I want to perfect Jax I been using him and only him since day one. I want to learn all the match ups and Jax weakness.
Me personally I feel like scorpion and subzero are the worst I have trouble with. How can we unite and conquer all?

What characters do you have trouble with the most as Jax and why?

Mileena is mine. Even though she's unsafe, her ball is able to punish and avoid most of Jax's tools, her mixup game is solid, and you can't zone her out.

I haven't been having as much trouble with SZ as I used to. In Pumped Up you can zone him pretty well as long you watch out for MB Ice Ball, and X-ray gets you out of clone traps in the corner and puts SZ in instead.

I forgot about mileena. And yeah I hate you can't zone her.

Full screen ground slam in pumped up shuts down everything mileena does at full screen.

What's she gonna do?
Ball - Ground Slam
Sai - Ground Slam
Stand there - Ground slam
Jump neutral - Ground slam
Jump forward - lunge punch
Tele Kick - Ground Slam
Air Tele Kick - Ground Slam/ Lunge depending on the scenario

And yes she can jump ground slams but if she's jumping all the time punish her for it, that's the mind games bruh.

You can jump ground pound on reaction, leading to air tele punish 100% of the time. What read is there to make?

Are we implying pumped up better than heavy and wrestler?
Wrestler or Heavy Weapons might be better against characters like Mileena who can punish the Pumped Up -9 Gotcha, since theirs is only -4. Otherwise I think Pumped Up handles most matchups as good if not better than the other two.

Me personally I do not like pumped up. Only because the gotcha grab I can't do certain setups in the corner and in the middle of the screen the gotcha knocks them further away from me

we only use gotcha at midscreen if it's EX gotcha used as a reversal special.
the restand gives you +4, and removes wakeups, if anything it leads to more setups!
