About

The robot who just wants to live a normal teenage life.

Built as Robotic Global Response Unit XJ-9, Jennifer "Jenny" Wakeman wishes to have the life of a normal teenage girl, in spite of being a robot armed to the teeth with weaponry. This often results in conflicts of interests in between saving Earth from a formidable rogues' gallery of villains, to just wanting to do normal high school girl things.

Playstyle

Jenny is a fairly standard zoner who excels in playing keepaway. She has excellent projectiles in her Neutral and Side Specials, and can keep the opponent at bay with her notorious Back Air and her "big move"s, in her own words. She's not lacking on the offense, either: she has some nasty juggles and tech chases with her Up Air and Dash Attack.

If you like maintaining control of the stage and keeping your opponent out, Jenny is for you!

Metagame

Jenny is ranked 12th out of 29 on the current tier list, in the A tier. This is a marginal drop over her 10th out of 25 placement in the first Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl.

Jenny is an all-rounder character with a lot of great tools for any situation. She has a strong projectile game in her Missile and her Side Special, respectable stats, hard-hitting strongs, a great recovery, and an insane edgeguarding tool in Back Air. All of these make Jenny a very solid character that's equipped to handle most matchups fairly easily.

However, Jenny does have a few flaws. While she has some kill confirms, getting to that point either requires hard reads or getting in. Jenny has a tough time dealing with characters who get in her face too often. Her recovery also does have a limit, which means she can be countered if she's offstage for too long.

Overall though, Jenny is seen as a great character in the metagame, having a solid matchup spread and very strong tournament results. She remains a popular character at all levels of play.

Home Stage	Tremorton Joyride
Weight	0.90
Fall Speed	1
Gravity	1.08
Run Speed	1.15
Air Speed	1.05

Strengths

Weaknesses

Back Air: HUGE move that basically edgeguards for you and sends at a low angle. Among the deadliest edgeguarding tools in the game and a major threat for most characters in this matchup.
Projectile Wall: Jenny is a zoner, and boy is she good at it! Her missile Neutral Special can keep the opponent out or target them for combo followups, and her hammer Side Special is a massive hitbox and sends a huge shockwave towards the opponent.
Recovery: Jenny has one of the best recoveries in the game. Her Up Special can go in any direction and lasts for a while. Up Air Light also allows her to glide in the air to stall and mix up her recovery even further.
Difficult to kill: Due to her projectile wall and recovery, taking out Jenny can be a slow process. The opponent has to play very patient around her options or risk getting blown up.
Strongs hit HARD: Her strongs have slow startup, but when they hit, they will more often than not spell death for the opponent.
Speedy: Jenny has pretty good runspeed and airspeed, so she can run away very easily against a lot of characters slower than her.

Takes a while to kill: Jenny takes just as long to kill as she is to kill. She doesn't have a ton of genuine kill confirms due to most of her strongest moves having long startup, and the ones she does have are DI-dependent, which means she often will have to rely on guesswork or edgeguarding to take the stock.
Has a tough time keeping rushdowns out once they're in: If a character with strong combo routes reaches Jenny, she can have a tough time getting out, taking a lot of damage along the way.
Popular: Jenny is a fairly common character in the playerbase. While this isn't inherently a weakness on it's own, it might mean that more seasoned players will know the Jenny MU well and punish you hard for making common mistakes.
