Jam Questions and Critique Thread

[Xkun01]

I understand the concept is to get the most damage with wasting as less tension as possible correct?But I figure, she has many moves for a reason, so I want to make use of as many as possible. If you want to wallstick all day, then I say go for it. But there's much more beyond that. I don't think wasting tension is bad, just knowing when to use tension. I didn't say zoom to every combo when you get the chance either

Everyone plays his style of course. There´s no "best way", but look at KA2/Mike/Kazu. They own so fucking much for some reason.

KA2: Has awesome wall combos..@,@

Mike: Is my fav. One of the Jam's that inspired me.^__^ His style and mine are similar.

Kazu?Whats he play like?

[Hideki]

Kazu is IMO the 3rd Jam in Japan.

He plays kinda weird, with some crazy mixups and cool combos. He´s a mix of both KA2 and Mike styles.

LOX is also playing pretty damn good lately.

[Xkun01]

Kazu fights..exactly like me!?OoO Except he's slightly more defensive.

[R.D.K]

Man kazu is a solid jam but that dude drops combos sometimes when it counts but his jam is stright. Man shounen has mad KA2 go to the lab and start over I have not seen any KA2 vid's for a while.

[Hideki]

It has been rumored that KA2 has retired, at least for some time, from the GG scene.

[Climhazzardous]

Hamashoo's style has taken a very interesting turn, he's gone kinda old school using JI combo's now, but his overall style has become inventive and slightly more reckless than before. He takes a few embarrassing losses recently, but I can see that it's due to him trying to adapt a new style.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He will always be know as the Best Slash player ever period!!!

[Dark Vision]

anyway to connect her secret super in combo?

[xenophobian]

yes, you can...theoretically...after a charged 236K counter f.e. but when you combo into the super, the opponent can tech after 30 hits...really strange

[Luigi-Bo 87]

So, after a blocked f.s, I sometimes do iad, crossup j.k into ryujin->charged ryujin->loop. Is this good, or are there better crossup options?

[Doren2k]

IAD crossup HS is good thats what I use. After it connects you can do Far slash into tk kick combo etc.

[Luigi-Bo 87]

Cool. What's a good way to maximize my damage off loops? Whenever I have a lot of tension, I usually do as many fb's as I can in a row, and then do the loop. Is it smarter to do something else?

[Doren2k]

Basically when I loop i always try to get a knockdown. I only burn meter in loops at the end when it guarantees a wall mixup. Or when I know its gonna kill the opponent. Otherwise I just go for meterless loopz into kd in the corner.

[Luigi-Bo 87]

I seez. Can you parry out of blockstun ala red parry? If so, I can't do it at all. Is qcf+s,p a good way to set up a thow?

[Doren2k]

Nope you can't parry out of block stun. And QCF+S, P is good at times don't abuse it though.

[Luigi-Bo 87]

Any use for her card FB, or her cards that aren'r ryujin for that matter? And what's a reliable throw combo for people like May/Baiken?

[Doren2k]

THe Slash charge the one for the 214k is good for instant overhead. But its reallllllllllllllllllly unsafe on block unless you have 50% to RC it. But on hit you get free big combo and possibly wall combo if your close to the wall. I never use HS charge it seems useless in this game. Throw combo on bacon and may will be the same as everyone else just delay the followup. Throw FRC, S,2HS, 6HS, Delay the followup, dash in 2HS,6HS,HS x2.

[Luigi-Bo 87]

That's all? Craxy Jam being all cool and junk. This may sound dumb, but any tips on iad 2k? I sometimes get iad 623k when I go from iad to 2.

[Doren2k]

Hmmm Just make sure you go right down to 2. Thats what I do and j.2k comes out.

[Luigi-Bo 87]

Guess I just gotta practice more. Thanks!

[mikosu]

I just signed up for the forums a few mins ago so hi everybody. After getting into Jam as much as I have (she's my main) I think she would benefit hugely from a command throw. Godzilla raping damage aside it would an incredible addition to her offense. What do you think?

[xenophobian]

until you give it more range than her normal throw i don´t see the point...you alreay have your brilliant normal throw that leads to anything you want if you invest 25% tension...and jam can burn tension everywhere she wants...i don´t know how much dmg. she can get of it in the corner, but it exceeds all the command throw dmg. (unless you FRC potbuster)...and a normal throw always has better properties than a command throw...no startup, no whiff animation(option select grants you a very short "whiff animation" that also attacks) but i´d love to have a aerial comboable command throw that gives knockdown (like aerial potbuster or shit)

[Dark Vision]

maybe sol's command is better too.. anyway, in the corner with frc u can get around 125 dmg and possible KD. btw i started now to play around with the ping pong loop(just made up that name) i saw in some of KAZU match ups. something like: yada yada. wall splat, 236s hs, s(jam's back to the wall) 2hs (1hit) FB (sending them to the wall again) 236s hs. now heres i think i can do the ping pong again, or go for one normal wall loop(s 2hs 6hs hs), or go for s© s(f) j.s j.p j.s jc dj.s j.hs 236k for now i think the most reliable is the third option(air combo), after of course i spent all my tension with FB in order to score dizzy... I mean really, that fucking retarded, i hit with counter 236s hs, or 236s s, and dizzy, can get... well.. dizzy. Even if in the start I am tensionless. it's really begone to become just a try to hit as many puff ball as can enter. really, retarded character :P
