Backstory
Jodie is someone who doesn't have a past, was born without a name, or better yet, doesn't know his past. He just knows that he was always alone. No family. No mother. No father. No anything. When he was young he would do anything to survive. He was very raw and almost emotionless having to deal with the struggles of the world alone, but one day he met someone named Kaige. Kaige is a very lazy and laid-back guy, but he has a strong sense of justice and likes to have fun. He was the one to give Jodie his name, and because of him, he discovered the power of "The Wielder". After going through so much together, now his precious friend is missing. Outside of the Strike Force, Jodie also works for a secret organization called "The Company" along with Kaige. Now ever since Kaige went on a reconnaissance mission and lost all contact. Jodie vows to search for his friend either dead or alive till the day he dies.
Gameplay
Jodie is a versatile and very fast stance character who can freely choose between being a rushdown and being a sword fighter. He can trade fast moves and burst movement for massive hitboxes and powerful fatal counterhits and vice versa at will, allowing you to play Jodie however you desire, as long as it's up close and personal.
Strengths
Weaknesses
Exceptionally High Damage Output - Jodie can easily defeat his opponent in 2 touches if they don't starburst.
Many Strong Reversals - They give him a better disadvantage state than most of the cast.
Great Mobility - He has a very fast run speed, and he has fast additional burst movement that allows him to quickly get in when he sees a chance. In addition, his fast movement makes it difficult to camp Jodie out.
Exceptional Meter Build - Giving him enough meter to do his exceptionally high damage often while continually having access to his extra movement options.
Very Good Normals - Many of Normal Jodie's moves are faster than average, while all of Sword Jodie's moves have very large hitboxes and decent range.
Strong Pressure - With meter, Normal Jodie will always have the threat of an invulnerable command grab out of 214B within his blockstring, forcing the opponent to think quickly or get caught in a very damaging combo, while without meter he has a very fast low and strong overheads to mixup his pressure. For Sword Jodie, As long as Jodie has meter to do S.j.5c, Jodie can continually and safely reset his blockstring for constant mixups.
Damaging Fatals in Sword Mode - Sword Jodie's 5b and j.b are both large fatal counterhits that come out decently fast at frame 6, and will easily convert into damaging combos (if he has the meter).
Has a Reversal Air Grab - While the move greatly reduces combo damage after it's use, not many characters have an air grab, let alone a reversal air grab. Use it wisely.
His Approach is Vulnerable - Some of his common approaching moves leave him vulnerable and wide open, if only for a brief moment, making him susceptible to reads or to being stuffed out.
Lack of range on everything - Jodie has to rely on his speed, and he has to get in at some point to get anything done.
Universal throw does not combo - Jodie does not get rewarded as much as others for landing a normal grab, meaning that he must spend meter in some way to combo off of a grab, whether that is doing a command grab or doing starburst.
Unreliable Anti-Airs as Normal Jodie - Every anti-air normal Jodie has is very stubby, and most of them have a lot of end lag on whiff.
Cannot Charge Meter as Sword Jodie - Sword Jodie essentially runs on limited fuel if his meter is not managed properly.
It's a fast poke that confirms into either continued pressure or a combo.
Safe on whiff.

Jodie does a high kick.
Can function as an anti-air if timed properly, but there are better moves for that.
Can be done in a block string to set up a pseudo 50/50 of either canceling into 5C and doing a high attack, or canceling into 2A for a low attack.
Achieving the right circumstances for this is difficult, but may be worth it for an extremely fast pseudo-50/50. It's safest to do this by canceling into 5B from your 5A jab in a blockstring.

Jodie breakdances on the opponent.
This move has very high meterbuild, so it's a staple in every combo.
Useful in blockstrings as it leads to 5BBB, which can be canceled.
This move itself can be cancelled into several important pressure moves for unpredicable pressure. Some routes completely punish many forms of retaliation, and others take advantage of a scared opponent.
It can be cancelled into 5C. Only do this if you are certain that the opponent won't press buttons.

Jodie kicks the opponent high in the air.
This is one of jodie's main launcher in combos. It's advantage over 6C is that it builds meter rather than drain it, but it does slightly less damage and consumes juggle.
On block, this causes a lot of blockstun for the opponent, so you can cancel the move to take advantage of it. Twinkle cancelling it is especially powerful (and very costly) as it leads to a guaranteed 50/50.
Extremely negative when instant blocked.

Jodie jumps and slams his opponent downward with a kick.
Strong Overhead out of a blockstring.
Serves as a good knowledge check.
Also good for catching opponents trying to mash out of your blockstring, as this fatal hits especially hard, and it will always beat lows and universal counters.
Normal Jodie's most effective meterless anti-air, but also his riskiest one.
Invul on start-up.
Cancelling this version of the move on hit will cause the combo to drop, as it's instantly techable.
Tip: When on the ground, Back Dash > j.5C is a very effective way of beating many aerial moves as it combines the Invul Frames of Back Dash and the start up of this move.

Jodie follows up with a slash downward, knocking the opponent down.
Puts the opponent in knockdown if it lands while still being safe on block.
Just like the first part of this move, this part also fatals and can be staggered.
Basic stuff like the landing page and navbox is in, along with some system pages.
System page is complete.
Clean up and finish the rest of the character pages. Every page needs to be updated to account for changes in updates 2.0 to 2.4.
Create netplay page.
Update FAQ
Add patch-notes from 2.1 to 2.4.
Finish adding frame data to every page, and begin adding hit-boxes to every page. Glitch is currently the gold standard in the gameplay section, hitboxes aside. (Avoid doing Violet's at all costs however!)
When Adding Hitboxes: Only take images from Fighter Factory. This is to keep the look of the hitboxes clean!
