Chain Rules: Magic Series
Jason Lee Scott is the original MMPR Red Ranger and a natural born leader. A 17-year-old black belt, Jason's sly smile betrays his rugged young warrior mantle to reveal a kid next door with a bit of a mischievous streak.
Overview
Jason is a fairly straightforward character who stands his ground. His 2H is jump-cancelable and is used to start air combos, but it doesn't launch by itself, letting him do extended combos against grounded opponents. Similarly, his assist doesn't launch, which helps other characters extend grounded combos. Combining an offensive rushdown style with decent zoning properties, he's an easy character that helps you learn the basics of the game.

Strategy
Jason is a fairly straightforward character - he doesn't kill solo, and he doesn't have the greatest mixups in the world. However, he plays neutral very well using his j.S gunshot and his 4ss gunshots to keep the opponent glued in place until they either make a mistake he can capitalize on with damage or pressure. In addition, Jason has access to routes that build a metric ton of meter, and save important states like spins and wallbounce, if you learn his blaster loops.
The combination of these two things make him an incredible "battery" character, building bar and tagging out to a damage engine that can finish the job for him, like Dog, Eric, Trey, or even Kat if properly routed.
Solo
Even Jason's best routes won't kill all characters, so solo he has to opt for resets. His best reset opportunities are doing 5L on an airborne opponent, and then dashing under. In the corner, if timed properly, this can be either a real or fake crossunder, and is basically invisible until you're hitting the opponent.
Team Synergy
Jason is at his best being a midliner on your team. Putting him here gives you access to his strengths - his assist to use for mixups or neutral skips, and his high meter gain - while avoiding his weaknesses as a solo character, like his lack of solo mix and low damage output. He is formidable when combined with a damage engine that can make use of his meter gain.

Blaster loops
Jason's combo game at higher levels is reliant on juggling people as long as possible by using Jason's air gunshot, as the move does decent damage and builds a healthy amount of bar. These loops are done by doing j.LMS with some delays between each button press. The rhythm of the button presses is actually very similar to a Waltz, with Waltz no. 2 by Dmitri Shostakovich being the closest in time. If done properly, these loops can build 2 bars, and are able to be tagged out of into every damage engine in the game for an easy kill.

2L Plinks
Jason's damage drops even more than normal when doing midscreen routes because he doesn't have any ways to consistently carry to the corner and put out damage. The solution to this is to plink into a dash from 2L. Doing this allows Jason to carry an opponent further on the screen while saving a launcher, effectively increasing his available damage.
