Character Trivia

Jack-8 is G Corp's premier humanoid weapon and the latest prototype in the Jack series. One of the developers assigned to the Jack series, Jane, once had her life saved by a Jack. She joined G Corp and worked day and night to create her ideal Jack machine. While the Jack series was already well established within G Corp's product line, Jane continued to devote herself to perfecting the Jack. Her designs for the next-generation Jack included a vastly improved AI to that of the Jack-7 model, capable of learning with incredible speed and accuracy. ?

    Sticky Note

    very very difficult combo, all inputs must be very very quick, otherwise you wont get the pick up on the 2nd b32, and even then, you can get a bad wall splat and get screwed that way, almost feels like rng, but i've gotten the combo down to about a 1/4 on the first wall splat.

    Saw a combo that was made around a year ago that was.... optimized poorly and not well done, figured i'd do my take on it.

    An alternative version of this combo, uses after heat burst, dash > f121 W! but is less consistent and requires a dash otherwise the wall splat will be to low to pick up.
