Closed Beta Jade Discussion

[ImperatrixSindel]

Jade: Kronika sends you against me?
Jade: She's the future's only hope.
Jade: You've been seduced by lies.

Jade: Time has collapsed yet again.
Jade: Maybe not for the last time.
Jade: How many more of us are there?

Jade: This spell must be broken.
Jade: You don't command such magic.
Jade: Who says I need any?

Jade: Are you friend or foe?
Jade: We are twins, Jade.
Jade: That doesn't answer my question.

Jade: You must join me in fixing time.
Jade: And commit us to a dark future?
Jade: Our sacrifice will save the realms.

Jade: Is there another Kotal, too?
Jade: We won't have to share.
Jade: Then what is it we're fighting over?

I can't seem to get the run cancel to work.

you have to hold the 3 button and press back+R1 at the same time, don't let go

 

[Doctor Future]

requirement for 124 krushing blow?

I think the first hit has to miss, so only the 2,4 connect. Can’t confirm. Trying out.

that's it

 

[Rex24]

So i'm assuming you can hit confirm a lot of stuff into pole vault as it is safe on block

 

[ImperatrixSindel]

requirement for 124 krushing blow?

First hit has to whiff.

 

[ImperatrixSindel]

Kabal: Whats your beef with me?
Jade: It's not enough you're Kano's lackey?
Kabal: Well, as long as it isn't personal.

Opponent always speaks first and in this build it seems like this is the only one for playing Jade versus Kabal.

 

[Blizer]

So it seems like Jade actually falls in love with Kotal

this is going to be a very spicy out world conflict

 

[ImperatrixSindel]

Playing Jade vs. Baraka interactions I've found:

Baraka: You've earned Tarkata's loyalty, Jade.
Jade: I only did what was right.
Baraka: It took strength to defy Kotal.

Baraka: If Kitana cheats us, Tarkata will rise
Jade: She's never shown disloyalty, Baraka.
Baraka: Except to the Kahn who raised her.

Baraka: I'd think twice about being Kotal's bride.
Jade: And why is that, Baraka?
Baraka: If he betrays Tarkata, you will suffer.

 

[Doctor Future]

Anyone find any other combo strings that KB besides 1,2,4?

 

[Tony at Home]

So it seems like Jade actually falls in love with Kotal

 

[GLoRToR]

Jade's overall framedata seems pretty mediocre but then I haven't seen the rest of the game yet so I'm comparing this to mk standards in general.

 

[ImperatrixSindel]

Skarlet: You never could accept me.
Jade: Your lust for power sickens me.
Skarlet: Or perhaps it's that I'm not Edenian.

Skarlet: The sweet blood of Edenians.
Jade: You'll have none today, Skarlet.
Skarlet: I will bathe in it.

Skarlet: What brings you here, Jade?
Jade: I owe you a few scars.
Skarlet: Upset that I nicked a vein?

 

[JBeezYBabY]

Jade can DEFLECT BRUTALITIES! WHAT THE FUUUUCK! Im in love <3

 

[GLoRToR]

Can you check how her frames are in comparison to the other available characters?
Also please take a look at any guaranteed followups on hit, etc

Im at work right now, but once i get home, i will stream Jade today

 

[GLoRToR]

Good.

Her frame data's raw numbers have me concerned.

 

[ImperatrixSindel]

Jade: It's not too late to join Kitana.
Skarlet: I'll never betray Shao Kahn.
Jade: Then face the consequences, Skarlet.

Jade: This isn't how you earn my respect.
Skarlet: I want Shao Kahn's, not yours.
Jade: You will gain neither, Skarlet.

Jade: Shao Kahn's blood magic is evil.
Skarlet: It invigorates me, Jade.
Jade: It destroys your soul.

 

[MkPeezy]

anyone figure out jade's brutalities ?

 

[Kal]

My current 2 setups for Jade:

1) Amplify Blazing Nitro Kick.
2) Deadly Assassin.
3) Edenian Spark
---------------------------------------
1) Amplfy Blazing Nitro Kick.
2) Deadly Assassin.
3) Vanishing Winds.

I feel I'm pretty sold on the first two, ESPECIALLY Deadly Assassin that gives her so much shit, but the 3rd one I'm still not sure. I gotta try out Pole Vault a bit more to see how I feel about it.

 

[Vslayer]

Didn't try her yet, I was playing Kabal, but this outfit tho:

She looks like a Jedi.

 

[Espio]

Okay here's a huge grown woman dump of info for everyone. Her complete movelist is listed below.

Also from my observations in terms of strings/normals I like

Forward 4 is -4 with good range

Back 3,4,3,4 is awesome for stagger potential, frames etc. Last hit is +5, first hit -2 and middle hit is -7 so safe.

Forward 3,4,3 is her low (I hate that it resembles her above, only complaint), but is safe at all points

Back 1,2 I thought was unsafe but not so sure since the AI doesn't seem to be able to punish it on block.

1 is plus one so great for staggers.
1,2 has a low
1,2,4 is safe.
2,1 good stagger
2,1,2 good, safe string
Forward 2,1 is the overhead at minus 12.

Those are the core good/safeish strings/normals.


Love flash in this game for how long it is especially with how punishable some projectiles are.

Low spark, air diagonal glaive, and her shadow kick are nice and I think her parry really compliments her counterplay/style.

 

[ImperatrixSindel]

Her down kick out of short hop is a miniature version of Tanya's whirling dive kick.

Yes, and it also goes over pokes.
