    A lot of people have been asking this question. Even at EVO, I've noticed a lot of people don't JG like I do. I don't see why not- the technique is easy to do. And once you know how, you'll probably be better than me!

    The important thing to know is that JG is activated upon release of the guard button.
    The JG window is 6 frames (that's relatively big!)
    That means that hitting a JG is not like hitting an aPatroklos JF- it's just timing. That's all it is!

    Once you know how to do it, the only thing stopping you is having the courage to actually do it, to let go of guard with the possibility of getting hit. Free your mind from the shackles of the self, and achieve true nirvana!

    Or something!

    Good luck out there!

    My brother JG's one out of every seven attacks offline. I JG one out of twelve. Online is a whole different story though, since I have a crappy connection.

    Yes, I actually count them.

    Remember, it's not a competition. If you're JG-happy (like being parry happy in 3rd Strike) you can get blown up pretty quickly.

    The important thing is that you're able to JG when you want to.

    That's the hardest thing for me. Seeing the brave edge but not wanting to possibly get hit

    The more you go for it the less likely you are to get hit. Don't pass up the opportunities.

    Thanks for the video. I haven't had much luck with JG, but I guess I haven't really been doing it right, lol. I'll have to try it in training later.

    It was crazy seeing raph's BE get completely just guarded like that. And scary. XD

    JG is easy, you just have to know the moves your opponents do. Pyrrha's 66B BE, Asta's 66K BE, Viola's CE~UB(Really hard) and other common moves that can be timed. Basically, the moves that do more than one hit(Sorry is this is redundant).

    So, to clarify, you can't just be holding guard and release it when you want to JG - you've got to tap it.

    Honestly people. Practice JG Lows and UBs. JG normal moves after that is a piece of cake.

    When you JG a low, do you have to already be crouched or can you just hit 2G?

    Just hit 2G. Make sure to hold 2 so you stay crouching during the JG window.

    Ha! Thank you!
    When I heard "You have to hit guard for minimal frames" and started treating it like a slide input, it worked every time! :D
    Deeeemystified, thank you!
