#Jake The Dog
1 messages · Page 10 of 1
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?
I’m sure bite spamming and bite suicide got removed in season 2. For me, suicides would only kill me last season
Removing the ability to jump is crazy. Especially in 2v2s when I eat one of them and I normally jump to avoid their teammates attack but oh well
idk why they made him so reliant on nair stretchy punch and bite
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
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
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
That's why I've moved to Beetlejuice and Jason and Banana Guard lol
It's over for this character
only reason why i main jake is because his moves are actually fun
literally anytime i use a different character i find it boring
his moves are fun but they gutted him so badly now that i just cant
it's impossible
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
it’s really sad tbh
i was a bugs main back in the beta and started using him when the game came back
his kill potential was already garbage since the game's release, so much so that you had to do early kills, such as bite spam off stage and upair into top blast zone
i used jake once in the beta but i thought he was lame
and then they take out his only moves that had early kill potential
and they gave nothing in return
i randomly used him one day around s1 and realized how fun his moves were but he was still very weak
exactly all jake had was cheesing his way to victory
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
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
they can be kissing the top blast zone at 40 percent, if u land both uppair's it wont kill regardless
that's how sh*t his uppair is rn
and his horse too
completely garbage
only hits once for some reason
and it still doesn’t hit anyone
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
that’s if they’re not too high
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
yea it feels like they did it on purpose lmao
just so u cant land second uppair
it will shove them so up high that u cant land it
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
well thanks to the weird ass nair they changed now
and teching added to the game so no follow ups
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
yeah i tried that but teching still exist
and his moves are way too slow to try and read them
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
they panick if you land skateboard offstage on them
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
oh yea when they dodge out of the way u just fall down
yep
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
well last season
i did skateboard into stretchy into uppair
it killed
i clipped it as well
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 😭🙏
does jake still not have a single combo to his name chat⁉️
They got rid of the cool skateboard super jump
If you're not a Reindog then PFG doesn't like your dog
they removed all of them and made nair a combo starter off floor bounce
Why does he have a combo starter but no combos lol
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
Nair + air down , bite , air side, the only moves a gm jake uses
Pfg really has to rework this guy cause where are his combos bruhv
He’s still good in my opinion buddy
I'd love to have whatever you're on
Ur 62% wr says differently buddy

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
lol what?
u really went to my profile?
you said jake is still "really good" and he checked your stats
U got 2k other views is there an issue? U said jake is good when he’s not ur probably just looking for attention lol
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
fr
they really nerfed it to 1150
that’s not gonna kill at all
nair in to nair 2
lol
this character is done
how every update has made him progressively worse is beyond me
triple skateboard if they don’t dodge out of it in the first hit 😭
funny how they say they will find a way to make him better
just to make him worse every patch
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
even if they do roll they can just spam dodge again
really no point in using skateboard unless you cancel the third hit
i don't think its bad that you have to read the tech tbh
even if the ground bounce combo was better
sure its not bad but for a character thats already suffering of having to work 10x harder than your enemy
this is just yet another part to it
geniunely insane
rip my boy
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
fr
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
should at least be able to get one ground bounce before they tech the third hit of dair
why else would they have them try out unreleased characters
fr like how do they look at top 8s being mostly ww and think she's fine lol
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
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
the funniest thing is despite any change jake gets i still cheese people really early with up b
Worse at cheesing, he is better at fighting if you are looking for that
Still a mid tier but he is not that bad tbh
He still need buffs
Definitely low tier
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)
They tech out of dair
O i thought you were tryna make a combo
He doesnt have any lol
Or does he
id argue it was lowkey strong just a lil hard to hit
nair bounce to dair
thats as far as you can go, 4 hits
probably ~16 damage
How much damage
😭
Jake has to be at the bottom of the the tier list rn lol
i have no doubt the devs are working hard and are skilled but if thats true then no way theyre playtesting jake enough
I think the devs are playtesting a whole other game
Cus whats up with shaggy still being top 1
Giving all buffs to a top tier character
Top chars didnt get any buffs but no nerfs either
Horsey or horse she?
yea ive been playing jake for like 3 days now
he has no kill potential
i gotta get dudes to 160 for a knockout
So uh, small fact... watching JMafia is the sole reason why I never gave up on Jake
I would love to know how JMafia took this update
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
he seems to be playing banana guard more
Tell me what Jake has
- Agent Smith got an infinite loop
- Ayra doesn't even need to be mentioned
- Banana Guard absurd arial game
- Batman has a consistent combo that can get to 50
- Beetlejuice is exempt
- Black Adam has an absurd ladder
- Bugs neutral air need i say more
- Finn. Just Finn.
- Garnet's neutral air combos into jabs, which can move into airals
- Gizmo.
- Harley Quinn is exempt
- Iron Giant has a new loop
- Jason is exempt
- Lebron has batman syndrome (combos that lead to 50)
- Marvin has 72 different guns
- Morty neutral projectile into side special into up arial
- Reindog might as well be in a sniper tower with how far away he wants to be
- Rick relies only on his jab
- Jack has his jab and side special
- Shaggy. Nothing said.
- Steven is exempt
- Stripes stupid gun
- Supermans up smash gets armor almost intant
- Taz's Tornado Sandwich Dogpile special
- Joker's rng card
- no opinon on pfg yet
- tom slinging jerry 24/7 and playing paddleball
- Velma is exempt
- Wonder Woman's armor and lasso spam
jake's gimmick is he plays the actual game outside of some cheese
jake is the only honest character
well
scratch that
one of the only honest characters
most honest
no he's still got it
what cheese does he have
i still cheese people early with up b stuff
dawg
up b up air still exists
that's like saying u cheese with Jason up special
and the bottom of up b kills really early
If you play Jake then you are royalty in this server, even if you have the skill level of a baby.
No exceptions
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
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
What cheese
Agent Smith is aids for Jake omg his attacks beat out his for a dumb reason
It's true actually
It's just they nerfed evey good thing about Jake
Why PFG has something against Jake?
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
It's like they're activity trying to make him unplayable
i cant bro im gonna play jake no matter what
no other character is as good as jake
once they drop marceline i'm out lol
yeah thats in 54 days
maybe the game will be in a better state by then
kinda same as reading dodges except a bit faster
gotta guess what direction they're holding
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
you can decide which way to tech yeah
can u choose to tech and not roll any direction?
yeah if you don't hold a direction
alr well thats good to know
i always thought the game automatically teched them to a direction
maybe the direction they were facing?
thanks
that’s not gonna work due to teching
ppg side attack into down attack into nair ect
that all leads up to 40+ damage
It’s like why does every other character have combos that go to 40 and Jake falls flat
forgot to mention the true zero to death with blossom
that’s what i’m saying
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
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
some whiners fr
Make a montage and make us prideful again
make some plays and do it yourself jake's cracked
Nah I believe in you
Make smth shake
Jake
Those conveniently placed bags of jelly beans?
brother what
Look over there
maybe you're not "cracked"
bunch of jake haters claiming to love the character
do better
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"
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.
im talking about 1s
then yeah jake's washed
in 2s having a teammate saves this character
1's has never been jake's mode even when he was cracked
even then its much better having a different team mate thank jake
maybe when ur in the team
eventually your enemy will realize hmmmm maybe going inside his upspecial where he will mace me isnt a good idea
just because you beat top players doesn’t mean that jake is busted
means hes viable
yall act like hes unplayable
cant tell if ur rage baiting or not and im not a cornball whose gonna say "well i hit masters so ik what im talking abt 🤓 "
im top 10 jake
just because hes not unplayable doesnt mean he should be borderline close to being unplayable
all we’re saying is that jake could be better
its not like my opinion is invalid
i think i'm gonna hit master then actually play other characters
ppg zero to death everyone
bro wants the character to be unplayable 1st
before there could be any comments
buff superman on the other hand?
yeah all chill bro
they always release new characters and make them broken
jack release flash backs
facts
bros rage baiting W rage bait
i mean samurai jack
at least the other newcomers didn't have a combo that kills at 40 lol
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
its funny they'd rather actually buff characters like batman
not true lmao
i dont think he played the game much
jake was like one of the best characters in 1s in beta
no one wants him that strong again but just make him fun
okay batman is just broken rn
Jake is cracked? There isn’t a single jake in any top 100 leaderboards lmao u rly need attention that much? Just because u won a couple games, doesn’t mean Jake is a beast
there's no way
hard to believe that there's no jakes at all between those 100 players
Check for yourself
lol thats because none of the best jake players are grinding. There are only a few that know how to play the character. also any idiot can pick up harley quinn shaggy or samurai jack and get into grandmasters
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
If jake was a cracked character as you said then the best jake players would be grinding him. Also if he was cracked any idiot can pick him up and get into gm. But he’s not
I mean he’s rated a medium difficulty
its funny how his own argument fails him
''character is cracked'', no one's grandmaster with it
lmao
It's too good man! Lol
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
they need to give Jake back his bite
if struggle doesn't stop Jason bag toss, struggle shouldnt stop Jake spit
we have no kill moves
like tell me how many of you guys get someone to 160 and they still wont die
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
good 4 u
i like up tilt for kill move.
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
and how many times did the first tilt screw up the second tilt
up tilt you have to hit sweetspot to kill
up air doesn’t kill over 130 bruh
cuz the first part of the move sends them away
it’s annoying
just jump or dodge and do up air 1 again
Up smash? The axe swing thing
ohhhhh
i thought he meant air up tilt
yeah even then it kills at like 120-130
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.
yea, please dont bring him into ranked
you will start to hate him and urself
Noted
does that actually work?
Have yall tried the perk that does +1 damaged hitting terrain? I feel like he does way more ground bounces now
yes if you feel like the second hit of up air won't connect do that or go for up b
gg
im #10
yeah hes on banana man
Congrats
lol
they keep jake down and now they ruined my harley. at least banana guard feels good
hacker
I like using the bounce house perk a bit. It makes his house more fun to use and gives him a small mobility boost
ok ill give you that
main kill move is the stretch, axe is also great
the thing kills at 130
should at least kill at 110
kills any light character at 60 lol
weight is a huge factor in this game
a lot of jake's value comes from the early vertical kills though
show
like send a clip cuz im actually curious
the axe one
definitely at 70
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
send a clip of it in training mode cuz i actually wanna see that
nobody has the time for that
Dude it’s like 5 minutes
its kind of hard to replicate cause i can't make the cpu go high enough
if you play jake long enough it'll happen
if it doesn't you're bad
Dude im just asking for a clip that’ll take you five minutes to do
8 if you don’t have medal or any type of clipping software
i dont
Like I wanna see if that’s true or not and im not at my computer
im the #10 jake in the world
Check the rank if you want idc
wanna 1v1?
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
you're intolerable
You’re immature
Doesn’t matter can we go back to the 60 damage crit axe swing thing
yes it happens
get over it you probably are just bad at timing the axe
Dude im asking for a video not a douche comment
Like I’m that “see it to believe it” on this rn
you know about the axe dealing like double knockback when it hits the tip right
there you go
is gizmo one of the lightest?
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
They both have the same weight
i may be looking at an old image
again its not easy to replicate i'm not sitting there forever trying to do the right timing
You know you can set them to idle right
i had to get them into position to put them above me
its at the peak of the swing not the lowest point
downloading obs
hence why i had to get them above me
Ok so the axe at the peak of the swing fully charged and crit is a certified kill at 60
On the lightest character
it's just at the tip of the axe's hitbox
im doing it right now
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
why is that relevant
the point was jake up tilt can kill at 60 not that shaggy isn't better
Because Jake has to do so much more damage to knock people out and has little to no ko moves (mallet)
we weren't talking about that before but you're not wrong
It snowballed into that
We went from saying he had no ko moves, we talked about the axe, and now we’re here
i just said i hit it on shaggy nothing about shaggy's options
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
idk you have to be less predictable, most jakes just spam punch n stuff
no one uses house for some reason
I use it in a pinch
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
Up b is special right
yes
i'd probably say aerial since his ground game kinda sucks
even though his air speed isn't great either
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
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
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
but worse of course
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
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
These dudes in general
so like superman?
i think for dodge jabs in general you di and dodge up and away
but its an annoyingly small window
Yea
playing around it is tough
True
jake literally only has punch to catch people from a distance
Mhm
Nah dude, I hit a morty with sair (terrain up knock back), both nair, up special then both uair and he survived
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
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.
that’s what i’m saying
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
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
wdym knocks down
direction
skateboard is actually usable now
yea i dont need it now cuz im not in bed
so self righteous
Thanks
it only knocks down if they are below your buns are hit the side if you’re already stretching
unless you have sticky equipped
then it should send them whatever direction you’re going
idk if you guys are talking about up b or nair
the axe
i miss when sticky was actually sticky
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
sticky just lets me hit more stuff like in #clips message
because I'm not fast enough to process I got someone
i use sticky for the same reason also
but just decided to use the original perk
need all the extra damage and defense i could get
yknow, you can actually calculate how much extra damage youre doing
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
i do NOT know what you’re talking about 😭🙏🗣️
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
i left is jake fixed yet
sticky is the only reason jake is good, it's literally a kill confirm
sticky is my main source of knockouts
prepares up air knockouts effortlessly without sticky jake couldn't kill from 0
On the edge, you can kill anyone at any health if you up special with sticky and they touch ur bottom/ legs. It just stuns them down into the ringout
well yeah but 5% isnt worth it and bounce house isnt worth it whats the alternative, sticky is best for setups
After a full week of playing I can say Jake in twos is still pretty cracked, but in ones you are fighting an up hill battle still very doable but almost have to be a god at reading opponents
I’m the fifth Jake to crack masters
And I gotta say
It was easier than before????
I really don’t know what to think of Jake rn idk if he’s good or bad
Probably because you started on plat
Like if you just win you get to masters so fast tbh
Same, my win rate on jake this season is much higher than previous seasons
Nah cuz like when getting to masters I struggled hard at diamond I
Now it was just a pushover :p
Just thought of something, what if Jake could be used as a platform/wall for teammates while doing his up special
Helps in 2s
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
he used to save his allies in two's with his stretch
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
yea i did it alot
i was really upset
when i tried doing it
and saw that nothing happened
But yea I feel like they should do something more with his up special
That or the wall/platform thing I proposed
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
He’s not bad but bro it’s so hard to win in ranked with him this szn he has little to no priority in hits
They need to rework Jake atleast give him priority in exchanges like in 1’s Jake’s almost unplayable
How can an ordinary girl like Velma be so much better than a dog with stretchy superpowers who has gone on countless adventures fighting thousands of demonic and ediritch beings
Buff Jake 💔 I wanna go back to using my main
maybe something
but this only works if they di wrong
and if u have jumps
and then its a 50/50
I think that only works on tanks
Last szn the bite on iron giants was so broken I loved it
that jason just loves to di into the same moves
that’s what i’m sayin
i’ve underestimated sticky
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
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
just sayin
does anyone here know how to do that one hammer move in mid air? been wondering how to do it for a while now
Press the bite button after neutral air
ok
but u can’t jump/dodge/touch the ground after neutral air or you’ll bite
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
i just don't get why you can dodge out of jake's jab after the first hit so easily
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
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
the fact the he literally got armor on most of his moves is infuriating
ive been trying that and it just happens again
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
like we dont have any consistent kill moves
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
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
and it doesnt help that every single character in this game fishes for jabs because they have no aerial game
its sad
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
he wouldn't if he wasn't so slow
yeah never play jake in 1's, in 2's he's s tier
axe into stretch up air
kills at 0
oh yeah i forgot to mention up b
they gotta buff jake armor when biting teammates
it’s too short
last for a second
gotta be like ww
i feel like even before it was nerfed your teammate would lose it instantly
i'm feeling the skateboard buff ngl
what skateboard buff lol
What buff?
Me too
Sameee
read the jake patch notes
● Air Down Attack
○ + Now allows fast fall during attack start-up
○ - Now maintains less momentum in the direction opposite Jake’s facing during the attack
○ + Start-up window reduced 2 frames
○ * Fixed an issue where Jake would not always hop on-hit
aight bet
Hey Jake mains how are the buffs and nerfs and is this patch a positive or negative change?
kinda both positive and negative
unable to jump after biting is negative
and nerfing upair
but some moves feel a lil better now
but jake still needs a lil more buffs tbh
Positive for movement, negative for combos, he still needs A LOT of buffs and it's by far the hardest character to make it work against top tiers
Or against better players in general
top 16 jake rn let’s go
Hey guys I cant seem to do the mallet spin
Just do nair then buffer a neutral special and it should work
Thanks!
Buffer?
just do neutral air then neutral special lol
jake in diamond rank is literally hell
literally fighting against people in A and S tier with 50 damage combos off of 3 moves
ppg for example
and i rarely get any rp
literally every single move is slow for jake
and his horse literally hits once for no reason
so if they dodge you can’t hit them again while you’re still in it
bs
hello fellow JJake mains
jake still trash right?
makes 0 sense
It's because they alot of his moves more laggier this patch. Like they sped up neutral attack but on whiff it's cancel window is delayed by 8 frames!?
Like awha?
I hate that the kill moves from before aren't reliable anymore. Most characters have that easy go to. Not us, our better one maybe the second upair but that's not reliable anymore and hard to land
We basically gotta run weakened perks to make it feel reliable. Frankly our best kill tool now is upair into up special
Jake is the Twelve of MVS. If you played 3rd strike you can see some similarities in their gameplan
Mmm which ones you running? I love playing as Jake but I just hate the feel of him and maybe those perks will help.
Press the advantage. Most of the time we get them, literally at 125 and over and it kinda works with bite
@wet flicker
has any1 here bought the jake 85th skin
if so does horse wear the mask
and house
Nope.
How does everyone play Jake? What's your playstyle?
I play Jake more like a whiff punisher. Using Nair and up air to keep me floating and moving and then punish accordingly. Get the frustrated and punish being to aggressive
i play jake using hopes and prayers that my opponent's controller disconnects
Highly aggressive never using jab or dair
Lol
Lmao
So is there any meta defining tech for Jake that I’m not aware about? Cause idk if it’s just me but Jake has actually gotten to an unplayable tier
nope hes unplayable in 1s and 2s. it sucks
I mean he's playable but we're working alot harder and hoping alot of our moves kill
yeah thats kinda what i meant, i classify it as unplayable for me as its a dreadful play style having to hope the enemy just doesnt predict my attack.
I mean I use Jake's floaty normals to stay airborne and whiff punish. Though I'm basically sweating and coming up short even playing perfect lol
unplayable in ranked, I just dominate unranked lobbies tbh
Is this a ip grabber or hacking link? It says youtu.be instead of youtube.
@bleak kettle
nvm
It's just Jake doing his dance.
If you are relying on outplaying you opponent in every scenario including advantage state to get damage and relying on will power and defensive estimations with probabilities that are not in your favour, to get kills. Then the character quite literally becomes unusable at higher tiers of play no matter of the level of skill or optimal attack routes
We simply don’t have the frame data or tools to assert our pressure in a threatening way without just straight up being the better player by a significant margin
which is literally why it’s so hard to get him into masters and up
when you got literally every other character having good attacks and combos that are reliable
jake just lacks in all of that
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.
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
don’t even know why it needed to be removed in the first place
unless they are really trying to nerf all his kill potential
It's not just that they lowered the escape time too.
I don’t get the idea of them nerfing Jake so hard like this, this is crazy
it’s so stupid, like I feel so much weaker playing Jake
down attack is fine but everything else now just sucks besides side attack and nair
If you lose to a Jake it's time to hang up the towel
we really need beta skateboard back
skateboard offstage is unreliable
don’t know why i’m hopping up after hitting them once then try to hit them again
they dodge out of the move
even happens on stage too
What they need to do is let tech happen on the third bounce and not second
That'll fix skateboard
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
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
“that’s not ridiculous, that’s not ridiculous to say that”
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
Yeaa literally
Fr, his legs should stretch out further on splits kick
Yea alot of players don't know how to fight Jake cause he's not seen often.
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.
why would they ever do that to up tilt lmao
they gotta fix jake’s stupid jab
i’m literally having people dodge out of the second jab
Because jake even when having a fully charged axe swing doesn’t kill at high percents
Minus low ceilings
You could just swap out my proposition with like a just increase the knockback power or whatever idc I’m tired
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+
And that’s the problem
Most of the time they’re going to be playing grounded
Bruh it’s not about if the opponent is grounded or not, it’s if you tipper the attack or not
Same with sniper punch, if you tipper more damage and knock back
its both in jake's case
Got the new Jake batman mask and he does not keep it turning into house or horse
So lame
Yeah a lot of the skins have little effort put into them
it is a uncommon skin after all
we got randy butternubs i think we're good
and cake but the legendary skins are messed up rn
gotta love the fact Jake has less air momentum on dair 😦
What do you mean
the skins with different voicelines will have the original characters' noises when hit or ko'd
for example with cake it'll play jake's sounds
i hate pfg
if jake is already bottom 3 what is the point of nerfing his only good moves
are they slow?
I am plat 3 and have never hit diamond, I play with someone who is also plat. Can anyone tell me why I’m being matched up against masters or even grandmasters in some matches?
The MMR is just bad
Just comepletly bad.
I'm in gold getting matched up with Plat's and Grandmasters
games dead
the fact they could've had the player escape faster if jake jumped off the map
no let's cut jake chomp time significantly in half lol
and let’s remove the ability to jump for no whatsoever reason
i’m tell you they are nerfing all his kill moves on purpose
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
i think they are nerfing bite because it was annoying to play against but they dont give him anything in return
while jake out here having no combos at all
reducing the time when spamming it was good and all
but not being able to jump is stupid
you literally can’t kill with it unless the top zone is short and they are atleast at 120 damage
they dont want him to be able to kill at low percents which is why they removed it
same reason they reduced the time as well
yeah but it only killed around 100 when jumping
u could combo into a kill at low percents
plus you can only use bite like once every 20 seconds
if they are nerfing bite this much they just need to give him a new move and buff the rest of his kit
i agree with this so much
the amount of times i keep dying because of the stupid thing they added
most of the time i’m not tryna ring myself out with the new bite
the moment i’m boutta spit them out they literally get out of it then i die instead
especially with that new map they added
think it’s called theatre i forgot
but the background is full of stripes
the bottom blastzone is so close
i literally can’t use bite off stage
? That’s the best map for jake bites u can kill at any health by catching them whilst ur on one of the platforms on the edge in 2s only tho
True jake was able to kill off chomp super reliably but outright gutting the move was quite harsh
They could've just shortened the escape time on the second chomp if done in succession
Pickle is right you could go for the double bite high low or go for up special and try to push them to the blast zone or bait a dodge and use Up special to kill them with up air
real i think there was more option than removing jump with it
you can near side but even then
you don’t
Feels 50 / 50 with Velma for the worst character in the game but at least Velma has something
And probably more simple to understand than Jake
Have they STILL not fixed him
velma is not the worst character lol
jake almost certainly is besides maybe banana guard but atleast banana guard has something going for it
What about those people that say that Jake is balanced? Hmmmm?!?!?
they know they lying
probably the same people to play ww or batman and say they are not broken
bro thats what im saying that boy mustynobody hes so elegant with his jake
bro i literally earned 7 rp after beating someone in the same rank as me
wtf actually
no way
i’m only getting 7 rp after every win wtf
https://fixupx.com/ajax_hq/status/1843795069117305082?s=46&t=knLA4k9QJU7_Bjcg-wDGQQ probably has something to do with it
i don’t understand
so i’m gaining rp based on the skill of my opponent?
3 different games and won all of them but only got 7 rp for each
annoying
i kept getting 40 rp per match for some reason
easiest master 1 of my life
another 7 rp bro..🤦♂️
would’ve gotten out of diamond 3 by now
keep matching me with golds and plat
but even when i’m in the same rank it’s still 7
another 7
i’m done bruh
why am i the only one getting screwed up with garbage rp
is it safe to be jake again?
N O
Until they buff him, pray for a buff on mid season patch fr
yeah its a new change
then how come i’m getting 7 for every win but lose 19
I wish you luck in your ladder climb CJ.
I'm hard gatekept in gold by master rank players as a gold lol
We should make a new server for jake mains
The current jake server "updog" is dead and the people there are all just old beta players who've quit
i saw a video of someone who went against the current #1 jake player and can i just say his gameplay is so weird
A rick player right?
I seen that too
I was wondering if that guy was trolling
ikr i was genuinely so confused
Do you stream btw?
Im starved for pro jake gameplay
nah i don't
i can give tips though ig, or if anyone wants to 1v1 for some insight n stuff i'd be down
tbh i don't even think i deserve #3 jake
i wish mustynobody still streamed i wanna know how he does it
Bhands yea
That’s what Jake has to do
Play so stupid it bamboozles the enemy
most jakes are kinda obvious when they try to edgeguard, that guy included
kept going for the same stuff
Jake doesn't have too much options for edge guarding imo
he does you just have to be creative like any character
granted they're not the best cause he sucks but i think at this point everyone knows jake wants punch at ledge
and it is most likely his best option but you can't expect to raw punch and get it for free y'know
I sometimes do Mace at the ledge if they close to the top or try to dodge past me
IGN?
Where
my ign is my server nickname
I added
