Character Info
Jadou2 is about as far away as you can get from regular Jadou. A straightforward rushdown character with small normals, but capable of high damage from even his weakest combo starters.
His excellent ground speed and long forward/backward superjumps, along with a fireball that can help cover him from anti-air or low-profile angles allow him to pose a threat from anywhere given enough space.
Go fast, find a hit, keep applying pressure and you will find yourself being able to take rounds in as little as two combos.

Strategy
Neutral
Jadou2 has a multitude of tools to allow him to surprisingly play an actual neutral game. Though he will normally be string to advance Jadou2 can play a keep away game due to his fireball being ably to anti-air, and deal with low profile moves, as well as have some good range on some his normals, notable his j.C for air to air and air to ground control, and 2C for ground interactions. In terms of dealing with your opponents air approach Evil Dragon is your best bet due to being only 3 frames of startup, and will usually trade at worst
Offence (On Hit)
On hit Jadou2 will do one of two things, go for a reset with Hidden Devil, or more normally do a combo. Combo wise Jadou2 is quite straight forward, with his combo game being a question of how much meter do you want to spend for extra damage before you get a HKD with your Dancing Wolf ender. Alternatively, with proper spacing near the corner you can loop Evil Dragon ~> Evil Dragon Claws up to three times meterless in the corner, which builds more meter and does more damage then your standard HKD ender. You will unfortunately give up corner and HKD with this ender but it is still an option for more damage.
HKD OKI
After a HKD you have a multitude of options to open the opponent up, but there never is a straight forward "correct" answer, and you will have to implement some free form mixups and conditioning to properly open the opponent up.
Nonetheless, here are a few standard options to consider.
- Meaty Normal
- Meaty Dancing Wolf A into follow up of choice
- Jump over IAD back j.C
- TK Evil Fang
- Hidden Devil cross-up, afterwards you can Hidden Devil again for a re cross-up, or you can do one of the above
- Back throw
This isnt the be all end all for Oki as there are a multitude of other options. For example, in burst your Energy Roar ~> Energy Roar Evil Shadow is a catch 22 meaty with proper delay of the follow-up, as if they block they will be guard broken and subsequently will eat a combo, and if they parry to dodge the Energy Roar a delayed Energy Roar Evil Shadow will catch their recovery, again leading to a combo.
Offence (On Block)
On Block, like his HKD Oki, is entirely free form with is usually consisting of a 2D -> 2B -> 2C > 214A/B/C ~> Follow up, with the mixup of Hidden Devil at any point during these 4 hits for a reset in pressure, and depending on when you use it it can either cross-up of remain on the same side. You also have Flying Tendrils and P Thunder after Dancing Wolf, with Flying Tendrils being safe on block, and P Thunder having a SoT cancel, allowing you to restart your pressure. You can also use Evil Ghost to end your pressure if you want to reset back to neutral.
Defense
Jadou2 unfortunately dosen't have much more then anyone else for defense. While you have Hidden Devil it has no invincibility, and Evil Dragon, while only 3 frames of startup, will lose to a properly timed meaty grab, a parry, and anything with invincibility like a backdash. Your backdash is also too slow to see any real defensive usage with the same going for Ultimate Devil Black Ghost Circle, your only reversal super. Thankfully you still have your standard guard cancel to get out of pressure, though this still costs 1 bar of meter.
Combos
BnB Combos
Combo | Total Damage | Notes | |||
As a rule of thumb, all Jadou2 combos, throw combos exempt, can be started with j.C >> 2D or if close enough j.C >> 5/2C for better damage | |||||
Meterless BnB | |||||
2A -> 2B -> 2C > 214C ~> D ~> D | 139 | Standard BnB when you lack meter. Ends in a hard knockdown still so you get to run your oki mixups. | |||
Back Throw >> 623D ~> D | 101 | Standard back throw combo that will work on everyone. | |||
Back Throw >> 214A ~> D ~> D | 112 | Better Back Throw combo that does more damage then the above and grants a hard knockdown. Does not work on Hiro2, Roze, Eartj, Jadou, or Mayura. | |||
Back Throw >> {623D ~> D}x3 | 143 | Standard back throw combo that will work on everyone. Requires you to be near the corner. Builds a full bar of meter should the full combo connect. | |||
One Bar BnB | |||||
2D -> 2B -> 2C > 214C ~> D > 236236A/B/C ~> 236D >> 5C > 214A ~> D ~> D | 256 | Your standard 1 bar BnB combo. Works anywhere, deals good damage, and ends in a hard knockdown. | |||
2D -> 2B -> 2C > 214C ~> D > 236236A/B/C ~> 236D >> 5C > 623D ~> D >> 623D ~> D | 259 | Combo that looks cool but isnt as practical when compared to the above combo as you give up a hard knock down for literally 3 more points of damage. | |||
Back Throw >> 214A ~> D > 236236A/B/C ~> 236D >> 214B ~> D ~> D | 176 | Character specific back throw combo that works anywhere. Will not work on Roze, Earth, Jadou, Mayura, or Hiro2. Hiro2 the 214A ~> D will hit but it will hit too low to actually continue the combo. | |||
Back Throw >> 623D > Delayed SoT >> 214B ~> D ~> D | 137 | Seal of Time extension that guarantees a hard knock down on every character. | |||
Two Bar BnB | |||||
2D -> 2B -> 2C > 214C ~> D > SoT >> 66 >> 5C > 623D > Delayed Sot >> 5C > 214A ~> D ~> D | 278 | Your main 2 bar BnB. Deals great damage, gets a hard knock down, and will let you get corner from anywhere on the screen. If you are in the corner at the start you must dash after the 214C ~> D > Sot and 5c before the Sot runs out. | |||
2D -> 2B -> 2C > 214C > 236236A/B/C ~> 236D >> 5C > 623D > SoT >> B+C (AAABBBCCCD 236D) | 264 | Dust ender combo. Wont work if the opponent is too close to the corner after the 236236A/B/C ~> 236D. If they are then you have to micro dash after the 236236A/B/C ~> 236D for the 5C to connect. Will leave you with about 2 2/3 of meter. | |||
2D -> 2B -> 2C > 214C ~> D > SoT > Whiffed Burst >> 66 >> { 5C > 623D > Delayed Sot }x3 >> 214214D | 406 | Alt Route Burst Combo. Requires 2 bars by the time you do the first Sot. | |||
Three Bar BnB | |||||
2D -> 2B -> 2C > 214C ~> D > SoT >> 66 >> { 5C > 623D > Delayed Sot }x2 >> 5C > 623D ~> 6D >> 623D ~> D | 317 | Non burst meter dump combo. Brings the opponent into the corner from any range. After loop, ender can be substituted with a 214B ~> D ~> D for less damage(295) but gets a hard knockdown. | |||
2D -> 2B -> 2C > 214C ~> D > SoT >> 5C > 623D > Delayed Sot > Whiffed Burst > { 5C > 623D > Delayed Sot }x3 >> 214214D | 406 | Burst Combo. Requires 3 bars for this route. |
