Jake can do the same strat with little difference and can still win

#

I'm still on the side of neutral special nerfs are (mostly) unjustified. A bite spamming Jake that just needs a stock advantage to just suicide isn't fun to fight but its removing a fun tool in his kit

#

I do agree with Jake spitting out the enemy/dying first along of having a easier time escaping but was it nessasary to remove the ability to jump?

glad dagger
#

idk why they made him so reliant on nair stretchy punch and bite

mossy linden
#

Think it’s coz they want him to be an aerial bruiser. Doesn’t mean that they should just leave jab and most other grounded attacks just completely terrible smh. But now the endlag on nair and sair makes the aerial attacks even slower than before

glad dagger
#

and when no one else has endlag like that either lmao

#

i wish he had options like the beta

#

if house was still that fast but contestable it'd actually be a better option
really confused on why they make a slow character when everyone else is fast

ashen echo
#

ngl this nerf was so bad that it genuinely made me feel anguish

#

you literally cannot win against a good player

#

they sucked out the fun

#

there's no reason to play anymore

muted lance
#

That's why I've moved to Beetlejuice and Jason and Banana Guard lol

#

It's over for this character

crude reef
#

only reason why i main jake is because his moves are actually fun

#

literally anytime i use a different character i find it boring

ashen echo
#

it's impossible

crude reef
#

but with the recent changes to jake and his kill potential being worse that it was before i just dont know what to do actually

crude reef
#

i was a bugs main back in the beta and started using him when the game came back

ashen echo
crude reef
#

i used jake once in the beta but i thought he was lame

ashen echo
#

and then they take out his only moves that had early kill potential

#

and they gave nothing in return

crude reef
#

i randomly used him one day around s1 and realized how fun his moves were but he was still very weak

crude reef
#

then they actually gave him a kill potential move like nair to special follow up

#

but now after using it once

#

the end lag is so horrible

#

and up air being nerfed to 1150?

#

that barely kills

ashen echo
#

the only rewarding way of using his sair now is if you dodge first, then if u sair after it u have no endlag

#

that at the cost of stamina tho

crude reef
#

fr

#

and losing stamina in this game is very common

ashen echo
#

that's how sh*t his uppair is rn

crude reef
#

and his horse too

#

completely garbage

#

only hits once for some reason

#

and it still doesn’t hit anyone

ashen echo
#

now u are like, forced to uppair once to stun them, stretch as close as possible to the blast zone and then finish the job

#

that if they arent below 40 percent

#

or 50

crude reef
#

cuz the first hit literally be sending them away

#

especially when trying to hit them at like 130

#

the follow up won’t even hit them

ashen echo
#

just so u cant land second uppair

#

it will shove them so up high that u cant land it

crude reef
#

that’s what i’m sayin

#

then i’m out here dying to superman side special at 40 due to his perk

#

absolute bs

#

and skateboard

#

still worse move in the game

#

doesn’t connect to each other

#

or they can literally dodge out of it mid combo

ashen echo
#

well thanks to the weird ass nair they changed now

crude reef
#

and teching added to the game so no follow ups

ashen echo
#

sometimes you can skate twice, nair and skate twice bite

#

cuz some times they dont ricochet on the ground for the nair, they just

#

hoover it

crude reef
#

and his moves are way too slow to try and read them

ashen echo
#

yea but sometimes the nair doesnt make them ricochet

#

that's when u can land skate

crude reef
#

oh bet

#

and skateboard of edge

#

literally the worst thing you can do

#

trying to kill them at the bottom of the blast zone

#

skateboard them into wall

#

dodge out of it

#

skateboard not to wall

#

still be able to dodge

ashen echo
#

they panick if you land skateboard offstage on them

crude reef
#

yeah but most of the time they literally dodge out of it

#

but then my combo is still going so i couldn’t cancel it in time

#

and die

ashen echo
#

oh yea when they dodge out of the way u just fall down

crude reef
#

yep

ashen echo
#

talk about high reward high risk

#

lol

crude reef
#

fr

#

actually no way to use the skateboard anymore

#

unless you do double skateboard then cancel to use another move

#

but most jake’s wouldn’t even know that

#

i literally just found that our 3 days ago

ashen echo
#

well last season

#

i did skateboard into stretchy into uppair

#

it killed

#

i clipped it as well

crude reef
#

that works?

#

wait have yall realized that jake’s jab

#

like when you dash cancel to jab

#

it literally stops him mid way through

#

unlike everyone else

#

they making jake bad on purpose 😭🙏

neon steeple
#

does jake still not have a single combo to his name chat⁉️

grim burrow
#

They got rid of the cool skateboard super jump

muted lance
#

If you're not a Reindog then PFG doesn't like your dog

thick timber
neon steeple
crude reef
#

cuz they don’t want jake to be good

#

every character out here having a 3-6 hit true combo with good damage

#

but jake out here having no combos and bad damage

muted lance
#

That's what I'm saying man

#

They need to redo a good chunk of his moveset tbh

ornate ruin
#

Nair + air down , bite , air side, the only moves a gm jake uses

ornate ruin
static knoll
#

He’s still good in my opinion buddy

grim burrow
#

I'd love to have whatever you're on

neon steeple

brittle sphinx
#

bro really said jake is still really good lmfao

#

hes literally so much slower

#

skateboard

#

IS EVEN WORSE

#

INSANE

#

fighting fast characters on jake is point blank impossible now

#

like

#

I can no longer kill early at the top as i used to previously with the reduced knockback or mace 2

#

which was literally his saving grace

#

sure hes getting torn up most of the match but atleast he can get those early kills

#

but NAH

static knoll
#

u really went to my profile?

brittle sphinx
#

you said jake is still "really good" and he checked your stats

neon steeple
brittle sphinx
#

or not really good idk what u even said tbf

#

jake is gone

#

i wanna play a different character but at the same time this is the only character that interests me

#

actually wild

crude reef
#

they really nerfed it to 1150

#

that’s not gonna kill at all

brittle sphinx
#

nair in to nair 2

#

lol

#

this character is done

#

how every update has made him progressively worse is beyond me

crude reef
brittle sphinx
#

😂

#

"jake has been underperforming" so we have decided to nerff him further

crude reef
#

funny how they say they will find a way to make him better

#

just to make him worse every patch

brittle sphinx
#

skateboard was actually viable in season 1

#

once they land of the floor you can iad on them

#

even if it wasnt the best

#

it was much better than it is now

#

ESPECIALLY with the addition of tech

#

u literally gotta predict which way they roll

#

rip my boy

#

my boyyyy

#

my boyyyyyyyyyy

crude reef
#

really no point in using skateboard unless you cancel the third hit

glad dagger
#

i don't think its bad that you have to read the tech tbh

#

even if the ground bounce combo was better

brittle sphinx
#

this is just yet another part to it

#

geniunely insane

#

rip my boy

neon steeple
#

Don’t touch Arya and ww✅ Nerf jake and Jason✅ kinda funny how we actually play a game where character strength is dependent on who devs main

crude reef
#

fr

brittle sphinx
#

they gotta be riding nakats nuts

#

cuz WW being untouched and actually recieving a buff

#

is not possible

#

just because community managers dont "contibute to balancing"

#

doesnt mean they arent getting their feed back from the lowkey

glad dagger
#

should at least be able to get one ground bounce before they tech the third hit of dair

brittle sphinx
#

why else would they have them try out unreleased characters

glad dagger
#

fr like how do they look at top 8s being mostly ww and think she's fine lol

brittle sphinx
#

NAKAT PLEASE YOUR THE BEST PLATFORM PLAYER IN THE WHOLE GAME WE NEED YOUR HELP GUIDANCE AND INTILLEGENCE PLEASE

#

bros tierlist were straight up garbage in beta im not gonna lie to you

#

you can go ahead and watch his early ones

#

bro was calling WW balanced

#

in BETA

glad dagger
#

i think they at least got rid of that weird vacuum thing with her nair

#

i think every top tier just boils down to either dodge jab or broken frame data

glad dagger
#

the funniest thing is despite any change jake gets i still cheese people really early with up b

autumn pond
#

please bring back the old skateboard

#

thats all i want from the devs

clear jackal
#

Wait is jake better or worse than last patch

#

Havent played the game in months

topaz edge
#

He still need buffs

mossy linden
#

Definitely low tier

wet flicker
#

Yeah he definitely feels more like a fighter now but I feel that frustration of going for a kill for it to just barely knock them away

#

Only thing that seems to work still is up special into up air(if necessary)

thick timber
#

O i thought you were tryna make a combo

ornate ruin
#

Or does he

thick timber
thick timber
#

thats as far as you can go, 4 hits

#

probably ~16 damage

ornate ruin
ornate ruin
#

Jake has to be at the bottom of the the tier list rn lol

thick timber
#

i have no doubt the devs are working hard and are skilled but if thats true then no way theyre playtesting jake enough

ornate ruin
#

I think the devs are playtesting a whole other game

#

Cus whats up with shaggy still being top 1

muted lance
#

Giving all buffs to a top tier character

ornate ruin
rustic phoenix
#

Horsey or horse she?

thorn zenith
#

yea ive been playing jake for like 3 days now

#

he has no kill potential

#

i gotta get dudes to 160 for a knockout

brittle jackal
#

So uh, small fact... watching JMafia is the sole reason why I never gave up on Jake

thorn zenith
brittle jackal
#

I'm not promoting him but just how he still manage to make him work gave me a confidence boost to push Jake to see if he's truly awful

glad dagger
#

he seems to be playing banana guard more

thorn zenith
#

Tell me what Jake has

brittle jackal
#

Jake has stretchy powers

#

Yes I'm original

thorn zenith
#

glad dagger
#

jake's gimmick is he plays the actual game outside of some cheese

thorn zenith
#

jake is the only honest character

#

well

#

scratch that

#

one of the only honest characters

#

most honest

brittle jackal
#

Jake had cheese but it was removed

#

Now Jake is just... Jake

glad dagger
#

no he's still got it

brittle sphinx
#

what cheese does he have

glad dagger
#

i still cheese people early with up b stuff

brittle sphinx
#

dawg

glad dagger
#

up b up air still exists

brittle sphinx
#

that's like saying u cheese with Jason up special

glad dagger
#

and the bottom of up b kills really early

muted lance
#

No exceptions

brittle jackal
#

I just tend to nair spam as Jake since it's that good. Hey other characters are busted so it's an excuse to spam as jake

glad dagger
#

still has cheese just not the kind that's super easy to hit

#

compared to superman jason iron giant etc

#

i think another problem is jake gets nothing off of dodge jab while how many other characters' whole plan revolves around it

#

wish they would've nerfed it already, jabs were not like this in beta

brittle jackal
#

Agent Smith is aids for Jake omg his attacks beat out his for a dumb reason

brittle sphinx
#

and beetlejuice

#

hes literally so good at counter playing against jake

autumn pond
#

hot take: you can win any matchup with jake if you play well

#

in 2v2s

brittle jackal
#

It's true actually

#

It's just they nerfed evey good thing about Jake

#

Why PFG has something against Jake?

autumn pond
#

because they know the jake mains are too strong

#

if hes not the worst in the game hes the best, but for like 10 players

#

we'd take over the competitive scene

#

yet again

brittle jackal
#

It's like they're activity trying to make him unplayable

brittle sphinx
#

i cant bro im gonna play jake no matter what

#

no other character is as good as jake

glad dagger
#

once they drop marceline i'm out lol

brittle sphinx
#

yeah thats in 54 days

glad dagger
#

maybe the game will be in a better state by then

brittle sphinx
#

how do u even read tech?

#

how do you know which way they will be rolling?

glad dagger
#

kinda same as reading dodges except a bit faster

#

gotta guess what direction they're holding

brittle sphinx
#

so its up to the player to decide which way they are gonna be teched? or does the game automatically tech them to a certain direction

glad dagger
#

you can decide which way to tech yeah

brittle sphinx
#

can u choose to tech and not roll any direction?

glad dagger
#

yeah if you don't hold a direction

brittle sphinx
#

alr well thats good to know

#

i always thought the game automatically teched them to a direction

#

maybe the direction they were facing?

#

thanks

glad dagger
#

ofc

#

its just annoying its automatic

crude reef
crude reef
#

that all leads up to 40+ damage

thorn zenith
glad dagger
#

forgot to mention the true zero to death with blossom

crude reef
#

and they all are strong attacks too

#

only combo jake really has is side atk 1&2 into up atk

#

or down atk

#

unless you’re fighting a morty/arya/people in a low weight class

#

they can dodge out of the down attack for some reason

#

and max damage for the combo is atleast 10-13

brittle sphinx
#

its been a 115 days guys

#

we aint getting justice for jake

#

if they couldnt get jake right in 115 days

#

nothing could possibly help him

autumn pond
#

some whiners fr

thorn zenith
autumn pond
#

make some plays and do it yourself jake's cracked

thorn zenith
#

Make smth shake

#

Jake

autumn pond
#

I can make something shake alright

#

not sure you're ready for it

thorn zenith
#

Those conveniently placed bags of jelly beans?

autumn pond
brittle sphinx
#

jake is not cracked

#

your actually wild for saying he's "cracked"

thorn zenith
autumn pond
#

bunch of jake haters claiming to love the character

#

do better

brittle sphinx
#

dawg

#

are you serious

#

bro is rage baiting

#

how do u "measure" cracked

#

you literally cant pull off any combos on this character unless the enemy is out of dodge meter

#

yeah go enjoy getting slammed around lol

#

bro beat 1 person with stretchy punch to bottom blast zone and cant contain himself

#

"g-g-g-gggggulppppp im so cracked i destroyed this shaggy who just installed the game and has never seen jakes move w-w-w-w-wwooowwwwww god has gifted me wi-w-w-w-wwwithhh so much talent on jake"

autumn pond
#

i beat the #3 and #5 players EASILY earlier as jake bro idk if you're talking about 1's but jake has some unique qualities that no other characters can fill.

brittle sphinx
#

im talking about 1s

autumn pond
#

then yeah jake's washed

brittle sphinx
#

in 2s having a teammate saves this character

autumn pond
#

1's has never been jake's mode even when he was cracked

brittle sphinx
#

even then its much better having a different team mate thank jake

autumn pond
#

maybe when ur in the team

brittle sphinx
#

eventually your enemy will realize hmmmm maybe going inside his upspecial where he will mace me isnt a good idea

crude reef
autumn pond
#

yall act like hes unplayable

brittle sphinx
autumn pond
#

im top 10 jake

brittle sphinx
#

just because hes not unplayable doesnt mean he should be borderline close to being unplayable

crude reef
#

all we’re saying is that jake could be better

autumn pond
#

its not like my opinion is invalid

glad dagger
#

i think i'm gonna hit master then actually play other characters

#

ppg zero to death everyone

brittle sphinx
#

bro wants the character to be unplayable 1st

#

before there could be any comments

#

buff superman on the other hand?

#

yeah all chill bro

crude reef
brittle sphinx
#

jake is cracked

#

dw

crude reef
#

jack release flash backs

autumn pond
autumn pond
#

skateboard was so fun

brittle sphinx
#

bros rage baiting W rage bait

crude reef
glad dagger
#

at least the other newcomers didn't have a combo that kills at 40 lol

brittle sphinx
#

bro has gotta be working for pfg

#

you be seeing superman and morty mains begging for buffs then you got this cornball who thinks he'll get good boy points for saying "well actually jake is cracked 🤓 ☝️ "

#

his nair to nair 2 being a true "combo" if u can even call it a combo is def a good change

glad dagger
#

its funny they'd rather actually buff characters like batman

brave arrow
brittle sphinx
#

i dont think he played the game much

brave arrow
#

jake was like one of the best characters in 1s in beta

#

no one wants him that strong again but just make him fun

glad dagger
#

okay batman is just broken rn

mossy linden
ashen echo
#

wait is that true

#

there's no jake in a top 100 leaderboard?

mossy linden
#

Jmafia is gm on banana guard

ashen echo
autumn pond
#

just because a character's harder to play doesn't mean it's worse.

#

again I'm talking 2v2s

#

y'all are just extremely pessimistic about stuff that doesnt matter

mossy linden
mossy linden
ashen echo
#

''character is cracked'', no one's grandmaster with it

#

lmao

wet flicker
grim terrace
#

yeah man i held top 5 jake for a bit last season

#

and ijust have no desire to play him

#

other characters are just better unfortunately

#

thats why theres no jakes in grandmaster

wooden mango
#

they need to give Jake back his bite

wooden mango
#

if struggle doesn't stop Jason bag toss, struggle shouldnt stop Jake spit

brittle sphinx
#

u better not say nair in to nair 2

#

aight bet spill the beans

#

😂 😂 😭

thorn zenith
#

we have no kill moves

#

like tell me how many of you guys get someone to 160 and they still wont die

glad dagger
#

i feel like its more he struggles to hit than he doesn't have kill moves

#

bro...i almost took a set off the #1 player

thorn zenith
#

good 4 u

leaden axle
#

i like up tilt for kill move.

glad dagger
#

its not even to brag or anything i'm kinda disappointed cause the last game was close

#

but the fact i did it with jake

thorn zenith
glad dagger
#

up tilt you have to hit sweetspot to kill

crude reef
#

up air doesn’t kill over 130 bruh

#

cuz the first part of the move sends them away

#

it’s annoying

glad dagger
#

just jump or dodge and do up air 1 again

leaden axle
thorn zenith
#

i thought he meant air up tilt

#

yeah even then it kills at like 120-130

leaden axle
#

Nah i know that one sometimes doesn’t connect its annoying

#

Idk sometimes you can mind game them and do a fully charged up smash after they try to dodge. But idk i havent been playing ranked so maybe its just worse players. I have been enjoying jake for the little ive played so far after patch. I think hes more fun rn.

thorn zenith
#

you will start to hate him and urself

leaden axle
#

Noted

crude reef
leaden axle
#

Have yall tried the perk that does +1 damaged hitting terrain? I feel like he does way more ground bounces now

crude reef
#

i’m right behind jmafia in ranked

#

#37

glad dagger
crude reef
#

yeah you were right

#

thanks

#

been actually be able to kill

glad dagger
#

np

#

first jake to hit master this season let's go

autumn pond
brittle sphinx
thorn zenith
wet flicker
#

they keep jake down and now they ruined my harley. at least banana guard feels good

safe falcon
#

O javem

#

Whoops

#

I haven't played Jake in a bit but are Cake's lines still bugged?

crude reef
brittle jackal
#

I like using the bounce house perk a bit. It makes his house more fun to use and gives him a small mobility boost

thorn zenith
#

ok ill give you that

autumn pond
thorn zenith
#

should at least kill at 110

autumn pond
#

weight is a huge factor in this game

#

a lot of jake's value comes from the early vertical kills though

thorn zenith
#

like send a clip cuz im actually curious

#

the axe one

autumn pond
#

depends on the map but it happens

#

im telling you not asking you to believe me

thorn zenith
#

i dont believe that the full axe swing kills at 60

#

on a light character

autumn pond
#

definitely at 70

glad dagger
#

if you hit them at the highest of the swing full charge sweetspot it can kill at 60

#

i'd guess not on heavy characters

thorn zenith
autumn pond
thorn zenith
#

Dude it’s like 5 minutes

glad dagger
#

its kind of hard to replicate cause i can't make the cpu go high enough

thorn zenith
#

Wdym

#

Like set the damage to 60 and the character to gizmo

#

That’s it

autumn pond
#

if it doesn't you're bad

thorn zenith
#

8 if you don’t have medal or any type of clipping software

autumn pond
#

i dont

thorn zenith
#

Like I wanna see if that’s true or not and im not at my computer

autumn pond
#

im the #10 jake in the world

thorn zenith
#

And im the 6th

#

Or whatever it was

#

Rank is not relevant rn

autumn pond
#

lmao you're lying

#

6th and you think the axe kills at 130 exclusively

thorn zenith
autumn pond
#

wanna 1v1?

thorn zenith
#

Dude im laying in bed it’s 2 AM

#

I’m not getting out of bed just so you can have ur boastful pride squashed

#

Be humble or whatever

autumn pond
#

you're intolerable

thorn zenith
#

You’re immature

#

Doesn’t matter can we go back to the 60 damage crit axe swing thing

autumn pond
#

yes it happens

thorn zenith
#

Can you like

#

Find a video of it cuz I wanna see that

autumn pond
#

get over it you probably are just bad at timing the axe

thorn zenith
#

Dude im asking for a video not a douche comment

#

Like I’m that “see it to believe it” on this rn

autumn pond
#

you know about the axe dealing like double knockback when it hits the tip right

thorn zenith
#

Idk bout double but it’s more than a normal hit

#

Given the crit swing

autumn pond
#

there you go

glad dagger
#

that was the best i could do

autumn pond
#

is gizmo one of the lightest?

glad dagger
#

think so

#

but the thing is i've hit it on characters that aren't gizmo

thorn zenith
# glad dagger think so

So you’re telling me you gave him weakened, had him above you, and put him on the map infamous for the low knockout ceiling

#

The being above him is fair but like the other two

autumn pond
#

gizmo isnt the lightest lol

#

arya stark is

thorn zenith
#

They both have the same weight

autumn pond
#

i may be looking at an old image

glad dagger
#

again its not easy to replicate i'm not sitting there forever trying to do the right timing

thorn zenith
glad dagger
#

i had to get them into position to put them above me

#

its at the peak of the swing not the lowest point

autumn pond
#

downloading obs

glad dagger
#

hence why i had to get them above me

thorn zenith
#

On the lightest character

autumn pond
#

it's just at the tip of the axe's hitbox

glad dagger
#

i would've tried more but my friend wanted to play

#

i've hit it on t&j

autumn pond
#

im doing it right now

glad dagger
#

shaggy

#

thank you

thorn zenith
#

Now I don’t wanna compare but

#

Shaggy

#

Can kill at 100 with his guaranteed jab jab up special

#

Like almost free every time because it’s so easy to fish for

#

Not saying Jake can do the same, he can

#

But it has to be at 140+

#

Jab jab up tilt

glad dagger
#

why is that relevant

#

the point was jake up tilt can kill at 60 not that shaggy isn't better

thorn zenith
#

Because Jake has to do so much more damage to knock people out and has little to no ko moves (mallet)

glad dagger
#

we weren't talking about that before but you're not wrong

thorn zenith
#

It snowballed into that

#

We went from saying he had no ko moves, we talked about the axe, and now we’re here

glad dagger
#

i just said i hit it on shaggy nothing about shaggy's options

thorn zenith
#

Right

#

Shaggys just bleh to me in general

#

But sticking a pin in that

#

I wanna ask u how do you play Jake

#

Like gimme tips n stuff

glad dagger
#

idk you have to be less predictable, most jakes just spam punch n stuff
no one uses house for some reason

thorn zenith
#

I use it in a pinch

glad dagger
#

every jake wants to go for punch at ledge but don't try to set up into it

That and I have this move called “the snare” where it’s basically if ur opponent is below you, crit punch em and they’ll bounce up to you allowing you to up air

#

It works around 100

glad dagger
#

you can jab at ledge
down b at ledge
up b at ledge

#

go offstage and nair 2

thorn zenith
#

Up b is special right

glad dagger
#

yes

thorn zenith
#

Yea

#

Do you play more grounded or aerial

glad dagger
#

i'd probably say aerial since his ground game kinda sucks

#

even though his air speed isn't great either

thorn zenith
#

Yea I prefer air

#

That’s what I always do

#

Just stay in the air as much as possible

#

Like when you’re about to land do something your opponent wouldn’t expect

#

Dodging up, doing horse, neutral whatever

glad dagger
#

oh yeah you can also go offstage and down b for an edgeguard since the hitbox is active till the end so its not easy to dodge

thorn zenith
#

Yea but if they do

#

Now they’re above you and you’re stuck in whiff frame

#

(Turning back out of the house)

#

It’s like Batman’s down b

glad dagger
#

but worse of course

thorn zenith
#

Yea

#

What about dealing with zoners

glad dagger
#

you can bait people by cancelling it early though ig

#

like projectile characters or

thorn zenith
#

Like

#

Morty syndrome

#

Aka run away the whole time only fishing for dodge jabs and when you’re at a high enough ko percent use a consistent kill move

glad dagger
#

i try to reflect grenades when i can, using them against him is actually pretty

#

fun

#

do your best to play around dirt that move is annoying af

thorn zenith
#

Yea

#

What about zoners in general though

glad dagger
#

so like superman?

#

i think for dodge jabs in general you di and dodge up and away

#

but its an annoyingly small window

thorn zenith
#

Yea

playing around it is tough

thorn zenith

True

jake literally only has punch to catch people from a distance

i hate dodge jab hope they nerf it

#

Up special doesn’t kill anymore unless ur opponent is kissing the upper ring zone or is 160 hp

#

Jake last season was a beast compared to this jake, and we thought last jake was bad

wet flicker
#

So like I do not hate playing as Jake in the current meta. However it does suck feeling neutered compared to last season. The ability to actually fight feels nice but the problem is that I have to work just as hard not or even harder to get the same kills as last season. Definitely even harder compared to before once you learned how to bait people.

crude reef
#

i actually miss jakes nair

#

i hate his new nair

#

making them go downwards

#

before the change i use to bait people by dodging until they use up both of their dodges in the air

#

then follow up with up air 1 then u-special into upair again

#

always killed

#

can’t do that anymore

#

i got some clips that i’ll send later

# autumn pond did they nerf it?

It knocks down now so it can be more consistent for comboing and being true. also I believe knock back was reduced but the first part is for certain

crude reef
#

knock back been reduced too

#

i can’t even kill at 140

glad dagger
#

i miss when sticky was actually sticky

crude reef
#

sticky kinda sucks

#

which is why i don’t use it anymore

#

jake doesn’t have any good perks

#

i mean he doesn’t have anything good so it makes sense

thorn zenith
#

because I'm not fast enough to process I got someone

crude reef
#

but just decided to use the original perk

#

need all the extra damage and defense i could get

thorn zenith
#

just multiply your original damage by 0.05 and add whatever you get

#

so if i did 320 one match

#

320 x 0.05 = 16

#

336

#

actually no wait im thinking about after the fact

#

hold on

crude reef
#

i do NOT know what you’re talking about 😭🙏🗣️

thorn zenith
#

im doing the math hollon lil boi

#

ok so from a fully charged neutral grounded you get 15.6

#

multiply that by 0.05

#

0.78

#

so youre basically getting +1 more damage

#

I can do a sheet comparing with and without it

#

but my hypothesis is when you equip it you're only going to be doing 0.5-1 more damage than before

vital sonnet
#

i left is jake fixed yet

autumn pond
#

sticky is my main source of knockouts

#

prepares up air knockouts effortlessly without sticky jake couldn't kill from 0

Now it was just a pushover :p

thorn zenith
#

Just thought of something, what if Jake could be used as a platform/wall for teammates while doing his up special

#

Helps in 2s

rare owl
#

wait theres so many ways they could rework his up special

#

like what if you stretched into a certain shape and that would trigger a unique attack

#

or you could circle around a teammate to have them wear the jake suit

ashen echo
#

if your ally is knocked out and IS going to die and you stretch behind him before he hits the blast zone it softens slows down his travel BY ALOT

#

it used to be like that

thorn zenith
#

Ooo

#

I like that

#

I didn’t know that either

ashen echo
#

yea i did it alot

#

i was really upset

#

when i tried doing it

#

and saw that nothing happened

thorn zenith
#

But yea I feel like they should do something more with his up special

#

That or the wall/platform thing I proposed

ashen echo
#

oh yea him turning into a platform of some sort for his ally would be crazy too

#

imagine the wombo combo potential for that

#

you kinda turn into an L offstage, your opp fails to climb back, and your ally uses you as a ground to spike them

#

insane sh*t

willow lance

They need to rework Jake atleast give him priority in exchanges like in 1’s Jake’s almost unplayable

It also depends on how big they are

Last szn the bite on iron giants was so broken I loved it

crude reef
crude reef

that’s what i’m sayin

only said it was bad cuz it didn’t really kill off top without sticky

#

i’ve been using it wrong

#

oops

#

also good for usp into upair

#

if you release it the moment they are stunned

#

could’ve died at probably like 50 if they didn’t need the knock back to the second move of up air

crude reef
#

there’s another good way to cheese with bite for a early ko

#

been out since s2

#

bite then walk of edge and aim to the wall

#

gotta be close to it

#

aim it down

#

hopefully they get hit by the wall twice

the sair downwards

ez knockout

idk if yall knew this already

jovial mesa

does anyone here know how to do that one hammer move in mid air? been wondering how to do it for a while now

serene lion
jovial mesa
serene lion

but u can’t jump/dodge/touch the ground after neutral air or you’ll bite

thorn zenith
#

jake is like kirby in melee

#

i cant do squat today idk why

#

what i find crazy is that most of the cast has a consistent jab into kill confirm around the 120 mark

#

shaggys is roughly around 100, batmans is near 120, yet jake

#

jakes is near 150

#

im testing these on shaggy npcs so

#

another problem i found about jake is that his "kill moves" are basically just a pray-you-hit-it move

#

his axe is what im mentioning

#

a lot of his moves that kill need to be fully charged to hit, meanwhile youll have characters like superman charge up for one second and it sends you to the stratosphere at 110

#

i understand its superman but the fact he gets armor in 0.2 seconds into charging his up smash

glad dagger
#

i just don't get why you can dodge out of jake's jab after the first hit so easily

thorn zenith
#

im more upset about how his kill moves have to be fully charged in order to kill

#

which leads to having people being built up to 160 until they finally get knocked out by the horse

#

it also doesnt help that everyones up air (essentially) knocks everyone significantly upwards in one fell swoop

#

and then theres jakes mace just barely knocking your opponent out of reach for the second hit

#

some might say "oh then the first hit shouldnt have hit" dude have you seen bugs back end of the bat

glad dagger
#

the best thing to do for up air is to just up air 1 again
which we kinda shouldn't have to do but i guess they don't want it to be consistent

crude reef
thorn zenith
crude reef
#

plus shaggy sair not fully charged has so much knockback for no reason

#

can literally kill at 70 if you’re at one side of the map

#

plus his ground n attack

#

also has so much knockback

#

and armor

#

it’s like they love making this characters op for no reason

#

while nerfing all the characters that’s desperately needs buffs

thorn zenith
#

like we dont have any consistent kill moves

glad dagger
#

jake only gets to kill early off of a punch spike and that's like
heavily read based

#

doesn't help that for some reason you can dodge a charged move before its even fully out

crude reef
#

gotta do something with jake’s hurtbox too

#

i literally died at 19 to a fully charged garnet nattack

#

because i tried hitting a sair and missed

thorn zenith
#

and it doesnt help that every single character in this game fishes for jabs because they have no aerial game

#

its sad

crude reef
#

jabs are the real combo starters

#

and most have annoying jab combos

#

rick, agent smith, superman, ppg

#

list goes on tbh

#

got like 3-6 hit combos that could do around 20-50 damage

#

while jake still lacks in all of that

bleak kettle
# short saddle We simply don’t have the frame data or tools to assert our pressure in a threate...

They nerfed the escape time on bite and removed jump so we lost alot of our early kill opportunities while Batman has weaken on Batarang, upair and can run the weakened perks.

Upair follow up got nerfed with less knock back so maps like Dexter's lab beecome a chore to kill and sometines upair into up special won't be enough.

Oh but we got a buff in Neutral attck more knockback on uncharged!!!

....but they made it more laggy and we can't dodge out of it until like 8 frames....

#

Jake was a roll the dice character imo for the opponent in S2.

If you dodged wrong in a certain scenario Jake put you in, you could die.

If he chomped you then spit you up and you dodged wrong he'd upspecial into up air for a kill.

bitter anvil

Just remove his ass from the game if you want to keep nerfing a bottom 3 character

really gotta add jumping back to bite cuz bite little sucks now

short saddle
# worthy lion it’s so stupid, like I feel so much weaker playing Jake

That’s the appeal of his character as of now, the underdog. In the beta, he had movement and combo tools that quite literally broke the game and had a serious chance of representing this competitive scene as a mess. His moves and overall design has core game physics issues, to the point that the devs need to make sure he is knit picked with detail and held back for now. It’s a good decision on the devs to cater Jake to a more hardcore player base that are ok with losing a lot, it’s so they can know more on what to tune

#

Some characters gotta be weak and Jake was chosen for being too weird, I’m just happy all of the rest of the cast is quite balanced makes this game super random

brittle jackal
#

Bad rework idea but instead of his mace swing, Jake's neutral attack acts similar to his fair

#

Jake essentially uses fair 24/7 so changing his neutral attack might work

#

or you know make his mace swing and his split kick extend his limbs, the PPG are essentially what Jake wants to be in terms of normals

crude reef
brittle sphinx
#

jakes only saving grace

#

is most people dont fight him

#

and sometimes when they go up agains a jake

#

they have no clue what to do

and they fall for the most obvious trap of all time

#

in up special

#

now obviously that isnt gonna work against better players

Proposed buffs

#
  • Make Jake’s short up tilt stronger, because it’s meant to be a kill move. It can be balanced weakening the move the more it goes out, which gives it more range over power.
  • Make the first upair do less knockback, which can make the second upair more meaningful and register easier.
  • Bring back jumping for bite, but make spitting out more horizontal.
  • Make Jake’s jab longer, giving him more grounded gameplay.
  • Decrease recovery frames on Jake’s skateboard, not enough to punish but enough to give Jake a chance at dodging a punish.
glad dagger
#

why would they ever do that to up tilt lmao

crude reef
#

they gotta fix jake’s stupid jab

#

i’m literally having people dodge out of the second jab

thorn zenith
#

Minus low ceilings

#

You could just swap out my proposition with like a just increase the knockback power or whatever idc I’m tired

glad dagger
#

the way it kills really depends on where your opponent is
if they're grounded its not that likely to kill unless its full charged
if they're in the air it kills pretty reliably at 100+

thorn zenith
#

Most of the time they’re going to be playing grounded

Same with sniper punch, if you tipper more damage and knock back

nerfing up air for no reason

removing jump after bite for no reason

adding teaching so skateboarding into bite is not true anymore

and all his moves are still so damn slow

but hey add a new move for batman and let him be able to do a 7 hit combo easily

while jake out here having no combos at all

you literally can’t kill with it unless the top zone is short and they are atleast at 120 damage
