Cancels: Dodge, block, Jecht Rush

Jecht Rush is Jecht's only grounded offensive bravery attack. Charging up the attack by holding the button will change it's start-up, damage and priority (only at LV3). Different combos branch off of this move and carry none of the altered attributes from charging Jecht Rush.

It's a straightforward attack with multiple uses. The fast start-up and early cancel windows make it good for building assist meter on whiff and initiating offense without huge risk of whiff punishment. The wall carry and Ultimate Jecht Shot enders make the reward on hit potent and consistent in many stages.

If the level 3 version collides with an opponent's melee low / mid priority attack, they will stagger and Jecht can follow up with a combo branch on his own. Also, because Jecht Rush becomes active quickly after releasing the button, you can use it to reliably reflect HP projectiles even at a close distance.

Be careful not to overuse this move. The opponent might not be able to whiff punish Jecht Rush consistently, but they can still look to hit you after you cancel it with a block or dodge. Pay attention to your own habits to keep yourself safe and unpredictable.

Jecht Block (ground)

Startup frame Block frames End frames Priority EX Force Effects CP (Mastered)
1F 1-16F 80F Jecht Block -- Block 30 (15)

[Block] Stops blows with powerful backhand. Does not deal damage.

Jecht Block is a bravery attack that practically functions as a high priority block. The guarding activates on the first possible frame, meaning it is possible to dodge INTO attacks and nullify them during invincibility. That makes it very effective for defending after a dodge. Combined with the ability to cancel into any actionable state upon a successful block, Jecht Block becomes a very flexible tool with relatively high reward. It's the adhesive move that ties much of his gameplay together.

Jecht Block's interactions against properties are as follows:

Melee Low & Mid = Staggers the opponent Melee High = Both characters stagger Ranged Low, Mid & High = Reflect / deflect attack Special = Loses Unblockable = Loses

The block duration is 1-16 frames (at 60 FPS) according to Japanese wiki and the animation can be (dodge) cancelled much earlier compared to a regular block. This does not invalidate regular blocking as their durations and applicable timings differ greatly. Jecht Block can be performed out of a dodge or as an air recovery substitute, but has shorter block duration. Regular block lasts much longer, only works against low priority moves, can be cancelled INTO from Jecht Rush / Jecht Stream whiff. It is also not available out of air recovery.

As an attack with no built-in offensive properties, Jecht Block does not generate assist meter. However, it WILL reset the assist meter decay which is still a great help when fighting in the air. In addition, the attack state avoids the innate critical hit rate increase for the opponent that normal blocks incur. The extra ability "Counterattack" can be used to a similiar effect, although it can be accounted for with the appropriate "Disable __" extra ability.

Both ground and air versions are largely identical in properties and applications and thus are staple abilities in many match-ups. If you wish to Jecht Block more consistently against airborne opponents on the ground, equipping the ability on a neutral circle input is recommended.

Jecht Block (midair)

Startup frame Block frames End frames Priority EX Force Effects CP (Mastered)
1F 1-16F 74F Jecht Block -- Block 30 (15)

[Block] Stops blows with powerful backhand. Does not deal damage.

An essential defensive tool for completing Jecht's repertoire. Outside of shorter recovery frames, it shares all characteristics of the ground version. Because of air combat's frequency, you will naturally have many opportunities to use Jecht Block. A great asset for covering your air dodges, threatening fast air braveries, nullifying projectiles and interrupting your assist meter decay.
