Unfortunately,I haven’t been able to play in a couple days due to time constraints; but when I went on my YT account to listen to a song, I realized I had a new message in my inbox.
To my surprise, I got the nicest letter ever:
Hello SexualRice,
My name is Dan, and I’m a frequent umvc3 player and Jill enthusiast. The reason I’m writing this to you was for two reasons:
First reason: Wow. Just, wow. Your Jill gameplay is the BEST I have ever seen. Once I started watching your videos, I became hooked. But before I go on any further, I just wanted to say how much of a fan I am of your gameplay videos, and I thank you so much for uploading your footage. I have learned a LOT just by watching you play, and I hope to continue learning more as time goes on.
Second reason: The team I generally tend to run consists of Jill/Frank/Wesker, but I can’t seem to get it to work at all. I do know ‘some’ Jill combos instead of the standard bread and butter, but my problems are usually trying to land them in the first place. I really REALLY wanna improve my gameplay and hope to do Jill service just like you do.
Anyway, I just wanna say ‘kudos!’ to you for such great use of this character (as well as your Frank and Strider gameplay!). Keep on winning Sexualrice! You have a big fan in me. =)
Dan
The PM made me realize something. We have an extremely small community here, about ~8 people who contribute information regulary, but even with that small community we are still all determined, intelligent, and know our stuff. I just want everyone to know that you’re determination IS appreciated!
This PM made me feel so good about my J/F/S team! Just thought I would share the kindness to others.
I take my team to a local scrub gathering every couple weeks to mop the floor. Every victory basically ends with me being indirectly labeled as fraudulent.
I win because I spam broken Somersault and no one knows how to fight secret top-tier Jill. I am scraping by on match-up inexperience that takes no skill to exploit and I would get my ass kicked by WindZero because he’s good and uses three point characters as a team.
Seriously, give me just a little credit. Stop giving that guy any credit, too, while they’re at it.
Its just amazing what you hear people say when they see windzeros jill talking about how she is unbeatable and I just think to myself “thats not even her real potential”. Not to say windzero is bad because he is much better than me, but the combos and gameplay posted here show alot more who what Jill can do.
All the footage I’ve seen of WindZero playing has thoroughly convinced me that he’s really bad: Three point characters with no synergy dropping combos constantly. I think my favorite moment was when he spent like four bars to MGS over and over praying for a chip-out or something. Jill died after using all of her meter to MGS four or five times in a row.
It’s a wonder he does as well as he does, but people will just assume you’re good when you’re in that position, I guess.
Yeah, I mean if wind zero is the only exposure you had it would be easy to think he was the best jill around. Ironically I don’t really recall any footage of him winning
You’re free to choose any character you like, but why?
Jill/IM/Doom is a great Jill team that allows for Silly damage. Seriously, her BNB with that team does 975K starting with 1 bar and has room for creativity while still catering to whatever Jill needs.
Hell, you could run Jill:Arrow Kick/IM:UniBeam/Doom:Missles, Jill:Arrow Kick/IM:Repulsor/Doom:Plasma, or even Jill:Arrow/IM: Repulsor/Uni/Doom:Rocks or Plasma and each has a unique characteristic to it while still being good.
i just hate how much of a disadvantage she is vs a majority of the cast … its really annoying and discouraging -___- … when you go to big tournaments and then lose to people who just go nutz … its the worst feeling in the world
Eh, I never found her to be at that much of an disadvantage, you just have to play her differently then you would other characters. Jill’s also the anti-nut character, just make them respect somersault and your good to go.
I get what your saying though, why use her when you can easily screw around with Vergil and still do well?
Dark Jill from Windzero just goes nuts, and no one apparently knows how to deal with it. Not sure why. His zero does a ton of work though. Jill is just there to… I don’t know why. I feel he’d be better off w/ Dark X-23 going nuts. At least he’d have dirtnap that would do about 80% damge at xf3.
On a side note, yeah I feel ya Alukard. Getting mopped up by scrubs that use whatever the top tier flavor of the month is just disheartening. It’s like… REALLY? You would do that?
I’m thinking of running Arrow kick / Repulsor / Spitfire, if nothing for IM’s TAC Infinite. It’s so easy to do, the only thing is, I don’t know if I would know what to do with myself if Jill had that much meter. But for now, J / RR / S 4 lyfe!
Projectiles and camps got you down? Perfect time to XFC her MGS into a killer combo. Don’t worry, I’ll have the combo thread updated tomorrow with a perfect starter to get past it. Better still, you can get a beautiful Happy Birthday with that, making the X-Factor all that much more worth it, which will likely build enough bar to DHC and guarantee both kills.
When you get to apply crazy block pressure with lockdown assists and feral dash mixups just over and over and over again, it gets a lot of fun. I’ve never seen a character react so well to pushblocks. It also never gets old hearing people bitch about Somersault and mixup ambiguity. Jill is a blast, she just takes a little time.
You’re not gonna believe me, but I found some advanced Jill tech in the game options. It will probably only work against someone once and it takes a bit of practice and desensitization, but it should guarantee you at least one match if used in moderation.
Go to the options and change Jill’s character voice to Japanese. Spam Somersault. Your opponent will be too busy laughing to beat you. Make sure you’ve heard her attempt to yell somersault in Japanese enough times to where it will not happen to you. Enjoy your free match.
Oh, C’mon, Brian, Jill has not so many counterpicks… I mean, she’s in some trouble with flying chars, but even in this situation you may prepare a great mixup with Somersault/ assists when they get down. Wesker says: Please, try harder! Acctualy, I think she is, solo, better than Magneto, Nova, Haggar, Doom and others. She is the most underrated char.
