Overview
Overview

Builds her strategy by relying on servants and tries to set the pace of the match with it.

 Jack-O  Jack-O is a Technical type who dominates the battle with an assembly of Servants.

Pros
Cons
  • Versatile: Jack-O' has a kit that can function as both a zoner and a close-range mixup character thanks to long pokes, an advancing sweep, and her minion setups.
  • Minions: Jack-O's summonable minions allow her to set up unconventional pressure and zoning scenarios depending on the situation and matchup. Jack-O' can either mount a minion offensive at close range by tossing a minion behind an opponent returning to neutral from knockdown, or set up a conga-line of minions at range to poke the opponent and approach.
  • Overdrives: Forever Elysion Driver and Cheer Servant On are both powerful ways to burn meter. The former is an invincible-on-startup command grab that can end combos, steal a turn, get knockdown anywhere onscreen, and can facilitate both long-range minion gameplay in neutral and close-range minion pressure when done close to the corner. The latter is a buff to her minions with two different forms: the S version grants minions invincibility, while the H version refills the servant gauge constantly, meaning Jack-O can command her minions much more frequently while the buff is active.
  • Strong Oki: Jack-O' gets strong pressure from most knockdowns due to her minions.
  • Meter-reliant: Summoning and giving orders to your servants requires servant gauge so a terrible management of these can leave you in a terrible spot.
  • Where are my specials?: All of Jack-O's specials aside from 236K involve the servants so without them you have to rely on your normals until you get in a situation where you can set them up safely.
  • Defense: Jack-O has no meterless invincible reversal and an average speed jab for escaping pressure.

GGST Jack-O ServantGauge.png

Jack-O summons Servants ("minions") to fight alongside her. The minions have numbers on their shields corresponding to their creation (1st is 1, 2nd is 2). She is able to hit them with her normal attacks and send them forward as projectiles. If one minion hits another from this, they too gain momentum and can become a projectile. She can send commands to her minions to make them either attack, shield her, or explode after 3 seconds. Jack-O can have up to three servants out at a single time, and they go away after being attacked by the enemy, after being hit twice by Jack-O herself or after a period of time.

  • 6H(1) launches summons up in a high arc.
  • 6H(2) launches summons in a long arc forward
  • 6H(1) launches opponents on hit, 6H(2) does not.

A two hit move, comparable in usage to I-no's own 6H. Jack-O' pulls the chain up for a close range strike, followed by a shot from between her legs that hits at an upward angle for a half screen attack. Deals high damage and launches if both hits connect, letting Jack-O set up a servant midscreen or continue a combo with 236K in the corner.

  • Requires servant gauge to be used.
  • If you hold P button for a while, then Jack-O' will continue to hold servant in her hands.
    • See Pick Up Servant section for more details about attack buttons in this state.
  • Summons go away after Jack-O' gets hit, after about 8 seconds, or after being hit by Jack-O' twice (note she can perform an attack command to get one last use out of the summon before it disappears).
  • Jack-O' retains access to Servant Shoot while holding a servant.

Setplay, zoning, poking, the sky is the limit.

  • Requires servant gauge to be used.
  • Has -6 frame advantage on whiff when canceled from 5H, 2H, 6H (2nd hit) and -8 frame advantage after 236K, 5S, 6H (1st hit).
  • When 214S is used for cancel into whiff it's a safer option because it moves farther and allows to avoid punish e.g from Sol's 5K after Jack-O's 2H.
  • Can be used while servant is being held.
  • Causes servants to put up a shield that blocks attacks.
  • Puts opponents who attack the shield's hurtbox into Guard Crush state. They cannot be regular throw but they can be thrown with Forever Elysion Driver.
    • Guard Crush state trigger depends on the distance between the opponent and the shield.

Useful as a way to prevent opponents from hitting and killing servants.

Countdown

214H (Air OK)

Damage GuardHow this attack can be blocked. StartupThe number of frames between inputting an attack and when the attack becomes active. Includes first active frame. ActiveThe number of frames for which a move has hitboxes. Occurs after Startup.

  • Requires servant gauge to be used.
  • Has -6 frame advantage on whiff when canceled from 5H, 2H, 6H (2nd hit) and -8 frame advantage after 236K, 5S, 6H (1st hit).
  • Can be used while servant is being held.
    • Picking up and throwing servants retains the timer.
  • Causes all servants on screen to explode after three seconds.
    • Explosion can hit Jack-O as well as the opponent.
    • Explosion causes the opponent to fall off the wall allowing for resets and combo extensions.
    • Explosion causes 30 frames of blockstun.

Another extremely useful summon option, even if it doesn't look that way on the surface. 214K cannot be input during moves like Throw, but timing a throw so the explosion hits while the opponent is in the air lets Jack-O continue a combo meterlessly.

Servant Shoot

236K (Air OK)

Overdrives

Forever Elysion Driver

  • Jumpable after the super flash unless the opponent is using Faultless Defense.
  • Will still hit opponents wall stuck at ground level, given they are in range.
  • Hitting an opponent in the corner causes a Wall Break and leaves Jack-O' +36 afterwards.

Jack-O's reversal super. Also quite useful when an opponent is Guard Crushed by Defend Command. Even though it's a throw, it can be used as a combo ender (e.g. with c.S > 2H/2D).

Cheer Servant On

236236S or 236236H

  • Both versions temporarily pauses Servants despawn timer and allows Jack-O to hit them infinitely
  • S version temporarily gives Servants infinite Guard Point, preventing them from disappearing when hit.
    • Also prevents Servants from disappearing when Jack-O is hit, but Servants cannot be be given new commands at that time.
  • H version temporarily makes the Servant gauge recover very quickly.
    • Servants are still just as vulnerable as before.

Both versions can be active at the same time.
