His neutral special in air is so hard to hit with
I think it's funny that you can finish certain nodes based on the variant in the rifts.
Huh?
Is great, yeah, but I land the vertical combos way more often
With WW I used her evil variant to get the Villanous win condition completed on some nodes in the rifts
There’s no reason for it to have as slow startup as it currently has
Up basic into up special into a charged axe 🤤
Ah cool
I think I just used Jason for those rifts
Also there should be I frames when exiting teleport
I got the battle pass for free thank god
I think it's meant to be punishable.
Same. And thank god I got to keep the characters I unlocked in the beta
I think it's stupid
I didn't 😭
Did you use the same account?
Didn't have Finn or Jake 😢
Yessir
Oof
How else would I have gotten the bp
To be fair, it wouldn't hurt adding I frames to the teleport since he can't attack right after it, keeping him at a neither advantageous nor disadvantage state.
Actually, idk if I bought Finn or just used him while he was free, but I don’t have him unlocked either
I think he can act immediately if he’s grounded
Only if the tp hits
I thought I’ve seen it without the TP hitting too
Are there any other Jason players who would happily use a perk / trade off that made neutral special do more damage, at the expense of being able to throw an attack out with the grey health still applied?
That would instantly be his best perk
Being able to give yourself armor for up to 20 damage without it going away on whiff would be crazy
And he also gets a massive speed boost
Honestly if unstoppable rage lasted more than one attack it would be amazing. Id love that, id seriously think of getting rid of the Teleports Behind you perk for that
I think the way it works now is just a little incongruous with the rest of his moveset
Like, I get the idea in theory, give him that to wade through spam / disjoints to get a hit in
It’s just, from the time I’ve spent playing Jason… you’re almost always gonna prefer to have a hitbox in front of you to do that
It actually sucks so bad because half the time you just teleport in front of the dude waiting to get hammered
Like, the second Jason doesn’t have a machete or axe or sleeping bag hitbox in front of himself, is the second people are going to run in and try to make him combo food (which… usually has a pretty good shot of working)
One issue I have is with his flurry it to get a character out of a charge up the attack has to hit twice
It's just bs in my opinion
And I still don't understand the priority system
Like when 2 attacks hit and one takes priority over the other
Yeah, it needs I frames or dodge frames.
The opening being punishable is fine because it can hit with knockback, but the exit being the equal of standing still for half a second next to the opponent is just bad
It'll get fixed (I hope)
Because if player first wants this game to stay alive all of the decisions they make need to be 100% backed by the community
Jason's throw is so visceral I love it
I love how Jason doesn't feel like, censored
like there is no blood of course, but the sound design is still plenty brutal
Honestly, the way I’ve been describing it, and it’s the biggest compliment I can give to this design
If we ever got a Jason Voorhees cameo in an official Looney Tunes / Tom and Jerry short, this feels like what he’d be like in that short
He fits the vibe of
Big
Menacing
Evil
And mysterious
Glad he's not too cartoony
speaking of cartoony, been tempted to grab the tooniverse skin for jason, not many other skins I have my eye on
Side ground throw or air throw?
grounded up, jab 3, neutral air special, grounded down
so many grabs to choose from pft
The choke throw
I want the green one of him from the battle pass but leveling up is so slow and I don't wanna sit on multiversus for 2 hours trading wins
1 I don't have time for that and 2 it gets really boring without friends
Fair lol
I get 2 ranks every day. Well, more like 1.5, so, 3 ranks every 2 days XD
I'm on track, Jason X here I come~
Yeah, I love how it has a pause. If it hit two characters at once it would be peak. The number of times where I hit both opponents with Fear the 13th only to grab only one and get hit by the other or at least, watch them escape... Ugh.
I missed a couple days for battlepass stuff cus of crashing issues, but I fixed them so I'm hopefully still on track
but thats also the thing, I don't see myself using uber jason but I do want to get it, and I dunno if I want to use matrix jason but I also want to to get it, tooniverse seems right up my alley but I also want to save my glemium
choices choices
Stabby stab stab love the air grab when it connects.
Could use a bit more range. I know it's a grab but it feels like I can watch Jason caress the opponent and not land it
I feel that so often
like I'll do the axe grab and it goes right through the person, no "dodged" text, somehow it missed
Feel like you're about to show them why there's No Escape and then no, apparently Jason was just golfing with an axe, wasn't trying to hit them, even though by all rights the axe should have chopped off a leg
Also, the number of times I've hit Harley's leg with the Up grab or the Axe Smash, and only the Axe touches her, and had us both get hit is annoying.
Hes pretty buns bro
Just say your not good with him and go back to playing bugs or Harley I don't care but don't you bad mouth my son
Jason slander is not tolerated in this household
my results are pretty back and fourth with jason
I haven't had a bad match in awhile
I will say that he does poorly against a couple characters that doesn't inherently make him a bad character by any stretch of the means
I mean naturally anyone is gonna lose against WW pft
just break her armor and then you don't lose
if only it was that easy
there's a perk for that
2fast2block makes your dash break armor with your huge hitbox
it's good against tanks and shaggy too
and even if you don't wanna use that perk there's always the axe throw
is it any wonder tho that I also lose to bugs and harley every time
then I go against another jason and dominate
this character man
harley is pretty hard to beat but bugs is just a matter of practice
having the projectile shield perk equipped helps a ton with their projectiles tho
(it even works on mojo jojo's bombs!)
you don't even need the perk if you can parry it on reaction
i can't parry it on reaction
clearly everyone needs to be nerfed and jason buffed
smile
pft
jab 1 into sleeping bag has been pretty consistent but I always forget to do just the first jab
fr
i always think "this is the one" and in the middle of mashing i end up doing the whole jab combo instead of just one
good thing the throw is good
same lol
your most reliable combos are jab12 axe throw at low percent then at like 20-30ish you can start hitting jab mist step uair then a bit higher you can go jab mist step axe throw
(jab mist step uair is for near the edge doesn't typically work on batcave because they bounce off the walls but if you hit jab near a wall and axe throw hits off if it you can typically combo off)
in batcave it's better to use neutral instead of up air
I do jab12 and then bed crunch
both grounded and air neutrals shine in there
Makes em pop up like popcorn
batcave and cromulons are the best stages for jason because he can stack up so much damage so fast
Air neutral has a lot more knockback then you'd think
I'm unsure if I'm bad or if ulight doesn't actually combo into anything
good
I remember landing Axe throw on someone over the edge in Batcave and they bounced into the car, then rocketed down, it was hilarious
yeah i killed someone at 0 like that
I just did that to a shaggy but they didn't die sadly ;w;
oh ye that's really funy
The bed break? No it's pretty good if you got good jump reaction, it sets people up for air combos and stuff
whenever I try uair I get dodged idk
dude the bed is awesome if you land it
maybe my timing is suck
most opponents i face are braindead and let me charge it all the way and even dodge into it
Jab12 sets up int ulight
yea but I'm unsure if that actually combos into anything
i also learnt that you can jab jab bed near the ledge against opponents with good dodge reaction, they'll ALWAYS dodge after the second jab so you can hit a mid-charge bed
I've killed with that before, it's really good if your team mate is vertical because it pops up enemies
I mean for kills mist step is usually better anyway
Yup, the bed has a lot larger range than you think, it's got a vaccum effect I stg
yes the bed pulls enemies to the center
especially since jason is way better when his opp is offstage as opposed to above jason
unfortunately it comes with the drawback of somehow having a hitbox on the bed itself
"ow! my wooden bed" takes damage
i stg parry is the only way to hit neutral air special
I've experienced the opposite: Jason is great when his opponent is above him (except Joker)
The axe also takes damage. I should know, it and Harley Quinn's sliding leg are very well aquatinted
no, you were probably facing the harley perk that makes her dodge while sliding
I need to get better at parrying
I think you're way scarier when opp is offstage bc they have way less space to maneuver around sair and you don't have to worry about your own lack of mobility because your opponent has to go toward the stage eventually
No I've damaged sliding Harley with the Axe and also been hit by her slide, on god bro
yes because not every harley runs it
Fair. Nothing like charging a Zombie Stomp to plant some Potatoes
i see more running the aimed glove for some reason
which honestly props to them that's a solid counter to jason
And I'm saying the Axe takes damage
Yeah fair
not even you just sit on a wall or at the edge and hit sair or dair where they have to end up and they straight up die
never experienced that
one thing I know I should probably be using more is netural air, that under axe swing
Everyone I try that on has been an ultra mobile who's able to wide berth me, or has a team mate with a Psychic connection rush over and harass me while my own team mate is across the map trying to recover and I never clutch it
Yeah, it's surprisingly fast and hard hitting
I just keep forgetting, and then by the time I do its probably too late lol
my experience has been like that but for when my opp is above me and they just like dodge one of my things and we're immediately back to neutral and I cri
From Below (Ulightair) usually resolves that bechas it's fast and hits twice. I've had people dodge the first stab right into being hit by the second
If neutral air's startup was a few frames faster i feel like it would be a pretty decent move.
Same goes for jab
realistically a lot of my issues are centered around a lack of frame advantage on moves like nair
does the iron giant have an infinite on jason ???
ok starting to think IG has an infinite period
i met an IG that did simply Jab - jump - Nair
i literally couldn't either DI nor Parry out of it
yeah, I saw today on twitter that he has multiple infinites
the bot on Hard isn't even doing a dodge an normaly it dodges out of everything
the AI is dumb but NOT that dumb to not escape as soon as an input is pressed
He does my buddy likes to play as him and occasionally I'll get caught in an infinite the best thing you can do is either wait it out or get a luck doge
welp... we know what will get patched out o__o
welp, i got the wake up call
time to torture people with giant for a while 👀
Have fun getting juggled
The giant is damage sponge with the worlds largest hit box
i mean it was my first character in the beta xD
and currently playing jason
i'm used to being the THICC bois for some reason in this game lol
giant and jason to me feel like DK and Ganondorf in smash
there have two modes
combo food, or absolute destruction
yeah but we might need the tune down on Giant's infinite, we're back in season 1 beta lol
now wait to see him get nerfed over and over every patch
If Jason gets nerfed I'll actually write a complaint
i still remember him not receiving ONE buff, only bug fixes and nerfs
If anything he buff
like legit Giant was nerfed to kingdom come no matter the patch
I remember that
like I said, nerf everyone and buff jason
pf heh
Nerf WW buff Jason rework reindog
Ww is balanced
sometimes it feels like it lol
Like hell she is
@tulip plaza sometimes is just bad luck xD
WW is not balanced
hell taking the nappa example, everyone thought he sucked... and then the tech came out
Wonder Woman is balanced
hollywood laugh track
She shouldn't be a tank imo
She has everything needed for a platform fighting game unlike everyone else once u nerf her is like damn
Whats her purpose
Bring everyone else up
🤷
@steady salmon I'm surprised you say that, because a lot of your interactions in this server is "nerf this nerf that"
🧀
No, I'm sleepy
I got timed out for forgetting that there's no bad words
I prefer the term sentence enhancer
I'm fairly certain the infinite is universal
You'd think that and then you look at what they did to Taz
Jason's large frame makes it easier and because he's larger and can't dodge as far it is very easy to get caught in it
What did they do to my boy taz?
Is he unplayable?
He was the worst character in the game and in the first patch of the beta they nerfed him with 0 compensatory buffs
Christ
That was when I quit the game bc I knew that the team needed to learn how to balance a video game
Yknow what really grinds my gears
The fact that every single game I queue is the same 4 fighters
WW, Harley, Bugs, Tom and Jerry, or Jason
I don't really care that every match is a shaggy ww harley or tom
Forgot shaggy
I want to play against something like a Steven universe or a Jake every once in awhile
I have yet to lose a 2s match where the enemy team picks jason
I'd say I'm actually not to shabby
You do not want to play against steven universe
I don't play 2s
I did double Jason with a friend and we did pretty good
no I'm saying in 1s steven is a miserable experience
Don't forget about the shoulder check there was a couple of times where you coulda canceled the folding bed with it
Otherwise
"Yeah that's what I woulda did"
Except I play my Jason more horizontal
I did pretty well that game, got two stocks and then started going silly goin for that grab
and it worked in the end too
I noticed lmao
Half my Jason games are oh no I think I'm cooked and then I lock in last minute
A lot of it is also just trying to experiment and see what works
If all else fails I play banana guard
that silly banana
the only reason I play anything other than jason is event quests
PFG does a good job with making characters fun, so I'm excited for all the characters we get next
who knows who I might stick with
I'm just trying to be the best jason in the world
Good luck
the strongest jason ever created
Lowkey mad that they didn't relaunch with ranked
I just play casually man
I don't wanna play with the tryhards
I'm best Jason NA (I have never lost a mirror)
(I have never lost a mirror either - my opponent desynchs)
Every single time I start cooking I get a desync
yeah i then tried on Shaggy and it worked the same
like i mentioned, we're just like beta 1 pretty much ... only less goofy looking
I miss beta 1
last one literally was just dropping and it would trigger xD
It was complete trash but at least I didn't desync
I'm gonna keep complaining till it's fixed
bros never seen any of the films
I have in fact never watched friday the 13th
I'm beginning to think Jason is actually kinda low tier
I feel like every Tank/Assassin just kinda beats him out
He's too slow to deal with Assassins right, and he doesn't have anything that's a fast multihit/break attack to deal with armour properly.
Definately better in 2s but I think my boy might need some assistance
Unclear actually
that's why you run 2 fast 2 block
it's not like the 5% speed boost from speed force is that useful
5% of a terrible walking speed is still terrible
at least your dash attack can go through armor
iirc Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash states that he's a Deadite
Bro
they should look at Jason's hurtbox during his attacks
cuz why is suddenly the machete a hurtbox when I jab????
half of Jason's moves make him a larger target and it makes it objectively impossible to box out a crap ton of moves
you'd think that the big guy with long arms and 2 weapons would have some disjoints
Tbh the movies aren't really consistent
He was supposed to be a Deadite since Jason Goes To Hell iirc
That one isn't even a movie, FvJvA is a comic
Yeah ik
I watched all F13 but mostly just for Voorhees
He's very low tier imo, one of the worst Tank in the game... definitely needed buffs
He was thought to be strong at the start but as week progressing, he became weak & overwhelmed
100%
I still like FvJ though
Aw man I would love Krueger to be in the game
FvJ my favourite movie
Also lot of memes & comedy
The Bedfold move IS from that iirc
It is...
Am I missing something or is Jason worse than most the cast? He's not bad, definitely not, but he feels no where near as good as most the roster.
He’s just way too slow in terms of movement and frame data
Damn
down air is also good but thin hitbox but it pops up and his up air and up air special are great
It’s definitely his best move
I love him, he's a lot of fun, but he has no answer for fast jugglers like Finn
bit of a ladder character that wants to do lots of short hops where you quick fall
yeah his escape is kinda bad
Well, they'll prolly buff him
and his dmg isnt that high
So Ill stick with him
hopefully
his strength and banana guards strength felt like they should have been opposite
They just need to make his grounded down special and aerial neutral special grabs less risky to use
yeah and do bigger dmg
Sleeping bag has like 10 years of whiff lag
problem is alot of his stuff takes ages to finish and in 2s their teamate just hits you out of it even if you land it
And his air grab has like 10 years of startup
ive never got the spike from the neutral grab in 2s cause their teammate just starts juggling me out of it
its just unsafe when landed
I feel like he should maybe get armor when he grabs someone because in the very few times I’ve actually landed either grab in 2v2, I’ve gotten hit immediately after
yeah no knockback during neutral air special and grounded up special active frames if you hit would be great
i think he would be insanely better if they just removed self dmg from the buff
cause it already has a meter that needs to refill
either make it meterless with self dmg or no self dmg with meter, not both
I bought the tooniverse Jason skin, and then my first match with it I destroyed a WW
feelin good
Beautiful.
Down Special is very good if you hit two slices
Guarantee kill on somewhere around 80 dmg
It's the worst recovery in the game ngl
That recovery needs to be in par atleast somewhere around Axe Swing recovery
Makes no sense to have that such ridiculous missed recovery
it sucks that the whiff is so long, because I think the sleeping bag is a funny move pf
It's also the worst move
Coz it can't even kill 120+ dmg which is a joke
Despite I throw them in the most out of edge as possible
It's just sad
yeah down air special is good, even if you only hit one it pops up for his up air juggle
he really feels like the moves that were meant to be good suck and the moves that were meant to be filler are good
It's a better alternative of the punch, the punch just has some wacky hitboxes
Which I didn't use much...
yeah punch is slim for sure
But it's just like most of the casts
Like for example, Ik T&J down air is same with the frying pan I think...
some spikes are quite fat, atleast fatter than jasons
not got all chars tho
im not sure what the best way to pop them up is?
is jab jab up attack true?
double poke is thin hitbox but its deceptively good i feel, maybe ive just been lucky
The second up poke has larger knockback
hitting both is decent dmg and it keeps him airborne a while
overall he feels like you can stay in the air for years and follow them up
its just getting them up their in the first place
up special is insane
air that is
might be one of the best in game
yeah its a long startup
but he can kill on up air so if you dodge that and jason delayed up special
vs delay dodge and you get double poked out of the roof
haha yeah its bad
slow hard to hit and you get hit out of it by their teammate
It's very good for 1v1 if you land it but still the slow startup is just bad
i had success with the teleport behind them perk and doing jab jab side special then instant neutral special because sometimes it puts you right on them mid air off stage and they are just dead, but its such a gimmick and +5% is way better on him
i guess its like a really risky edge guard
but you may as well use side air
yeah its just like when will you hit it
Yes but still useful tool compare to neutral grab
Bit slow yeah but better than the grab still
im not sure how to buff him
making neutral special not dmg is a start but they need to somehow move his powerbudget around, cause alot of his power is in moves you basically cant land
It's hard but idt Player First Game will ever do that...
Give him I-frames when exiting teleport
His side combo definitely need some buffs, too slow can't even hit as well
would be kinda crazy considering you can attack straight out of tp already
yeah faster jab would help and better hitbox on it
You can't 😭 he's just there for like a solid 0.5 seconds
The axe ground neutral is underrated btw... I should use that often...
you can if you spam the input while hes tping
you just dont know if you need to aim left or right so you often whiff
i guess thats just learning tp distance tho
high level stuff
neutral grab straight out if tp is funny like i said but side air is prob most optimal
its good just slow and hard to hit, cant confirm into it
teleport ends up being his confirm kill move
It isn't slow imo... but it's still a good alternate move to 3 hit combo
And neutral
Idk if that’s guaranteed or not tho
its not super slow but you cant get it off of jabs so you gotta do it raw
I find it most useful for catching people at the ledge since it does hit pretty low
yeah it just doesnt hit very high so unless they are hugging ledge its kinda eh
Comboing his jabs into an ip special and just continuing to hit the opponent into the air is a pretty easy way to win
very fun move to land tho
yeah but not neutral axe
Axe grab confirms out of jab, but not the neutral attack axe
I'm not sure if a ender combo grab is any good
Another useless move hooray
It’s not completely useless
Because if you’re facing away from ledge and hit a jab, you can turn the grab around to throw them off stage
Axe Throw can do the same
I guess that’s also true
It has good knockback, so yeah, if you do it near a ledge, it's great for launching, and it's also good for throwing the opponent at your teammate for juggling or hit confirm
But axe throw doesn’t send them very far
I can see it having more use in 2v2
But it’s not that useful in 1v1
It does, hell, if you have another Jason and good team work, you can throw them into an Axe Slam and delete the opl
The only use for sleeping bag is the glitch where if you grab both opponents, one of them just straight up disappears lmao
Yeah but the game is made for 2v2, and that's what I meanly play
I play both
My only real issue with 2v2 is that there are more chances to run into people playing on McDonald’s wifi
up special axe is eh
the third jab does more dmg and also can side swap
doesnt up special have vertical popup, thats prob its best use
Idk I feel a lot of people panic after getting hit by axe and it leaving the opponent so close to Jason makes it way easier to get follow ups
Even if they’re not guaranteed
The amount of people I’ve hit after axe grab with either sair or charged utilt after they panic dodge is not insignificant
Axe throw is okay tbh
Up Special axe is an anti-air with good horizontal. You're not using it to deal the most damage you're using it to deal damage in an optimal setting.
Plus in 2s it's got a long animation so a teammate can piggyback more damage off of it
I mean it's good if using raw as well
Yeah I'm saying it's not useful as a jab finisher (unless the opponent has a habit of not airdodging cause then it's a free Sair followup)
Yeah
Jab 1 -> Sleeping bag, Jab 2 -> Side Special as a kill tool, Jab 2 -> dtilt -> I think sair or up tilt? One of them is true, I forget which one
A'ight...
Jab 1,2 -> dtilt -> utilt is true on DI in after dtilt
Jab 1,2 -> dtilt -> grounded up b is true on DI out after dtilt
If grounded up b is true then sh sair should be too, I think it's faster
I don’t think sair is faster, but it could be true at certain percents maybe
It would be nice to get actual frame data in training mode or something
Well according to the lab dtilt -> utilt isn't true with no DI
But dtilt -> Neutral attack is.
Yeah it’s only on DI in
Which is... great actually
If they DI in, jab 1,2 -> dtilt -> utilt -> uair does mad damage
It’s usually worth going for at ledge at percents where mist won’t kill yet
I'm not confirming dtilt -> utilt even on DI in.
What %?
I AM getting just straight up jab 1,2 -> utilt though lmao
Yeah that works too
Don’t remember offhand, but it’s fairly low percents
how are you practicing against di’s cause you cant in lab can you?
Second controller?
If you set the bot to dodge after hitstun they'll di the direction they're planning to dodge
How do you know which way they’re planning on dodging tho?
Training mode may be lacking in some things but the bot does actually react fast
You can set the direction they dodge
What are optimal Jason perk combos
5% signature, and I personally go for snowball effect, last stand, and pugilist
yeah alot go for last stand
But the 5% movement speed boost for perk 2 is also good
its that or speed the rest are basically non negotiable
And the dash attack armor break is kinda needed against WW
Everyone has their things. Personally for the disrespect I'm looking into airwalker tech
But parrying is super useful on Jason
Thanks :D
Maybe the most important character in the game to learn parries on
You just stand still & press dodge button to parry right?
I’ve seen Arya clips with airwalker and they’re absolutely disgusting
Doesn't have to be grounded but yeah neutral dodge
Seems tough to do I think
Not particularly when you get used to timings
might be some combo with airwalk neutral attack
I always expect to immediately continue falling after a successful parry and often miss my punish
axe them mid air
Need to work on that
I think the easiest timing to learn first is batman grapple
Yeah it’s pretty consistent
And on some characters w/ mashy advantage state you get a feel for parrying really quickly, like vs Harley
Where a well timed parry can kill her at 50 from her advanatage state
If you go for the risky parry against her bat at the top blast zone, you can kill her even earlier than that
Exactly
But like if you miss, you’re also probably dead
You're at the top of the blast zone
As Jason
Vs a Harley
You were already dead
True lol
Yeah
The important thing is knowing the best option to punish a parry with
For a reverse juggle ALWAYS up special
Well, IG can just make people explode while getting comboed
He doesn’t even need parry lmao
IG also has an infinite and got banned from certain tournaments yesterday
He doesn't count
I know
I ran into someone a day or two ago who was playing IG fishing for the infinite and had an EVO badge
lmaooo
Yeah that tracks lol
Even with the infinite, Shaggy debatably goes even if not wins the matchup imo
A fisherman with only one kind of bait seldom feeds a family
Honestly IG having his loop ALMOST falls into a sort of "he needs it" category lmao
Almost
And a tip for anyone encountering people spamming IG infinite, DI up and you can sometimes avoid the second hit of nair and escape
But anyway yeah, Jason combos back on subject
jab 2 dtilt neutral attack is true
On both di out and normal di. but not di in
How long is it true for?
Oh lol
With this kind of game the safe answer is "reasonably long" lmao
Alright
Okay confirmed dtil utilt up air starting at 30% vs Shaggy
And GAHLEE that's a lot of damage
37%
Oh that's cool lmao
Man I just got bodied by Gizmo & idk what to do
no DI or DI out at 30%? dtilt -> nair -> sair is true
40%
Oh Gizmo is Jason's worst MU people just don't know it yet
Really? Yeah
Typical characters that can do multiple attacks that stun you is worst matchups
Imagine getting chased the way a Harley does but with little to no actual way of avoiding the juggles due to sporadic timing, a projectile that's 3x more common, and a hurtbox that's half Harley's size
start putting this in a spreadsheet so we can post in bulk and pin it
And then you have Gizmo
Yeah
I'm a lab monster not a lab organizer
Someone wanna set a spreadsheet up and plug in my findings? Go for it and give me a quirky little shoutout, or don't idc
LOL THAT HAS TO BE A BUG
So apparently thrown sleeping bag does no damage to an opponent hit by it?
Seems wholeheartedly not useful if it's defining traits are to make you and 1 opponent temporarily useless
Someone wanna start that spreadsheet up cause I got some info lmao
no why would it
This game often feels very competitive at times... idk if I should be playing & getting miserable with how low tier Jason is...
Jason is the best character in the game what are you talking about
Hoo that's gotta be one of his best and most practical combos in the game
I literally got bodied by Gizmo earlier so idk why I should be miserable all the time man
Mages negged the worst Tank in the game, no doubt
Is Gizmo a mage? I forgot
As early as 0% if you do a landing nair past your opponent you can combo intot jab 1,2 dtilt into either
nair -> sair
or
up tilt -> up air
For some NUTTY damage
Especially if you have your neutral special up
1v1 me I’ll change your mind lol
Cook him
I can't tell if this means you're going to show off god level play on other characters or just like.,... the worst Jason gameplay in the world
I think after nair, the sair might not be guaranteed coz they can dodge out of it
It's DI dependant
you can most certainly try
The first .. jason is b tier at best, struggles against anyone who isn’t clueless
Most of the people aren't clueless
Even unranked matches
95% of all players are clueless
Including and especially Jason players
My thoughts are he can look like a monster vs low level players, but against high level players he’s juggle food @median geyser @spiral pewter
So odds of you having fought a really good Jason to draw this conclusion from is low
Against anyone with a brain cell he's juggle food
That's not the point
I kinda know what I'm doing but I just don't know how to get hits correctly, most of the time just lose due to slow startups & bodied
He has kill potential but good luck getting a hit off
Anyone who plays Mages bodied the sh*t out of Jason
oftentimes if you get cooked there is a fundamental misunderstanding of how you have to play a matchup
or you're against iron giant and make 3 mistakes kekw
@sour radish Eh screw it, depending on who you play I'm down for some 1s
mages, bg, harley, ww, shaggy, batman all shd on jason
I'm 1000% down for 1s
Fr
no matter what
Out of all those
I don’t play any of those actually
BG and Harley are the only two that outright body Jason
tbh I've stopped struggling against most of those chars atp
I don't think the devs gonna buff Voorhees anytime soon... I can tell... coz he's still in such bad state rn...
What do you mean "still"
There hasn't been a balance patch
But also
He's not that bad
English fart...
I just get miserable at times where I got bodied by worst matchups
interesting lol, question, do you use the tp perk?
idk i think hes pretty bad. the only thing he has going for him is killing early off a dodge read and many characters do that with a much better neutral game
He's second tankiest in the game
He's GOT combos that are easy to land when you play right, and those combos work from 0% to kill percent
Unless the people know how to dodge them is a debate to this... coz they can dodge out of it np
he has no way to contest when he loses the neutral either which will happen often bc he has the worst neutral in the game
And against "mages" he goes even against anyone with a projectile if you perk loadout correctly
I play joker and have yet to lose to any Jason, and feel like i read everything they try to do, combo food, slow, and readable
We can run that
Cool
I think Joker's only -1 for Jason
that cant be right lol
wouldnt help his neutral game. all of his aerials just have so much startup
plus his jab is weak. he needs a good jab
I feel like
The people who complain about startup in this game
Have never played Smash at a mid-high level even once
No offense
whats your point?
It's just such a mimicked opinion that means nothing beyond its surface contribution to the conversation
well he’s right in the sense his neutral moves are a bit lacking
and his aerial moves are stronger
Neutral doesn't simply involve attacking
i think his mist move is an underrated startup
Anyway less schmuh duh duh more duh duh duh.
yes it also involves whiff punishing which again, his jab is bad. a good player isnt going to give you the opportunity
His jab is- firstly- not a TERRIBLE whiff punish, which is better than half the cast's jabs.
Secondly
he was fine on day one when everyone attacked into his armor but he just doesnt have the right tools to compete in this game imo. weaknesses far outweigh his strenghts
His nair's a good whiff punish which combos into jab
I really don't even think it's very helpful to commiserate about the character
of course not it's bad
All I'm saying is you need a change in perspective
That being- use this channel as a means of learning
Or
Complain in the feedback channel
Or
Drop him?
im not complaining. i dont play the character. im just stating facts
in my experience it doesn't combo to anything unless the opp just doesn't know how to dodge
In your experience you're wrong.
Nair true combos into sair at mid percents and jab at low percents
And you can check that in the lab
it might be that I'm hitting the early part of nair
the lab isn't a very reliable way to test things apparently
lab isnt accurate
the bots are terrible
also I'm unsure if testing vs iron giant is reliable either I'm 90% sure that mf takes less hitstun
Lab has instant reaction and you can alter the DI by changing their dodge after hitstun direction
I also reconfirmed in norms after I was comfortable so 🤷♂️
you would think. but its not.
I like doing jab, jab then stomp & bed
If this isn't coming from a former T100 player, or Nakat, or Void.
No offense I don't believe it
lol
lol
well I tested a combo I thought was real (mist step jab) into a dodging player
and it
did not work
well just wait for the pros to tell you exactly what i tell you
Who told you mist step jab was true anyway? It's definitely not replicatable in lab
Just "dodge after hitstun"?
Hard difficulty cpu? Replicated exactly how you performed it in training in your match
Recommended perk set?
With the same positioning and percents
In training or in match?
in match
Yeah then it wouldn't perform the same
Tanks passively take less damage
Used to be anyway
you might be right about this tbh. ive had some weird things happen against iron giant. getting parried when the combo shouldve been true
ye does it say anything about it on his passive or something?
i dont believe so
cause jab12 miststep doesn't seem to be true on him
when it is true on
literally everyone els
this isnt what they mean
and I don't know whether or not damage even affects anything other than, well, damage
idk if it affects kb or hitstun or something
Also jab 1-2 if you aren't tight on it can be DI'd out of mist-step range
yes depending on range or whatever I know
But I've gotten jab 1,2 into mist step on IG before
on IG is literally just doesn't seem to function
I didn't realize that's what you were talking about
Hell actually IG is a characters you can combo jab 1,2 side special INTO something else if you take yourself offstage with it
Idk what you did wrong
Can also combo dj sair off of it
Anyway my offer to run 1s has been open for the last 20 minutes and no one's posted their tag
I just got out of the shower lul
HootsforceArise @sour radish @spiral pewter whoever's playing
Sent
poggies
Guess I didn't remove that one lmao
should probably get that one outta here
Is there a stage list somewhere yet?
Well everything left should be fine anyway
Something I never considered in the ditto is how good jab 2 anti airs
the ditto is really funny
do you see why I have the opinions I do on this character now
I clearly need to learn more about dodges in this game cause I pulled the EXACT dodge out of jab 1 as you did to get advantage state tthat last stock and took an L for it
ye
What was different idfk but your sair went through when mine didn't and I died for it lol
Nice
Man I gotta get better at my advantage states
did you burn your recoveries on accident lul
touching wall doesn't reset them methinks
only ground
or am I thinking of dodges
ok I'm wrong lul
Okay that glitch is ticking me off so badly
If you airdodge on the ground right after a charged attack you airdodge forward
See?
I've noticed lmao
So if mansion is on the stage list absolutely pick it as Jason lol
I get dicked on Crom by rushdowns tbh
These interactions seem so mirrored but always end in your favor
You dodge sair into I dodge sair but when I dodge into a punish I whiff
it might just be execution
but also like
I'm like
putting you into positions where you're less able to properly react to me
basically
like I can't really explain in the short amount of time a rematch timer gives
holy on
so basically right
the interactions only look mirrored because we're playing the same character
in reality, I'm in complete control a lot of the time because I'm constantly able to pinpoint exactly where I want my character to be and as a result know when I can do what I want to do
it's like
whenever I dodge in for a sair vs if I don't
I understand my spacings and how my movement affects those
Ah I get it. I don't have the same awareness on where things are going to put me in its exact
Might be because I play and experiment with too many chars
you need to be constantly aware of exactly where you are and where you want to go
and how you're going to get there
you also need to know where your opponent wants to be
I was getting hit like a goober because I was dodging inward
fairly consistently
is there a character that you play more than Jason
More than Jason? No. Better than Jason? Well, probably Gizmo cause he was my most played in Beta.
I have spent the past weekend grinding jason
and jason alone
in my about 20 hours of gameplay I'm level 10 with him
Who do you guys feel like Jason's best teammates are in 2s? I've gotten the best results out of The Joker simply because of the fast vertical climb we can cause our opponents
I think he works well with almost everything but ime he works best with the usual suspects like ww and banana guard
harley too
Okay that 6 dair edge guard
there we go
Was something we should address
yea you were in fatigue
Oh I know but I was SCREAMING lol
Yeah I gotta remove that stage too
Much better
also why do you have push the advantage on instead of snowball effect
I was just thinking about that between matches lol
Yeah you've kinda opened my eyes on that.
have you just been trying to chip people out at like 150 this whole time lul
I mean like
you literally don't deal enough attacks for the weakness stacks to matter lul
is the other thing
one hit usually just kills them at 125
unless they're exactly like
jason or iron giant
Sorry, I tilted first stock when the game dodge jumped me the exact opposite direction I inputted
After I was waiting with extreme patience to go in when you had no stamina it reversed my dodge jump
Like WHY lmao
ye
Can we do anything into Rick's down air?
Like assuming he's not super outta position is there anything we can do there or is it just move away?
Someone with either fast speed or good projectiles. Jason can then act as a team combo finisher and make people explode
Honestly I like Batman. His crazy neutral just makes Jason feel less glacially slow 'n' stubby.
Yeah he’s best paired with one of those “hold down the neutral for me” characters
i.e. he's bad
listen I'm a Jason main but my boy is low tier
Oh exactly. When things hit they're fun, cool and feel good but damn
In 1v1 he’s definitely bottom 5
He's so slow, such bad normals, everything is INCREDIBLY punishable
I don't care if someone is bad I just want fun
I've never seen a person who loved his character's sair so much that the sair actually loved him back
I haven’t played him as much in 2v2 to make a concrete opinion
I think he's the lowest character who isn't entirely bereft of function
This is exactly why you’d play Jason
I love my character's good moves
I take care of them
Cause Istg in those moments where you're edgeguarding me with sair on high
I'M DODGING
But your sair goes "nah I'm faster rn"
Like Velma and Gizmo just aren't functional at the moment but of the characters who can play the game I think Jason might unironically be the worst character in the game
I choose to have a character to play for each class Tank: Jason Bruiser : Banana Guard Mage: Joker and assassin I don't have any soo ¯_(ツ)_/¯
BOLD to say Jason is actually a tank
He's a bruiser without any of the mobility
He's just a slow bruiser imo
Stripe is fun
Bro idk what you’re on Gizmo is a top tier rn
Velma is definitive bottom 1 tho
They removed every one of her good tools
I haven't tried him admittedly since I was in the understanding he just wasn't of any worth in 1s
I just bought Gizmo because I needed a gremlins character and I flipped a coin
And I mostly play 1s
Watch Nakat play Gizmo to see how cracked he can be
BRO WHAT IS THIS LOL
It's got that "nah, I'd win" ahh energy
Literally tho
He’s more difficult to play, but he’s hella good
Alr
Gizmo's been sleeper SINCE release
I could've sworn there was a mage that just wasn't functional in 1s
He was S tier on launch and so few people understood it that he got buffed lmao
I think Jason is quite decent
Like none of their stuff worked
Is Velma considered a mage now? Is so it’s her lol
He's ok in 2s since he can just eradicate people but like
He's SO slow
Every normal/special he has is either not really all that good or just loses to a lot of options
Smoke, Sleeping Bag, Axe Walk, Dair, Jab...
His machete is a part of his hurtbox btw, why.
Yes she is
All the downsides of being a slow weapon character with none of the upsides. All of the downsides of being a grappler with like half the upsides.
Smash Bros DK tie hurtbox moment
Especially with the fact Finn is just Jason but better
He's insane
He just actually has to play disadvantage now because he doesn’t have gem
He's another character who's hitboxes feel... incorrect too.
Taz has the stubbiest range in the game
Like I can see the gap between my body and Finn's hits. Same with Banana Guard
being slow isn't a weakness if the stage is small and a lot of the stages are in fact quite small
If that’s who you’re thinking of
and your range is good enough to restrict options
Problem is everything is so slow to come out that most buttons just beat Jason's... everything
Yeah Jason kinda needs to parry against mashers or he just loses
It's especially bad with stuff like Arya
Which REALLY sucks
Jason was an amazing inclusion and it makes me want more Horror representation with
Freddy Krueger and Michael Myers
3rd party fighters are possible
Yeah, but I wouldn't anticipate getting any of them anytime soon.
We'll probably only see 3rd party stuff once the huge list of likely WB IP stuff starts running dry
I also doubt it with how much IP is under WB
If the game lives that long
They could add Mortal Kombat before that
parry is a very good equalizer when you hit like a freight train
And I definitely learned a lot
I genuinely would love a MK rep
True, because they own the rights and Scorpion would be 🔥
But I really specifically want Freddy and Ash lmao
Same especially when Wonder Woman is trying to be Scorpion with some of her lines
I don't think so
He's not as completely bereft of use as Velma is for example, but he's not close to good
I doubt miramax is going to get rid of Halloween so soon they just obtained it last October
they def will go with more horror stuff, they dont have horror as a whole rift theme for nothing
I feel like I'm a punching bag that won't die when I'm playing Jason
Basically yeah
Jason I think Jason is the second heaviest character behind Iron Giant
And he’s big
Really sucks though cause most matches I can't do ANYTHING
Yeah he’s basically the Ganondorf of Multiversus
Big, slow movement, slow frame data, but hits really hard
It's very funny when the enemy team decides I'm not a threat and focuses my partner in 2v2, because then I get in, and give them a harsh remainder of who Jason Voorhees is.
It's a great way to get Double Ring outs
I was playing doubles as Shaggy with a Jason as my teammate. He was getting rushed down, so I’d come in to save him and he’d be able to team combo off my save
why are jason's signature perks so bad
lol true, the generic perk is more worthy than both his signatures perks
I really like his Teleports Behind you Perk even if it is just giving the opponent free hits (seriously, dodge frames on exit), but his resurrectionist perk, while flavorful, is... Underwhelming
one problem i started to notice is his hurtbox on whiff
I SWEAR the machete has a hurtbox along side the bed
both his jabs / up tilt / sair all have some long ass hurtboxes everytime
you would think stuff like his weapons would be disjointed or at the very least his machete
It does, as does the axe
I've up specialed a charging horse Jake and he gets hit out of horse but I get hit out of grabbing him
Everyday this characters gets worse and wrose lol
His hurtbox is so big people are landing attacks going in the wrong direction
Literally a meat puppet for combo videos
i don't mind it he's a combo sponge, the guy is big
what is bothering is some interactions
picture this:
- Bugs Side Helicopter
- I wait out of its range (about to stop pretty much)
- i do Sair from TIP RANGE... Jason gets interrupted
like... i'm literally FULL SWING, how was that not even a trade ?!
And it feels like I still die at 100 like im a light character
I mean ill keep playing him till level 10 but hes not very good
But fun to play
nah jason is heavier but there are moves that just straight up spike you really hard
but it's the usual suspect characters and it depends on the stage blast zones
he ain't Iron Giant weight that's for sure but he can survive a couple of times over 100 unless it's the usual suspects or ur close to the blast zone
... max i got was around 270 but it was the game of thrones stage xD
is there any recorded instance where jason is seen escaping a joker ladder combo?
OOOOOOOOOOH YEEEEEEEEEEAH BABY
I JUST MADE A BANANA GUARD RQ AS JASON
FEELS SO GOOOD
Congratulations
I've made a couple finns rage quit as jason
but a banana guard, thats amazing heh
