Her old routes to get to wall loop really don't work since FBPB isn't wallstick anymore. Anything that was ryujin -> charged ryujin still works, but D Ryujin doesn't have nearly as much untechable time so if they're really high up it doesn't work.

Wall loops are harder to do it feels. You have to be a lot more consistent and tight with your inputs. How you do your loop also depends on what cards you have.

Basic 3 card loop from starting position I've found is like:

cS fS 236D land 6H H dash 5K 2H(1) 6H H dash 5K 2H(1) 6H 236K 214D cS 2H(1) 623D

Works on everyone but Chipp and A.B.A. I've found so far. Faust also needs to be lower on the wall after ryujin to pick him up with 6H. Chipp you drop a rep of the Wall Loop and just go to 236K 214D etc (It still does more damage than on anyone else, RIP Chipp).

ABA specific:

cS fS 236D land 6H cS 2H(1) 6H H dash 5K 2H(1) 6H 236K 214D cS 2H(1) 623D (Does about 200 damage on ABA and still gets knockdown so it's still good).

You can only do the 236D 6H if they land somewhat low on the wall. It's a LOT higher than you'd think it would be, you basically land then IMMEDIATELY do 6H and your hitbox basically hits the bottom of their hurtbox and you get your bounce and do shit. If they're higher than that you can do sjc jS jH 236K 214D land cS 623D for not nearly as much damage but workable.

Without cards you should just be doing her old shit into knockdown/charge card. Sending them high in the air and doing 22D is workable.

There's some new stuff out there for sure using 6H ground bounce/special cancel but I don't know if it's optimal...

Crossup 236SH is now comboable if you use a D Ryujin.

Video of "General BnB with low wall stick":

Getting the dashes are very important since if you don't get close enough on the first one you won't be able to get the third rep. Some characters like the Sols or Justice a third rep is needed otherwise they're not falling fast enough and they magically make the 236K whiff (magic).

Some hitconfirming character specific notes...

2D 236K 236D still works on May and Millia

2D 236D DOES NOT work on Ky, Robo-Ky, Dizzy, Venom and ABA. Maybe more, I'll test. You'll still need to do 2D 236SK 236D like the old days.

6H H 236D DOES NOT work some characters, like Eddie. I'll have to test more. 6H 236D is still available though.

[Final Change Log in GGAC+R]

+ : All charged kicks can now be used at any time (assuming you have the proper card), by pressing the D button rather than the K for the kick's input. 236D will give you a charged Ryujin, etc.

+ : 6H is now special cancellable, can combo into charged Ryujin and other specials for newer combos and big damage. Groundbounces on air hit.

+ : 6HH is now cancellable into charging cards/charged kicks.

+ : Mawarikomi (236S~P) now has strike invulnerability on frames 1-4.

+ : Ashibarai (236S~K) is now cancellable into charging cards/charged kicks.

+ : Charged DP is now 3F startup, air blockable, forces prorate.

+ : FBPB no longer wallsticks, but has more invul and is cancellable into charging a card/charged kicks.

+ : Orb super has reduced recovery (9f down from 17f), knocks them away and knocks them down, don't lose tension if you get hit before super flash.

+ : 100 Fists super is now 7F + 1F startup from 7F + 28F startup. No word on changing damage or tension cost though.

+ : 6H H Followup knocks them farther away than before on block.

+ : New move: 3HS. 8f Landing recovery (sounds like her old 6H)

+ : Can cancel 236S~K into 22X

+ : 22K/S/H charges down to 53F from 57F.

+ : 22D charge to 50F from 64F.

+ : Last hit of charged Kenroukaku launches, increased untech time to 90F

+ : 22D gives one of every card

+/- : Change trajectory, proration, and the CH wall-stick properties of charged Ryujin.

+/- : 2H now floats lower on hit.

+/- : 236S~K now knocks down instead of stagger.

+/- : Can't use the K button to use charged kicks anymore, must use the D button

- : 6H now is GB +10, was GB +20.

- : 2H Untech time to 22f from 25f

- : Ryujin can be air guarded, no FD needed

- : Gekirin hitbox around her foot slightly smaller, crossing up is MUCH harder now.

- : DAA recovery now 16F, was 12F

- : 6H is +3 now, down from +5 in AC

Shoutouts to St1ckBuG for translating some of them on his twitter, along with Shinjin for translating the .pdf. Shoutouts to anyone else who posted vids/info.

Overall I'd say Jam didn't really shift much. According to Ogawa right now she's one of the strongest characters, very good and solid before she gets any cards, and once she has 25 meter + knockdown she can go for 22D and just becomes better in every way. She might have lost a bit of abare? But once you get the cards it sounds like her damage is just as high and easy to get as it was, if not better. And her cards are really easy to get now, and since they're faster + you can cancel into them from stuff like 6HH and FPBP you can get a little oki afterwards? Her wall loops are relatively unchanged, spend cards/meter for more damage it looks like lol. So yeah she's still kicking ass and such.

As for how her matchups changed, I'm a little worried by Faust and Testament now. Testament seems to have become even stronger at zoning while sacrificing pressure, which is more of a problem for us of course. And Faust is just REALLY good now apparently, and it wasn't a fun matchup in AC. But the game's new, so who knows?

This is assuming you know the basic idea behind Eddie's pressure/blockstring/mixup/whatever you want to call it. Essentially Eddie wants to make you block, usually with a move with a lot of blockstun like 6H, then he's gonna summon little Eddie and use Mawaru and 5K/6K/Command Throw to mix you up and just repeat the process till you get hit or he burns meter going for an unblockable.

The catch is that Mawaru isn't completely airtight. Most characters can just IB the first hit and backdash out; actually Jam can do this too, but since Mawaru isn't a low she can also block the first hit and parry the second. IBing the first hit isn't even necessary, but it really does help make it easier. Basically your inputs should be 4 5 4 6 during Mawaru. And because parry works the way it does, you can counterattack him.

The hard part is determining WHAT to counterattack with. Because little Eddie's hitstop doesn't affect the actual character Eddie, you're still not really gonna be able to do whatever you want. But it does reduce the hitstop you'll be in and negate blockstun, so you can hit him back. The problem is now you're gonna have to guess if he's going high/low/throw instead of just reacting to his actual pressure like if you had just blocked.

Low is the biggest problem here, Eddie's 5K hits low and probably has about the same range as Jam's 5K, if not more. The big thing you have going for you is that his 5K takes twice as long to start up as yours. If you do parry -> 5K you can 80% of the time trade with him, hitting Eddie and getting an unsummon, resetting the match back to neutral. 10% of the time you'll get a CH on him, and if you're really good you can hitconfirm that into a combo, and the other 10% of the time he'll CH you and now you're just taking damage.

If you're far enough away though when he does Mawaru you can do Parry -> 6H and use your lower body invul to ALWAYS get a really strong CH on him and hitconfirm into a f.S TK Ryujin, completely reversing the match. It's also probably best to do this if you're really close, because parry -> 6H when you're in grab range will beat anything he decides to do.

The problem is neither of these options are very good if he does 6K, the overhead. 5K's hitbox isn't good against his 6K, and Jam's 6H is just way too slow to hit him before it comes out. The best thing I've found you can do is Parry -> 2S. Even if you trade you'll still have enough time to sweep and at least get knockdown if not a combo. The disadvantage being of course, 2S will lose to his 5K no matter what.

Finally if Eddie goes for his command grab, well you should be doing Parry -> 6H anyway because you'll be really close to him, but really any of Jam's pokes will beat him out since he has to guess that you're not gonna parry and wait for you to come out of blockstun. He can guess that you're going to parry and do it early but that's why you 6H, right? Really if you catch him a few times with the parry Eddie should be too scared to go for the command grab unless he's feeling really ballsy.

There is ONE universal option you can do that will beat out anything he does, and that's Parry -> Gold Burst and then you get 100 meter and knock him down and you get to laugh at the Eddie player.

The caveat to all of this is if the Eddie player is actually good and puts in a 2P in between the Mawaru hits you'll just get bodied and feel stupid for trying to be cool.

Now let's start the show

Just found this one featuring our very own Hideki and........ I'm shocked at his high level of skill: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYe52gG97io

[1.0] General Overview

Jam is a rush-down character archetype. Once in she can scare the opponent with staggers, tick-throws, high-low and which-way mix-up. She has good normals, abare, and damage, but she can have a hard time getting in against certain characters.

To describe her gameplay simply: she’s a mix between free-form rush-down and random. She requires that you flow through your options freely while not being too predictable (though this could be said for a lot of the cast). What makes Jam scary is her ability to be unpredictable while at the same time preserving above average abare and damage. A lot of the time her randomness must be respected (because it can be scary), which is why some players will call her “brain-dead”.

Playing Jam is not rocket science: she is a fast character with good normals and specials, so her game-play revolves around a good understanding of spacing. The difficulty playing her relies on how good you are at hit-confirming and how fast your hands are (read: execution).
