==Command Moves==
j.6C - Air throw. Great air to air option.<br>
6A - Short, but quick overhead. Confirms into supers and specials.<br>
3B - Double low kicks. Great for combo extensions.<br>
==Special Moves==
'''Retro Knuckle'''<br>
:214A - Jones does a lunging punch. Think of Yun from Street Fighter. Get to know this move. This move is Jones' strongest move since it is -4 on block and can only be punished before the move hits or by a standing command grab.<br>
:214C - Just like the light version but it has slower to start up, hits twice, and is much more unsafe on block. Very hard to compete with the light version.<br>
'''Gaudy Punch'''<br>
:mash A/C - Jones does a flurry of punches. The uses for this move is quite limited since there is no follow-up like Pupa's.<br>
'''Funky Impact'''<br>
:236A - Jones does a charged-up palm strike. Blows the opponent back to the wall on hit.
:236C - Just like the light version but this version has a tic of High/Mid armor. On block, this move instantly breaks the opponent's guard with no advantage.<br>
'''Arc Fliegen'''<br>
:214B - Jones jumps and does a spinning wheel kick. This version stays straight up in the air until Jones lands. Terrible anti-air, best used to end combos with.<br>
:214D - Like the light version except Jones launches forward instead of directly up. Somehow does less damage in combos.<br>
==Super Moves==
'''Groove Master'''<br>
:214-214B/D - First hit is a low kick then jones kicks you into the air. Depending on the button strength you'll do more damage and the angle of the air kick changes. Jones' afro is a hitbox, beware of the active afro!<br>
'''Duplex Attack'''<br>
:236BC >> 236BC - Your partner must be alive or must be able to be tagged in. Follow-up again with another 236BC for an extra meter for more damage.

Easy to count out because Jones's strings from heavies are so strong, but it has great range for a low, it chains into itself and it confirms into both 214A and super.

Let this rip early into your jump and you're set for life. Jones's bicycle kick has nice priority, and the gaps between its active hitboxes are miniscule while it loops forever. Jones has excellent normals in general, but this is one of his best tools to approach.

Jones spikes the opponent into the ground, which is bad for hitting the wall, but it leaves him in the perfect spot to jump in. Great if the opponent expects to block jump D.

Follow up with another 236BC for more damage. Costs an extra bar. Jones's Funky Impact at the end causes a wall splat, which can break a wall. However, he is way too far away to combo.

If you've ever played Terry Bogard in anything, you know how to use this move. Get to know this move. This move is Jones's strongest move since it is -4 on block and can only be punished by an instant command grab, which he often isn't in range for because he can pressure from such a safe distance. It's also easy to backdash out if the move puts you in a bad spot, then you can jump back in to continue.

Just like the light version but it has slower to start up, hits twice, and is much more unsafe on block. Very hard to compete with the light version, even if it moves a little further.

First hit is a low, then Jones kicks into the air at an upward angle. This is Jones's only reversal, but both versions are poor. Like most supers, they're there to end combos, but when it comes to wall hits, this version is redundant compared to what you can get meterless. Its damage is very low for a super, but at least the knockback on the final hit is huge.

Angled diagonally, this not only deals heaps more damage but also carries the opponent half the stage away. If Jones does this in neutral, wait until he lands to punish or you'll get hit by his afro.
