| Freeflow Strikes (or "Rekkas") are forward-moving strikes that can be confirmed into optional follow-ups. Higher strength versions move farther but have slower startup, with the {{clr|OD|OD}} version gaining both speed and longer range. At Drink Lv.0 to Lv.3, each Rekka is a single hit, and only the first part of the sequence can cancel into Super. If well-spaced, the first meterless Freeflow Strike is often safe; the {{clr|L|LP}} version is usually the best for this since it has less forward movement, but this can also cause it to whiff in max range cancels. The {{clr|OD|OD}} version is always safe. | | Freeflow Strikes (or "Rekkas") are forward-moving strikes that can be confirmed into optional follow-ups.

| When attempting to confirm into the 6P or 6K follow-ups on hit, it's important to note that the follow-up speed depends on the strength of the first Rekka. Delaying the confirm too long, especially on {{clr|H|HP Rekka}}, can cause the follow-up to come out without comboing. The 6K follow-up is slightly slower than 6P, which also makes the confirm slightly stricter. {{clr|OD|OD Rekka}} canceled into {{clr|SA|SA2}} is a great option on hit or block, leading to great combos or block pressure from a mid-range poke. | | When attempting to confirm into the 6P or 6K follow-ups on hit, it's important to note that the follow-up speed depends on the strength of the first Rekka.

| At max Drink Level, Freeflow Strikes becomes a 2-hit attack, gaining additional damage and making it much easier to confirm follow-ups or Super. It also becomes safe on block for all versions, giving Jamie a great confirmable pressure tool from mid-range. In some juggle routes, it becomes harder to combo into the 6K follow-ups due to the extra pushback, so the 6P follow-ups are recommended for more consistency. | | At max Drink Level, Freeflow Strikes becomes a 2-hit attack, gaining additional damage and making it much easier to confirm follow-ups or {{clr|SA|Super}}.

| The Punch follow-ups are the preferred route for damage, juggles, and oki; they can be performed on hit, block, or whiff. The {{clr|L|LP}}, {{clr|M|MP}}, and {{clr|OD|OD}} Rekka starters require a manual delay to create a blockstring gap, while {{clr|H|HP Rekka}} can automatically frame trap with a 3f gap at the fastest timing. While risky, this frame trap can be used against an opponent that tries to punish your first Rekka on block. On hit, stopping after the first 6P puts Jamie at a slight disadvantage; an unaware opponent may be caught off guard with a quick throw reset, but attempting this is sacrificing guaranteed damage and a knockdown. | | The Punch follow-ups are the preferred route for damage, juggles, and oki; they can be performed on hit, block, or whiff.

| The final 6P follow-up completes the Punch sequence. It can be done on hit, block, or whiff and has juggle potential. This sequence gets no oki midscreen if the opponent back rises, but it has good corner carry and is Jamie's most consistent combo ender. Like the first 6P follow-up, there is a blockstring gap between the final 2 hits that varies based on the button timing, but this is a very unsafe gimmick for beating the opponent's attempted Rekka punish. | | The final 6P follow-up completes the Punch sequence.
