Depends on your opponents.

I use meter whenever I see an opportunity to deal an extra 3k damage or if it helps me win.

Drive pressure can be good if you are not predictable.

I'm visiting from WA, currently staying in LA. Only staying until Monday night. Anyone up for BB? Let me know.

Spam Rachel's top tier God Hand, God Fork, and God Chair with 5D for safety. God Hand for when they are in the air, God Fork for when they are on the ground, and God Chair for when they are on top of you. Noel can spam drive, but so can you. Rachel's schwartzis bigger than Noel's schwartz.

It hits. Dumb combo, but it hits, got to time it right. Any of the 3 kicks, 236k, 214k, 623k works. You have to do it really fast. Combo strategies? There are combos and there are strategies. For basic combos, go to Flash Metroid's Jam Basics thread. Go through the forums.

Ragna uses 3 main weapons against Noel: Hell's Fang Jumping C 5B/5C If you block Hell's Fang, you can punish Ranga with 5A. It is -4 on block. You have a small window to execute this. 3C goes under Hell's Fang. Jumping C - You can 6A it, but Ragna will use max range. Then you cannot do anything except IB. 3C goes under 5B and can go under 5C if they don't see it coming. Ragna tends to dash towards you often, a well timed 3C will turn the tide. Also a well timed 2D against his low poke will give you a free combo. You are hoping to see Hell's Fang as there are only a few options after that, Throw attempt, Rapid, or the follow up. Ragna's gains the advantage by training players to keep blocking his seemingly safe strings. If you see an opening, 5A or IB into 5A to stop the pressure. When you get launched into the air, and Ragna is finishing his uppercut chain, get ready to throw break in the air. Also, if he picks you up from the ground a second time, get ready to tech neutral and block a high low mixup. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong on some parts. I am not 100% on this.

Jin mistakes against Noel: 1. Launching a projectile when Noel is within 3C range. 3C if he does this. 2. Doing the Ice Car follow up. 3. Blocking too much You can go under Jin's 5D with Noel's 3C if you do it around the same time. Check to see if your opponent favors using Jin's uppercuts. If he does, next time you knock him down, run towards him and block/instant stop outside of throw range. Noel's 6A can beat Jin's 5D from my experience. I literally see the animation, like the blue circle that summons the dragon head. I'm not 100% on this. Be careful of 5D into ice car, if blocked, into charged uppercut, (the one that cost meter). Like normally, they Rapid Cancel the blocked ice car. I got hit with that lol. Noel's strategy should be to be above Jin when he's in the air because Jin's swirly air attack does not hit above. That's ideal, but just catching him with jumping B when he's high enough to not see you coming from below would also work. When approaching Jin from the ground, you want to be right above Jin's 5D with j.B or just outside of it. To get out of Jin's pressure, when you are being combo'ed, do not tech to either side. Tech neutral and fortress him out to jump out of any corner or fortress in the air. Cracking Jin's defense will be based on your distance and his recovery from moves. Jin's first line of defense is his projectiles, ground and the 25% meter projectile and his outer drive (2D), the ice pillar from the ground. As soon as you are within 3C range and out of Jin's 5D range on the ground, you have reached his 2nd defense, his Drive attacks and far uppercut. You just need to block and inch forward to get him within your 5B range. His final defense is his high hitting uppercut or to jump away and ice car to the other side. Jin only has enough time to either use his first line and final line of defense, or his 2nd line. If you see him use his 2nd line of defense, or 3rd line, you have a good chance of hitting him with the exception of his uppercut that hits horizontally. He has enough time, if he uses that while you are outside of it's range to use it again before you get to him.

As a Noel player, I hate this matchup more than Nu players. Trust me. This thread should not exist lol.

Anyone here play on XBox Live?

Hi Wolf Pup TK, I'm going to piggyback on excelence and recommend that you go through the threads and read everything. When you get towards the more recent post, you will have gained a lot of insight on how Jam is played and what areas you should work on. When you have mastered the basics, I believe my thread can give you some ideas on playstyles. If you have a question on strats etc, post it there. I've been playing more of BB recently. @excelence: I noticed Noel on your signature. I also play Noel. Wonder if Jam players lean towards Noel. lol.
