===Summary===

Jackal is a well equipped rushdown VA who has exceptional air mobility among VAs with the jump-type boost. His Dizzy Boomerang offers him a relatively safe jump-in option, a move to special cancel into from air moves during pressure, and a cross-up tool when used midscreen. As with all insectroid-legged models, Jackal Stamp allows him to close distance quickly and be in the place where he is most dangerous. Heat Grapple and Whip Sting both cover a range which is slightly further than most VAs' normals so it may be rewarding to stay about 1 character width away from your opponent as Jackal.

Pros:
*Long range moves
*Fast
*Low crouch hitbox

Cons:
*Heavy normals are slow
*Can't reliably knock down
*Needs to be grounded to beat attacks coming from above
