#Jason
1 messages · Page 8 of 1
got 80 or sum
i use them a lot
i never toast ppl not even my buddy that i play with cuz i forget
lmao
i warn ya my lebron has seen 10 minutes of time on the field
also im sad i wiffed the kill conform on the wall string
Honestly i ve barely played anyone since rejoining multiversus, just been existing on jason
yea same
i know so many of my flaws but its very difficult to get rid of
i know that most of my dodges are extremly readable
same lol
i panic far too much when im about to die
esp of the top
couldve killed you like 2 times but i wanted to be cool
smh
i do it in friendlies, like this
not online tho
custom jason combos are really fun haha
im not abusing my balls enough
actually i nevert checked how many wins i have on jason
not a lot ig
just 2 idiots now knowing what their character does
my ball is just fading your head damn
alright ive got to go for now
aight
we can play again sometime soon tho
Oh I forgot that one exists
Holy hell, i got a good leaderboard. I was at #6 last night, now i'm only at #7.
Jason mains rise!
im still number 1
but there is 1 guy that has been playing nonstop for like 10 hours about to overtake me
That's boutta be me.
Top 1 here is 10k, and i'm at 5k.
my top 1 is now at 22k
im at 18k or smth
ill be happy with silver then, gold is too much of a grind
that guy literally has no life
What do you guys think the worst jason matchup is
Harley, Batman or Finn.
Any combo-heavy fast character tbh.
I would consider them all 9-1.
Yeah I feel like it has to be gizmo
I think Jake is actually one of his worst matchups tbh
Feel like jake is free ngl
I always struggle against jake
Haven't lost to a single joker or Harley yet
For me his 3 worst matchups are like gizmo wonder woman Black Adam Jake
I used to think LeBron was really bad but I fought a guy who's probably the best LeBron rn and I feel like it's actually even
On paper it seems like it should be one of his worst matchups straight up
Bron has hella combos and you're a big target that's easy to hit balls on
But with careful spacing and a lot of down special you can start to find gaps in his defense and once you get in on him his disadvantage is really bad
And Jason is really good at exploiting his bad disadvantage
With the recent lebron nerf it's probably even easier to beat him now
That nerf basically only affected the Jason matchup for actual good lebrons
At least in any significant way
I definitely have
Ill take your word for it
Holy mother of god, i just played a Joker that i killed at 80% by comboing from 20%, then he gave up and sd'd twice.
I wish i recorded this.
Jason can kill so early if he's allowed to
It's great
Especially with Airwalker
tbf tho everyone can with airwalker
Being in burnout vs Jason has to be the scariest thing in this game
I basically did jab jab side special into normal side air, then he fell into another one of my teleports and i just air up specialed him.
It was so satisfying.
Unless you're black Adam then you can just fly away until your meter is back
NO ESCAPE NO ESCAPE NO ESCAPE
And Jason is too slow to catch him
or just have a faster walk speed than crawl
True I'll just do that
sorry i meant you can kinda escape jason by just running away since he walks so much slower than most of the cast
Oh true
There's only so far most characters can run though
Black Adam can just go super far off stage or super high into the sky with complete air control and no worries about his air resources
im slowly starting to think that ba might be jasons worst matchuo
along with wonder woman
i asked in the ba char channel for a 1v1 since i need the mu experience
but everytime i play against a ba i just feel so useless
His advantage state is crazy with how good his aerial drift is with up b
nah its morty and not even close
but BA is like top 3 worst imo
a good morty can just completely stop you from playing the game whatsoever
thank god im not alone with that
Morty’s dirt has such an insane glow up due to the slower speed
dirt and grenades are just so hard to play against
and morty is so damn fast that kid is on crack
@tacit pivot Bro is comitted to playing this bad character lol
I suspected as much
ofc
but there's probably something we aren't getting
when we did a 1v1 i just played him for like 2 days
black adam is very annoying
but now i actually got some good results already
I'm planning on doing well at this tourney today
that has like
100 ish players I think
arya has randomly felt kind of hard actually
partly because she's so tiny that combos sometimes just don't work on her
Most of the player were probably terrible lol
but like
if I play really really really lame
against arya
it does feel like she struggles
nah
nobody terrible really joins tournaments on a third party website
you gotta be commited to go that extra step usually
nobody casual cares enoughz
people typically don't spend their time going to online tournaments if they don't think they'll do well
online tournaments are a gigantic waste of time if you aren't good
because they aren't even fun
they're all miserable
yep
besides , i cant stand superman
I would never in my life consider going to an online smash tourney
call it a john if you want but that character is the opposite of fun to me
because that would be miserable if I didn't get in the money
it's a classic example of a matchup that's actually just fine but god do I never ever wanna see that character
armor on half his moves, a command grab with a massive hitbox while you fly through the air, attacks where you get hit 10 dif times each hit dealing like 1%
i dont even think superman is that good
but his entire kit feels like its designed to piss you off
its so annoying to fight
why does every tank get the priviglege of super armor but jason doesnt
and i guess iron giant doesnt either but he has too much bs to worry about armor
sure but why do i have to deal damage to myself for something other tanks get for free
also it just vanishes after you attack
kinda have to play passive with it
yea
but I really don't think rage mode is like
even the worst thing about him
not by a long shot
yea it def isnt
I'm sort of fine with it having the downsides it does
because like
it actually just deletes most of jason's flaws while it's active
Jason probably needs a rework
sure as hell aint fixing hitboxes tho
but 1v1s are probbaly not their main balance concern
I mean putting armor on your startup is actually pretty close lul
at least Jason has tank weight, steven may have on demand armor but man does he have to play passive
Barely
The kill power of up airs is so high right now EVERYONE dies at 100
tank weight or not
Its very non balanced currently
like
honestly
if jason had like
marginally less startup on jabs
he would be perfect
to be fair steven was never a tank
he used to be a support but that class doesnt exist anymore
jab startup is just
so they just slapped tank on him
so abysmal
it's meant to be a whiff punish tool
but it can't punish anything
other than movement
no that would imply they care about him at all, his default says mage but all his skins say tank
tank tank heal tank or something idk
like
actually nah wait ur right wtf
I really don't think jason is bad
he also is the only character without a tooniverse skin
why doesnt it
bc they dont care about steen
or his series
its actually pathetic
thats just the start of the mistreatment of steven in this game
in every promo hes in he has something wrong with his mouth or just looks really weird in general
all his skins have different skin tones and some sort of issue with the mouth
he felt awful in the beta
didnt even bother to get someone who sounded even slightly like Zach Callison like they did for Lebron, the Gremlins, etc.
Garnet's whole personality is "I sang Stronger than You"
and Steven's is "I'm a little kid"
its a good show with a slow season 1 and a rushed ending but theres a good reason it got 5 seasons
it's tragic how little respect they have for that show lul
im just starting to get so bored of this game 💀
no ranked, no communication, lazy events
it's like they based the SU characters on the video essays calling it bad
Play a character that doesnt suck
or just play something else
jason doesn't suck first of all
second of all
He does
i wouldve played somebody else if i didnt like jason
yea the complete lack of communication sucks
they based Steven on the fact hes 12 years old and Garnet on the fact she sang "Stronger than You"
yea
garnet isn't a real character
she's a gem, gems are lesbians, lesbians are gay, gays aren't people
therefore not real
oh god someone is going to tag a mod and I'm going to die
most sane jason player comment
no she's 2 lesbians in a trench coat
oh yea I forgot about that
I'm quite possibly the least sane jason player
I believe in this character way too much
oh yeah also steven's moveset uses moves he canonically shouldnt know based on the version in game
I mean does that part really matter
it kinda does when every other character uses moves they at least solely visually should be able to use
that makes sense
@mods
comparing joker and jason
mods, crush his skull, thank you
Joker is overtuned like crazy because its built for this game speed
joker's dam crowbar is gonna make me go insane
but hes not broken like Harley
why are all of jokers moves so disgustingly disjointed but jasons arent
jason doesnt have a single disjointed move im pretty sure
because people think that joker is just like them fr and love the joker
jason is an old man
so he gets physically hurt when you kick his machete?
and Jason hasnt had a movie since 2009
ngl i think its smarter for them to not show hitboxes
I would like to be able to make educated claims
they sure dont
street fighter hitboxes
SHOW BUGS UP AIR HITBOX 😡
which would look a little weird
but I mean like
giving players more information is always a good thing
it's honestly my biggest problem with the game rn
I HATE CHARACTERS WITH BATS I HATE CHARACTERS WITH BATS
is that we know literally nothing about it
bro hates morrigan so much
i wonder why the devs wouldnt want people to see hitboxes
it's more than likely because they still see the game as "casual"
i remember during the beta a leaker managed to get a hitbox viewer
in that case how did we get smash hitboxes
i hate how many hitboxes seem to catch you behind the opponent. commonly seen with jab strings on harley/joker/WW
which is super fair
someone datamined them
ah
didnt the devs say (at least in the beta) that they wanted to officially help competitive, which is why they had a tourney at EVO?
i would be surprised if they dont, they have people like ajax and nakat on their team
ofc they want it to be comp
this is super common for platform fighters because of the fact that, if the hitboxes weren't a bit larger behind than they "should" be, then they would often miss when they should hit
its totally bc they dont want us to see their bias in balancing
the amount of times ive been hit by moves that havent even visually begun swinging yet
or something stupid about how it's more fun to discover it
shaggy was the worst offender, bro would clench his fist and you'd be hit
omg
beta shaggy was a menace
you guys don't understand how much hatred I had for that character
he'd pull back his fist
i played steven i totally get it
i miss the wave stomping
I think they actually buffed him
in the first beta patch
in a similar way that they nerfed taz
nah i think they nerfed him first
yeah i think it was the Watermelon cd nerf
they nerfed taz's one good move
without giving him other ones
that's when I decided that the game wasn't worth playing
bc the dev team is just outright incompetent
as gay lesbian amethyst i feel cracked
how in gods name is jason meant to fight morty, like jesus christ man
not a surprise, the only people playing morty are 24/7 sweats so you'd already have a hard time with someone like that with any character
let alone jason
Every other character I can at least fight and hold my own and if I lose I can identify something I did wrong but against Morty there is really just nothing we can do
I guess this is what I get for playing MVS version of ganondorf
its fun but everyone else seems to be much better
why must it be this way
Joker, Black Adam, Gizmo, Harley, wonder woman all feel like I can beat if I just play better but playing against a good Morty is just pure despair there is no amount of skill that can overcome that matchup
pretty much all those characters I can do nothing about because the people playing those characters seem to ONLY play those characters
which I guess look whos talking me with jason as my highest leveled but blehhh
6 and a half hours later, i'm still top 5. This is a great leaderboard.
Still playing only Jason.
So first try using jason
And I feel so slow
I been a bLcl adam main for a while so it seems I need to adjust to not having my insane mobility
*black
I started with Jason, so every other character feels giga-fast for me, lmfao.
He's a very read focused character which makes him very satisfying to play
It's gotta be so scary to fight Jason because you know one bad dodge or wrong move or burnout can just be a death sentence for you
God i have no idea how to fight Shaggy.
Hm so basically don't be the one Initiating the offense and wait for them to come at me
Playing like ig I assume
Not necessarily it kinda depends on the matchup
Yea I assume against the slower cast u can come in to strike
But the faster ones u gotta wait
Air down special is a really powerful approach tool and using rage to get in people's faces is really good
Ooo ic
I also like to use dash jump nair as an approach sometimes it can catch people off guard how quick you move with it
When should I go for jab jab into bed?
Got to #4. Stopping for today, but the grind continues.
I personally do it when i teleport behind someone and they whiff a move.
How do u hit jerry
Stomp I assume? Because this damn Tom kept juggling me with paddle
Could not get the jerry
1-1 in the friends tourney
lost to a bugs r1
beat gizmo
it'll be fine I'll just make the losers run
i got dqed in winners cuz i forgot lmfao
im 3-1 now
i probably couldve had a winners run ngl
now im playing against taz and i dont know the matchup so this could be kinda bad
Me but with Batman.
nvm its against a marvin player, thats way worse
ive got 150 hours in the game and i havent seen a single marvin
this is super bad
probably losing here
DQ is my fav fast food place
Why not ask the Marvin centered channel
He'll get very angry. Very angry indeed
no time to pull it up, already in champ select
besides, that channel is probably dead
Ic
Nah theres people talking
currently losing to rick because I don't know how the character functions
this is my first time fighting rick
i just 2stocked the marvin
but uh
i dont know what he did to me
also my first time fighting marvin
I'm 0-1 vs rick
Marvin has a lot of projectiles
I’ve only faced two of them ever. One was terrible and I beat him easy. The other was insanely cracked and I got destroyed
i also won
won 2-0 against the marvin
now 4-1
total
my only loss being a DQ
cuz im dumb
I'm very sad about my loss to bugs
I threw really hard
I'm technically 3-1 tho
cause I had a DQ
kinda ye
but i dont know if i can win against a wonder women
its a really difficult matchup
imo
what bracket are u in btw
pool*
what
ye
wait
oh I knew a DTM
he was in fact german
hm
my opponent is a minute away from DQing
prayging
oh he was roping it kek
poggies
next match is either superman or t&j
What tournament is this?
this
he is in pool 4, im in pool 2
im currently waiting for my match, a t&j and superman are fighting it out
dont wanna play against either tbh
and hes fighting a joekr
joker
Quite a lot of DQs
always
I missed some confirms and punishes vs joker
i got dq'ed round 1 cuz im an idiot
I happened to be the lucky person to have a DQ r1 losers
and then someone's internet went out
mid-tourney
and I happened to get that guy
as his internet went out
so like
by games I went 2-2
but I probably would have won those games anyway
so it's fine
I'm so sad about throwing vs joker and bugs
I just decided to take really bad approaches
at times where I knew it wouldn't work
but I got desperate
cause I was mega terrified of losing
I need to check the ego and stop thinking about what if I lose
because I know that the real answer if what if I lose is basically nothing
I guarantee
if I had taken
2 more correct paths
I would have like
guaranteed won vs the joker
god now i need to take a sht
I know
whatever
I've needed to use the bathroom since 10m before the tourney started lul
been just powering through
I really just need to like
play the game a lot more
and polish the mistakes out
learn some matchups
because god knows that casual matchmaking won't let me do that
won the first game, but again really fcking close
just win it
ye
it'll be obnoxious tho
if you play it correct it'll be free
idk i got like 0 mu knowledge
dont put the pressure on me haha
ill make it work tho
oh yea
that happened to me vs the rick
that was fcking nuts
I got deleted first game
then I almost brought it back
but afterwards I actually stomped on his balls 2 games in a row
lost the second game last stock last hit
so close
i cannot stand that char
i lost 1-2
that character requires zero fcking skill
more braindead than finn or banana guard
literally made for toddlers
spam moves and win anyways cuz u get priviliges other characters dont
that fcker told me "jason is slow, idk how u beat superman"
god i hate when i ask people for advice on the mu and all they tell me is "idk bro"
like u play the char for 300 hours straight u gotta know something
character built to piss you off
not the worst mu, but by far the least fun oen
i went 5-2 tho, i guess it couldve been worse
still annoying i have to lose to that character of all things
this was literally my entire 3500 hour experience playing DK in ult
it sucked
it's fine because ape together strong
true
-> 25th out of 177
-> 5th out of 20
-> 17th out of 126
-> 25th out of 128
thats my recent results
not too bad i suppose
just a start tho
my current only result is 33rd of 177
planning in getting more that are better
I will be one of the best to ever touch this video game
Consider the perk that gives your dash armor breaking
It might help
it's honestly not worth the slot
you'd literally be better off whiff punishing his armored moves anyway
I prefer pugilist too, but if its a struggle I could see that helping
raw damage numbers are typically better
oh my god yeah, so many times my moves just, straight up go through a guy
Gizmo is insanely good
He’s really small, moves decently fast, has fairly disjointed attacks for a character of his size, and has surprisingly decent kill power
His up attack is wild
His up b is also active for like the entire animation
And don’t even bother trying to challenge his parasol
Is there a jason server for learning combos and such?
There is I'll dm it to you since I can't post the link here
wait
there is???
also I've figured out the arya matchup
the answer is the jump button
almost everything arya has that's scary is a grounded option or something that otherwise doesn't cover the air very well
to be able to deal with you empty hopping with armor she has to catch a landing
her aerials are too weak to deal with it
avoiding dagger is also very important
I thought character discords were literally just a smash thing lul
God I love how Jason feels
when he hits
and then reality comes crashing back down when I fight a Harley LOL
I just got a pretty cool win against a Harley lol. I KO'd her with the same sleeping bag setup 2x in a row.
You'd think by now people would know that jab doesnt combo into sleeping bag.
ooooh got a clip?
I'd post it, but it's on my YT and idk what the rule is for self promo on this server
damn, that's alright
I think I'm starting to understand Jason...
His hitboxes at least
Gotta really know your spacing with him
@rapid cargo I just checked the rules and it doesn't seem like there is anything against self-promo. So check #clips I guess.
sick clip man
Thanks
The weapon hits are very satisfying tbh
Especially you do double pokes in the air
You hear these smooth blade hitting
Honestly his hitboxes are pretty garbage
Some even bugged
SUPER satisfying
im gettin a little neat with him ngl
Gotta definitely face more Harleys though
also
i might be extremly skill issued in the mu
but how can everybody say that taz is dogsht
he has multiple loops, attacks where he is literally invincible with ginormous hitboxes, can turn you into a chicken if done right for like 10 fcking seconds or something
that character is so overtuned
why does literally everybody say that hes ass
he isn't ass
i dont think he has great neutral though
but his advantage is super strong
one of my machete attacks went straight through harley's brain and didnt connect
yeah harleys hitbox is uh, janky to say the least
did anyone else here know that teleport doesn't consume rage
even if you hit someone with it
you keep the gray health after
yes
figured out day1
how useful is the rage really
yeah rage is super important
i can't believe it took me this long to realize
rage is a saving grace in some matchups but useless in others
its so nice
armoring through an attack to knock someone offstage with side special then being offstage with them while still in rage is crazy good
Rage doesnt consume on miststep?
that seems
alright?
i mean makes sense ig jason doesnt actually attack in the move
I love this damn character.
So i was playing a Harley that was up 2-0 on me. I hit her with down air into up air into air up special.
Killed at 80.
She then jumped off stage twice.
Damn, you killed their soul!
This happened yesterday too.
Just happened again against a Morty, lmfao.
Started t-bagging after he rung me out, so i had to knock some sense.
i swear at this point people are sabotaging me in 2s
i play it like every once in a while and everytime the teammate is afk or jumps off the map 4 times
How is Jason better at 1s?
He's easily bodied in 1s
sounds like a skill issue
i do think jason is better in 2s but hes not as bad as people say he is in 1s
He's easily bodied with many S Tier Characters dude?
You need to work 5x harder as Jason in order to win 1s really & plus he's buggy as hell
every character is buggy currently
and you do need to work harder but you are massively blowing it out of proportion
I'm not sure about other characters but for Jason he's some noticeable amount of bugs
every char is
???
It isn't but Jason isn't fully baked
ik
Also idk if you checked out my video yet but feel free to say out what things I need to cook on
sure i will in a bit
my point stands tho, i think jason needs buffs, and i dont think hes that good rn, but you were blowing out of proportion how much more work you need to put in as jason
i currently have a 70% winrate over 230 or so games with jason only, while nearly 80% of those games were against the top 7 or so chars of the game, that being joker, harley, ww, gizmo and so on
hes not easily bodied if you know what you are doing
where is your video tho
tbf im pretty sure jason is better in 1s
I mean, getting comboed by 1 character is bad enough, now imagine 2 at the same time.
yeah less chance to DI when your getting combo'd in 2 directions
but also if jason has a good teammate to get him out of combos and protect him hes a lot scarier
Probably my favorite character in the game to play
If only he wasn't the size of a Punch-Out!! opponent
i seariously don't undestand why give him hurtboxes on his weapons when they should be disjointed
against harley or anyone with a lingering hittbox u can't even counter em if they do immediate attack
bro
I just got deleted by harley in bracket
bc I like
am not warmed up at all and this man actually just looped me to death lul
I'm still in losers
it's kind of annoying that both tourneys I've been to I've been knocked to losers r1
oh yea
nvm its against a marvin
rough
i lost both games but it was pretty close
im surprised how well im doing against marv considering i genuinely dont know half his moveset
he had 3k wins too
told me im the best jason hes seen smh
the ego going through the roof with this one
u won?
also i really dont care about this tourney no matter what placement i get
because this isnt seeded at all
they told me too
you could get 5th as a bad player and 150th as a mediocre player
it just szucks
i just won against the harley tho in losers
i play against either gizmo or harley, depending on who wins
man these brackets are misserable
corny goofy characters all around
you get a dq win if you win against the arya
the guy in front of you isnt there
that's really funny
I know
it's been so slow
I think it's cause the TO didn't split the tourney up into pools
so it's loading a lot more than it "should"
this website is about to get me DQ;d
yea i cant do anything either
try restarting your browser
and quick
you have like 2m
my r1 loss is currently 4-0 rn
so I am
a little less upset about it
im losing this
this gizmo is spamming arrow and i genuinely dont know what to do against it
nah im not even going to play the second game
for the sake of my own mental health
that might have been the least fun i have ever had in this game
i just dont understand how you can pick someone like gizmo, spam arrow and be proud of yourself
how does that guy look in the mirror and doesnt throw up at the sight of himself
its beyond me
I'm unsure how bad gizmo is for jason because I've just not played against a lot of gizmo and I've just beaten every gizmo I've fought
lul
I played against a gizmo last night and he was literally like
raging at jason
it was hilarious
i had no clue they werent going to seed it until it wwas too late
got 25th so its not embarassing at least
im swapping to sf6 for now
cant deal with the current state of mv rn
I don't have sf6 sadge
I would play sf6 dhalsim so much
that character looks very fun
top tiers in multiversus feels so much stronger than any top tier in any other game
its unbearable
god
he will never know the horrors of playing against sf4 seth
or SF2 claw lul
this game is far more balanced than I am used to
alright I'm against swaggy
here's to potentially getting 17th
more balanced than unbalanced games does not equal balanceds
this game is still in an awful state
ill wait until patches come out cuz im genuinely not having fun playing this game rn
SONIC BOOM
LOOOOOOL
parry reflect perk?
that perk should be base parry behaviour ngl
I prefer the walk shield perk over the reflect one
Consistency is king but I mean if you're a god at somehow reacting to the speed of gizmo arrows then you're simply cracked
Ngl I definitely agree with you about the state of the game
You should def join me on my quest to make solid points with complaints into the gamefeedback channel
i agree. it would make much more sense considering you dont really get a benefit from parrying a projectile vs dodgeing it. Melee gets a hitstun and projectiles should be reflected
Parrying a projectile without the parry reflect perk is actually detrimental
You’re just put into lag and nothing happens to the opponent
Parrying a projectile close range will literally get you punished
Which goes against the entire idea of parry
That's why Rivals of Aether's parry 🔛🔝
Jason's rage shouldn't drop on a wiff, ngl
I've been able to catch some people in UpS axe grab loops at low percents, and I'm getting real good at bagging people, but beyond that, nah
does jason kill the earliest out of the entire cast?
I just wish it wasn’t beaten by armor breaking moves. It’s not even armor!
one problem also with jason rage is the max gray health is gives is like 20
some moves uncharged just straight up do 20 damage
Exactly!
Yeah, it should be more, especially because you lose it even if you don't get hit after a single attack. It should give more and only vanish on a confirmed hit, no wiff. Also, armor break shouldn't get through it
It's his trump card, and it's hard to fully charge, let it be good rather than just a kill move for 2v2 when you got a teammate who's good at the tie down.
1v1 I only really get anything out of rage if I: Shoulder Charge, or 2 am already clearly better than my opponent
his biggest weakness right now is that his weapons have hurtboxes which I just don't know how that ever made it past testing
Generaly, yes, not counting 0-death combos (which rarely happen in actual play)
I KNOW RIGHT! what is even the point, it's so aggravating to read the opponent like a book and trade anyway because Axe Grab has a hurtbox on the axe
like I didn't believe it at first when I heard it right
but then I had it happen to me first hand
with the bed
I missed the bed, and my opponent above me did a down attack and hit the bed, which hurt jason
like true zero to death combos?
What I mean is in terms of single hit kills, Jason needs the least percent, especially with Rage
A lot of characters right now seem to be lacking disjointed hit boxes on their attacks. Jake is probably the most obvious (and painful)
At least Jake, from what I've seen, has a lot of Purple attacks, and his moves are his body.
Though maybe I'm just jelly because every Jake I've fought has been peak and trashed me XD
it does what armor does so it is in fact armor
like unless they wanna go
erm jason armor special...
Well it’s not yellow, and isn’t called ARMOR in the game. Jason’s special gives him gray health, and then his passive prevents him from taking knockback while he has gray health
So in some sense, yes, Jason armor special
I'm with SummDude on this
Though I don’t know if I can co-sign on not losing his buff on a whiff…maybe just a little more gray health, or a little less self-damage
It’s a rather short cooldown already
Id take all the downsides If it didn't feel like I didn't just hurt myself to test the opponents dodge button functionality, but end of the day, it needs something. Right now it's not keeping up with the rest of his kit
If you think you're safe from being hit, you're not.
this is way too much lol. jason has the potential to take really early stocks so its a fine line between where he is now and best in the game
i think if his hitboxes were touched up and his frame data tweaked slightly that would be all he needs
just played a jason mirror where I got smashed cause I was tilting from tf2
then after 2 games I absolutely mogged him and he left
Frankly I wouldn't mind my boy being best in game XD but that's selfish. I'm just tired of "Big strong slow" always being bad because all the matters is how insane movement is.
you and me both. would be a nice change of pace from fighting harley every game
god, Jason is probably my favorite character to play, but people are only playing like top 5 characters online so it just feels bad to play him a lot of the time
but I want to keep playing him graaaa
Dude everyone is playing WW, Harley, Joker, Bugs, and Gizmo
Maybe one in every 15-20 games I’ll find someone who isn’t playing one of them
In 1v1 at least
Thankfully there’s at least some variety in 2v2, but it’s still mainly those same characters
gee, I wonder what those characters could possibly have in common
really makes ya think
if you could whiff while in armor jason would basically be impossible to contest ever
I think letting jason whiff would have to come with a compensatory nerf to the move
like it would be that crazy
I hate gizmo ong fr
like ww armor lasts wayyy less time than jason's
jason's armor lasts forever if you don't attack/get broken
I feel like it shouldn't go away on one whiff, at least give jason like
I dunno three
if you miss three that's on you
Most Shaggy players are pretty bad
And this is me saying this as someone who primarily plays Shaggy
Granted, his nair is currently borderline negative on hit at low percents, and it was his most important combo extender. So like the only thing he can do besides a few jab confirms is run away and charge rage and abuse rage specials
Exactly but most of the times they're cowards
Coz all they can do is just spamming the super kick or something like that... it's annoying
It’s unfortunately the optimal strategy now that his combo game is dead
He gets like 30% off a combo now without rage
I mean you're playing against the worst Tank & can't even use much more skills to defeat him...
The Shaggy I played against doesn't even dodge my attacks once...
He just runs away & goes back to spam kicks
That’s probably because he’s ass
Most Shaggy players are just kick spammers
They’re pretty easy to deal with and are extremely predictable
He defeated me once, I tried to rematch but he declined then we meet again in random matchmaking then I gave him taste of medicine
He tried to rematch then I declined
Got him a taste of medicine
Idk what are the available punishes for that
Coz like after I dodge, idk what to do after that...
I had the same thing happen but against a Morty
Yeah but you can get broken out of it into instant hitstun with some moves, since it only lasts while grey health, not by hit number
But he was actually decent and was just super toxic
Full hop over kick and dair him
I also got into the toxic Marvin while playing at the worst stage for Jason
Guess I'd do that...
Kick spammers won’t ever angle it up
Yeah...
And it doesn’t go too high vertically anyway
I don't even play Shaggy but when I do during missions & rifts, I mostly try to use different moves instead relying on same moves over again
If Shaggy’s hit you with dodge cancelled jabs and know his kill confirms like jab jab up b, utilt up b, dair up b, dair sair, etc then you know the Shaggy is at least decent
Yeah... not just a spammy kicks
If a Shaggy is spamming normal kicks, you can armor through it with max charged rage
Super kick will beat rage because it has armor + armor break
They already mentioned Shaggy’s nair is gonna get readjusted to be a real move again
When that happens, the MU is gonna be way harder for Jason because he’s big and will likely eat huge damage from a combo
& idrk if dair special is any good for him
Which is why he's the worst tank & need significant buffs coz he's half baked
Buggy as heck most of the times
I know. I’ve been advocating for Jason buffs pretty much since like day 2
He currently has the lowest win rate in both 1v1 and 2v2
They need to do something
Evidence?
As I said before... they kinda rushed Jason without even playing him properly... therefore he's really half baked
I believe the site pools data from one week at a time
In a day or two, Iron Giant’s win rate will drop to 0% because he’ll have no data
Hmm yeah
Right Jason really has a low winrate but average pickrate due to his popularity
Dunno how they kinda dropped but probably new characters
Oh to fix him yeah yeah
Yeah
Although I think some Jason moves need armor heavily...
Jason needs something more to compensate for his really slow speed and big hurtbox
He’s the second biggest behind IG
He's actually worse than IG despite being a little bit faster & has less hitbox than him
Coz this man doesn't have any typical armor moves despite being complete undead tank
That’s because IG had like 3-4 infinites, several more ToD combos, a reversal kill option that deletes you at 0% if you’re even halfway between the stage and the top blast zone, etc
Exactly
& even Wonder Woman is an overall better Tank than Jason
Wonder Woman has everything almost better than Jason can have
I mean, WW is the best character in the game
Yes & she's a Tank man... best Tank in the game by far
Oh, I forgot he also had even more infinites and death combos in his rage mode
god, all I want is slightly better frame data and hitbox adjustments for jason
my favorite thing ever is losing hard core to a character (morty, harley, WW), going into their channel, only to see someone say "man this character so bad"
like broooooooooooo
You mean Jason is bad? They're brainded then
Jason needs a bit more range, his slowest moves need to be a bit faster, rage needs more gray health/leas self damage and not be broken by armor breaking moves, and probably a bit more tbh
Losing as WW is a choice
You chose to lose if you’re losing as WW
More than you can imagine coz again he's half baked
& Dexter Laboratory 2 is the worst stage for Jason to be in btw
which is made even more annoying when I saw that one thing going around today of Nakat being like "yeah you can beat WW so she clearly isn't a problem" and then seeing all these list of like characters in recent tournaments and there are 16 people playing WW
yeah totally no problems
Nakat does in fact downplay WW. But at least he recognizes that she’s top tier
Nakat doesn't even understand how strong Wonder Woman is though... & idk how he feels about Jason
Is it any surprise that WW and Gizmo have the two highest win rates in both 1v1 and 2v2
If a character is popular and does extremely well, it’s because the character is actually insanely strong
WW has the 3rd highest pick rate in both 1v1 and 2v2
Reindog also has an extremely high win rate currently but he has a really low pick rate
Due to being og character ofc
Jason has higher pickrate I think coz of his popularity
So it’s really just matchup unfamiliarity and the people who play him aren’t casuals since they gravitate to characters like WW, Bugs, Harley, Shaggy, etc
I have been playing tons of jason like I've mentioned
its kinda that ganondorf thing
hes really fun but so weak
The easier characters
Jason is literally the Ganondorf of Multiversus
but even worse
He’s really slow in both movement and frame data, but he hits hard
ganondorf with a mewtwo tail hurtbox
Jason at least has a teleport
which hopefully he goes to being just the ganon of MVS
Ganon would kill for that because his recovery is so bad
Idrk if his uair special is any good coz they can be easily dodged
I actually remember going on a win streak with ganondorf against my friends once, and they were all just shocked that someone actually played that character pfft
Sair, utilt and ntilt (especially charged), mist, up b, and anything in rage
Those all kill
Most of my friends, like me, play Smash competitively, so we don’t really get bullied by Ganon like your average casual friend group would
to be fair I am the most competitive member of the friend group too I suppose
naturally I'd get demolished on elite smash lol
When I say competitively, I mean offline tournaments btw
I'm as competitive as a casual can get I guess?
no tournaments for me just online or friends
Elite Smash is kinda bad because Nintendo online has like 30 frames of input delay
My college hosted tournaments and there were plenty in the area to attend
I just kinda got used to it I feel
but no one else has so all my friends eventually stopped playing smash
and not all of them are interested in MVS (especially with how hard it is to unlock characters rn)
the woes
A few of my friends are interested in MVS, but not too many of them
I think the addition of the missing features and speeding up the game by like 25% will make them consider trying it again
there was one friend who said the game felt good, but their desire to play was killed off when they saw how much of a grind a single character unlock is
which I can't blame them
Yeah that too
If you didn’t play the beta, idk if I could recommend you play with how tedious and time consuming it is to unlock new characters
yeah, which I hope they make changes to this very soon because as much as I love MVS, I can't in good confidence recommend it to a newcomer
It would be great to see both battle pass XP increased a bit more than just 10 per win/5 per loss and actually award fighter currency for playing matches
Like even as little as 10 fighter currency per match would be so much more beneficial
It would still take 300 games to unlock a new character
But at least you could do it without needing to focus on tedious challenges
And like the fact that the game is always online + the tedious grind for characters means that offline tournaments will probably never happen unless something is changed
oh man, I remember doing crushing rifts with a friend, we did the stripe and jason one, I didn't have the gem levels but he did, so I got to get some easy levels on those gems
the next day I wanted to do the joker rift with him to level up my gems like the other two rifts, but they had JUST made a change that prevented you from doing it like that
At $10 per character using glemium, no sane person would spend $240 to unlock every character for a single setup for an offline tournament
god yeah
I mean I guess they can do tournaments in training mode pfftt
I don’t think they’d do offline ones at all
Just online ones
Even the entire Smash Ultimate roster can be bought for only like $100 including the full price of the game
And that’s like almost 4x the characters
It’s a shame because I’m certain that it’s a WB decision for the monetization and insane grinding requirement to get things for free and not a PFG decision
until I have evidence otherwise, I will always believe that PFG really does have the best intentions that are sadly skewed by WB
Same thing as like Activision firing the majority of its staff that produces call of duty and only focusing on making more shop items
Hearing insights from people who previously worked at those companies pretty much always said it was awful to work for because it was like minimum 60 hour weeks for not much pay and insanely strict deadlines with no real direction from higher ups
Yeah like their name, PFG seems to actually want to put players first
It’s a shame that they likely couldn’t really meet the deadline for the full launch because the game definitely needed another 2 weeks in the oven before it was ready
