Playstyle: Stance-Based Mix-up
Jamie is a unique character whose strength increases as he consumes his 'Drink' special move, gaining new attacks and enhancing existing ones. He's a mix-up heavy character with tricky movement.
Key Moves:
- Swagger Step (Quarter-Circle Forward + Punch): His primary projectile, which can be followed up.
- Bakkai (Quarter-Circle Back + Kick): A fast, forward-moving kick.
- Luminous Dive Kick (Forward, Down, Down-Forward + Kick in air): A tricky dive kick for offense.
- Drink (Down, Down + Kick): Consumes a drink to increase his 'Drink Level' (up to 4), enhancing his moves.
Strategy:
Jamie's game plan revolves around building up his Drink Level. The higher his level, the more powerful and versatile he becomes. Use his fast normals and Bakkai to get in and apply pressure. His Luminous Dive Kick is excellent for mix-ups. Once at higher Drink Levels, his combos become much more damaging and his pressure more relentless. Managing his Drink Level is crucial for success.
