|overview= In ''Guilty Gear'', almost the entire cast uses a weapon of some sort. Sol and Ky use their swords, May uses a big anchor, Venom uses a pool cue, and Jam settles with her fists and legs. Taking inspiration from martial arts legend Bruce Lee, Jam enters the game as an oppressive and extremely mobile rushdown character who excels at getting in and establishing dominance with her oppressive normals before following up with extremely damaging and lengthy combos.  
{{card|width=4
|header=Overview
|content=Jam is a highly mobile, offense-oriented rushdown character who excels at up-close pressure and dealing heavy damage off openings.  


Jam's gimmick are her Card Specials. By pressing {{clr|2|22K}}/{{clr|3|S}}/{{clr|4|H}}, Jam can charge up a card corresponding to one of her Kick Specials, which are '''Ryujin''', a screen-crossing dragon kick, '''Kenroukaku''', an anti-air reversal, and '''Gekirin''', an overhead knee swipe. By sacrificing a card, Jam can choose to perform an empowered version of each one of these moves that carry much better properties. Jam's card specials are essential to her gameplan and will force your opponent to respect you, lest they eat an empowered Ryujin to the face and lose half of their life bar in a single combo.  
Jam's defining mechanic is her cards. By using {{MMC|input=22K/S/H|label=Breath of Asanagi}}, Jam can charge up a card corresponding to one of three kick specials. These specials are {{MMC|input=236K|label=Ryujin}}, a screen-crossing flying kick, {{MMC|input=623K|label=Kenroukaku}}, a {{keyword|dp}}, and {{MMC|input=214K|label=Gekirin}}, an overhead kick. By spending one corresponding card, Jam can input the move with the {{clr|5|D}} button to perform an empowered version of said move with a variety of improved properties. All three kick specials can be cancelled into enhanced kick specials, allowing for significant damage and corner carry. Jam's card specials unlock Jam's most damaging conversions and improve her gameplan drastically overall, making Jam a much more powerful character when she builds them.  


Although she has the shortest range in the game, Jam more than makes up for it with exceptionally fast normals, disgusting hitboxes, various means of being plus on block, and enormous damage output with her Card Specials. Outside of the Card Specials, Jam also has three reversal supers, a parry, a command dash and various command movement options to let her keep the pressure on once she gets in. Her command dash is particularly good for establishing midrange pressure as it can be cancelled into the infamous "puffball", a massive extended hitbox that's safe on block. Stocking cards allows her to cancel her Kick Specials into one another, which are great for punishing an opponent and dealing huge damage.
Jam's normals generally lack range, but are very fast and typically advantageous on block, as well as most hits leading to high damage with the right cards. Jam also has a powerful {{MMC|input=236S|label=command dash}} and various command movement options to maintain pressure once within range. Her command dash also has four unique followups, each with their own use in neutral and pressure, making it a versatile part of Jam's kit. Jam also has very fast and rewarding {{keyword|abare}} options and a a {{keyword|parry}} in addition to Kenroukaku, giving her strong and versatile defensive options.


The price she pays is that Jam's range falls short of the rest of the entire cast, and she has trouble getting in and around projectiles and zoning. She must take risks, often taking to the air or attempting to slide under things in order to get in, lest she be pushed back out and resume the struggle all over again. Once she gets in though, Jam gets to make her opponent's life a nightmare.
However, due to her overall poor reach, Jam struggles with contesting zoning or approaching the opponent She will generally need to rely on mobility to control space, since she lacks a strong long-ranged {{keyword|poke}} or other common ranged options. She commonly needs to take risks to approach the opponent, utilizing advancing options such as Ryujin or her fast airdash to close the distance and avoid the opponent.

{{ProsAndCons
|intro = is a mobile and versatile rushdown character who can empower her Kick Specials with Cards to make them incredibly deadly and excels at close range.  
|pros=
|pros=
* '''Insane Combo Game''': With cards, Jam can easily hit 50% health combos off of even stray hits. Her carded combos can also carry the opponent to the corner very easily, and all four of her supers can be used to end a combo with a powerful finisher.  
*'''High Damage With Cards''': With cards, Jam can easily deal 50% health combos off of even stray hits. Her carded combos also carry the opponent to the corner, and all four of her supers can be used to end a combo with a powerful finisher.  
* '''Strong Pressure''': Some moves are nigh incontestable once Jam gets in range, and her command dash has four follow-ups that each have purpose in mixups, gap closing, and pressure resets. Her {{clr|4|6H}} is notably  throw invulnerable, meaning Jam can completely ignore the traditional GG wakeup throw option select. With this pressure, Jam can establish a strong strike/throw game.
*'''Strong Pressure''': Some moves are difficult to contest once Jam gets in range, and her command dash has four follow-ups that each have purpose in mixups, gap closing, and pressure resets. Her {{clr|4|6H}} is highly advantageous and invulnerable to throws, making it a powerful pressure tool.
* '''Knockdown Central''': Jam can force a hard knockdown with her card combos, where she can immediately replenish her resources and re-establish threat.  
*'''Good Knockdowns With Cards''': Jam can consistently knock the opponent down with cards, and can replenish her resources and re-establish threat afterwards.  
* '''Great Mobility''': A fast ground dash and airdash let Jam move around the screen very quickly - usually towards her opponent. Her kick normals make contesting her airspace difficult thanks to their fast startup and huge hitboxes.  
*'''Great Mobility''': A fast dash and airdash let Jam move around the screen very quickly. Her air normals and tricky to whiff punish specials can make contesting her difficult.
* '''High Tension Pulse''': As Jam is always moving forward and loves to use her specials to control space, she has very high Tension gain. Her abundant meter can be spent for use in mixups, pressure, generating cards, or damage output.
*'''High Tension Gain''': Jam spends a lot of time moving forward and uses her specials to control space, additionally her powered up specials build a lot of meter on hit. Her meter can be spent for use in mixups, pressure, generating cards, or damage output.
* '''Incredible Defense''': Several moves with invulnerability, a solid meterless DP and no less than ''three'' different metered DPs give Jam lots to work with on defense. Jam's carded DP also allows her to convert into a combo on hit. On top of all this, she also has a unique Parry move that allows her to break out of pressure in ways other characters cannot.  
*'''Defensive Options''': Has two 3 frame reversals. Her Parry is a strong tool which removes any blockstun on success and allows Jam to break out of pressure in ways others cannot.  
|cons=
|cons=
* '''Abysmal Range''': Jam is outranged by the entire cast. Can make getting in or even playing neutral difficult.
*'''Limited Range''': Jam is outranged by the entire cast, which can make getting in or controlling neutral difficult.
* '''Weak to Zoning''': With no projectile nor means of dealing with them, Jam has no direct way to deal with strong zoning. Successfully using her dash and Ryujin are key to approaching, but both come with their own risks.  
*'''Weak to Zoning''': With no projectile nor means of dealing with them, Jam has no direct way to deal with strong zoning. Successfully using her dash, airdash, and Ryujin are key to approaching, but all come with their own risks.  
* '''Limited Mixup''': Jam's gameplan is centered around pressure, and thus her mixup potential is weak. She has limited meterless high/low mixup without Card Gekirin or RC to spend, which can make opening opponents up very difficult.  
*'''Needs Resources for Mixups''': Jam has limited meterless high/low mixup without enhanced Gekirin or meter to spend on RC. Her strike/throw mixups are strong, but her throw has poor reward without cards or its FRC.
* '''Mediocre Anti-Air''': Since {{clr|1|6P}} doesn't make for a great AA, Jam must rely on rising buttons, airthrow, or DP to deal with opponents approaching by the air.
*'''Mediocre Anti-Air''': {{clr|1|6P}} isn't a great anti-air. {{MMC|input=546|label=Hochifu}} is a strong and rewarding option you can OS with 6P, but it can be exploited as well. Jam must sometimes rely on rising air normals, her air throw, or Kenroukaku to deal with opponents approaching by the air.
|unique_mechanic1_name= Cards
|unique_mechanic1= Jam can use one of her specials to prepare cards which enhance her other specials by granting them new properties. Using the D instead of K button for the following specials results in the listed changes:
 
*Ryuujin: Wallsticks instead of wallbounce. Significantly faster startup and nearly tripled active time with more startup invuln and a large hitbox.
*Gekirin: Becomes three hits, hits crouchers much sooner, becomes untechable and knocks down.
*Kenroukaku: Starts on frame ''three'', hits more times, gains forward momentum, becomes untechable and knocks down.
These cards take time to prepare, and as such are usually prepared after a knockdown, or at full screen. Jam can use {{clr|2|22K}}/{{clr|3|S}}/{{clr|4|H}} for a card for a corresponding move, or {{clr|5|22D}} for one of each card.

|content=Jam can use one of her specials to prepare cards which enhance her other specials by granting them new properties. Using the D instead of K button for the following specials results in the listed changes:
*Ryuujin: Startup reduced from 17f to 11f. Strike invulnerability from 1-9f, increased from 1-4f. Sticks the opponent to the wall instead of bouncing them off it.
*Gekirin: Startup reduced from 19f to 12f. Hits crouching opponents on 18f instead of 21f. Has three hits instead of one. Increases untechable time by a significant amount, meaning it will almost always knock down.
*Kenroukaku: Startup reduced from 7f to 3f. Hits 7 times instead of 4. Gains additional forward momentum. Increases untechable time by a significant amount.
These cards take time to prepare, and as such are usually prepared after a knockdown, or at full screen. Jam can use Breath of Asanagi to gain one card for one special, with {{clr|2|22K}} giving a card for Ryujin, {{clr|3|22S}} giving one for Gekirin, {{clr|4|22H}} giving one for Kenroukaku. The FB version gives Jam one card for all three specials.

Fast, plus on block standing low. Useful in pressure due to the aforementioned properties in addition to its nonstandard 6F hitstop, which makes tick throws harder to react to. Also a common piece of combo filler in corner loops, and can be used in neutral similarly to {{clr|3|2S}} depending on the matchup.

Oppressive normal which often leads to the very scary {{clr|4|6H}}. Mixed with throws and other delayed pokes for frame traps, this becomes a go-to in pressure. In neutral, this move can be used to confirm into 6H to begin one of Jam's Card Ryujin combos, but be warned that it can push your opponent away from you at far ranges. Thus, try confirming into 6H early into the move's active frames to ensure that you can begin the combo.

Extremely fast sweep with great range for Jam. Valuable poke in neutral, combo filler to confirm into carded Ryuujin on most of the cast, and is jump cancelable to enable pressure resets.

Six frame sweep.
Notable for having an FRC window starting frame 1, which means Jam can effectively FRC any normal that can gatling into 2D. Used this way, Jam gets huge frame advantage off of blocked normals, specifically 6K(1), 6P, and f.S. Because the window starts frame 1 and lasts 6 frames, it's easy to execute and allows pressure resets from any situation.

On paper, an off the ground 19f overhead sounds awesome. However, grounded Gekirin goes high in the air, goes active in the air, and then has to fall down, similar to the woes of Greed Sever. It's dubious as to whether you can even really get a good combo off this - ignore it and go straight for TK Gekirin.
*Unlike Grounded Ryuujin, there is no reason to pass the benefits of TK Gekirin. Simply ignore this.

Air version that is slightly faster and overall better. Still props Jam up when activated. Highly useful as a neutral tool, as IABD Gekirin is a relatively safe way to put a hitbox on screen and can wall out characters trying to chase Jam down.
*Unlike grounded Gekirin, this version groundbounces, making it a great combo starter.
**Make sure to TK it, the lower to the ground you are the easier the conversion.
*IAD Gekirin will make Jam plummet down instead of making an arc. Depending on how you time it, you can get an ambigous Cross-up.

*This is also a very big part of Jam's Aerial Combo game. Overall really Solid.
An incredible move with massive amounts of invulnerability. Perfect for anti-airing overly-aggressive approaches or reversaling out of pressure. Makes Jam really annoying to pressure for long periods of time if she has this stocked. Has custom hitstop that makes it harder for characters like Dizzy to OS against it with fish out.
'''Additional Frame Data:''' ''Initial prorate 80%. Jam is airborne from 1F onwards. Floats opponent on hit (untechable for 90F). Hitstop 6F. Dizzy modifier x0.25. Uses up a charge stock on frame 1.''
 
</div>
Card Kenroukaku is also an essential air-conversion tool, as it causes the opponent to be launched up and dropped down after Jam has already landed, no matter the height. Any air hit can instantly be combo'd into Card Kenroukaku and put into Jam's grounded loops. Sadly, it prorates heavily, but the meter gain from the combos you can get with this move mean you can pretty much immediately perform {{clr|5|22D}} after it as a tradeoff, and it produces a hefty six hits. An overall exceptional special.

==== ====
*It's +4 on block
Jam will dash twice when doing this move. If you are far away, normal version will come out.
*It will always wallbounce, be it a normal hit or a Counter hit. Near the corner or with counter-hit, starts a combo.
*It has some added benefits when compared to normal Puffball:
*Has an FRC point at 21~24F to do a throw on whiff or get better conversion on hit if done at the 24th frame.
**It's +4 on block
The wallbounce on hit and fast movement makes it a useful combo tool, allowing Jam to cross the screen to followup on wallsplats or even just to extend a combo point blank. It has some use in chasing an opponents in the air and/or trying to anti-air them, or as a very straightforward call out against full-screen summons or resource collecting.
**It will always wallbounce, be it a normal hit or a Counter hit.
 
**Has an FRC point at 21~24F to do a throw on whiff or get better conversion on hit if done at the 24th frame.

{{GGACR Move Card
|input=236P,j.236P
|description=
Somewhat unusual, but versatile, movement tool in Jam's arsenal. Jam quickly flips off the ground diagonally upwards and forwards, focusing on verticality. When she does, she turns around, so even if you don't go over the top of the opponent all of your inputs will be backwards (e.g. 236P to flip, but inputting 236K in air will give you Gekirin as you are now facing left). Typically called "Flip".
*Can be sparingly used as a pressure reset tool due to its horizontal momentum, but is fairly reactable.
*FRC point at 6~8F will instead send Jam over the ground at a low angle without turning her around. More horizontal movement than normal flip and enables stronger pressure resets than doing it without the cancel.  
**Intended for cross-ups. This can be considered the only way to Attack high from a Bakushuu.
*You can do it on its own or as a followup/cancel to Bakushuu, this being the only way to deal with sliding moves like Grand Viper, Robo-Ky's 2K, etc...
----
Aerial Flip gives a bigger emphasis on horizontal movement. Great for avoiding certain moves. Turns her backwards like regular flip.
*Aerial Flip <em>cannot</em> be used after using double jumping in the air, but <em>can</em> be used after super jump as a pseudo-second jump while still retaining the ability to airdash.
*IAD Choujin sends her straight down. Just like IAD Gekirin and Kenroukaku, great for cross-ups (If you haven't noticed yet, Cross-ups are Jam's thing).
*Has the same FRC point as ground version. Air Flip FRC reduces the vertical movement and sends Jam very slightly further than normal. Unlike grounded flip FRC, she will still turn around.
**Has niche uses as a crossup mixup, specifically IABD Flip FRC allowing for a sneaky crossup {{clr|1|j.P}} or {{clr|4|j.H}}

The parry doesn't have any startup or recovery animation, however it does still have a cooldown of 15f on a failed parry attempt, this means that after inputting 546 it's possible to walk forward while the parry is still active, such as in a tick-throw situation, as the parry is only cancelled if you input anything but 5 or 6 after inputting the parry.<br>

Overview

Overview

Jam is a highly mobile, offense-oriented rushdown character who excels at up-close pressure and dealing heavy damage off openings.

Jam's defining mechanic is her cards. By using Breath of AsanagiGGAC Jam 22K.pngGuardStartupRecoveryTotal 53Advantage-, Jam can charge up a card corresponding to one of three kick specials. These specials are RyujinGGAC Jam 236K.pngGuardAllStartup17Recovery25+11 after landingAdvantage-23, a screen-crossing flying kick, KenroukakuGGAC Jam 623K.pngGuardMidStartup7Recovery21+6 after landingAdvantage-36, a dp Dragon Punch A move that has invulnerability during its startup, long recovery, and a rising motion., and GekirinGGAC Jam 214K.pngGuardHigh/AirStartup19Recovery3+10 after landingAdvantage-9, an overhead kick. By spending one corresponding card, Jam can input the move with the D button to perform an empowered version of said move with a variety of improved properties. All three kick specials can be cancelled into enhanced kick specials, allowing for significant damage and corner carry. Jam's card specials unlock Jam's most damaging conversions and improve her gameplan drastically overall, making Jam a much more powerful character when she builds them.

Jam's normals generally lack range, but are very fast and typically advantageous on block, as well as most hits leading to high damage with the right cards. Jam also has a powerful command dashGGAC Jam 236S.pngGuardStartupRecoveryTotal 46Advantage- and various command movement options to maintain pressure once within range. Her command dash also has four unique followups, each with their own use in neutral and pressure, making it a versatile part of Jam's kit. Jam also has very fast and rewarding abare An attack during the opponent's pressure, intended to interrupt it. options and a a parry An attack or mechanic that allows the defender to brush aside an incoming hit and recover more or less instantly. in addition to Kenroukaku, giving her strong and versatile defensive options.

However, due to her overall poor reach, Jam struggles with contesting zoning or approaching the opponent She will generally need to rely on mobility to control space, since she lacks a strong long-ranged poke An attack that's thrown out to occupy the space in front of you and remind your opponent not to try and come closer. Usually, this is a far-reaching and safe normal move with little risk. or other common ranged options. She commonly needs to take risks to approach the opponent, utilizing advancing options such as Ryujin or her fast airdash to close the distance and avoid the opponent.

 Jam Kuradoberi is a mobile and versatile rushdown character who can empower her Kick Specials with Cards to make them incredibly deadly and excels at close range.

Pros
Cons
  • High Damage With Cards: With cards, Jam can easily deal 50% health combos off of even stray hits. Her carded combos also carry the opponent to the corner, and all four of her supers can be used to end a combo with a powerful finisher.
  • Strong Pressure: Some moves are difficult to contest once Jam gets in range, and her command dash has four follow-ups that each have purpose in mixups, gap closing, and pressure resets. Her 6H is highly advantageous and invulnerable to throws, making it a powerful pressure tool.
  • Good Knockdowns With Cards: Jam can consistently knock the opponent down with cards, and can replenish her resources and re-establish threat afterwards.
  • Great Mobility: A fast dash and airdash let Jam move around the screen very quickly. Her air normals and tricky to whiff punish specials can make contesting her difficult.
  • High Tension Gain: Jam spends a lot of time moving forward and uses her specials to control space, additionally her powered up specials build a lot of meter on hit. Her meter can be spent for use in mixups, pressure, generating cards, or damage output.
  • Defensive Options: Has two 3 frame reversals. Her Parry is a strong tool which removes any blockstun on success and allows Jam to break out of pressure in ways others cannot.
  • Limited Range: Jam is outranged by the entire cast, which can make getting in or controlling neutral difficult.
  • Weak to Zoning: With no projectile nor means of dealing with them, Jam has no direct way to deal with strong zoning. Successfully using her dash, airdash, and Ryujin are key to approaching, but all come with their own risks.
  • Needs Resources for Mixups: Jam has limited meterless high/low mixup without enhanced Gekirin or meter to spend on RC. Her strike/throw mixups are strong, but her throw has poor reward without cards or its FRC.
  • Mediocre Anti-Air: 6P isn't a great anti-air. HochifuGGAC Jam Parry.pngGuardStartupRecoveryAdvantage- is a strong and rewarding option you can OS with 6P, but it can be exploited as well. Jam must sometimes rely on rising air normals, her air throw, or Kenroukaku to deal with opponents approaching by the air.

Unique Mechanics

Cards

Cards GGAC Jam 22KIcons.png

Jam can use one of her specials to prepare cards which enhance her other specials by granting them new properties. Using the D instead of K button for the following specials results in the listed changes:

  • Ryuujin: Startup reduced from 17f to 11f. Strike invulnerability from 1-9f, increased from 1-4f. Sticks the opponent to the wall instead of bouncing them off it.
  • Gekirin: Startup reduced from 19f to 12f. Hits crouching opponents on 18f instead of 21f. Has three hits instead of one. Increases untechable time by a significant amount, meaning it will almost always knock down.
  • Kenroukaku: Startup reduced from 7f to 3f. Hits 7 times instead of 4. Gains additional forward momentum. Increases untechable time by a significant amount.
These cards take time to prepare, and as such are usually prepared after a knockdown, or at full screen. Jam can use Breath of Asanagi to gain one card for one special, with 22K giving a card for Ryujin, 22S giving one for Gekirin, 22H giving one for Kenroukaku. The FB version gives Jam one card for all three specials.

Need help getting started? Go to this page for information targeted at new players. It covers easy combos, key moves, and what to do after you knock the opponent down.
StartupThe time before an attack is active. Written startup values include the first active frame, so the startup on a frame chart will display one less square than the written value. Frames
Active The active frames of an attack refers to the amount of time an attack can hit the opponent. Frames
InactiveFrames in the middle of multi-hit attacks which cannot hit the opponent, but are after the move has become active at least once. Frames
Recovery The recovery of an attack refers to the amount of time an attacker must wait before they may perform another action, even blocking. Frames
Special RecoveryThe recovery of an attack refers to the amount of time an attacker must wait before they may perform another action.Recovery frames which happen under abnormal conditions, such as after landing. Frames
ProjectileIndicates an entity that exists separately from the character has become active. Usually something like a Fireball A projectile which usually travels slowly across the screen in a horizontal path above the ground.. Active
CancelA window in which to cancel a move. Can be varied in usage. Window

Standing jab with remarkable startup and a high hitbox. Typical way to start pressure up-close due to its speed, gatling options, and advantage on block. Whiffs on a lot of crouching characters, and some standing characters like Zappa. Can catch people trying to jump out of pressure, or be used to quickly anti-air after a parry.

  • Decent AA for spaced airborne opponents.
  • Often cancelled into a jump or 2D to extend pressure or put a low in a blockstring.
  • Combos into TK Ryujin and characters at least as tall as Millia for big damage.
  • One of Jam's best options to convert into an air combo from the ground.

Pressure extraordinaire.

  • Oppressive move on contact. +1 on block, and three hits means you build guard bar like mad.
  • Has some upper body invulnerability and low profiles on the last hit.
  • Third hit vacuums, keeping Jam in range for mixups and pressure resets off the slight frame advantage.
  • Forces crouching on hit for stronger confirms.
  • Gatlings into long-range, jump-cancellable 6K and f.S, valuable reverse gatlings that provides versatility in Jam's blockstrings for ambiguous pressure resets.
  • Miserable on whiff, and if pushed out with FD before the third hit connects and vacuums, Jam is -7. Be wary of spacing.

Oppressive normal which often leads to the very scary 6H. Mixed with throws and other delayed pokes for frame traps, this becomes a go-to in pressure. In neutral, this move can be used to confirm into 6H to begin one of Jam's Card Ryujin combos, but be warned that it can push your opponent away from you at far ranges. Thus, try confirming into 6H early into the move's active frames to ensure that you can begin the combo.

Lower than usual 6P meant for catching buttons more than jump-ins.

  • Upper body invul frames 1-20. Designed to beat other characters' farther f.Ss
  • Plus 2 on block, in case they didn't take the bait.
  • Both hits stagger on grounded CH for easier confirms
  • Gatlings from and to 2P for pressure cycles and repeated frame traps.

Typical style 6P for an infighter. The extensive upper body invul can be used to blow through projectiles. Eg. parry a meaty Charged Stun Edge and going into a 6P is a basic strategy against Ky.

Fairly weak normal, but forces standing on hit.

  • Good for pressure after a blocked 5H.
  • Horribly unsafe, make sure you cancel into something else. Both hits are jump cancelable.
  • First hit has nonstandard hitstop which could make useful for an early cancel.
  • Forced standing might be useful to combo into TK Ryujin or something.
  • Notable for huge frame advantage for Jam after 6K(1) > 2D FRC. If FRC'd on the first frame, Jam is around +9 on normal block.

Mainly used as a blockstring option to gatling out of 5H and back to the beginning of the gatling ladder to continue pressure, 6K has value in an open gatling table that allows reverse gatlings and pressure resets. Can cancel into 2K or 2D for a low late into a blockstring, 2P for plus frames on block, or even on whiff to make 6K safe at longer ranges. Can be jump canceled for safety, to enable TK Gekirin, or IAD pressure resets. Long-range means it's likely to be in range after a blocked 5H(3). A utility normal that finds no real place in combos.

Universal Mechanics

Ground Throw

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery On-Block Invuln
42 43 pixels

Average throw but with free followups. Gives a short superjump combo, but no knockdown without meter or cards.

With FRC and/or cards, throw becomes a terrifying damage threat for Jam, leading to full 2H > 6H wall-loop conversions and a hard knockdown. Due to Jam's strength as a strike/throw character, throw FRC is her most important FRC to learn, as the threat of it leads to more value from her numerous frametraps. As a visual cue for the FRC window, the window appears when Jam has fully retracted her legs in her animation, as she's about to kick her opponent.

  • A big corner stone of Jam's game. If you don't have meter for 22D or want it to save it for something later, this is the way to go move after a knockdown.
  • Most characters will want to Play the Zoning and keep away game against Jam. If they are playing too passive against you, charging cards fullscreen will not only grant you cards, but also make them try to stop you, and Jam wants their opponents as close as possible.
  • Rule of thumb: if you don't have any charged cards already, you'll want to priotize Charged Ryuujin over Charged Kenroukaku, Charged Gekirin being the least important.

Please note all version of Ryuujin hitboxes are not that great. Even though there is disjoint, you are moving forward very fast and will put the hurtbox in harms way. A lot of moves will beat them, and most can crouch under the entire duration. Yolo Ryuujin at your own risk.


236K

Conversion and punish tool.

  • Mostly overshadowed by the TK version of Ryuujin. Worse damage and frame data, although some combos, mostly max f.S > TK Ryuujin will fail where Ground Ryuujin succeeds.
  • Very Shitty Reversal, but you could technically get a CH punish out of it, and CH Ryuujin is pretty good

j.236K

TK Ryuujin is a force to be reckoned with. A mainstay in Jam's combo game in conjuction of Powered Ryuujin

  • Using TK Ryuujin sparringly is a good way to maneuver around the field.
  • IAD Ryuujin stops Jam on her track, turning Aerial Ryuujin in a lingering hitbox meant to stop Anti Air and Air to Air attempts. This is horribly unsafe on whiff, but it's useful to keep in mind.

236D

Powered Ryuujin is one of Jam's most important moves. Learn to love this move.

  • Does good damage and wallsplats from anywhere on the screen, enabling easy combos. Depending on how high the wallsplat is, tension/cards may have to be used, but generally you can get free continuations.
  • Having a stocked Ryuujin card will force opponents to play on point, as this makes a speedy and debilitating whiff punish.
  • Strike invuln makes it an extremely rewarding, though very predictable and punishable, reversal option.

On paper, an off the ground 19f overhead sounds awesome. However, grounded Gekirin goes high in the air, goes active in the air, and then has to fall down, similar to the woes of Greed Sever. It's dubious as to whether you can even really get a good combo off this - ignore it and go straight for TK Gekirin.


j.214K

Air version that is slightly faster and overall better. Still props Jam up when activated. Highly useful as a neutral tool, as IABD Gekirin is a relatively safe way to put a hitbox on screen and can wall out characters trying to chase Jam down.

  • Unlike grounded Gekirin, this version groundbounces, making it a great combo starter.
    • Make sure to TK it, the lower to the ground you are the easier the conversion.
  • IAD Gekirin will make Jam plummet down instead of making an arc. Depending on how you time it, you can get an ambigous Cross-up.

214D

This Version is both a faster overhead and a better combo tool (with cards). It's better for conversions against high airborne opponents than 236D but utterly kills the damage of the combo after it due to terrible GB-.

  • Produces four hits quickly with little space between them, which can be useful for summons, armor, and even clashes.

j.623K

Not very good on its own aside from combos. You are probably looking for the IAD version

  • IAD Kenroukaku, Just Like IAD Gekirin, sends Jam downwards instead of upwards. Although the invincibility period is small, it may just be enough to beat some weaker grounded anti airs

623D

An incredible move with massive amounts of invulnerability. Perfect for anti-airing overly-aggressive approaches or reversaling out of pressure. Makes Jam really annoying to pressure for long periods of time if she has this stocked. Has custom hitstop that makes it harder for characters like Dizzy to OS against it with fish out.

Card Kenroukaku is also an essential air-conversion tool, as it causes the opponent to be launched up and dropped down after Jam has already landed, no matter the height. Any air hit can instantly be combo'd into Card Kenroukaku and put into Jam's grounded loops. Sadly, it prorates heavily, but the meter gain from the combos you can get with this move mean you can pretty much immediately perform 22D after it as a tradeoff, and it produces a hefty six hits. An overall exceptional special.

Jam will dash twice when doing this move. If you are far away, normal version will come out. It has some added benefits when compared to normal Puffball:

  • It's +4 on block
  • It will always wallbounce, be it a normal hit or a Counter hit. Near the corner or with counter-hit, starts a combo.
  • Has an FRC point at 21~24F to do a throw on whiff or get better conversion on hit if done at the 24th frame.

The wallbounce on hit and fast movement makes it a useful combo tool, allowing Jam to cross the screen to followup on wallsplats or even just to extend a combo point blank. It has some use in chasing an opponents in the air and/or trying to anti-air them, or as a very straightforward call out against full-screen summons or resource collecting.

Still, this move is gimmicky as all hell and keen players will stop you in your tracks if you abuse it, so don't use it purely to close the gap in neutral.


If Jam is close to the opponent, crossup version comes out.

It's generally a worse Puffball, except for one thing, the Dizzy modifier is astonishingly high. With Jam's IK being one of the best in the game, any dizzy usually turns into a death scenario. Risky, but has its uses.

  • Requires insanely close distance to convert off the wallbounce. On counter-hit it will convert easily, but gauging the distance to the corner will be hard since Jam isn't moving forwards as much.

Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery On-Block Invuln
236P Total 41+2 after landing
j.236P Until landing+2

Somewhat unusual, but versatile, movement tool in Jam's arsenal. Jam quickly flips off the ground diagonally upwards and forwards, focusing on verticality. When she does, she turns around, so even if you don't go over the top of the opponent all of your inputs will be backwards (e.g. 236P to flip, but inputting 236K in air will give you Gekirin as you are now facing left). Typically called "Flip".

  • Can be sparingly used as a pressure reset tool due to its horizontal momentum, but is fairly reactable.
  • FRC point at 6~8F will instead send Jam over the ground at a low angle without turning her around. More horizontal movement than normal flip and enables stronger pressure resets than doing it without the cancel.
    • Intended for cross-ups. This can be considered the only way to Attack high from a Bakushuu.
  • You can do it on its own or as a followup/cancel to Bakushuu, this being the only way to deal with sliding moves like Grand Viper, Robo-Ky's 2K, etc...

Aerial Flip gives a bigger emphasis on horizontal movement. Great for avoiding certain moves. Turns her backwards like regular flip.

  • Aerial Flip cannot be used after using double jumping in the air, but can be used after super jump as a pseudo-second jump while still retaining the ability to airdash.
  • IAD Choujin sends her straight down. Just like IAD Gekirin and Kenroukaku, great for cross-ups (If you haven't noticed yet, Cross-ups are Jam's thing).
  • Has the same FRC point as ground version. Air Flip FRC reduces the vertical movement and sends Jam very slightly further than normal. Unlike grounded flip FRC, she will still turn around.
    • Has niche uses as a crossup mixup, specifically IABD Flip FRC allowing for a sneaky crossup j.P or j.H

Hochifu

546

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery On-Block Invuln
1~8F Guard High

A parry that catches highs and mids. On successful catch it will remove all blockstun from the move however hitstop is unaffected, Jam is able to buffer any normal or special during this.

The parry doesn't have any startup or recovery animation, however it does still have a cooldown of 15f on a failed parry attempt, this means that after inputting 546 it's possible to walk forward while the parry is still active, such as in a tick-throw situation, as the parry is only cancelled if you input anything but 5 or 6 after inputting the parry.

As strong as this move is remember that it doesn't catch lows so you still have to guard low from time to time, especially on wake-up.


See this section for more advanced details.

Jam's divekick, it has uses as a way to stall in the air against AAs, but its main use is that it hits overhead and when immediately cancel into from a jump it's her fastest overhead.

Despite the move's minimal height requirement Jam is still able to do this move immediately out of a jump as her initial jump height is higher than the minimal requirement.

One of the best and most tilting Force Breaks in the game.

Fast, leads to big damage, has a massive dizzy modifier, possesses tons of invincibility from frame 3 onward, and is completely safe on block to boot. Not only does this make for an amazingly safe horizontal DP, this version of the Puffball can also cancel into 22X and any of Jam's charged kicks. If you got a CH from this move, you are allowed to grin maliciously. Great move.

Massive ki ball with startup throw invul, multiple hits, and vacuum, which leaves Jam at +1 to run a frametrap or mixup if they're scared.

  • Freezes opponent's inputs from the flash until the 2nd active frame.
    • Them not blocking beforehand means you get the hit, as long as Jam isn't sticking her face into a hitbox.
  • Hits a large area and can be difficult to avoid.
  • Will not cost tension if Jam is hit before the superflash.
  • Works as a decent pressure reset and just to let Jam resume her blockstrings/mix. Also sees use as a combo ender thanks to its whopping 9 hits, to ensure they're dead.

Jam's reversal super.

  • Invincible into the first active frame, goes active on 7 instead of 10.
  • Also freezes opponent's inputs after the flash.
  • Leaps forward about a third of the screen, hitting backdashes or opponents committed to a move with an extended hurtbox if farther away.
  • Only does one hit on block, but connects into an animation with every hit if it connects.
  • It's quite possible for the opponent to fall out on air hit or if hit from very far away. Be prepared to RC if you have the meter.

  • Comes with an FRC point on the first hit for safety.
    • This FRC comes with the added bonus of 150% proration and stagger for big grounded followup damage.

Jam's inner North Star.

Usually a for-fun move, Tousai can't be cancelled or juggled into in any way. The only way to combo into this super is by linking it off of 6H raw or through a (typically short) grounded combo beforehand. In exchange, it ignores all scaling, defense modifiers, and guts, as it consists of 100 strikes that do 1 damage. It's very practical, though at most health values it's far from optimal.

Generally, you shouldn't worry about this super outside of situational optimizations that lead to a kill, but it is very cool.

  • Also a reversal, but considering the 100% tension cost, you should probably never be choosing it over any other option.
  • Only does one hit on block, but connects into an animation with every hit if it connects.
