Introduction
Jago PLACEHOLDER CHARACTER STORY
Jago Jago is the main Shoto character of KI, featuring a fireball, dragon punch, and tatsu equivalent. These tools allow him to play a classic midrange fireball/dp game, but Jago also comes equipped with a few extras not usually seen in your typical SF shoto. Chargeable fireballs that you can dash cancel while charging, a very long range overhead, a throw with potent oki attached, and abundant plus frames all give Jago an offensive toolkit characteristic of KI. Topping it all off is his Instinct, which changes his standard fireball into a double fireball, increases his frame advantage even further, and most importantly rewards fireballs on hit with healing, making Jago the only character in the game where three instincts in one game is not uncommon. Whether you plan to win by a war of attrition in the neutral game or you just want to get in that ass and run offense, Jago rewards players who dedicate themselves to the way of the warrior with an exceptionally fun take on a classic FG character archetype.

Scroll down and look at the damage H DP does on CH. That alone would put Jago in the upper echelon of defensive kits in KI, but of course he has more. His DP being 3f and huge lets him punish moves usually considered relatively safe, wind kick is a frame 1 low crush, and shadow wind kick has a ridiculous amount of projectile invul.
With most of his lights, close MK, and M/H laser sword being plus, Jago would already have all that he'd need to be somewhat threatening up close. The real star of the show is fHK, which advances forward and is +2. Being probably the number one shadow counter check in the game, fHK can be a potent pressure reset if the opponent doesn't have meter. Even if they do they have to prove they can SC it on reaction or else you can keep them perpetually locked in frame disadvantage.
