Story

Jimmy is the older brother of Billy who accompanied him on their many adventures in the streets. However, both brothers soon grew tired of the physical abuse and moved to Sunshine City with their uncle. There, both brothers were introduced to Master Lee Song, who taught them the Ryu Zui Ken techniques. Jimmy was taught the ways of the "Red Dragon" to prepare him for the trials he would have to face. Unlike his younger brother, Jimmy has always been involved with the local gangs. A powerful gang, whom Jimmy refused to join, killed his lover, Marian. Enraged, he and Billy defeated every member of the gang in vengeance. However, once he hears that his brother was involved with her death, he broke off all ties with Billy by leaving Lee Song's dojo and Sunshine City.

Jimmy continues his life as a famous street fighter, both for the money and the thrill. He got the scar across his face after he was badly injured by an unknown fighter. Due to his training with the Red Dragon spirit, Jimmy eventually returns to Sunshine City as he felt the resonance of an evil dragon. He reluctantly enters the tournament with Sonia, who followed him to his old home. In both of his endings, he visits Marian's grave and refuses anyone's help. He is confident that he can defeat the "Black Dragon" by himself.

Introduction

Jimmy is a neutral heavy character, who relies in good reads and his Light DP to anti-air opponents. Jimmy has great close B button that cancel into super or DP, Far A and C are his best pokes. Most of Jimmy strength is in confirming his Close C or Crouch C to get a super confirm. Also having a good projectile that can combo into super makes Jimmy a somewhat lackluster without strong combos besides confirming into his super or First Impact combo. Most of his normals and specials are unsafe on block, so you need to press your buttons carefully. Jimmy can mixup his opponent with his overhead (6A) or his Cannon kick (214B or 214D) for crossup when close to the opponent.

Movelist

Command Moves

6A - Elbow Strike

Overhead. Can only be special and super canceled. Cannot link into normals.

3A - Power Punch

Special Moves

Red Rage - 236A/C.

Light fireball moves slower than the heavy version. Good fireball but not the best.

Sho Ryu Da - 623A/C.

Light Sho Ryu Da hits once and has a bigger hitbox than the heavy version. The heavy version hits 3 times and has a more vertical hitbox.

Heat Hurricane - 63214A/C

Light version causes knockdown and blows them back to the wall on hit. It's difficult to link into this so it's not used much.

Heavy version can be mixed up with a low/mid/high. To get a high mix, hold 8. To get a low mix, hold 2. To hit mid, remain in neutral (5). It's also difficult to combo into this one like the light version.

Cannon Kick - 214 B/D.

Both versions are overheads. Light version hits once, heavy version hits 3 times, has a bigger arc and causes a knockdown.

Super Moves

(n)Gun Blow - 2141236 A/C.
Charges with a burning fist then uppercuts the opponent to the air in flames. C version has fire geyser finish after the uppercut. Great for combos. B version has almost full screen distance, while C version travels full screen.

Super Tag

A note about his unique duplex when partnered with Sonia: Jimmy can juggle any character with Gun Blow after they're launched by the flame pillar. You can combo into a First Impact on Oni, Elias, Jones, Kang, Sonia, Jimmy and Abubo.
