Basic Strategy

Kim Jae Hoon plays a bit similar to his father Kim Kaphwan in Real Bout Fatal Fury 2 in that he is mostly a close/mid range fighter and puts up an exceptional offense, and plays a fairly decent counter attack game.


Jae Hoon can greatly punish his opponents when they leave themselves undefended, or throw themselves awkwardly into an attack towards Jae Hoon, not to mention he has some exceptional mix up with his attacks.


His great array of normals help Jae feel comfortable in most situations. He has a great variety of pokes, many of which can convert into good damage with ease -- 2b, 2c, j.d and 5a are the most exceptional, with other great options ike 2a, j.b and 5b seeing occassional use.


In pressure, he has his variety of fast and plus on block light normals, along with his cl.c, cl.d and 2c which can be Feint Cancelled to gain significant advantage, making them essential for combos and pressure.


Jae Moon is greatly enabled in the corner, being able to tick throw more appropriately, getting more ambiguous left/right mixups after throw, and getting longer combos due to more link options -- he even gets an infinite! (cl.d 6ac microdash cl.d...)


However, Jae Moon's biggest weakness are his bad set of specials -- aside from 236d that's used to end combos and [2]8b/d which are his breakable DPs, his specials are all pretty bad. This in turn makes his meter gain quite slow, especially considering his tool of choice to farm meter, [2]8b-br, is still quite slow and risky. This meter issue is significant due to how much his kick super compliments his gameplan.


His execution fundamentally is straightforward, so Jae is easy to pick up, but he has a high skill ceiling with heavy feint cancel combos in the corner and using kara cancels to chain lights into supers -- even cr.a. While not necessary at first, these are very rewarding techniques to land to play the character to his fullest potential.


With enough practice, patience, and dedication, Jae Hoon can be a fairly strong and effective character against almost any opponent.
