As long as the opponent doesn't dodge.
shadow step is dodgable too yk?
Only if they see it coming.
well that projectile is fast too, i dont see many people dodging it
Only in focus, it's fast. When not in focus, it's slow.
so youre telling me shadow step is better then 5percent more damage?
and lets not forget shadow step is kinda useless against bruisers/ tanks if you dont count some projectiles like shaggy's sandwich
High or low damage, it's better to hit close than miss from afar
Only if the opponent's damage is too high.
if the opponets damage is too high youre better off just killing them with normal moves
And if they keep spamming projectiles?
they wont after your first successful counterattack
Well you aint wrong there.
I still say shadow step is the useful perk.
5 percent damage is way better.
Only if they don't see it coming.
do a counter against a lebron once, see if theyll every throw their ball again
Already did that. As well as tom and jerry, black adam, velma. Hell even bugs bunny.
And he was using the safe move.
hes dumb then
I think I remember countering batman's batterang as well
I still need work on countering Gizmo's arrows. I need perfect timing to pull it off.
countering arya's side b feels so freakin good
Countering any projectiles always felt so good. As long as it's not armor breakers.
arya's side b aint a projectile
that feeling where you read her super fast dash literally feels like heaven
I bet the player was unhappy lol
i did it once
was very good
imo jack is definitely somewhere in the top 10
prolly at the bottom with smith but you can argue for either way
Smith is thousand yards better than him though
No not rly. Smith has a better combo extender but jack has the best jab in the game with the best air down special in the game as well
also smith’s recovery is pretty dog
also smiths jab is definitely top 3
yeah but smith's jab s not that bad
and can get you either 0-70 or 0-tod if he does simple reads
yeah
but bro i’m telling you the up tilt buff is something else
mb bbut wanted to point out the rest
our uptilt is good but still misses to small/light chars and sometimes groundbounce doesn't work
do iad up air and then read what they do
it is one of his best tools
if they dodge left, hit them with down air
yeah i resort to that if they re small
yep
that s a rlly good change
i d want his reverse grab though or armor
and uptilt working 100%
but he s in a fine spot
they need to tweak his focus side special also
misses way too much on hit
they should make it so jack doesn’t get interrupted during the move and the opponent gets put in the middle
putting them in the middle also nerfs the kill power but makes the move more consistent
so basically making it look like a grab
practically
that s a change i d like a lot
also makes it rewarding to read your opponent and hitting it
it should have armor for how much it gets interrupted
ofc that s not a real thing i want
i mean. i guess
we can just hope tmrw since ajax asked for tweaks in some chars
that we get something
wait the update is tomorrow?
yep
idk the matchup seems even to me
the only characters jack really struggles with is zoners like tnj and morty
that’s about it
Jack is high mid Tier imo
Nah he actually struggles more against fast paced asassins like ppg/arya/finn/harley.
Finn and Arya are pretty awful for him
they get him in the air hes cooked
the harley matchup isn’t a factor anymore. And we beat ppg’s
the only assassins he don’t do good against is just arya and finn
how do we BEAT ppgs???
simply out-ranging them
but the rainbow dash perk is an issue to deal with
also we exploit they’re recovery decently enough. You could argue an even mu
and jack has a pretty good mu on batman aka the best character in the game currently
🤨
bro. The uptilt combos he can pull off on batman are really good.
and we completely out range him
you know batman can di out of it right?
then how is it "really good"
when he doesnt
and combo to 50 is only possible if you tech read/ dodge read
you cant read a tech situation with jab in air
?
You know a tech happens when you ground bounce twice.
Jacks jab is massive still
also iad grab works on him at 110 and rivers flurry down b kill confirms as well
on batman
i meant most attacks send them far away or diagonal so theyre not really in the reach of a jab
rivers flurry??? damn havent heard that name in a long time
ofcourse not, most jacks use 5percent more damage
I love using rivers flurry. It confirms at late percents to no small characters. It basically gives you 2 kill confirms off of jab
If ur in burnout just use rivers flurry. There is no way your gonna not have enough focus for at least 2+ weaken
sometimes on heavy characters like superman, they work extremely well and kill early
how bruhv
i think on superman. It kills around 120 ish
maybe earlier idk
depends on how much focus
120 on what map
and on the ledge or the middle
On the ledge definitely
well you could just do iad grab instead
Ur better off just finishing the jab off of ur at the middle jabbing
and save your focus for better use
on superman and heavier characters it doesn’t work until 140
On lighters characters it works at 110 or earlier
it works on shaggy at 110
and shaggy aint even that light
@leaden sedge any comments?
That is true actually
but the batarang is a pain to manage
definitely
ypu have to be careful and counter
no more armor
so probs unless it s very far he s gonna dc side air you
yea lol
also
the uptilt combo cant be di if he gets to like 20 first i think
i did test it on shaggy garnet and other chars with medium weight
have been usinng that combo
it s really easy to tech read indeed
i can do it in 2s, which can be interrupted/distracting
I’m telling you this rn jack has the best jab in the game and it’s no contest
the only one i can argue for is probably smiths
yeah, jack has the best jab for frame data
but for utility it s either smith or shaggy
it’s definitely the range.
yeah that as well
he sticks his foot so far
but it s also very fast
He needs it though. His air game is a little sub par but thanks to the god of the game air down special
it’s not rly a problem
as i always said ppl complain about it but dont realize
that it s his only way to be good on ground
yes!
but a thing i wish they did for jack is if they made down tilt ground bounce instead of up tilt.
on batman he can always di out
I’ve been labbing jacks jab combos. And it does work on smaller chars. However… You have to space jab perfectly. At the sole of his sandal
I would prefer if up tilt had a better scooping hitbox
i hate that perk lol can't never use it properly, i manage always to think/use a better option
broooo
that was my actual dream
you could just dc uptilt into sair , its pretty usefull sometimes, and you can get more damage off of it
they removed that from his trailer
what’s dc 😭
like instant
dodge cancel
yep which could be good if u play extremely passive
his jab is not his seord but his foot soooo
sword
but luckly
poke them with neutral
even though they nerfed the hitbox???
for some reason
fr like who was out there abusing neutral lol
i mean imo there is no reason to nerf it other than giving it a little more whiff i guess
that’s his way of comboing
i mean same with 90 of these characters
indeed
i am still questioning the nerf on focus side special
when shaggy can still hit you with his foot down on side rage
and travel the entire stage with it
the hitbox hurts my soul ngl
yeah it sucks
like
if they had a problem where it did too much damage..
why do they allow shaggy, someome with better reads rewards, charge WHENEVER HE WANTS, faster rage moves and actual combo into it, do it?
fr but they didn't do it for 3 patches
now it misses on hit that s stoopid
all they have to do. Is make it so once jack hits it. The char hit gets teleported in the middle. Jack cannot be interrupted during the move’s slashes
that also kinda nerfs its kill power in a way
nah they should just adjust the length of the next two slashes
but he can still get hit out of the move and die for it tho 😭
the slash length is long enough imo
This
the first one yes, the next two no
would make it cinematic too
but what about finishing off at 60 on the ledge
if its about dealing damage you could just do an air down b that connects to the ground
So what’s the point.
u ll still probably finish at 60, just need to grab
it ll probably connect way more into it
Or just hit down b in the air still. It’s still massive asf
top 5 move in the game btw
lowkey
side b catches them offguard more often when theyre on the ledge
AND IT GOT BUFFED
oh yeah base side b is also stupid
but with flux change it could still lend to a grab/down air b
and even more easily too
it wont kill at 60 tho
the air down b would do it for you
what if they dodge
i mean, i d prefer having constitency
they won’t. the hitstun is too great
I’ve never ran into that issue
i have many clips of it working
so youre telling me side b into air down b is true?
but i still believe that putting people at center of the move would automatically lend to grab
or down air
after focus side b in the air yes
i can show u clips of it working
almost, if it aint true it s a frame 1-2
i need proof
gotchu
i did hit it too
in the lab
so apparently jack can down tilt ground bounce when the di is away
buts it’s a little iffy
u gotta be in they’re face
@tough cape yo how did you beat ruthlessMVS, thats the rick that uses airwalker right?
The lies
how?
It's not that hard sometimes.
true
especially after the nerfs
but can be annoying
VERY annoying
That's also true.
btw mind joining a jack server?
A jack server?
yeah
trying to get most jack mains/secondary here
I'm good thanks.
alr
Counter.
Counter is the jump good.
At least the perk version is.
The logo for the sig is taken directly from a jump in the episode.
Why did they change the platinum skin? it was way cooler in the preview image. It was darker and now it is all turquoise and plain
How do you counter good lebrons in 2v2 with ball spam?
Try shadow step, tho if they run into you while theyre Ball is thrown towards you, you gotta jump and read, or jump and dodge away if the attack
I guess ill use that perk then for 2v2. Had a match vs lebron and rick. Could not see what was happening on screen.
your side special destroys everything rick can put on the stage
insane statement.
I never seen a character get so hated on in a game. Who is also not very good.
he s not very good in 1v1 that s true but its incredible how a bad jack just spamming nothing but side special can be this effective in 2v2 if he has a half decent teammate.
thats where most of the hate comes from.
The amount of matches I've won with this man is insane
Theres plenty of characters that you can say thats the same for. Shaggys kick for example. Jack has a glowing beam that tells you where he is aiming. Side special gets dodge very easily against another good player.
yup, thats why shaggy gets the same hate
and that s true for 1v1 once again, in 2v2 it s a very different story.
i d say the same about marvin
dont wanna say rick cuz he needs some combos and not only projectiles
Thing is a spamming Jack needs a good teammate. Thats not a good argument. Jack is not bad in 2s tho. Theres just a lot of unwarranted complaints.
from the pov of a top player like you very much but for casuals that wont be problem tbh, a bad marvin is bad. a bad shaggy or a bad jack or banana can ruin you super easily
i am saying that spammers are just punishable and other char can do it, not only Jack
and so yeah, from my view spamming is only a free win for me
but i find jack spam's even more punishable especially after the nerfs
thats way harder in 2v2s i found, like you re always in hitstun or attacking the other player and then the shaggy/jack/banana with 14wins charged side specials you in the back and you die at 71
in that scenario, u can't do much, and trust me a Jason would be 300% times worse
he just needs rage axe and you re dead
if u re in hitstun
oh dont get me started on jason lmao
yeaaa bro
yesterday i beat my all time record, i died at 45 with my feet on the stage
there s worse too
cant immagine an arya getting yeeted at 22 with the charged axe lol
if bed was team-comboable, we re gone
You probably need to manage how much you're at the edge of the stage. Jack especially cant kill well at low percents.
💀 ah yes the vacum bed
oh i was talking about Jason
Yeah, I was saying in general. For Jason you need to either focus him heavily. Or watch out for him on the edge of the stage ( especially chaged ).
How's the taz mu?
not bad
winning
There are many types of monsters in this world: monsters who will not show themselves and who cause trouble, monsters who abduct children, monsters who devour dreams, monsters who suck blood… and monsters who always tell lies. Lying monsters are a real nuisance; they are much more cunning than other monsters. They pose as humans even though they have no understanding of the human heart; they eat even though they’ve never experienced hunger; they study even though they have no interest in academics; they seek friendship even though they do not know how to love. If I were to encounter such monsters, I would likely be eaten by it… because in truth, I am that monster.
What loosing against the meta with a b tier character does to a man :
How to fix jack :
add true combo routes or decrease dodge influence. Increase the hitbox of uptilt. Rework the nair/decrease knock back for possible follow up attack. Add ground bounce on downtilt. Make iad grab true on every character. Fix the hitbox on his air down B, plus his Focus side B.
I can't play this character seriously I just be joshing with him
yes hes ass rn
all you can do is read
I get destroyed by Jack at ledge but that's because I need to get better at recovering
not ass
still honestly really good in 2v2s
just mid in 1v1s
He’s definitely not ass
Still has a great jab, long reach, strong kill power, an amazing aerial down special, command grab/anti projectile neutral special
In a super well balanced game he’d be very high on the tier list
ok thats a lie
bro does not kill
Aerial neutral special?
requires a read
I’m not saying like from mid stage kills but the aerial down special range is coocoo
bc he’s either playing for edge guards or hard reads
one of his main issues is that he can’t kill
and lack of combo
Jab Jab IAD grab like a real one. 😎
No reads required
Seriously tho if you don't learn that combo this character is not fun to play.
Up attack IIRC.
if I remember correct
Jack needs buffs
yes he does 😔
kills at like 120
and is precent/weight based
buff
Gotta get back
Back to the past
Spamurai jab
Try it at ledge, and not on Treefort.
Makes a world of difference and really improves Jack's gamefeel.
samurai wack
samurai b
what are the best perks for samurai jack?
5%, snowball, last stand, pugilist
ok
shadow step is sometimes value depending on MU
Counterattack without shadow step has more combo potential so I dont even use it on mages. Oh, and the projectile's knockback is higher then you think and its a homing projectile too. For example : rick shoots a projectile then jumps above me. Then my projectile Hits him in the air and he looses a stock
bro just wants more freee damage off jab 😩
i mean he does need buffs like that
Up tilt not even guaranteed off Jab.
AND the hitbox and hurtbox is AWFUL
Jack needs Tipper Damage
Like Marth
On his forward air
Time and time again I’ve smacked my opponent around the stage at high percents over 100 just for them to kill me at 80 because they have some jank hitbox cheese move that can reliably kill
His dash attack has a very questionable hurtbox… on his foot.
Like WHY?
That’s what he’s using to attack!!
Why is the hitbox so close to his hurtbox?
His hurtbox is DELIBERATELY huge on his nair and just wrong on his up tilt
He is vulnerable in every attack he does WAY more than other characters.
Throwing out an attack is supposed to also be defensive to protect yourself.
It shouldn’t make vulnerable like that.
You should be punished for whiffing and then end lag but not because your hurtbox is dripping out the sides
yeah i mean whatever utilt after jab is doing nothing but give him more damage he dont really need that
yep he doesnt totally
he has no combos and no kill power, why would ever give him more dmg or combo power smh
He don’t need more damage.
Any decent Jack can rack up damage.
Jack needs Knockback. He needs Reliable Kill Moves. He needs kill power.
Up tilt ground bounces now, that’s good, but guess what?
Literal NOT kill move. So something else gotta kill.
A fully charged up special can’t even kill at 100.
It NEEDS Focus to kill.
Heck not even all his focus moves kill at good percents.
You characters out here consistently killing at 80.
This is what should be done with Jack
yeah give him combo potential why give him just more damage off jab 😭
yea then make jab into uptilt work
side b focus missing:
crazy
BUFF Focus moves.
More kno back and kill power.
Make THAT what we are aiming. We miss, it’s gone anyway. So make it worth it the hit!!!
BUFF forward air. Give it a tipper quality like Marth. His forward doesn’t kill at high percents. It should.
Make Down Air Special a combo from Jab or Up Tilt.
Because this also ground bounces, allow it to link with other moves. THEN he can have decent combo routes.
LASTLY, Shrink the huge Hurtbox on dash, nair and up tilt.
make uptilt hitboxes have sense
Bugs Bunny free up air is more reliable and more scary than Jack Focus Side B
That’s a problem
yeah
And there’s many moves more threatening
It honestly makes no sense to me.
Shaggy rage side B is a given kill
Jack Focus Side B? No
me when i lie
no he s bottom 5 lol
in 1s he is
not in 1s again
calling me rat is wild
while providing zero evidence to ur case
ragebaits used to be believable..
- skibidi 2024
noot rick reindog and bj
but go on i ll listen
surely
i wonder why i never did that
ig u re playing a char worse than Jack to find him this good right?
cuz the only good thing he has is jab and down b
Jack bottom 5
Jack mid tier in 2s bottom 5 in ones
We ain’t downplaying this is facts
hard carry
huh
i wanna play that version of mvs
pass me that
did
doesnt
and also very easy to dodge
u can pretty normally too
yeah
it s... easy to dodge stuff offstage?
especially jack's ?
Down b is so easy to avoid at the edge
If you get caught by down b fully charged you deserved to get ko’d
just admit then that u cant dodge lol
down b both grounded and air are easy to dodge
both have huge whiff frames
bruh the grounded one is even worse lol
it kils at 17 okay but u got hit by charged one
jason can do worse lmao
it has a good swing, yet there is jason who can hit on top of his axe
Jack is mid buff him
It’s so easy to punish jack down b on whiff
Yes Ik it has like 20 frames of recovery and a lot of up attacks and specials can go thru the stage and interrupt him or punish
Who are you playing
Tom and Jerry and gizmo?
Jack down b fair and balanced
Actually buff it so that the focus version is actually worth using
fr
that thing killed me at 90
also rick has a tod
and side air kills at 60
which is super easy to loop and hit with
shaggy doesnt???
kay am done
surely i wanna play ur version of mvs
Sair
Dude what’s your point
It sounds like your just yapping over jacks down b
It’s not that good
Any player with half a brain is not letting that hit them
He’s not a hard carry
He’s bottom 5s in 1s
75% can mash and get away w it
You’re acting like this game isnt 99% dodge and jab mashers
He does neither the best
He can’t avoid combos to save his life and almost every top tier mashes better than him
I’m masters on 3 chars if I’m carried it’s not bc of jack
Velma ppg jack
Wdym this isn’t my ign
I lied just to see if you would say I was carried dummy
I literally said Velma and you still said I was carried
I still have 2 chars in master and another in d3
Not telling you my ign mr %%%%
I’m not tho
Why do I have prove anything to someone like you
You clearly think jack is busted for no reason
You’re in the jack section tryna convince ppl that jack is carried are you dumb
He takes skill and is fair and balanced
You must be one of those ppl who haven’t played since s2 launch
Got killed by down b and quit the game right after
Ur hard carried
Like who
Jack ain’t meta he’s never been meta even at his peak
He’s a low tier
Why even say this then if you weren’t implying that jack is meta
Bro literally just yapping
You don’t play jack so you don’t play only low tiers
You came here to ragebait not me
Jack bottom 5 prove me wrong
Name 5 chars worse than jack
Rick and reindog and bj are all better
You just threw them in there to try and downplay my arguments
Take them out jack is bottom 5
Autocorrect and you’re late lol
Ok Mr smart man you still haven’t proven your point
Yapper
Except 3 of them are actually better
So you haven’t named more than 5
Lol bro why are you in here if you’re a jack hater
Just go home
Bro there’s no downplay bro you tryna cope with your losses to jack in ranked
We’ve been trying to tell you it’s a skill issue but you won’t listen
Doesn’t matter who he is he gets killed by down b at 17
Lol bro is bad tryna cope getting caught by one of the slowest and most telegraphed moves in the game
nah he makes up arguements in every channel
it s not the first time just ignore, he deletes his messages anyway
Am I masters or am I lying
yep as i thought
doont really care, sorry
no?
i just.. have better things to do
0/10 ragebait bro
caring enough to let my bro know just that
Dw about me Ik how to deal with this
Ur hard carried
Lol was that supposed to be an insult
Mr mysterious percentile too afraid to even have a name on discord
You must get all the ladies don’t you
You are a loser tho
Failure at mvs and failure at ragebaiting
You’re a bot at ragebaiting say something new it’s not working lol
I don’t care I’m just bored
If I do that who will you have to try and troll
And fail
You could be getting better at the game instead of losing to a bottom 5 char
Oh so you’re getting distracted w your work by discord trolls lol
Sad
Uh huh keep going queen
Is that it bro
That’s the best you got?
LMAO
bro just go on and delete your messages like you always do
You failed
Yup at least I play an honest char
Are you even a master bro
You just called yourself a bot
You insult yourself better than others
What does that mean
Huh
Oh look there he goes deleting his messages
L troll
You’re a true loser worried about leaving a digital footprint on a mvs server
You do obviously why you deleting messages in here
Own up to your failures son
Lolololol
bro took a huge L
The fact he kept explaining himself even tho he was the one trying to troll is so funny to me lol
who is this loser that deletes his messages?
Lol some guy @trail salmon he’s an L troll who got reverse ragebaited
I feel so sorry for you guys
Jack got only a single change and it was a nerf to his side special
They increased its hurt box so he's less likely to teleport through projectiles
I'm playing Nubia
fr
Samurai feels slower now because of changes. Ngl
You can still cook
But by the time you finished preparing the meal
Your opponent already grabbed fast food
buff Jack
BUFF JACK
whats Jack's best signature perk?
5%
really? I've always hear its Shadow Step or River's Flurry
river is useless, step is meh useful against zoners
i have a server that can help u learning jack if u want
oh ok I didn't know that and cool thx, just annoyed cause I kept losing to a non stop taunting jason
and for some reason his attacks could still hit me while I was clearly behind him like hello?
u want the inv?
sure
@carmine quartz I think I just matched against you, ggs
GGs
I want a rematch
I learned a thing or two
lol we can fight again
slide a inv but your pretty good
I can get better. I’m like a SSJ lol
Sayian
If we fight I can learn because your good too
Saiyan* boutta get a zenkai boost? 😭

K just want to reach Master in 1v1 first
alright, how close are you? I'm just now hitting diamond 2 😭
Rank 1 texting between matches aaa
Sent you friend request btw
I added you, my ign is mbrace04
My most used combo is jab jab down tilt, dodge towards opponent, repeat until you're at the end of the stage but I have no idea what's a good way to keep it going for a little longer when I'm at the end of the stage
any ideas?
that s his old combo route
u should start using uptilt
leading into? down tilt, side special?
idk
jab12 that leads into uptilt that combos in down special air and other stuff
if u need help for learning jack i got some people who can help u too
yeah maybe having some people learning me inputs could help
fr
jack player try not to eat glue challenge (impossible)
Bruh stop hating
Dang
This might be a stupid question but how do you get the 100 perk on Jack?
it s disabled rn
I fought one Jack that had it
yeah if they had it equipped before it doesn't refresh
Oh ok, didn’t know that
Btw what’s the most optimal combo for Jack? I stopped playing him for awhile and got back into him
jab12- uptilt
if u want some help i got a server that can assist u in learning jack

Technically a bug exploit.
#JackBuffsForSeason4
#JackBuffsForSeason4
Just seen the shield testing video. What do ya’ll think of it for Jack?
I feel his neutral special grab is gonna become way more valuable now.
#JackBuffsForSeason4
#JackBuffsForSeason4
yeah
Hopefully armor breaking moves break shield too
Ah yes they went over that. It does not break shields but your armor breaking move will have faster recovery after hitting a shield with it.
They used Jason as example and basically he was able to do his down attack stomp and be able to shield right away after before they could retaliate
Nerf Jack air down special
#JackBuffsForSeason4
said the jason
damn..
Jason lowkey broken
but some how still lower half
i hate this meta
Yea if you run into his stuff and don't camp him out
Which respect but that is how you lose to Jason
He'll actually be broken with shields though
It's no hate to Jack players what I said
But I do think the move is a bit overtuned
hes broken
but lower half still
this meta has way too many OD characters
Do you primarily play Jack?
secondary
Ah who's the main
Cause if you say Finn
Then I'm gonna have a problem with you calling Jason broken
Rn Shields feel kinda nice
3 mid character just got overbuffed imo
banana, garnet, jason
All of them are menaces rn
True
calling jack the better finn is a huge overstatement
finn is 2-3 tiers ahead of jack with his hyper mobility and tods alone, jack can't afford to push that much
atleast not like finn
i understand urs but like cool factor is subjective
balance is not
finn is a better swordie than jack sadly
huh?
sounding angry wasn't my intention but whatev. also u made the comparison between the two, so am i not allowed on saying why it's wrong for multiple reasons?
Jack better than Finn? yeah right 💀
he's cool not dumb
also
#JackBuffsForSeason4
So you can equip armor crush and beat shields by charging side-b?
Yeah no thanks.
*Jab
Ninja
Buff Jack
i wish jacks sword projectile he shoots when he does a full focus down air special could work in the air, it only comes out if you touch the ground while performing the move.
that'd be pretty cool, or if he does multiple slashes on focus air down special when it connects
does he really need it tho?
against light chars yeh
What small characters does he struggle against?
So meta characters?
Well jack's good against some metas so lets just say light chars
Fair point, I play garnet so I struggle vs all 3
yes
What does he need changed?
I just want up tilt to hit on smaller characters after jab 2 honestly and for down tilt to ground bounce consistently
That would make him even more cancer to fight as garnet 😭
oh yeah an I want reverse grab on focus grab
What’s that mean
air neutral can be turned around when it connects with focus
Oh
I think his kit needs to be less spammy ngl
are you on rn?
i wanna practice vs sam jack
I think they should not buff Jack. If he is buffed even 1 damage on a move people will complain. Then he will be nerfed worse immediately after.
He needs buffs but buffs don't always mean damage.
I guess I should say if there is a plus sign under his name, people will riot. I wasn't being literal.
Buff Jack
hello everyone
can anyone sent MultiVersus-Win64-Shipping.exe to me i cant play the game
on privete or here please
Multiversus\MultiVersus\Binaries\Win64

tf is this
you need 6k fighter currency to play him
Their game is missing a game file
Season 4 Jack Buffs
#JackBuffsForSeason4
#JackSkinsForSeason4🗣️🗣️🗣️
jack needs buffs to his counter. its his only ally support move and its just too slow on startup to be consistant.
maybe have the armor appear instantly on input?
like Jokers
Yes please.
Jacks patch notes are the first I’m looking at as soon as they drop
same here lmao
Jack losing Weakened and gains... Nothing. Oof. Guess his ally buff just straight does nothing now. Bummer
It's gonna get replaced with something eventually they did say that. That some of the weaken stuff will be changed
Yeah, but Jack had a huge focus on Weakened, not like it's just one move that lost it. They should have given him something to compensate right away. They did for Batman, the other Weakened-heavy character.
Fix this damn character
Jack got nothing…….man….
yep he s bottom tier
I feel like I default to River's Flurry, but what do you guys think of Shadow Step for 2s?
I use 5%, river's flurry doesn't do me any good and shadow step is cool but ehh
I use 5% aswell. I’m aweful at shadow step timing. Was really hoping they would buff it to make it an instant counter like Joker’s
Thanks! Also I don't know if I'm tripping but like...Jack doesn't really feel any faster? I thought they increased everyone's run speed
Oh it was only for some characters and Jack was...not one of those characters
The new Jack skin is peakkkk!!!!
So some characters got movement changes a patch or two a go and some more got increases this patch. Jack is already decently quick so
New Jack skin is fire
HELL YEAH!!!
but I wish Jack had gotten a speed boost and I wish his grab wasn't bugged to where his kill confirm won't work. but it is what it is
we'll have to wait for grab to be good in either mid season or next week
Well he's still affected by the fast fall and short hop changes so that's a positive at least
Jack got nerfed but the speed helps. Also I have no idea what new up tilt cancel brings
check server
Wait is there a Samurai Jack discord?
yes, i own it
May I join?
look dms
yeah his grab is bugged doesnt kill at 150
using him now requires some high level patient
Could I join it too? Super hard finding jack tech on YouTube
chrck dms
I been loving the new up tilt change. One link I been having fun with was doing up special after it. Then follow them with up tilt and another up special. Can kill on a solid read.
Otherwise I try to do grab during up tilt then immediately side special after to catch ppl anxiously dodging back in
I
Am so sorry for you guys
Not only did you lose weaked but the ability to cancel your Up Smash literally leads into nothing and it can't even slide off stage anymore like Reindog's Up Smash still can LOL
I wish Jack didn't suck this bad because he's quite fun and I love the character even outside MVS
Jack gets to be lore accurate and suffer fr
Man we are so far from lore accurate jack lol.
I highly doubt Jack will stay neglected tho. He’s bound for some buffs eventually
Nah lore accurate jack would be top tier
I hope man
like he isnt already
you guys are no different than wonde woman mains
always downplaying
I'm not a jack main lol
He's seriously not broken, and I say this as someone who has a bad matchup against him
Quit crying
Been maining him since s2, reaching Masters with him felt like a pain in the ass cuz he felt more honest than half the cast if im not spamming side b
Reached Masters, stuck to PPG for most of last season, gotta say Jack's felt great since, stupid asf too
Utilt cancel helps his ladder game a ton and IADing out of utilt leads to techchase stuff, all I think he needs is maybe armor break on dtilt since it feels kinda eh, but overall this character is great rn
nope
not great
he ain't no top tier 😂
You’re not very bright
Facts
Name 2 characters better than Jack
Smith and Rick
what are you talking about
Rick is debateable but smith no
he ain't that good and for damn sure ain't top tier
As a smith main he got gutted this patch
They reduced every hitbox size
No more loops
We barely have anything bro
then maybe I'm just ass but he still tears me to shreds
what 0td
Uptilt buff
😭
Damn you don’t know?
I’m gatekeeping
I don’t want to get 0td again
what loops does he have
Damn you don’t know?
I’m gatekeeping
I don’t want to get looped again
4/10 ragebait
Eh compared to what he was, yeah feels good to me
I havent had grab bug out on me
how that s impossible
What combo are u tryna do
The basic jab jab iad grab at ledge is killing at 100 no di
Its working for me idk
unless the enemy is kissing the blast zone and u re in like teentitans or townsville
exactly
Well idk, havent had it happen
Is that the only thing you think keeps Jack from being good?
Cuz aside from that he's cooking lol
yes since u cant really kill unless u read offstage
I decided to stop respecting people and just go for down b or side b depends on scenario
Working out p well lol
works against bad people
I mean Jack is a read based characrer, Id rather read them with that over grabbing
Bigger hitbox tingz
they can dodge both down b and side b easily if they re decent
I feel the same abt the grab tbh, I feel like you can bait out dodges with him pretty easily, then commit
grab is way faster and is an actual confirm
Again, I think his worst nerf was losing changing grab direction, aside from that he feels sooo much better than release Jack, that can also be attributed to other chars coming down since s2
if that s what u feel about it then it s alr
Launch Jack felt linear asf yeah Id rather what we have now, if a bugged grab is your concern it'll be fixed soon enough
Downplaying him cuz of that is insane work imo
calling downplaying when a char cant kill a light weight at 150 with focus is insane imo
???
as long as this still happens I'm not gonna be satisfied
once this is fixed I'll be happy and except mid tier
fix jack asap pfg
this mf is dogwater in 1s unless I can read my opponent move for move
dodge for dodge
up tilt still whiffs on smaller characters after jab 2 and now grab is bugged
😔
Shaggy banana
how they can fix jack (pls pfg):
Make jab 2 pull in instead of pushing out. This can make up tilt combos more consistent
Uptilt: scoops in better so it doesn’t whiff on smaller characters like gizmo and finn. Make the second hit consistently down slam better so you lead it into tech situations.
Focus: Focus is kinda bad. It’s Jack’s whole gimmick and it’s not even good.
- Focus side special should have invincibility when you hit the move meaning you can’t be hit out of the move. To slightly nerf it, The opponent is placed in the middle of jack’s slashes unable to be hit out of the move and frozen in place until the last slash knocks them back. Since they’re placed in the middle, the kill power gets nerfed but it buffs its combo potential.
- Focus Air Down Special. This move should throw out the projectile even if your in the air and deal higher knockback . This makes the move kill easier while making it more useful offstage when you have focus.
Grab: Grab is bugged for jack, so once they fix the bug he should be fine with killing, however a good buff/return is reverse grab. Instead of killing, the grab does a weak spike once you input it to turn around, allowing for a ground bounce to lead into a tech situation. If grab is amped by focus and you turn it around, it is much weaker that it would be throwing them forward, but it gives one stack of weaken.
Counter: Counter is a really bad move, In my opinion most of the counters in this game need a rework but if not, they could make counter work similarly to jokers. Where if you aren’t close, it won’t attack but if you are, it does the attack way quicker which you can combo into jab. I think to balance it out, it takes a bar of meter.
Up B: This is really a nitpick but at higher percents, you can combo up special easier leading to vertical KO’s
That’s really all i can think off lol
Lemme fix this a bit lol
thank you for posting this here
Onb
Love all of this!
oh yeah to add on that, if you grab a projectile with jack, you should have armor during the animation
this should've been a thing off rip
Rs
We've tried so many times man, they just wouldnt listen
Btw please also fix uptilt endlag, it wasnt listed on the patchnotes
Even more Jack nerfs I'm so sorry for you guys
samurai jack is so cancer in 2v2
WHAT IT WAS ON PURPOSE
wait how. It looks like it has to be a bug
Where?
Samurai Jack
Air Neutral Special
– Throw damage reduced to 4 from 7, grab victims are now hit by the hand hitbox (3 damage) and throw hitbox (4 damage) for a total of 7 (this change was unlisted in the 1.4.0 notes)
– On-hit weakened debuff removed (this change was unlisted in the 1.4.0 notes)
Which patch
How tf do we even kill.
for rn I'll get Jack to master and switch
reads
we can kill at 170 with grab dw
well besides river’s flurry down special but once again it’s inconsistent
around there
🥲
guess I'll use the beetle for ledge baiting
that and down special by ledge is so juicy ngl
vro
Oh the misery
PFG : gitgud
I kinda feel like PFG's aiming to set Jack as the new starter character
I mean, he has the most basic kit and his more predictable/easier to dodge( or punish) moves have more kill potential
Which a new Player would love
And theyre giving him skins and maps at the same time, plus ringout effects and profile Icons
Its a good thing for the game but its completely destroying previous jack players
Like I cant think of any other reason why they would nerf an already bottom 5 character
I mean, 3 season and hes only getting nerfs. The only buff he got this season is now useless thanks to the grab nerf.
imo they should just give him a crouch passive in compensation
Make it so that it fills your focus Bar instead of giving you useless gray health
the throw is intresting. it says it does a total of 7 with the hit being 3 and the throw being 4. they seem to have changed it to have similar numbers to a throw in smash. similar to a throw from ike or cloud.
He feels super spammy on bigger characters that’s probably why
We only have like 5 characters that he can chain attacks on em
There are more then 30 characters in the game
Who does he struggle to fight?
Is it mostly the Meta characters he struggles with?
Light - mid characters
Anyone in particular that he really struggles with?
Every light and mid character, since the only characters that actually might get hit by chained moves are jason-batman-shaggy-garnet-IG-Supes-BJ-BG.
Other then that hes good against velma and gizmo since theyre also bottom tier
Every other character pretty much diffs him. If you wanna beat them you just gotta be the better player
Some of them dont even get hit by chained moves on higher percentage
Do you want them to make him more complex or just better overall
Complex definitely, hes pretty basic and predictable so you dont really have many combo routes. And since his kill Power was taken in this Patch, hes now completely high damage dependant, by which I mean he has to get the enemy to damages like 140+ (on heavy chars 170-180)faster so he can kill. But since he doesnt have combo routes on most charachters, that aint possible
Ive always kinda hoped they made him more complex his kit feels like a spam fest
And his kit in General is pretty slow too
Slow???
Yes, his chain and recovery moves Like sair, down B. These all have a lot of starting frames. Since he doesnt have better counter moves he has to use some of these which are pretty slow so they'll hit you instead. Tho fastfall nair also works, but it has some endlag to it so still not completely safe
Maybe it’s just cuz I play garnet but I don’t notice it much
And if you dont wanna counter you're just gonna runaway which is way worst
Id hope if they buff him that they would nerf his dodge jab a bit
Garnet might actually be jack's best matchup since shes the only character that 100% gets a groundbounce
Yea and his spinning multi hit moving is kinda hard to challenge
All that I really see is him flying across the stage with a dodge and jabbing
They need to fix his jab 2 > up tilt so it actually connects consistently. It's so annoying how something you are supposed to be able to do works only 1/3 of the time
The game in it's current state rewards having high damaging combos, fast combo starters, and consistent kill confirms
Jack lacks basically all 3
Facts
Happy thanksgiving my fellow Samurais 🙌🏼
You too!!
Jack needs a Buff
Jack can’t kill 100 dmg opponent on stage
And that's fine
Jack has almost no kill power, its bad
That isnt bad
Fr
How?
He is meant to carry you to ledge with his kit, which he is more than capable of doing.
Just because a character isn't hard-focused on KOing the same way from mid-stage at the same damage, doesn't mean they suck
I didn’t say he sucked but he needs a buff. His up tilt doesn’t even work half the time and doesn’t work on short characters
He is in a more than good spot, a buff should most definitely be accompanied by a nerf to his Jab's recovery and/or hitbox.
I don’t even care about jab
Imagine not caring about your character's best and safest tool
I really don’t care
I’m so tired of smacking around my opponent at 145 damage just to die at 65
Jack needs buffs
This is definitely a you problem, lol.
Just play a better Jack
Both killing that late and dying that early
It’s not.
You're the one saying you don't care about jab before complaining you kill too late and die early.
You're just throwing out your kill move and hoping for a read to kill mid-stage whenever like you're Jason.
Yeah, you're gonna die early if you whiff kill moves every two seconds
I do kill confirms. I know his combos
Then you should care for jab, cuz it's how you fish for those 90% of the time
Morty cant kill lights at the ledge at 180
Obviously. I just don’t care if it gets nerfed it means he gets buffed
Do you think garnet is trash?
Hell nah
Because she literally claps you at 100
But like she is brolen
Broken*
I’m pretty sure Jake’s nair kills at 100
I’m also talking kill confirms
Like a whole combo into the kill
Finn, Batman, bugs, shaggy, garnet, etc
They kill early
Jack swings his sword once
You miss
It’s a rinse repeat of whatever stupid combo
He has nair multi hit
But the hurtbox is stupid
And the hitbox is super late
Bugs kills easy at 80
Pops u up. Up air
Done
If you were to fully charge a focus up special from Jack it wouldn’t kill till high percents
Like high
Batman can miss and it’s no biggy. He can combo you on whiff
Tons of multi hits and better kill power and cancels and better frames
So y’all can complain about jab
I take it you’re not a Jack player?
Everything Goldenknight is saying is true. It’s very difficult to kill with Jack, only times you see someone die early to Jack is when they have bad DI or they didn’t know when to dodge out.
I gave up playing Jack in 1’s and only play him in 2’s. In 2’s is where he feels powerful, he’s got a partner covering all his weaknesses and crazy whiffs.
Main buffs I would like to see tho is consistent up tilt and frame 1 counter (like Joker’s counter)
If they gave him that he would be a lot stronger already
