JACK-O' - Pick Up Servant Whiff Proof of Concept - Guilty Gear -STRIVE- [Patch 1.09]
First of all sorry if this is old tech but here is a fun and NOT universally useful "tech" for Jack-O'. This might be a feature or a bug, but here we go.
Jack-O' can whiff her Pick Up Servant move if the servant is too far to pick after initiating the move.
Basically you immediately attempt to pick it up after hitting it with a cancellable move. If you are at the correct distance you can move as soon as she raises her arms up, effectively cancelling the a move with no costs to frames or servant/tension gauges.
The servants bounce back in different ways depending on what move Jack-O' uses to hit the servant and if the servant hits or is blocked, making it difficult for the user to predict the outcome at close range - If the servant bounces back to soon you end up actually picking it up.
Use this to recover faster from slower moves, when you lack resources or to surprise an unsuspecting foe with moves done in a weird order.
If this is unintended have fun while it lasts!
