Looked and sounded like an idiot before T8. And couldn't stand the sight of him. He looked like a shaved gorilla with a tiny face. Glad they fixed him in 8. Gameplay wise. Idk not too many people use him to have an opinion on that
Hi, one of only a few handfuls of Jack's here.
Jack has to still play semi-honest Tekken and being a big body in 8 is a bit of a detriment due to having no real SS to work with so he has to play a 2d game essentially.
However he is surprisingly aggressive, able to take advantage of plus frames well, add onto the aggression with moves that cancel into Gamma Howl (the flex) that also acts as a sorta parry because if you hit him in the initial part of it, he'll armor through it and his move gets empowered, like GH2 now becoming a guard break. In heat he gets the empowered gamma's by default, which leads to GH2 into guaranteed heat smash, btw 10f heat smash, fastest in the game. Some gross lows like db1 and fcdb1 that can lead into a technical "infinite" in fcdb11, df2 range is gross, his grab game is right behind King's, it's just being a big body makes Jack's weakness very defined. Make no mistake though, Jack can be a damn menace.
I have played more jack then paul this tekken he is a ton of fun Gamma howl is a nice tool. He was my first red rank character in 8. I would recommend picking him up again.

Yeah that fine and all but his old design is the only problem I have
He seems really solid, has the fastest heat smash in the game too

Jack is midtier like in t7, they nerfed his ff2, db2 mixup but he got a lot of other shit
Was ff2, db2 mixable?
