Jason Lee Scott
Mighty Morphin' Red Ranger

Introduction

Health: 1000
Walk Speed: 900 forward, 375 back
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.

Playstyle

Jason Lee Scott is an all-rounder character with an incredible assist
Pros	Cons
Support Value - Jason possesses a fast ,forward moving, multi-hitting assist that also crosses up, creating easy sandwiches Yeah I mashed - Jason unquestionably has one of the best 2Ls in the game, being an incredibly quick and decently sized low Sniper - Jason's j.S gunshot has incredible durability and also a ton of hitstun, allowing for some pretty nutty confirms with plinkdashing Outta there - 4S acts as a great tool to safely disengage from most blockstrings	No mix - Jason's lack of overhead options can make opening your opponent up quite a struggle The spice of life - Jason's best routes require a lot of adjustments in timing depending on what character is being juggled

Strategy

Jason is a fairly straightforward character - he kills off most hits, but doesn't have the greatest mixups in the world. He can, however, play neutral very well using his j.S gunshot and his 4ss gunshots to keep the opponent glued in place until they 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.

This makes him an incredible "control" character, forcing the opponent to play the kind of neutral you want, and capitalizing on any slipups with massive damage.

Solo

Jason's easiest routes will kill most characters, but not everyone - so solo he sometimes 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 meaningful solo mix. He is formidable when combined with a point who can get him hits from a distance.

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. If done properly, these loops can build almost 3 bars, and will kill meter positive from most starters. To perform the loop, use a launcher, jump, and then after your first j.LM or j.MS to stabilize, re-jump and while rising, press j.L. At the top of your jump, do j.M to keep them at the same height. Then, while falling, j.S so that they fall onto your gunshot.

2L Plinks

Jason's damage drops slightly when doing midscreen routes because he has to use his second launcher early, taking away some damage and meter gain from his enders. 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.
