Drive Rush

When cancelling a normal into Drive Rush on block and following it up with another normal, there may be an interruptible gap in the blockstring. The following table lists these blockstring gaps when performed at the fastest possible timing.

Gap Value	Meaning
0	True Blockstring (no gap) if input with fastest button timing; can still lose to Drive Reversal
1 to 4	Small blockstring gap; opponent can interrupt with an invincible reversal; a 4f gap can trade with 4f normal attack
5+	Large blockstring gap; opponent can interrupt without an invincible attack

Anti-Airs

Jamie has a variety of options for Anti-Airs, with differing ease of use, reliability, and reward.

623LK/MK/HK

General purpose anti-air, while also functioning as Jamie's anti-crossup option when crosscut. The main downside to this option is that it has limited vertical and horizontal range compared to many traditonal DPs, leading to it sometimes whiffing vs neutral or spaced jumps and if done too early.

623LK is the fastest of the three, making it the easiest to use, while also rewarding Jamie with the stronger than average okizeme.

2HP

Easiest and fairly reliable with low reward. As this normal is only special cancellable in it's early active frames it often cannot be cancelled when used as an AA, and even when it is Jamie's specials and Drive Rush options don't lend themselves to allowing any pressure afterwards. Additionally, Jamie is often only slightly plus afterwards which makes the oki afterwards non-threatening.

2KK

Less reliable than other grounded options, as Jamie is standing during the animation and it's not particularly disjoint. However, the reward is sizeable as Jamie can jump cancel into a combo resulting in good damage, oki, or drinks. Best used at Drink Lv.1+ when j.214LK/MK/HK is available.

Air-to-Air j.MP / j.HK

Solid, if harder to use, options with fair reward that are somewhat situational.

j.MP is the faster and more disjoint of the two, however it can only be combo'd into j.214LK/MK/HK which is only available on a forward jump and only in Drink Lv.1+, making it useful for catching neutral jumps but less everything else.

j.HK is slower and less disjoint and only can be combo'd on counterhit, making it less rewarding to catch empty jumps. Both of these air normals knockdown on normal hit, which does result in decent oki even when you can't combo them, as long as you aren't jumping away from the opponent.

Anti-Projectile

Jamie has fairly limited options for dealing with projectiles outside of universal options. So it is recommended to practice Parrying and Perfect Parrying cancelled into Drive Rush, and spaced jumps against projectiles. A few of Jamie's character specific options are below.

j.214LK/MK/HK/KK (Drink Lv.1+)

While not invul divekick can function as an anti-projectile option from certain ranges and is realistically the main option Jamie has outside of universal answers. Requires careful spacing to be safe on block outside of the OD version.

236LK/MK/HK/KK (Drink Lv.2+)

All versions have projectile invul, however none are frame 1 and all lack range making this move an anti-projectile option in name only.

236236P

Jamie's Lv.3 super can function as an anti-projectile option from footsies range, however the range and slow speed make this a diffcult and costly option that is exteremely punishing if done too late.
