Move utilization week #6-Jab

[ChaosSoulReaver]

Jab to grab, jab to ftilt, jab to dtilt are some moves I like to do. I don't know, I guess I always find myself doing those moves when I'm near my opponent or when I land. ._.

What I know is that you should only use it when you know the third hit is going to hit. The move has some nasty cooldown, and is easily punishable if the third hit is powershielded. When I use this move, I use it a lot more for various jab cancels (Jab -> F-tilt, Jab -> D-tilt, Jab -> Grab, etc...). The problem with the Jab is that the last strike is never guaranteed, since it's possible to SDI out of it before the third Jab ever connects. That's why I almost always use the first hit only, and never use the second and third hit. In general, the Jab is bad, but Jab Cancels save it from being as bad as it could be.

I would label it as a 5/10 or 6/10 in terms of usefulness.

Seriously? I love the jab. It is one of my favorite moves. It is so useful, it punishes rolls, spot dodges, good to use in a tight spot, combos into a grab/ftilt. I would have to say it's one of his most useful attacks.

And look up the page for who can Power Shield the attack. >_>

7/10 or maybe even 8/10 for usefulness of the jab. Late into the discussion, most points where already proven.

 

[ChaosSoulReaver]

Oh and I rate it 8/10 for usefulness imo. One jab can sometimes "knock out" or "stop" your opponent which can lead you to a grab. Jabs are good after you airdodge from the stage.

Nappy, just quote me and edit it into your post, then keep it updated.

When I get my own place (and hopefully a laptop soon) I'll be back and up and running. Until then, I'm rarely home and when I am I have more important things to be doing. (Studying the driver's handbook, looking for a job, etc.)

 

[Panix]

anyone want to continue on what move to talk about?
this thread has been dead for to long.

So.

I heard dtilt was pretty radical.

[Panix]

It's weird. You mentioning the single word "radical" reminded of the entire 70s video I did a group project on. That video is just... horrible lol

Anyway, I'd be in favor of going over tilts next. Dtilt should probably first if we do that. Least used and be nice to know any practical uses for it such as maybe a dtilt to aerial idea?

let's talk about his recovery? =P

UpB would be for recovery. Doesn't that have like high knockback resistance or something in the beginning of the move and gets less the longer it's out?

I think it has super armor for any move that doesn't hit more then 7%?

ill update later today....

A much needed bump for an important thread: starring Tub

 

[LuLLo]

Let me suggest that we discuss D-tilt?
D-Tilt is a crap move imo, and should only be used in a situation where you have to crawl for your life (Laser spamming). On low percentages you can pull off a F-tilt afterwards(which isn't a real combo), but other than that, this move his Snake's second worst move (with F-air being first).
2/10

I use dtilt for kills sometimes. It kills at 130~ and no one ever sees it coming. It also hits people off the ledge and has decent range. It's not as bad of a move as people are making it out to be..

 

[napZzz]

hmm I'm feeling a bit too lazy to actually update this -.- someone should just copy pasta all the crap in the first posts and start over.

 

[Tub]

I might be able to do it some time this weekend, or sooner... (but definitely before next week)

You're right, it's not as bad as people let you believe it is, but there are far better options than D-tilt imo, the move itself is good, but in comparison to all his other moves it's not that good.
