Jones Johnny Damon, or just Jones, is a martial arts actor who is obsessed with retro martial arts films and disco. With both of his passions, he formed his fighting style "Kung-Funky". Jones made a name for himself as a vigilante by night and movie actor by day. However, his acting career took a major hit when his most recent film bombed in the box office.
Hearing this news, Jae-Mo Kang approaches Jones to make another film. This time, the film will be about the "ultimate challenge" which is facing The Black Dragon. In their ending, they defeat Johann and create a hit film called "The Rising Dragon". Jones wins an award for being the best actor in a martial arts film.


Jones is a very easy beginner-friendly character who is also strong at a high level. He excels in offensive play using hops, but still has defensive/neutral options with his normals.

Pros Cons
  • Strong Rushdown: Key note: his hop j.D is immensely strong and difficult to deal with and his Light Retro Knuckle is only punishable by command grabs. Both these moves complement his rushdown
  • Neutral God: Jones has 2C which is a god tier anti-air in neutral. All of his buttons are long and don't linger all too much which makes him excellent in neutral.
  • Poor Close Range Defensive Options: If an opponent rushes Jones down, he has no reliable options to deal with someone above his head. Since he's so tall, walking under jump attacks are also difficult to do.
  • Predictable Mix-Ups: Jones has two overheads: J.D and 6A. Both can be predicted and aren't instant. His one low option is 2B which can only quickly link into 214A.
