Jecht Video Thread

Since there is none of these within the Jecht section, thought I'd share.

Nice job blocking innonence haha.

[Sona7a]

Good initiative. I'll try and post videos aswell, but i want real PvP videos squaring of with a decent player, since whipping the AI isn't all that hard (Bar feral chaos... UGH).

[Phaze08]

I have a few, most are pvp, check my youtube channel. They're a little old, I have some VERY good ones I need to upload. :D

Few decent replays from Phoenix. The other two we both have up are pretty bad. I might have lost against Draec, but the matches were good, so I'll repost here when RDF gets them up. Not sure how Clavier did in his matches, but I encourage people to look out for that, too.

We're both eliminated, now - so no more Jecht in the current tournament.

[Phaze08]

These are real nice. I have a couple real crazy matches I'm going to try and upload later. :D

[LuckySeven]

@Veysey you just love those father-son combos huh? Great matches. Although I hated the camera Angles in the first match.
I didn't think randomly throwing HP moves was a good idea for jecht tbh but you seem to make it work

[Veysey]

There are three reasons I threw out some HPs:
- When there isn't assist meter, Beam and TG are pretty safe
- I noticed he wasn't punishing those HPs with assist anyway (Yeah, bad play, but it worked)
- Tourney nerves + Zidane was like "Oh crap what do I do?!?" (lots of stupid charges and naked HPs)

I was using Tidus because I was in the assist challenge although Tidus is a good assist vs Zidane and a few others because of how effective he is in punishing moves (too bad I messed up EVERY time I tried XD). It's not the best plays I've had but it IS official play. Nervous or not, I suppose it shows how I play when the chips are on the table. I'd expect Clavier was probably feeling somewhat similar but can't say for sure.

[Reikou]

Veysey, love the Jecht. I knew I picked him as a main for a reason!

Someone had asked me how to deal with a SF happy Sephiroth once. I told them paitence and timing will win you the match. Below is an example. I can't say it's perfect play, but it got the job done.

[Phaze08]

Nice, Nice. Close match, you really stuck it to him. One thing I see that I need to start doing is more charges. I'm somewhat of a fast Jecht, rushing in to hit you at the smallest opening with my pretty quick attack lol. Takes advantage of lag really well but I hardly ever wait out a dodge then release...need to work on that lol.

[Reikou]

Yea, holding the charge to punish works wonders. Especially on Scintilla happy Sephs.

You do realize that if Jecht times his Stream right, Heavens Light will never hit? If Jecht uses it right, he can avoid getting HP'd with Stream without charging at all (he'll stagger, though while Sephiroth continues with the attack - but it won't hit him). Full charge staggers both if I recall correctly. To be honest, Sephiroth needs neither of those attacks. He just needs his brv game. SF for pressure and his melees to punish any attempts at attacking him. I kid you not, Jecht shouldn't be able to touch Sephiroth if Seph is strictly reacting to what Jecht does in the air (outside of enclosed spaces/corners).

Now; Hyne ran an event last weekend and here are some replays. At first I wasn't going to because some of the matches were requested not to be put up but I think there is some important footage as well as some lessons to be learned. I forgot my first two losses (against Nero) as I was super tired during the event but remembered to grab everything else. If Nero wants to post those (humiliatingly bad) matches; I'd actually appreciate it since I'd like to have the whole set/all my matches from Saturday.

Your experimental build really hurt your assist game lol. One of my biggest gripes in the scene is that players aren't managing assists well...not even close.

First off, Jecht's HP are not safe with the possible exception of Ground Beam, and that's entirely dependent on the opponent's assist choice. If you're using them while the opponent has meter, it better hit or you're open to EASY assist punishment. If you're looking for meter gain yourself, you've got several better options. Second, having assist on hand when playing as or against Jecht controls the pace of the match. Either player can call an assist when a clash is coming for a free combo. Keeping an assist also shuts down some of the opponent's options, thereby strengthening your defensive game. Third, if you can't make the punish in time, have your assist do it.

Now that I've covered the general assist stuff I'll get into the match specifics. For Tifa's Rolling Blaze feint, you want to react when you see her release it. Your spacing vs. Terra was lacking. I know it's an easy matchup, but this is pretty standard stuff when fighting any mage so I'll just say it. You want to stay at a comfortable distance where you're not running past her or into attacks and you can punish on reaction. Basically, wait for her to make the first move.

I get the feeling that you're more comfortable with defensive play, but you're missing out on a lot of opportunities. Stream can still punish without fully charging. It's easy to get manhandled by someone who's capable of reacting to it, and you can condition them with varying charges. This becomes mandatory when both players have more experience. How you returned dodge into the opponent's face after he whiffed and charged Stream was beautiful. It's the perfect positioning for mixup options and maximizes any charge's range. Another thing, don't be afraid to attack twice out of its cooldown or double block if you catch onto a opponent's habits. Be aware of your options and the patterns of your opponent so you can take advantage of them. A purely offensive or defensive Jecht isn't utilizing all the tools at his disposal and that makes him about as threatening as a guppy.

Can someone tell me how to post videos? I've tried a few times, but it just makes a link to the video instead of the dedicated player. Isnt it with the embed code? Its been a while but I think thats what I used but it didnt work lol

[Mericus]

I recently posted quite a few videos using Veysey's old EX/Machine build ( I'm really quite fond of it ) to the 012 replays section. It worked against some very good players as well and I figured I'd add some good examples of EX build footage to the
"Jecht Video Thread".
