Jam is all about rushdown.

Although she has the shortest range in the game, Jam more than makes up for it with exceptionally fast normals, disgusting hitboxes, various means of being plus on block, and enormous damage output with cards. She has a variety of reversals, a parry, her puffball and various transport options let her keep the pressure on once she gets in. Stocking cards allows her to cancel her kick specials, Ryuujin, Gekirin, and Kenroukaku, into one another, as well as use powered up variations for massive damage. Jam can very quickly have the opponent's health drain into nothing.

The price she pays is that her range falls short of the rest of the entire cast, and she has trouble getting in and around projectiles and zoning. She must take risks, often taking to the air or attempting to slide under things in order to get in, lest she be pushed back out and resume the struggle all over again. Once she gets in though, Jam gets to make her opponent's life a nightmare.

Lore:P.W.A.B. Report #7403: Though she is a chef, subject is one of the world's most proficient wielders of Ki force. Of the five occult arts, the field of 'Ki' energy is the least explored and understood. Most of its users are of Eastern descent, aiding the theory that heredity plays a role. Subject's life goal is to discover new and useful cuisines. Control will not be an issue. Although she poses little threat in and of herself, her capture is still desirable. Therefore, she should not be taken lightly.

 Jam Kuradoberi  Jam Kuradoberi is all about rushdown.

Pros
Cons
  • High damage potential: With cards, Jam can easily hit 50% health combos off of even stray hits.
  • Incredible hitboxes: Some moves are nigh incontestable once Jam gets in range.
  • Combos lead to knockdown: Knocks down particularly easily with cards. Can make her DP safer with cards.
  • Great mobility: A fast ground and airdash let Jam close the gap on a single whiff.
  • High meter gain: Abundant meter for use in mixups, pressure, or damage output.
  • Parry: Strong tool that allows Jam to break out of pressure in ways others cannot.
  • Abysmal Range: Jam is outranged by the entire cast. Can make getting in or even playing neutral difficult.
  • Weak to zoning: With no projecile nor means of dealing with them, Jam has no real way of dealing with strong zoning.
  • Limited meterless mixup potential: Fairly limited high/low mixup without Card Gekirin.
  • Mediocre Anti-Air: 6P doesn't make for a great AA, Jam must rely on rising buttons, airthrow, or DP.

Jam can use one of her specials to prepare cards which enhance her other specials by granting them new properties. Using the D instead of K button for the following specials results in the listed changes:

  • Ryuujin: Wallsticks instead of wallbounce. Significantly faster startup and nearly tripled active time with more startup invuln and a large hitbox.
  • Gekirin: Becomes three hits, hits crouchers much sooner, becomes untechable and knocks down.
  • Kenroukaku: Starts on frame three, hits more times, gains forward momentum, becomes untechable and knocks down.
These cards take time to prepare, and as such are usually prepared after a knockdown, or at full screen. Jam can use 22P/K/S for a card for a corresponding move, or 22D for one of each card.

  • Commonly used to confirm into f.S > TK Ryujin.
  • Often relegated to combo fodder.

One of Jam's only farther reaching pokes. Meant for space wars.

  • Decent AA for spaced airborne opponents
  • Should always cancel this with a JC or 2D though to make it safe.
  • Combos into TK Ryujin and characters at least as tall as Millia for big damage.
  • One of Jam's best options to convert into an air combo from the ground.

The Guard Bar Generator

  • Oppressive move on contact. +1 on block.
  • Three hits means you build guard bar like mad.
  • Has some upper body invul and low profiles on the last hit.
  • Third hit vacuums for mixup and pressure resets.
  • Forces crouching on hit for stronger confirms.

Oppressive normal which often leads to the very scary 6H. Mixed with throws and other delayed pokes for frame traps, this becomes a go-to in pressure.

Additional Frame Data: Upper body invincible 22~24F, 34~36F. Low profile 25~33F. Forces opponent into crouching state on ground hit. 3rd hit pulls in opponent on hit. 1st and 2nd hits have hitstop 7F

6P
GGAC Jam 6P.png
The close range Anti-Poke rather than Anti-Air
GGXXACPR Jam 6P-1-Hitbox.png

1st hit (Frame 7)

GGXXACPR Jam 6P-2-Hitbox.png

2nd hit (Frames 19-21)

Damage GuardHow this attack can be guarded. Throws have their throw range listed instead.
High: High or air Faultless Defense
Low: Low or air FD
Mid: Any ground block or air FD
StartupHow many frames it takes for the move to become able to strike the opponent. Startup includes the frame on which the move becomes active. ActiveHow many frames for which the move has a hitbox where if the opponent touches it, they will take damage. Occurs after Startup. RecoveryHow many frames that the move must go through after its active frames end to automatically go back to a neutral state. On-BlockAlso known as Frame AdvantageThe difference between the attacker's recovery and the period that the opponent is in blockstun. This value is based on the first active frame. Invulnerability

Lower than usual 6P meant for catching buttons more than jump-ins.

  • Upper body invul frames 1-20. Designed to beat other characters' farther f.Ss
  • Plus 2 on block, in case they didn't take the bait.
  • Both hits stagger on grounded CH for easier confirms
  • Gatlings from and to 2P for pressure cycles and repeated frame traps.

Typical style 6P for an infighter. The extensive upper body invul can be used to blow through projectiles. Eg. parry a meaty Charged Stun Edge and going into a 6P is a basic strategy against Ky.

6K
GGAC Jam 6K.png
Should normally hold 4 after a dash so you don't accidentally get this instead of 5K.

On-BlockAlso known as Frame AdvantageThe difference between the attacker's recovery and the period that the opponent is in blockstun. This value is based on the first active frame. Invulnerability

Fairly weak normal, but forces standing on hit.

  • Good for pressure after a blocked 5H.
  • Horribly unsafe, make sure you cancel into something else.
  • First hit has nonstandard hitstop which could make useful for an early cancel.
  • Forced standing might be useful to combo into TK Ryujin or something.

Additional Frame Data: Forces opponent into standing state on ground hit. 1st hit has hitstop 6F

Don't even read this. Just look at the hitbox.

  • One of the most oppressive normals in the game, both in neutral and in pressure.
  • Can and will sometimes hit behind Jam for some reason.
  • Throw invul until startup.
  • +3 on block. Doesn't lead to True blockstrings but it is good for frame traps.
  • Low crushes with strike invincibility up to Jam's back leg, has some sparse upper body invuln.
  • Inordinate amounts of extra hitstun, especially on Counter Hit.
  • Comes with the weakess of being in CH state for the entire move, but will usually blow back through standard poking attempts like mashing 2P.
    • Slow enough that the right answer is sometimes to Slashback it, which is obviously quite risky.

Additional Frame Data: Lower body invincible (except for back leg) and throw invincible 1~18F. Above knees invincible 24~31F. Lower body invincible (except for back leg) 32~33F. Forces opponent into standing state on ground hit. Ground bounces opponent on air hit (Untechable for 32F). Hitstun 23F. Untechable for 22F. Blockstun 18F. Can cancel into 6H > H froom 19~32F. Treated as CH-state until move ends.

  • -8 on Block, -7 on Hit, +5 on CH. Can be spaced to be made as much as as -1 on block and ±0 on hit.
  • Airborne on the active frames makes this a decent low crusher.

  • FRC leads to simpler and easier combo setups with a more lenient proration than most throws.
  • Throw itself deals no damage when FRC'd.

  • A big corner stone of Jam's game. If you don't have meter for 22D or want it to save it for something later, this is the way to go move after a knockdown.
  • Most characters will want to Play the Zoning and keep away game against Jam. If they are playing too passive against you, charging cards fullscreen will not only grant you cards, but also make them try to stop you, and Jam wants their opponents as close as possible.
  • Rule of thumb: if you don't have any charged cards already, you'll want to priotize Charged Ryuujin over Charged Kenroukaku, Charged Gekirin being the least important.

Additional Frame Data Jam gets a charge on 53F. Can store up to 3 charges for each special. K for Ryuujin, S for Gekirin, H for Kenroukaku

DISCLAIMER: Ryuujin, Gekirin and Kenroukaku all have different effects when done as part of an IAD, and all charged kicks can be comboed from their normal version, charged version and Force Break Hyappo Shinshou (236S>D), so whenever this guide mentions it, we assume you read this

Normal
  • Mostly overshadowed by the TK version of Ryuujin. Worse damage and frame data, although some combos, mostly max f.S > TK Ryuujin will fail where Ground Ryuujin succeeds.
  • Very Shitty Reversal, but you could technically get a CH punish out of it, and CH Ryuujin is pretty good

Additional Frame Data Strike invincible 1~4F. Low profile 7~8F. Jam is airborne from 9F onwards. Wallbounces opponent on hit (untechable for 36F)

Aerial
  • TK Ryuujin is a force to be reckoned with. A mainstay in Jam's combo game in conjuction of Powered Ryuujin
  • Using TK Ryuujin sparringly is a good way to maneuver around the field.
  • IAD Ryuujin stops Jam on her track, turning Aerial Ryuujin in a lingering hitbox meant to stop Anti Air and Air to Air attempts. This is horribly unsafe on whiff, but it's useful to keep in mind.

Additional Frame Data Floats opponent on normal hit (untechable for 36F). Has a minimum height requirement.

Powered Up
  • Powered Ryuujin is one of Jam's most important moves. Great damage and combo potential. Learn to love this move.

Additional Frame Data Initial prorate 80%. Strike invincible 1~9F. Jam is airborne from 1F onwards. Wallsticks opponent on hit (untechable for 70F, sticks for 35F). Consumes one charge stock on 1F.

  • Unlike Grounded Ryuujin, there is no reason to pass the benefits of TK Gekirin. Simply ignore this.

Additional Frame Data Jam is airborne from 4F onwards. Floats opponent on hit (untechable on ground hit for 28F). Startup to hit a crouching opponent is 21F (tested on Sol)

Aerial
  • TK Gekirin has two main differences over grounded Gekirin. It's 1f airborne and it Groundbounces on hit, making it the preferred combo starter.

IAD Gekirin will make Jam plummet down instead of making an arc. Depending on how you time it, you can get an ambigous Cross-up Additional Frame Data Groundbounces opponent on hit (untechable for 35F). Has a minimum height requirement

Powered Up
  • This Version is both a faster overhead and a better combo tool (with cards)

Additional Frame Data Jam is airborne from 1F onwards. Floats opponent on hit (untechable for 60F). Uses up a charge stock on 1F. Charged Gekirin canceled from point blank 2D has startup 18F to hit a crouching opponent (tested on Sol)

  • Jam's reversal and sometimes anti air.

Additional Frame Data Strike invincible 1~10F. Jam is airborne from 3F onwards. Floats opponent on hit (untechable for 22F). Hitstop 6F. Dizzy modifier x0.375.

Aerial
  • Not very good on it's own aside from combos. You are probably looking for the IAD version
  • IAD Kenroukaku, Just Like IAD Gekirin, sends Jam downwards instead of upwards. Although the invincibility period is small, it may just be enough to beat some weaker grounded anti airs

Additional Frame Data Strike invincible 2~3F. Floats opponent on hit (untechable for 22F). Hitstop 6F. Dizzy modifier x0.375. Has a minimum height requirement

  • LOOK AT THAT INVINCIBILITY! This move eats meaties and abares for breakfast. Makes VV proud.

  • Bakushuu has 6 different follow-ups, P (Avoid) , K (Low), S (Puffball), H (Dash Twice then Puffball/Cross-up Puffball), D (Puffball), and 236P (Flip).

  • Extends Jam's invincibility period after Bakushuu. Great against attacks with a lot of active frames like Justice's f.S, which are the biggest counter measure against Puffball.
  • If close to the opponent, Jam will pass through. Doing this after blockstrings is a gimmicky yet useful way to mix things up.

Additional Frame Data Strike invinicible 1~4F. Above feet invincible 2~15F, 21~26F. Can pass through opponent 2~14F.

  • The infamous Puffball.
  • This move is absolutely stupid. +1 on Block, Wall bounces on CH, has a stupid large hitbox, and Jam can mix it up with her other options out of Bakushuu. Opponents will pull their hair out trying to deal with this move.

Normal
  • Jam will dash twice when doing this move. If you are far away, this version will come out.
  • It has some added benefits when compared to normal Puffball:
    • It's +4 on block
    • It will always wallbounce, be it a normal hit or a Counter hit.
    • Has an FRC point at 21~24f, to do a throw on whiff and get better combos if done at the 24th frame to get a better conversion on hit.
  • This move is gimmicky as old hell and keen players will stop you on your tracks if you abuse it, so make sure you don't rely on it to close the gap too much.

Additional Frame Data Low profile 14~19F. Wallbounces opponent on hit (untechable for 40F). Dizzy modifier x1.375. Initial prorate 75%. Can pass through opponent 2~11F. If Jam passes through opponent, she performs Senri Shinshou (Crossup) instead.

Crossup
  • If Jam is close to the opponent, this version comes out.
  • It's generally a worse Puffball, except for one thing, the Dizzy Modifier is astonishingly high, and Jam's IK being one of the best in the game, any dizzy usually turns into a death scenario. Risky, but has its uses.

Additional Frame Data Low profile for 6F while Jam reverses direction. Wallbounces opponent on hit (untechable for 32F). Dizzy modifier x1.5. Initial prorate 75%. Startup varies depending on distance from opponent.

  • The Divekick.
  • Weirdly enough, this is safer on block than on hit. Make sure to RC it.
  • This stalls air time, so it beats cleanly some anti airs.
  • When TK'd, this is technically Jam's Fastest overhead that hits a crouching opponent. It's no Gekirin in terms of reward, but it's a good game ender.

Additional Frame Data Hitstop 5F. 1st hit has initial prorate 80%. Has a minimum height requirement. 2nd hit will only trigger if the 1st hit hits opponent (not block or whiff). Listed Frame Adv is for TK Houeikyaku performed as fast as possible (startup 14F)

Ground
  • You can do it on its own or After a Bakushuu, this being the only way to deal with sliding moves like Grand Viper, Robo-Ky's 2K, etc...
  • Normally, it travels diagonally up, with a bigger emphasis on verticality.
  • This can be changed however with its FRC point at 1~3f, sending Jam horinzotally. Intended for cross-ups. This can be considered the only way to Attack high from a Bakushuu.

Additional Frame Data Jam is airborne from 1F onwards. Feet invincible from 6F onwards. Can pass through opponent 1~17F. Jam is in CH state 1~5F. Auto Jump Installs. Can perform any action other than blocking or FD from 20F onwards

  • Aerial Flip gives a bigger emphasis on horizontal movement. Great for avoiding certain moves.
  • IAD Choujin sends her straight down. Just like IAD Gekirin and Kenroukaku, great for cross-ups (If you haven't noticed yet, Cross-ups are Jam's thing).
  • Has an FRC point at 1~3f, but it isn't really used.

Additional Frame Data Jam can pass through opponent and in CH state. from 1~18F. Cannot be used after a double jump. Can perform any action other than blocking or FD from 22F onwards.

  • Will not cost tension if Jam is hit before the superflash.
  • Works as a decent pressure reset and just to let Jam resume her blockstrings/mix.
