My favorite female character Jade is the subject of this combo workshop. I feature 19 different combos for different situations. She's been one of my favorite characters since the game came out, and I hope this helps anyone that might be interested in playing her. Thanks for watching!

If you use the term "spam" I have no time for your argument.

Great job as always man. I suck so hard with Jade though. What is your suggestion on how to use her best? More keep-away or more rushdown?

Very nice!

I had no idea she had staff overhead resets. Do you have to use the enhanced version for the reset or does the normal do the job as well?

I hardly ever use her x-ray, I constantly burn her meter for the enhanced glow and occasionally for her enh. staff overhead which can be cancelled into from her 3, 4 string (high, low) and also for her enhanced upwards boomerang to set up a reset.

Here's another meterless BnB that ends with a special move, so it's good to use as it build your meter:

jip, b+1 into Staff Overhead - b+2 - dash in - b+3, 2 into Staff Grab

This one does between 30-35% damage (can't remember precisely), but it's nice since it's meterless and it ends with a special move.

The "b+3, 2 into Staff Grab" can be tricky to pull off, so there's an easier finishing part that can be done instead, the "f+4 into Staff Grab" string. This one will do 1-2% less damage though.

Thanks Smoke, and for always viewing and leaving feedback on the vids I really appreciate the support.

As far as Jade's strategy, I tend to favor her in matchups against characters with dash attacks that I can easily punish, so I use her more in a zoning way...but she is certainly capable of being a great rush down character if you use her invincibility (BF+3), the enchanced not only protects you against projectiles but also will provide armor against a hit. Overlooked as well is her mixup potential based on the 3, 4, QCB+2(ex)...the damage here isn't anything jawdropping, but it makes her a viable character for varying gameplay strategies. I always select her against Mileena cuz she is a great counter to both the roll and the teleport kick (even when the mileena user protects with the sai cancel you can still punish her bad with B+2).

She's a solid choice against any projectile heavy character considering her invincibility.

@ Nephrite

Thanks to you as well for your continued support and feedback on my videos.

As far as the staff overhead resets....you MUST use the enhanced version. The normal takes too many frames it will never connect. The timing is also insanely precise. I must admit this was the most difficult link timing wise I've come across on this game. I came across the reset by accident and then studied it for about 2 hours making sure it was truly a reset. You have to connect with the initial B+2 early as to send your opponent to the highest possible peak, and the timing is such that you need to input ahead of Jade's landing on the B+2....it's very difficult but it's very fun to pull off when you get it. Plus it adds about 12-20% damage capability to her attack. I wouldn't count on landing it too often online though lol. Timing is very precise. There is a method to it though I promise you once you get it you will love it.
