Introduction
Jagi is a tricky trap/zoning based character with a wide array of gimmicks and tools, running the gambit from one of the best supers in the game to practically unusable. Using gas puddles, oil barrels, and even rocks, Jagi restrict the opponents movement while pestering them with shotgun blasts and needles in order to get close and force damage. Unfortunately none of these tools are that effective, and his poor normals heavily affect his neutral game and make getting in or defending a heavy struggle.
Despite being hands down the weakest character in Hokuto no Ken, Jagi still remains quite popular - there are probably more Jagi users than there are Mamiya, Mr. Heart, and Thouther users. And why not? Aside from Jagi being awesome in general, nothing makes you looks cooler than beating a Toki user with him! However, the would-be Jagi user must overcome many hurdles to start to be able to win against the stronger characters, and many are not up to the task. A quick look at the matchup chart will give you an idea of just how bad poor Jagi has it.
Overall, Jagi is a character that requires superior player skills or extreme luck to have any chance at all against top tiers, and for the most part should be considered a character best used when you want to challenge yourself, embarrass your opponent, or just have a good time. That being said, let's cao this section off by listing Jagi's main strengths and weaknesses.
