8		Low	4	Command, Special
Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard
4	3	5	+3	+2
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.

16		Mid	8	Command, Special

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.

Command Normals

6A

Damage		Guard	Stun	Cancel
14		High	4	Special
Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard
23	2	21	-12	-13
Short but quick overhead. Confirms into supers and specials. Mainly used to mixup with 3B.

3B

Damage		Guard	Stun	Cancel
18 (8+10)		Low	12 (6+6)	Special
Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard
13	7+(2)+7	21	-9	-15
Double low kicks. Great for combo extensions, and couples with jump D to help him close the gap. Jones stops moving after the first kick.

Throws

4/6C

Damage		Guard	Stun	Cancel
20		-	0	-
Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard
1	1	-	KD	-
Jones spikes the opponent three quarters of the screen away.

j.6C

Damage		Guard	Stun	Cancel
20		-	0	-
Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard
1	1	-	KD	-
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.

Not much to say except his Air Impact's last hit whiffs on Alice and you won't get your juggle.

Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard

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.

Special Moves

Retro Knuckle

214A/C

Damage		Guard	Stun	Cancel
20		Mid/Air	10	-
Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard
10	4+4	13	KD	-4
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.
Damage		Guard	Stun	Cancel
23 (5+18)		Mid/Air	10 (5+5)	-
Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard
21	6+10	19	KD	-12
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.

Gaudy Punch

A/C×4

Damage		Guard	Stun	Cancel
3×n		Mid	1×n	-
Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard
6	[2+(2)]×n	(2)+16	-8/-5	-11
A flurry of punches. The application for this is quite limited since there is no followup like Pupa's mash, which is already useless enough.
Damage		Guard	Stun	Cancel
3×n		Mid	2×n	-
Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard
18	[2+(2)]×n	(2)+16	-8/-5	-11
Even less useful because of the longer startup, but at least it adds a bit more stun.

Arc Fliegen

214B/D

Damage		Guard	Stun	Cancel
23 (8+15)		Mid/Air	10 (5+5)	-
Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard
9	3+3+3+3	29	KD	-15
A spinning wheel kick. This version stays straight up in the air until Jones lands. Terrible anti-air. Best used to end combos with.
Damage		Guard	Stun	Cancel
18 (8+10)		Mid/Air	7 (5+2)	-
Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard
12	4+4+4+4	25	KD	-16~-12
Jones launches forward instead of directly up. Somehow deals less damage.

Funky Impact

236A/C

236C

Damage		Guard	Stun	Cancel
20		Mid	10	-
Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard
11	8	29	KD	-20
A palm strike. Blows the opponent back to the wall on hit.
Damage		Guard	Stun	Cancel
20		Mid	15	-
Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard
31 (5-26 guard)	8	29	KD	-6 (Guard Crush)
Just like the light version but this version has a high/mid guard point. On block, this move causes an instant guard crush, but Jones gets no advantage.

Super Moves

Groove Master

214214B/D

214214B

214214D

Damage		Guard	Stun	Cancel
31 (5+7×4)		Low, Mid	0	-
Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard
5 (1-7 invuln)	4+(8)+25	32	KD	-31
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.
Damage		Guard	Stun	Cancel
65 (5+10×5+20)		Low, Mid	0	-
Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard
5 (1-7 invuln)	4+(6)+25	36	KD	-37
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.
