This is a long-range, very chunky mid, guaranteeing a blue spark uppercut on hit. On block this isn't very minus and has large pushback, keeping the situation in Jack's control. This is steppable to the left and poor on whiff, so varied timing using movement is essential.

A fast high, mid string. The second hit being an elbow and a mid makes it a great follow-up to keep the pressure on. The string also has a launch extension with 2, 1, 2 making it very effective once your opponent has been conditioned.

Jack's infamous d/b+1 is almost unseeable at i15 and has quite a bit of pushback in order to keep your opponent guessing. It has been buffed in 4.0.2 for more damage, making it one of his best poking tools. d/b+1 has the follow-up machine blast strings, however, they are easier to see and slightly more predictable.

Another infamous low, at the same speed but with more pushback and plus frames, the Machinegun Knuckle is a great way to keep your opponent guessing. It can be used after d/b+1 (not after d/f+4 - d/b+1), where Jack can make use of his WS moveset.

The quintessential mid poke for any Jack main, d/f+4 is a fast, safe i12 mid kick which leaves you with ''a lot'' of advantage. The pushback at all ranges places your opponent close enough to attempt d/b+1 or f+2.
