This post is really just fail.
Thank you for insulting me, I will not be returning the favor.
You either don't know how to use her, or you just aren't very good at the game in general...
Both, to be honest. But all this time I've been trying to train her, ask for advice, trying to find a training partner, and all I'm told is "put more work in" while every attack I try, fails. When I counter, I get counter-countered and most of the time I could very well just put the controller down with all the unblockable crap being thrown at me by 1 button goers.
1. Her projectiles are invaluable. They make for awesome zoning game, as well as unexpected combo starters on the EX versions. Not to mention there is one that hits low, AA, and normal. This is great to keep opponent at bay with a mixup of them... (AA when they try to jump in closer to you, low when they keep blocking high, normal if they aren't blocking, you can catch them in a combo after it comes back)
For first, I get teleported and a broomstick up my posterior whenever I try to "zone game".
For second, that's not AA. An AA move is considered one if you can take down somebody that's jumping at you - which Jade also can't do while most other characters have a move just against that. (Nightwolf's Hatchet is the best but teleporters can just teleport out of it.)
High boomerang just curves upwards at the very end and that makes it good against non teleporters, Sonyas ragequit on me for it and that makes me warm and fuzzy inside.
2. The duration isn't too short, you just aren't using it at the right time. And if the opponent baits you, that doesn't make the move a bad move. YOu fell for their bait. AND, you can still block, move, and attack while you are in flash, so I don't know what your problem is... And if you are getting comboed and such, use the EX version to prevent Jade from flinching. It will allow you to start your own combos.
Kabal: Purple ball, ground saw. If you glow the purple ball, you get hit by ground saw. Or vice versa. If you move, he runs you down and you're gone.
But that's just one of them. Kano can throw 2 knives before you can glow once.
3. Sure the only move with advantage, but at least she has a move with advantage. She also has other moves that are safe on block
Sure there are. They are included in her blockstrings. Cage also has incredible range game and his kick is stronger than Jade's but his every move also leaves him at advantage on block. Like I said, Jade is weak.
4. What the hell does this even mean?!? Like that you think the developers made some moves weaker because she had other moves? That is probably the dumbest thing to complain about... Every character has that
It means that it's a bit overdone for Jade. They overestimated her strengths and her weaknesses cripple her too much.
5. + 6. This is mostly because Jade is a character where she really shines when countering people. Also, 2 xx DB+2 is a relatively quick combo starter. And you realize that you don't always have to be pulling combos the whole match. She has a great zoning game, paired with great countering game. You don't always have to start with a cancel either. You can just start the combo with B+2 or DB+2.... So what if it sacrifices about 6% on most combos. You can still do upwards of 30% with combos without starters. And another hint of advice, don't just throw out her punishable moves. You should learn when to use each move. And yet again, Jade doesn't always have to be all up in your opponents grill like JC. She has a great zoning game that can be hard to out-zone cause she has a projectile immunity special.
Now we're talking. That's advice, rather than calling me things for having an opinion / feeling down because I keep losing with a character I like by personality and looks.
If you think she is useless, you obviously don't have much advancement when it comes to playing the game. Jade is an INSANE character, one of my favorites.
I only have about 2k games with her so far. Can I add you so we can discuss? I need somebody that can help me out with online, so far I only managed to talk to people who aren't maining her entirely, or are offline players, or aren't interested in sharing info, or have already quit the scene because they said MK9 sucks...
