his axe...

west cloak
#

Honestly, Jason just kills

#

He has good kill options for both vertical and horizontal

tender ravine
#

His neutral special in air is so hard to hit with

winged furnace
#

I think it's funny that you can finish certain nodes based on the variant in the rifts.

elfin fossil
winged furnace
# tender ravine Huh?

With WW I used her evil variant to get the Villanous win condition completed on some nodes in the rifts

west cloak
tender ravine
west cloak
#

I think I just used Jason for those rifts

tender ravine
#

I got the battle pass for free thank god

#

Did you use the same account?

tender ravine
#

Didn't have Finn or Jake 😢

tender ravine
west cloak
#

Oof

tender ravine
#

How else would I have gotten the bp

west cloak
#

I guess that’s true

#

Strange that you didn’t keep your beta characters

winged furnace
# tender ravine I think it's stupid

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.

west cloak
#

Actually, idk if I bought Finn or just used him while he was free, but I don’t have him unlocked either

west cloak
tender ravine
#

Only if the tp hits

west cloak
#

I thought I’ve seen it without the TP hitting too

rough socket
#

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?

west cloak
#

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

elfin fossil
#

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

west cloak
#

They’re not gonna get rid of perks

#

They’d just add new ones

rough socket
#

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

tender ravine
rough socket
#

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)

tender ravine
#

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

elfin fossil
tender ravine
#

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

tender ravine
#

Jason's throw is so visceral I love it

tulip plaza
#

I love how Jason doesn't feel like, censored
like there is no blood of course, but the sound design is still plenty brutal

rough socket
tender ravine
#

He fits the vibe of

#

Big

#

Menacing

#

Evil

#

And mysterious

#

Glad he's not too cartoony

tulip plaza
#

speaking of cartoony, been tempted to grab the tooniverse skin for jason, not many other skins I have my eye on

elfin fossil
tulip plaza
#

grounded up, jab 3, neutral air special, grounded down
so many grabs to choose from pft

tender ravine
tender ravine
#

1 I don't have time for that and 2 it gets really boring without friends

elfin fossil
elfin fossil
# tender ravine The choke throw

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.

tulip plaza
#

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

slender arrow
#

Stabby stab stab love the air grab when it connects.

elfin fossil
tulip plaza
#

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

elfin fossil
#

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.

visual sail
#

Hes pretty buns bro

tender ravine
#

Jason slander is not tolerated in this household

visual sail
#

I mean i dont play either of those characters but im right

#

He kinda buns

tender ravine
#

You could not be more wrong

#

I'm like 7-0 with him right now

tulip plaza
#

my results are pretty back and fourth with jason

tender ravine
#

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

tulip plaza
#

I mean naturally anyone is gonna lose against WW pft

balmy prairie
#

just break her armor and then you don't lose

tulip plaza
#

if only it was that easy

balmy prairie
#

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

tulip plaza
#

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

balmy prairie
#

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!)

devout burrow
#

you don't even need the perk if you can parry it on reaction

balmy prairie
#

i can't parry it on reaction

tulip plaza
#

clearly everyone needs to be nerfed and jason buffed
smile
pft

devout burrow
#

this combo doesn't work on DI in btw

#

just jump over it

tulip plaza
#

jab 1 into sleeping bag has been pretty consistent but I always forget to do just the first jab

balmy prairie
#

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

devout burrow
#

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)

balmy prairie
#

in batcave it's better to use neutral instead of up air

elfin fossil
#

I do jab12 and then bed crunch

balmy prairie
#

both grounded and air neutrals shine in there

elfin fossil
#

Makes em pop up like popcorn

balmy prairie
#

batcave and cromulons are the best stages for jason because he can stack up so much damage so fast

elfin fossil
devout burrow
#

I'm unsure if I'm bad or if ulight doesn't actually combo into anything

elfin fossil
balmy prairie
#

yeah i killed someone at 0 like that

tulip plaza
#

I just did that to a shaggy but they didn't die sadly ;w;

devout burrow
#

oh ye that's really funy

elfin fossil
devout burrow
#

whenever I try uair I get dodged idk

balmy prairie
#

dude the bed is awesome if you land it

devout burrow
#

maybe my timing is suck

balmy prairie
#

most opponents i face are braindead and let me charge it all the way and even dodge into it

elfin fossil
#

Jab12 sets up int ulight

devout burrow
#

yea but I'm unsure if that actually combos into anything

balmy prairie
#

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

elfin fossil
#

I've killed with that before, it's really good if your team mate is vertical because it pops up enemies

devout burrow
#

I mean for kills mist step is usually better anyway

elfin fossil
balmy prairie
#

yes the bed pulls enemies to the center

devout burrow
#

especially since jason is way better when his opp is offstage as opposed to above jason

balmy prairie
#

unfortunately it comes with the drawback of somehow having a hitbox on the bed itself

#

"ow! my wooden bed" takes damage

devout burrow
#

oh yea also

#

parry mechanic is

#

very very good

balmy prairie
#

i stg parry is the only way to hit neutral air special

elfin fossil
elfin fossil
balmy prairie
elfin fossil
devout burrow
elfin fossil
balmy prairie
#

yes because not every harley runs it

elfin fossil
balmy prairie
#

i see more running the aimed glove for some reason

#

which honestly props to them that's a solid counter to jason

elfin fossil
devout burrow
balmy prairie
tulip plaza
#

one thing I know I should probably be using more is netural air, that under axe swing

elfin fossil
elfin fossil
tulip plaza
#

I just keep forgetting, and then by the time I do its probably too late lol

devout burrow

dull axle
#

If neutral air's startup was a few frames faster i feel like it would be a pretty decent move.

#

Same goes for jab

devout burrow
#

realistically a lot of my issues are centered around a lack of frame advantage on moves like nair

ocean vale
#

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

tulip plaza
#

yeah, I saw today on twitter that he has multiple infinites

ocean vale
#

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

tender ravine
ocean vale
#

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 👀

tender ravine
#

Have fun getting juggled

#

The giant is damage sponge with the worlds largest hit box

ocean vale
#

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

tender ravine
#

Real

#

I love Jason his move set just flows

ocean vale
#

and i play nappa in FighterZ

#

... so THICC

#

and Majin Bu

tulip plaza
#

giant and jason to me feel like DK and Ganondorf in smash
there have two modes
combo food, or absolute destruction

ocean vale
#

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

tender ravine
ocean vale
#

i still remember him not receiving ONE buff, only bug fixes and nerfs

tender ravine
#

If anything he buff

ocean vale
#

like legit Giant was nerfed to kingdom come no matter the patch

tender ravine
tulip plaza
#

like I said, nerf everyone and buff jason
pf heh

ocean vale
#

aaah the anime fighter rule

#

everyone is better except my character 👀

tender ravine

Ww is balanced

tender ravine

#

@tulip plaza sometimes is just bad luck xD

tender ravine
#

WW is not balanced

ocean vale
#

hell taking the nappa example, everyone thought he sucked... and then the tech came out

tulip plaza
#

Wonder Woman is balanced
hollywood laugh track

steady salmon
#

Lmao

#

What i mean is she more rounded

tender ravine
steady salmon
#

Everyone needs to be on her level

#

Why nerf her

#

Makes no sense

tender ravine
#

I just think she shouldn't be in the tank class

#

And she needs to be a bit slower

steady salmon
#

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

#

🤷

dense sun
#

@steady salmon I'm surprised you say that, because a lot of your interactions in this server is "nerf this nerf that"

steady salmon
#

You right i broke character

#

😂

dense sun
#

🧀

steady salmon
#

Was jus gon come in here and say nerf jason but

#

We cool i guess

dense sun
#

No, I'm sleepy

I got timed out for forgetting that there's no bad words

#

I prefer the term sentence enhancer

Is he unplayable?

devout burrow
tender ravine
#

Christ

devout burrow
#

That was when I quit the game bc I knew that the team needed to learn how to balance a video game

tender ravine
#

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

devout burrow
#

I don't really care that every match is a shaggy ww harley or tom

tender ravine
#

Forgot shaggy

devout burrow
#

Jason mirrors are funny because all of the jason players are bad

#

especially in 2s

tender ravine
devout burrow
#

I have yet to lose a 2s match where the enemy team picks jason

tender ravine
devout burrow
#

You do not want to play against steven universe

tulip plaza
#

speaking of jason mirrors

tender ravine
tulip plaza
#

I did double Jason with a friend and we did pretty good

devout burrow
tender ravine
#

Huh

#

Never knew

tender ravine
#

Otherwise

#

"Yeah that's what I woulda did"

#

Except I play my Jason more horizontal

tulip plaza
#

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

tender ravine
#

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

tulip plaza
#

that silly banana

devout burrow
#

the only reason I play anything other than jason is event quests

tender ravine
#

Real

#

I want agent smith

tulip plaza
#

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

devout burrow
#

I'm just trying to be the best jason in the world

tender ravine
#

Good luck

tulip plaza
#

the strongest jason ever created

tender ravine
#

Lowkey mad that they didn't relaunch with ranked

#

I just play casually man

#

I don't wanna play with the tryhards

devout burrow
#

I'm best Jason NA (I have never lost a mirror)

tender ravine
#

(I have never lost a mirror either - my opponent desynchs)

#

Every single time I start cooking I get a desync

ocean vale
#

like i mentioned, we're just like beta 1 pretty much ... only less goofy looking

tender ravine
#

I miss beta 1

ocean vale
#

last one literally was just dropping and it would trigger xD

tender ravine
#

It was funny

devout burrow
#

beta kinda sucked

#

it was literally just brawlhalla but worse

tender ravine
#

It was complete trash but at least I didn't desync

#

I'm gonna keep complaining till it's fixed

turbid lichen
#

bros never seen any of the films

devout burrow
#

I have in fact never watched friday the 13th

river token
#

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

gray gale
#

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

river token
#

iirc Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash states that he's a Deadite

gray gale
#

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

quiet sorrel
#

He was supposed to be a Deadite since Jason Goes To Hell iirc

river token

median geyser
median geyser
#

He was thought to be strong at the start but as week progressing, he became weak & overwhelmed

river token
#

100%

median geyser
#

Aw man I would love Krueger to be in the game

river token
#

FvJ my favourite movie

median geyser
#

Also lot of memes & comedy

river token
#

The Bedfold move IS from that iirc

median geyser
#

It is...

lean flare
#

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.

turbid lichen
#

he is kinda bad

#

top players with him seem to spam side air

west cloak
#

He’s just way too slow in terms of movement and frame data

lean flare
#

Damn

turbid lichen
#

down air is also good but thin hitbox but it pops up and his up air and up air special are great

west cloak
lean flare
#

I love him, he's a lot of fun, but he has no answer for fast jugglers like Finn

turbid lichen
#

bit of a ladder character that wants to do lots of short hops where you quick fall

#

yeah his escape is kinda bad

lean flare
#

Well, they'll prolly buff him

turbid lichen
#

and his dmg isnt that high

lean flare
#

So Ill stick with him

turbid lichen
#

hopefully

#

his strength and banana guards strength felt like they should have been opposite

west cloak
#

They just need to make his grounded down special and aerial neutral special grabs less risky to use

turbid lichen
#

yeah and do bigger dmg

west cloak
#

Sleeping bag has like 10 years of whiff lag

turbid lichen
#

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

west cloak
#

And his air grab has like 10 years of startup

turbid lichen
#

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

west cloak
turbid lichen
#

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

tulip plaza
#

I bought the tooniverse Jason skin, and then my first match with it I destroyed a WW
feelin good

median geyser
#

Guarantee kill on somewhere around 80 dmg

median geyser
#

That recovery needs to be in par atleast somewhere around Axe Swing recovery

#

Makes no sense to have that such ridiculous missed recovery

tulip plaza
#

it sucks that the whiff is so long, because I think the sleeping bag is a funny move pf

median geyser
#

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

turbid lichen
#

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

median geyser
#

Which I didn't use much...

turbid lichen
#

yeah punch is slim for sure

median geyser
#

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...

turbid lichen
#

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?

median geyser
#

The double pokes I think is okay

#

Although it isn't like T&J trash can slap

turbid lichen
#

double poke is thin hitbox but its deceptively good i feel, maybe ive just been lucky

median geyser
#

The second up poke has larger knockback

turbid lichen
#

hitting both is decent dmg and it keeps him airborne a while

median geyser
#

Which you need to hit the second one

#

Yeah it's fine for me

turbid lichen
#

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

median geyser
#

Yes it's good if you use it correctly

#

But I think it can be dodge fairly easily

turbid lichen
#

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

median geyser
#

Yeah...

#

His neutral grab need a fricking rework btw

turbid lichen
#

haha yeah its bad

median geyser
#

Neutral special grab

#

Worst startup in the game

turbid lichen
#

slow hard to hit and you get hit out of it by their teammate

median geyser
#

It's very good for 1v1 if you land it but still the slow startup is just bad

turbid lichen
#

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

median geyser
#

At the same time, it still needs rework imo

#

Coz it's still bad

turbid lichen
#

all his moves are like, use side air instead

#

yeah for sure

median geyser
#

The neutral axe is okay though

#

It can stop combos fairly easily

turbid lichen
#

yeah its just like when will you hit it

median geyser
#

Yes but still useful tool compare to neutral grab

turbid lichen
#

oh air neutral axe

#

not grounded

#

air axe is good can combo to side air

median geyser
#

No I'm talking about the air neutral axe one

#

Yes that one...

turbid lichen
#

its decent just slow

#

gets counterhit alot

median geyser
#

Bit slow yeah but better than the grab still

turbid lichen
#

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

median geyser
#

It's hard but idt Player First Game will ever do that...

tender ravine
median geyser
turbid lichen
#

yeah faster jab would help and better hitbox on it

tender ravine
median geyser
turbid lichen
#

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

turbid lichen
#

teleport ends up being his confirm kill move

median geyser
tender ravine
west cloak
turbid lichen
#

its not super slow but you cant get it off of jabs so you gotta do it raw

west cloak
#

I find it most useful for catching people at the ledge since it does hit pretty low

turbid lichen
#

yeah it just doesnt hit very high so unless they are hugging ledge its kinda eh

west cloak
#

That’s what I meant

#

Against people recovering low

turbid lichen
#

i feel like he suffers vs people coming in ledge high angle

#

yeah im agreeing

tender ravine
turbid lichen
#

very fun move to land tho

west cloak
#

Axe grab confirms out of jab, but not the neutral attack axe

tender ravine
#

Yessir

#

With his neutral axe There is a very small dodge window

median geyser
west cloak
#

Yeah I never go for it

#

I always do jab jab axe grab or mist

median geyser
#

Another useless move hooray

west cloak
#

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

west cloak
#

I guess that’s also true

elfin fossil
#

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

west cloak
#

But axe throw doesn’t send them very far

west cloak
#

But it’s not that useful in 1v1

elfin fossil
west cloak
#

The only use for sleeping bag is the glitch where if you grab both opponents, one of them just straight up disappears lmao

elfin fossil
west cloak
#

I play both

tender ravine
#

2v2 just overwhelms me

#

It's a lot to pay attention to

west cloak
#

My only real issue with 2v2 is that there are more chances to run into people playing on McDonald’s wifi

turbid lichen
#

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

west cloak
#

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

median geyser
spiral pewter
#

Plus in 2s it's got a long animation so a teammate can piggyback more damage off of it

median geyser
#

I mean it's good if using raw as well

spiral pewter
#

Shouldn't be using it off of jab, if that's the conversation

#

Better options

median geyser
#

It can be used both though

#

It's useful for catching people on platforms

spiral pewter
#

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)

median geyser
#

Yeah

spiral pewter
#

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

median geyser
#

A'ight...

west cloak
spiral pewter
#

If grounded up b is true then sh sair should be too, I think it's faster

west cloak
#

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

spiral pewter
#

Well according to the lab dtilt -> utilt isn't true with no DI

#

But dtilt -> Neutral attack is.

west cloak
#

Yeah it’s only on DI in

spiral pewter
#

Which is... great actually

west cloak
#

If they DI in, jab 1,2 -> dtilt -> utilt -> uair does mad damage

turbid lichen
#

what jab jab d attack neutral attack?

#

big if true

west cloak
#

It’s usually worth going for at ledge at percents where mist won’t kill yet

spiral pewter
#

I'm not confirming dtilt -> utilt even on DI in.

#

What %?

#

I AM getting just straight up jab 1,2 -> utilt though lmao

west cloak
#

Yeah that works too

west cloak
turbid lichen
#

how are you practicing against di’s cause you cant in lab can you?

west cloak
#

Second controller?

spiral pewter
#

If you set the bot to dodge after hitstun they'll di the direction they're planning to dodge

turbid lichen
#

oooohh

#

nice

west cloak
#

How do you know which way they’re planning on dodging tho?

spiral pewter
#

Training mode may be lacking in some things but the bot does actually react fast

#

You can set the direction they dodge

brave bluff
#

What are optimal Jason perk combos

turbid lichen
#

5% 7% speed and melee dmg

#

those 4

west cloak
#

5% signature, and I personally go for snowball effect, last stand, and pugilist

turbid lichen
#

yeah alot go for last stand

west cloak
#

But the 5% movement speed boost for perk 2 is also good

turbid lichen
#

its that or speed the rest are basically non negotiable

west cloak
#

And the dash attack armor break is kinda needed against WW

spiral pewter
#

Everyone has their things. Personally for the disrespect I'm looking into airwalker tech

#

But parrying is super useful on Jason

brave bluff
#

Thanks :D

spiral pewter
#

Maybe the most important character in the game to learn parries on

median geyser
#

You just stand still & press dodge button to parry right?

west cloak
spiral pewter
median geyser
#

Seems tough to do I think

spiral pewter
#

Not particularly when you get used to timings

turbid lichen
#

might be some combo with airwalk neutral attack

west cloak
#

I always expect to immediately continue falling after a successful parry and often miss my punish

turbid lichen
#

axe them mid air

west cloak
#

Need to work on that

spiral pewter
#

I think the easiest timing to learn first is batman grapple

west cloak
#

Yeah it’s pretty consistent

spiral pewter
#

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

west cloak
#

If you go for the risky parry against her bat at the top blast zone, you can kill her even earlier than that

spiral pewter
#

Exactly

west cloak
#

But like if you miss, you’re also probably dead

spiral pewter
#

You're at the top of the blast zone

#

As Jason

#

Vs a Harley

#

You were already dead

west cloak
#

True lol

spiral pewter
#

I think parries are going to be meta-defining

#

Esp for tanks

west cloak
#

Yeah

spiral pewter
#

The important thing is knowing the best option to punish a parry with

#

For a reverse juggle ALWAYS up special

west cloak
#

He doesn’t even need parry lmao

spiral pewter
#

IG also has an infinite and got banned from certain tournaments yesterday

#

He doesn't count

west cloak
#

I know

#

I ran into someone a day or two ago who was playing IG fishing for the infinite and had an EVO badge

spiral pewter
#

lmaooo

west cloak
#

I won 2-0

#

With Shaggy tho, not Jason

spiral pewter
#

Yeah that tracks lol

west cloak
#

Even with the infinite, Shaggy debatably goes even if not wins the matchup imo

spiral pewter
#

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

west cloak
#

And a tip for anyone encountering people spamming IG infinite, DI up and you can sometimes avoid the second hit of nair and escape

spiral pewter
#

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

west cloak
#

How long is it true for?

spiral pewter
#

Well I performed it at 0

#

So

west cloak
#

Oh lol

spiral pewter
#

With this kind of game the safe answer is "reasonably long" lmao

west cloak
#

Alright

spiral pewter
#

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

median geyser
#

Man I just got bodied by Gizmo & idk what to do

spiral pewter
#

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

median geyser
#

Typical characters that can do multiple attacks that stun you is worst matchups

spiral pewter
#

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

turbid lichen
#

start putting this in a spreadsheet so we can post in bulk and pin it

spiral pewter
#

And then you have Gizmo

spiral pewter
#

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

spiral pewter
#

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

turbid lichen
#

no why would it

median geyser
#

This game often feels very competitive at times... idk if I should be playing & getting miserable with how low tier Jason is...

devout burrow
#

Jason is the best character in the game what are you talking about

spiral pewter
#

Hoo that's gotta be one of his best and most practical combos in the game

median geyser
#

Mages negged the worst Tank in the game, no doubt

#

Is Gizmo a mage? I forgot

spiral pewter
#

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

sour radish
median geyser
spiral pewter
median geyser
spiral pewter
#

It's DI dependant

devout burrow
sour radish
devout burrow
#

in just a little bit tho

#

I need to take a shower lul I stink

median geyser
#

Even unranked matches

spiral pewter
#

Including and especially Jason players

sour radish
#

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

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

median geyser
sour radish
#

He has kill potential but good luck getting a hit off

devout burrow
#

simply be better than good players

#

and murder them back

median geyser
devout burrow
#

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

spiral pewter
#

@sour radish Eh screw it, depending on who you play I'm down for some 1s

sour radish
#

mages, bg, harley, ww, shaggy, batman all shd on jason

devout burrow
#

I'm 1000% down for 1s

devout burrow
#

no matter what

spiral pewter
#

Out of all those

sour radish
#

I don’t play any of those actually

spiral pewter
#

BG and Harley are the only two that outright body Jason

devout burrow
#

tbh I've stopped struggling against most of those chars atp

median geyser
#

I don't think the devs gonna buff Voorhees anytime soon... I can tell... coz he's still in such bad state rn...

spiral pewter
#

What do you mean "still"

#

There hasn't been a balance patch

#

But also

#

He's not that bad

median geyser
median geyser
sour radish
lapis mist
#

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

spiral pewter
#

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

median geyser
lapis mist
#

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

spiral pewter
#

And against "mages" he goes even against anyone with a projectile if you perk loadout correctly

sour radish
spiral pewter
#

We can run that

sour radish
#

Cool

spiral pewter
#

I think Joker's only -1 for Jason

lapis mist
sour radish
#

lol

#

you guys think if they buffed everyone’s speed jason would be more viable

lapis mist
#

plus his jab is weak. he needs a good jab

spiral pewter
#

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

lapis mist
#

whats your point?

spiral pewter
#

It's just such a mimicked opinion that means nothing beyond its surface contribution to the conversation

sour radish
#

well he’s right in the sense his neutral moves are a bit lacking

#

and his aerial moves are stronger

spiral pewter
#

Neutral doesn't simply involve attacking

sour radish
#

i think his mist move is an underrated startup

spiral pewter
#

Anyway less schmuh duh duh more duh duh duh.

lapis mist
spiral pewter
#

His jab is- firstly- not a TERRIBLE whiff punish, which is better than half the cast's jabs.

#

Secondly

lapis mist
#

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

spiral pewter
#

His nair's a good whiff punish which combos into jab

devout burrow
#

I really don't even think it's very helpful to commiserate about the character

devout burrow
spiral pewter
#

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?

lapis mist
#

im not complaining. i dont play the character. im just stating facts

devout burrow
spiral pewter
#

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

devout burrow
#

it might be that I'm hitting the early part of nair

#

the lab isn't a very reliable way to test things apparently

lapis mist
devout burrow
#

the bots are terrible

devout burrow
spiral pewter
#

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 🤷‍♂️

devout burrow
#

it's not entirely accurate

#

testing combos in this game is

#

obnoxious

median geyser
#

I like doing jab, jab then stomp & bed

spiral pewter
#

If this isn't coming from a former T100 player, or Nakat, or Void.

#

No offense I don't believe it

lapis mist
#

lol

sour radish
#

lol

devout burrow
#

well I tested a combo I thought was real (mist step jab) into a dodging player

#

and it

#

did not work

lapis mist
#

well just wait for the pros to tell you exactly what i tell you

spiral pewter
#

Who told you mist step jab was true anyway? It's definitely not replicatable in lab

devout burrow
#

I was able to get it in the lab

#

with dodging cpu

spiral pewter
#

Just "dodge after hitstun"?

devout burrow
#

dodge random after hitstun

#

seemed to work on all DI if you reacted

spiral pewter
#

Hard difficulty cpu? Replicated exactly how you performed it in training in your match

haughty gazelle
#

Recommended perk set?

spiral pewter
#

With the same positioning and percents

devout burrow
#

ye

#

tho it was against iron giant

#

instead of shaggy

#

which may influence it

spiral pewter
#

In training or in match?

devout burrow
#

in match

spiral pewter
#

Yeah then it wouldn't perform the same

#

Tanks passively take less damage

#

Used to be anyway

lapis mist
devout burrow
devout burrow
#

cause jab12 miststep doesn't seem to be true on him

#

when it is true on

#

literally everyone els

spiral pewter
#

I posted the reason

devout burrow
#

have to go directly from jab 1

#

well it works on other tanks

#

is the issue

lapis mist
devout burrow
#

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

spiral pewter
#

Also jab 1-2 if you aren't tight on it can be DI'd out of mist-step range

devout burrow
#

yes depending on range or whatever I know

spiral pewter
#

But I've gotten jab 1,2 into mist step on IG before

devout burrow
#

on IG is literally just doesn't seem to function

spiral pewter
#

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

devout burrow
#

I mean

#

mist step combos into uair yes

#

this is in fact true

spiral pewter
#

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

devout burrow
#

I just got out of the shower lul

#

HootsforceArise @sour radish @spiral pewter whoever's playing

spiral pewter
#

Sent

devout burrow
#

poggies

tender ravine
#

I did the impossible

#

I beat a WW

spiral pewter
#

Guess I didn't remove that one lmao

devout burrow
#

should probably get that one outta here

spiral pewter
#

Is there a stage list somewhere yet?

devout burrow
#

I'm unsure

#

I don't think there's a uniform stage set for tourneys yet

spiral pewter
#

Well everything left should be fine anyway

#

Something I never considered in the ditto is how good jab 2 anti airs

devout burrow
#

the ditto is really funny

#

do you see why I have the opinions I do on this character now

spiral pewter
#

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

devout burrow
#

ye

spiral pewter
#

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

devout burrow
#

did you burn your recoveries on accident lul

spiral pewter
#

I shouldn't have, I touched wall

#

Idk

devout burrow
#

touching wall doesn't reset them methinks

#

only ground

#

or am I thinking of dodges

#

ok I'm wrong lul

spiral pewter
#

Okay that glitch is ticking me off so badly

devout burrow
#

which one

#

one the uhh

#

not going into mist step

spiral pewter
#

If you airdodge on the ground right after a charged attack you airdodge forward

#

See?

devout burrow
#

oh ye

#

that blast zone is very close to the edge

spiral pewter
#

I've noticed lmao

#

So if mansion is on the stage list absolutely pick it as Jason lol

devout burrow
#

maybe

#

cromulons is also really good

spiral pewter
#

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

devout burrow
#

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

spiral pewter
#

Mm

#

Okay

devout burrow
#

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

spiral pewter
#

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

devout burrow
#

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

spiral pewter
#

More than Jason? No. Better than Jason? Well, probably Gizmo cause he was my most played in Beta.

devout burrow
#

I played like

#

25 hours of the beta

#

almost all on harley with some batman

spiral pewter
#

I'm also level five with all 12 of my characters lol

#

Except Jason who's 9

devout burrow
#

I have spent the past weekend grinding jason

#

and jason alone

#

in my about 20 hours of gameplay I'm level 10 with him

haughty gazelle
#

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

devout burrow
#

I think he works well with almost everything but ime he works best with the usual suspects like ww and banana guard

#

harley too

spiral pewter
#

Okay that 6 dair edge guard

devout burrow
#

there we go

spiral pewter
#

Was something we should address

devout burrow
#

yea you were in fatigue

spiral pewter
#

Oh I know but I was SCREAMING lol

devout burrow
#

you were probably just dead

#

if I didn't make a mistake

spiral pewter
#

Yeah I gotta remove that stage too

devout burrow
#

yea

#

that stage is

#

a little cringe

spiral pewter
#

Much better

devout burrow
#

also why do you have push the advantage on instead of snowball effect

spiral pewter
#

I was just thinking about that between matches lol

devout burrow
#

stocks should be ending before 125

#

like idk

spiral pewter
#

Yeah you've kinda opened my eyes on that.

devout burrow
#

have you just been trying to chip people out at like 150 this whole time lul

spiral pewter
#

GOD no lmao

#

Just sometimes the matches go that long

#

And I hate Rage

devout burrow
#

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

spiral pewter
#

Sorry, I tilted first stock when the game dodge jumped me the exact opposite direction I inputted

devout burrow
#

whoops

#

yea the game seems to have issues with dodge inputs sometimes

spiral pewter
#

After I was waiting with extreme patience to go in when you had no stamina it reversed my dodge jump

devout burrow
#

sometimes I dodge forward and my character does a little dodge back

#

it's weird

spiral pewter
#

Like WHY lmao

devout burrow
#

ye

river token
#

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?

west cloak
river token
west cloak
#

Yeah he’s best paired with one of those “hold down the neutral for me” characters

river token
#

i.e. he's bad

west cloak
#

I mean, kinda yeah

#

He’s fun tho

river token
#

listen I'm a Jason main but my boy is low tier

river token
west cloak
#

In 1v1 he’s definitely bottom 5

river token
#

He's so slow, such bad normals, everything is INCREDIBLY punishable

haughty gazelle
#

I don't care if someone is bad I just want fun

spiral pewter
#

I've never seen a person who loved his character's sair so much that the sair actually loved him back

west cloak
#

I haven’t played him as much in 2v2 to make a concrete opinion

river token
#

I think he's the lowest character who isn't entirely bereft of function

west cloak
devout burrow
#

I take care of them

spiral pewter
#

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"

river token
#

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

haughty gazelle
#

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)_/¯

river token
#

BOLD to say Jason is actually a tank

#

He's a bruiser without any of the mobility

#

He's just a slow bruiser imo

west cloak
#

Velma is definitive bottom 1 tho

#

They removed every one of her good tools

river token
#

I haven't tried him admittedly since I was in the understanding he just wasn't of any worth in 1s

haughty gazelle
#

I just bought Gizmo because I needed a gremlins character and I flipped a coin

river token
#

And I mostly play 1s

west cloak
#

Watch Nakat play Gizmo to see how cracked he can be

spiral pewter
#

BRO WHAT IS THIS LOL

devout burrow
spiral pewter
#

Literally tho

west cloak
river token
#

Alr

spiral pewter
#

Gizmo's been sleeper SINCE release

river token
#

I could've sworn there was a mage that just wasn't functional in 1s

spiral pewter
#

He was S tier on launch and so few people understood it that he got buffed lmao

devout burrow
#

I think Jason is quite decent

river token
#

Like none of their stuff worked

west cloak
#

Is Velma considered a mage now? Is so it’s her lol

river token
#

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.

haughty gazelle
river token
#

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.

west cloak
river token
#

Especially with the fact Finn is just Jason but better

west cloak
#

Finn players have been finding some crazy conversions

#

He’s still really good

river token
#

He's insane

west cloak
#

He just actually has to play disadvantage now because he doesn’t have gem

river token
#

He's another character who's hitboxes feel... incorrect too.

west cloak
#

Taz has the stubbiest range in the game

river token
#

Like I can see the gap between my body and Finn's hits. Same with Banana Guard

devout burrow
west cloak
#

If that’s who you’re thinking of

devout burrow
#

and your range is good enough to restrict options

river token
#

Problem is everything is so slow to come out that most buttons just beat Jason's... everything

west cloak
#

Yeah Jason kinda needs to parry against mashers or he just loses

river token
#

It's especially bad with stuff like Arya

west cloak
#

At least against the smart mashers

#

Not the dumb ones like Shaggy kick spammers

river token
oak crane
#

Jason was an amazing inclusion and it makes me want more Horror representation with

Freddy Krueger and Michael Myers

river token
#

Myers isn't a WB IP

#

Freddy is though so yk.

oak crane
river token
river token
#

We'll probably only see 3rd party stuff once the huge list of likely WB IP stuff starts running dry

spiral pewter
#

Omg lol

#

Okay well ggs

haughty gazelle
river token
#

If the game lives that long

spiral pewter
#

I gotta go take care of some stuff while my roommate is out

#

But that was fun!

haughty gazelle
#

They could add Mortal Kombat before that

devout burrow
spiral pewter
#

And I definitely learned a lot

devout burrow
#

alright awesomesauce

#

ggs then

river token
oak crane
river token
#

But I really specifically want Freddy and Ash lmao

haughty gazelle
#

Same especially when Wonder Woman is trying to be Scorpion with some of her lines

devout burrow
#

but like

#

jason is a decent character

river token
#

I don't think so

devout burrow
#

you get punished really hard for making a mistake

#

but like

#

you shoul

river token
#

He's not as completely bereft of use as Velma is for example, but he's not close to good

haughty gazelle
turbid lichen
#

they def will go with more horror stuff, they dont have horror as a whole rift theme for nothing

grand tangle
#

I feel like I'm a punching bag that won't die when I'm playing Jason

west cloak
#

Basically yeah

#

Jason I think Jason is the second heaviest character behind Iron Giant

#

And he’s big

grand tangle
#

Really sucks though cause most matches I can't do ANYTHING

west cloak
#

Yeah he’s basically the Ganondorf of Multiversus

#

Big, slow movement, slow frame data, but hits really hard

elfin fossil
#

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

west cloak
#

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

civic coral
#

why are jason's signature perks so bad

knotty knoll
elfin fossil
#

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

ocean vale
#

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

elfin fossil
#

I've up specialed a charging horse Jake and he gets hit out of horse but I get hit out of grabbing him

visual sail
#

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

ocean vale
#

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 ?!

visual sail
#

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

ocean vale
#

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
