What? Strider is a perfectly capable character without x-factor. There’s some misconception going around that you need x-factor to do well with him, you don’t at all. He barely has faults, and his biggest is his low damage which is circumvented by doing optimized combos and the fact that he gets a reset after his Hypers. Like with everything in this game, people are just extremely lazy and refuse to use his tools, whether it is his dash cancel overheads which give him Full screen overheads lower then jump height (which NO one uses) or his Raw tags (which NO one uses). It’s a lack of people understanding his tools, and a lack of people knowing what to do with him.
This is wrong. He ToD’s in Xfactor. This once again goes with people not understanding his tools.
Vajra gives her extensions and extensive space control; it’s the best assist for Jill. Not only that, but it creates the best Jill mixups you can possibly create. On hit, you get ridiculous okizeme for an unscaled combo or you can easily hitconfirm with somersault. jill has a very hard time protecting assist calls, but Vajra being off screen allows her to apply pressure safely. It is the one assist that turns Bad Jill matchups good. Jam Session doesn’t do that, and Missles don’t do that either.
The difference between Vajra and other assists is that Vajra actually brings them DOWN to the ground. The other assists re-instate air action and are counter-productive.
But, leading with the ONE-TYPE assists ONLY, Jill will play effectively with assists that allow her to get in.
No, switching to an assist which brings them BACK to where she’s strongest isn’t taking power for her while allowing you to use your other assist for whatever it may be.
Projectile assists will not necessarily help you combat zoning. They put another hitbox on the screen sure, but dedicated zoning projectiles> Assist Projectiles. The chances of that Assist getting passed zoning is minimal as well. With Strider, he comes in and leaves the screen extremely fast and comes back tracking your opponent. /quote]
Then the matchup is still bad and proving my point. Your just switching to a different character who has a different MU.
Of course I respect your opinion (we’re Jill Family 
), but there’s many misconceptions going around that I thought I would address.
. I was actually also thinking of using Jill/Vergil/Strider. I think I will stick with Jill/Dante/Strider though. If I need to I will go with Vergil. What ever boost it takes to win even more consistently with her I will do.
