Why does Sektor beat Jade? That MU seems even to me...and just to re-iterate what Reed said, I think Sub is even as well. I would like to know more about the Sektor MU though...
Sektors Footsies are great against Jade. Flamethrower is an excellent tool to use against Jade. It limits her jump ins, she can't shadow kick to move, and once she respects it, she eats F2 all day. Jade's hitbox is large, and Sektor can actually bullying her if played right. She cannot zone in this match at all due to IaT. It's not a big disadvantage, but I tried not to make any half points, so the matchup gets awarded to Sektor.
Almost forgot to mention, Sektor builds meter in this matchup hella faster than Jade.
OMFG a match up discussion! Quick! Everyone disagree with it until we have 20+ pages of bickering!
I'd call CSZ even - but I haven't fought enough of them to firmly believe it. And I'd say Reptile and Kenshi have a few more notches in their favor lol. But again, lack of experience on Reptile - especially offline. So I could definitely be wrong there.
I'm curious. How is Kitana 4-6? Jade shuts down her zoning, but she's got a good rush down. It's hard to keep her out. I've always thought it was a fun match, but even or slightly favoring kitty. TELL ME THE SECRET DAMN IT
CSZ can be a bitch due to his dive kick. That alone makes it hard for her to contain him. He wont be taking away 50 Percent from it, but it really does shut down a lot of her options. Parry works well against Jade when she is trying to utilize her spacing game as well. (B32, F2, etc all get destroyed by that parry on reaction). She can't throw rangs at all (full screen dive kick). And Cyber sub can make it hard for her to even approach him.
Once again, to avoid using halfs, I rounded up to a full 4-6.
Based on my experiences playing Barakas, I peg the matchup as a 5-5. Jade can punish the blade charge, but with only 8 percent. Baraka can actually abuse blade charge very well in this match and keep jade turtled up. He absolutely cannot zone in the match, but his EX charge gives him the ability to get in Jades face whenever he wants. Jade has a hard time approaching Baraka properly due to him being a god damn stegasaurus. They both make it hard on each other tho.
Kitana beats Jade 4-6. Jade removes her zoning, but her rushdown is eons better than Jades. D1 completely neutralizes Jades poking game, and JK air fan makes it risky to do ANY aerial assult or anti air. Good Kitanas make Jade hole up pretty quickly. Kitanas F2 > Jade's F2. Both characters are fighting for the same space midscreen, but all Jade can do is wait to get nailed by F2,1 or 21. She doesn't have a whole lot of answers for either. Full screen works out well for Jade, but Kitana can get in at any mis timed rang with square ass for free.
6-4 Kitana.
Reppy Jade is interesting. Online it is a definite 4-6. Offline where dash is punishable 5-5. Jade reduces reptile to Dash, and D4 to start anything on her.
