That's what caught my attention about the character when I tried her out in Xrd, she's such a wacky but cool character, which is literally her split personalities. I wish Faust still had that wackiness, but unfortunately he's zombie man now
It's amazing and mind boggling how popular Guilty Gear has become after the release of Strive. I mean, if 7 years ago, someone had told me that there's a challenge based on a character's crouching position, I wouldn't have believed it
She probably has the most unique block animation of all the fighting game characters I've seen. And she's also the one who made the new trend of "fan arts" I keep seeing lately.
Idk arc sys in particular has made a bunch of cool and entertaining block animations like Slayer's window washing or Hilda straight up sitting down. And then all of the Skullgirls block animations are pretty great
Love Jack-O already, even if the learning phase is gonna take a while. Mirror matches look like insanity, but I guess that goes for most mirror matches, to be fair
Yeah, I was super worried about her losing almost all of her non-Servant tools from Xrd. But I'm diggin' Strive Jack-O right now. I'm getting to the point where I'm not tripping up my buttons anymore, lol.
She's not ranged at all, her goal is to knock you down, put a servant behind you and cross oki you, it's a nightmare, at least until i find a way to deal with that massive bullshit.
@@federicopalacios7439 Max doesn't know the counter servant though, that's where I think it'll get nuts. You can *always* count on the Unga Bungage..... :3
I'd say it's because, while the skill celing is very high, the basic stuff is fairly simple to learn. Zato is more dependant on Eddie and since Eddie can die making mistakes can be very punishing. Servants offer a lot of stuff but you're not getting your shit kicked in as hard when you're not that good at using them. Plus, execution is easier and more akin to other characters than Zato. A complete beginner playing Zato essentially has a stick while with Jack-O they get a baseball bat. They're not good at swinging either of these, but the bat is at least heavier.
Watching those little idiots fly across the screen just makes me so happy. Where are they going? Why did they just get kicked? They don't know. They're just along for the ride.
oh if you let the intros plays in the jack o mirror she has one that goes Jo1: "you know what i'm thinking?" Jo2: "your the brain right? I'm supposed to have fun!" lol
What? Her name's inspiration is Jack-o'-lantern. The fact that she moonwalks to make the ball go backwards is because that's you move backwards when walking on a ball.
@@The_Meev One of Michael Jackson's nicknames, coined by the tabloids, was "Jack-O." Usually when he'd do something crazy-You know, "Whacko Jack-O" did this, "Whacko Jack-O" did that.

@@shadysheister yeah but she stole his gimmick. She stole the _metaphorical_ drip I mean its a vastly for the better change but it murders the chance of Venom dlc-
I LOVE how goofy she is! From how she carries and runs away with the little dudes to her being countered when she's crouching she turns into a dog xD And her SWIGGITY SWOOGITY run 😂
Oh god the minions are reflective of the costume colour, but the snow stage has lighting that throws on a dark shadow on them. This is gonna get real messy in some situations I can feel it.
Tried her for a bit and she's too complex for me haha, went straight back to my Ram, but she has a ton of charm & love facing her online (unlike that plague Axl)
As a pot main (and yes I know we got problems being braindead meatheads fishing for HPB) I don't mind fighting jack-o at all she's an interesting match-up with pot compared to other zoners in the game. Death stares at Axl lowtier lol jk
@@genelearnsenglish4242 Yep. I laugh when people suggest that it's going to get people interested in Strive. They just in it for the lewd art. Once the meme passes, very few will have even tried Strive, let alone play with Jack-O.
Shes a lot different from Xrd, what is kinda sad cuz i main her, BUT Im really enjoying her New gameplay. I think thats actually better! Still some Strategy Game character vibes
@@kidvex5741 instead of summoning The minion itself, She used to summon and toss Tiny boxes that summons The minions. Each box had a life bar, were static and summoned a type of minion that move towards The enemy and attack em. You could summon up to 3 boxes that fill The entire game with servants. It was really cool and tricky.
Everyone who please Jack-0 just for her gameplay I’ll just do a set up or two, summon a minion here or there Everyone else who play Jack-0 are like The last part of 4:23 to 4:28
My single complaint with her new gameplay is that it probably means that my boy Venom isn't making it in. She definitely fills the hole that was missing from his super pressure, no defense gameplan. I'm having fun with her, but I'll miss my bro with the Bangs n' Balls.
Funny Story: My friends and I tried doing the Jack-O pose IRL and I was the only one who could do it. (My friends haven’t looked at me the same since😅)
Played against my boyfriend(Jack-O) with Goldlewis and I lost over 70 matches. Granted, I don't play Strive actively and there's almost a decade-long gap in experience between us, but shh. I can't say if I was just really bad or if it was a bad match up(probably both), but we already nicknamed it "Forever Elysium Nightmare".
@@chillaxboi2109 Goldlewis is slow and chunky and Jack-O is very fast, also the minion shield is big oof. More likely it was just me being not that good, but I still pray for anyone going against a decent Jack-O.
@@aRBy125 dont bother trying. people are used to big numbers and will still find that 50 hit combo and do it just because it's a 50 hit combo. Even when the damage would be less than that of the 2 hit into super. :p it's their reward for living in training room hell
I have no idea what's going on, but I love it! XD GG characters have so much charisma and charm it makes other fighting game characters look plain and boring by comparison.
I’ve heard from a lot of people that Jack o is super complicated and as a person who has played fighting games a bit but still has trouble doing combos and such, Jack o to me seems super easy to understand and I don’t know why. Even baiken made a lot of sense to me in Xrd
I really don't like playing this game but good god is their character animation god tier I actually just bought the game to look at how beautiful everything is, I really love animation but unfortunately never got to properly study it, and seeing amazing animation like in this game makes me really consider starting.
Kinda depends on who you play really Jack-O is probably not a good choice for a beginner but Ky and Sol are, you can also get away with robbery playing with other characters like Potemkin.
Never played a GG game properly until Strive. It took me a week to get relatively alright at it. You learn the buttons, the movesets, and how and when to use all the different mechanics really quickly imo. That's the fundamentals. Learning characters is a different ballgame, so it depends on who you go with. Ky is a really easy character to learn, while Zato is extremely difficult and finicky to pick up.
Max is having to much fun playing Jack-O. Although I will say this that's Sol badguy has definitely got one trophy wife that even I would stick with... except Baiken-chan...and Ramlethal-chan...and Giovanna-chan...and Millia-chan...and I-NO-chan.
I haven't seen mixups like this since Eddie and Zato mugged me in the alley behind Denny's.
I just started playing Guilty Gear today, but this joke is still funny even without any context
Man you have no right to be this funny

And she's also the one who made the new trend of "fan arts" I keep seeing lately.
Nothing screams crazy then blocking with a chainball attached to your leg, looking like a spaced out ballerina.
Her RCs animations are also so good
@Leith Aziz PAGY each and every animation has so much charisma. From jumping to basic moves. No wonder they couldn't release her on launch
I think they both had their good points. If she played the same way here all it would take is a single wall break and bye bye to all that work! 0.O

"We need more challenges in the animation." -Arc Sys making Raven playable in Xrd.

"looks like jack-o' takes skill now. oh well."
just realized all ranged characters in STRIVE are goofy as hell.
wonder if it's intentional

Jack O being a 2* difficulty character must be the biggest lie to exist in this game
Right? I don't know why they didn't make her 1*, she clearly doesn't fit with the other 2* characters
I think 3 star is more appropriate idk but everyone else but I found her easy to learn
It's "easy to use" not "difficulty" so it makes sense
