Janemba In Versus And Online Matches
Janembastarts off as a giant character, immune to grabs and Rush Supers while alsohaving an extra health bar.Overall, this isthe lesser version of the character, since giants are all clunky to use, andthe combo potential is rather lacking, not to mentionhow easy it is to miss his Ultimate attack.
If you and your opponent are both standing on the ground, you’ll miss the grab nearly every time.
However, this extra health barshouldn’t be ignored, although youcan’t take that extra healthwith you when you transform. It makes sense to pick the giant version of Janemba in most modes,using it until you lose your first health bar, and then transforming into Super Janemba.
This makes Janemba shine when used in DP Battle in particular sincehe costs only five DPand can later transform into a seven DP character. While using the giant, your focus should be onignoring most of his Supersand only use Rapid Cannon, since it has quite the decent tracking.
You can also Howl to instantly enter Sparking Mode, but that will also lower your defenses for 15 seconds.
Rush Ultimate that does two bars of damage.
Super Janemba In Versus And Online Matches
Super Janemba is ahighly competitive characterwith the stats and moves set to challenge nearly every other character in the game. The one thing that sets him back from other big contenders ishis (comparably) low health pool, something you can work around by starting the match in his giant form.
Mystic Breath makes the charactera great choice for beginnerssince it isa cheap defensive toolthat you may use to answer Rush Supers. Some of those moves can be blocked, while nearly all of them can be dodged, but if you’re still getting used to the timings, having an extra tool can’t hurt.
Dimension Shift works just like Goku’s Instant Transmission, a move you want to use sparingly to maximize its effect. It tends to be ideal to get the drop on your opponent while they are firing a large Beam Super.
His two regular Supers might seem similar, but they each havea distinct role.Evil Cannon is yourregular Beam attack, the old reliable that you can use in most situations, while Lightning Shower Rain isa series of projectilesthat have decent tracking; good forharassing your opponent, but they don’t have the longest range, souse Evil Cannon when they are too far away.
Finally, Dimension Sword Attack is your go-toto close out the game, but it is an ability that can be easily blocked. Against opponents that block too often, try to have themlower than defense with your charged Ki blast, since it fires anunblockable sword slash if you are standing still.
