Hey guys, can you give me some tips on how to handle his reverse controls special move? I don't have Jason so I can't lab him. Can someone just break the special move down?

Your best defence is a good offence. It has ridiculous start up, so constant pressure will prevent him from activating it. Use projectile pressure if you're character has them. If he gets hit during red screen, red screen ends.

Holy fuck. I can't wait to see the "greatly increased" damage from the Damned buff. :O Since they fixed it stacking through rounds, let's hope that they really did make it worthwhile to be low on health.

How do you guys deal with characters who have great pressure and faster normals? Liu is a good example, dude lays down the pressure and I can block correctly for the most part, but when I try to retaliate dude is already throwing out faster moves and stuffing all my attempts at going on the offensive.

Learn someone else for that MU, lol. I'm being serious. Three of the characters I use get mopped by Liu. Jason, Tremor and Jacqui. They can't match his pressure or do much about it.

Lol I think you are right. My Slasher just got wrecked by a Flame Fist, and then I got matched up with the same guy again but tried MOS Ermac (Who I just picked up) and faired a lot better, I still lost, but I didn't get completely destroyed and held my own that time haha

Try using him in tournament. You'll understand.

I'm aware of his weaknesses. But, are you aware of his strengths?

I mean even REO plays him in the wrong way. You sure you know how he plays?

Edit: he probably don't even cares about slasher, but still he is the only tournament slasher footage there is... no?

Yes I am and I'm also the only channel to release many tech videos breaking down this variation that aren't day one bullshit. I await someone to do well with this variation in tournament. It just won't happen and people don't care enough for him to get buffed. Slasher really is terrible at high level.

My channel is Infinityworld. There's no others with tech for Slasher. (That's not rubbish)

Slasher gameplay is around pushing your opponent in the corner, either by canceling everything into shoulder once you make contact (block or hit), or patiently by spacing (carefully walking forward and anti-airing) your way to the corner.

Then he has SAFE (and now uninterruptable) 50/50's, standing resets with ex throw and his short range moves aren't such a pain in the ass anymore. The only problem with his jumps (that they don't cover much horizontal distance) is also out of the picture

You just have to struggle your way there. but, it's not casuals, you need to beat 2 matches. You need patience for a tournament anyway

He is, but not unplayable. The user just needs to know his shit. Plus he can get pretty gimmicky.

There are matchups and specific gamestyles he can beat

Easier said than done but you have to control neutral for kang I usually zone him with db2 its a mid take advantage once he gets antsy time to make reads bait out fly kick and punish if he jumps in b122 and if he happens to get in armor I rarely lose to kang any variation the real question is how to deal with heavy zoning can someone answer that for me please

Jason basically has meter for the sole purpose of armoring out of pressure. People don't really understand exactly how much damage say a relentless Jason who is close to death can do with a single armored choke. Getting zoned is really just one of jason's weaknessess. In Relentless you have the teleport which you can time or EX to break the zoning game. In Slasher, you could try to counterzone with the machete toss, but I'd use it sparingly and try to creep up on my opponent. Unstoppable, well.... you're pretty much SOL. Best thing you can do is throw the heal on and pucker your butthole for a game of flappy bird against liu kang. Also, EX temple punch and EX shoulder charge. It seems like EX shoulder charge has less range than EX temple punch but both have surprisingly good anti air properties. I always catch Kitanas trying to float and throw fans. And don't forget you have a move that gives you infinite armor. If you're close to closing a round, don't be afraid to use it to close the distance. Just don't butter finger.

@KeO kHaN
Sorry it wouldn't quote the post

TLDR: Armor out of pressure, EX shoulder charge/temple punch to counter zoning, teleport, machete toss, and heal

lol. Indeed. I'm most curious to see what they do with Slasher. Unstoppable has some overtly and glaringly under-powered specials that obviously need to be buffed. But, with Slasher, it is harder to know exactly what to buff and how.
