Strengths

Weaknesses

Great Rushdown: Jades pressure consists of kara jabs, annoying auto combo staggers and difficult to anti air jump kicks. Great Jabs: Female Ninjas and Male Ninjas have a similar LP range, but the Female Ninja LP has a lower hitbox. Female Ninjas also have better throws than Male Ninjas. Good Zoning: Jade can zone effectively with the return Boomerang. Great Anti-Zoning: Glow grants Jade projectile invincibility. However, Glow does not work against all projectiles. Special projectiles like Sindel's air Fireball and Shang's Ground Eruption will still hit Jade during Glow. Female Ninja Hurtbox: Female Ninjas can be difficult to juggle optimally. Some auto combos can whiff after jump punch starters against Female Ninjas.

No LK, HK, Sweep Punish: Jade's Shadow Kick is fast enough to punish blocked LKs, HKs and Sweeps, but unfortunately the game disables it in this instance. Weak Combo Damage: Jade has low midscreen combo damage. She relies on chip damage on her long auto combos to make up for it. Weak Anti Airs: Jade lacks powerful anti airs. She relies on spacing and movement to counter jumping attacks.
