch week i had attacks going through opponents
Assuming inside of a vacuum this character wasn't as bad as he feels rn
What're some optimal attack routes to learn with this guy?
streets said there are none
i have been jab 12 dtilt into fair fair fair fair fair
and fair fair fair fair
or fair dair dair dair
and up air 1 2 up special with sticky perk for early kills
oh and jab 1 2 up tilt
It did feel like I couldn't land any sequences longer than committing heavy to x number of skateboard hits>nair>and usually punishing a randomly mashed dodge in after that with sair
I was hoping there was something consistent in the realm of actual strings but I've mostly only gotten cheese to work to win any games
exact same experience
going to try to lab something but they stole his sauce and idk if there's any left to find
The funniest thing to me was dying to a wonder woman holding uptilt charge and dying because I tried to punish them with sair and got beaten out by said uptilt because hand is hurtbox
I'll be a lab guinea pig if anyone wants by actually dodging out of hitstun unlike the lab dummy
my favorite was dying to Toms death zone bc of fair hurtbox
Long reaching aerial sortve means nothing if you risk dying trying to space with it
What a tragedy
got setup trying to actually punish him for just throwing out moves 😭
bros playing a single player game on the other end of the stage against jake
I did have some fun against one iron giant player by doing nair into skateboard over and over again because they refused to press an appropriate response to it
i have to try that bc i got annihilated by an iron giant, they just react grabbed all my moves and i would get snatched from across the stage or behind him
But the legit only fun I've had is throwing my ones games just dash dancing and killing myself over and over
The iron giant I did that to was p bad and didn't at all actually do any of the ig cheese. But I was parrying them on everything which was cooo
I've seen dair dair dair nair
Day #17 of suffering with jake 🫡
Dude i played wonderwoman for a few games just to play a meta character for a change
Its basically impossible to lose
Tom and Jerry is starting to become really tempting ngl
They are really fun
I don't know how much longer I can do Jake 😭
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
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 🤣
IKR
🥺
how is jake even considered a bruiser
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 🤣
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
Frfr
Playing jake makes average enemy players basically have a professionals level of advantage
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
On top of all this jake is a light weight 🤣
No survivability
No damage
No kill power
No safe moves
No fast moves
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
I noticed garnet can avoid the knockback entirely which has to be a glitch
Yeah but they have hurtboxes and arent safe and nothing else does 🤣
I know they have hurtboxes because batman can down aerial them
Absolutely fair
Tbh yeah
Thats how ranged characters in every fighting game work
Lmao
Look at min min in smash ultimate
Tbh I feel like Jake could be fine as is if he just didn't have the hurtboxes and his attacks did more damage
Whats the point of range if ur throwing ur weakness out there too
