20% less jank!
WOO!
YEAH BABY!
WE’RE BACK!

I last worked on this back in August of 2020… when I had first uploaded it and I promptly dropped the project right after. So you may be asking "Why come back and update this mod with only minimal quality of life changes after so long?" and the answer is that I had a random urge to "Tidy up" the whole "held together with duct tape" feel that this character had. Along with some balancing this felt like a needed coat of figurative paint.

One thing I would like to do (and I know everyone else wants) is to redo all the sprites and actually do it properly this time. However one thing has not changed between now and the original release, I’m still not an artist :p. If I can find the time and courage to learn the art of placing pixels it will be on the to do list but at least for now I just want the character to play well.

Anyways here’s the move list,

Special attacks:

•Down Special cycles between 4 weapons that your Neutral Special uses!

•Neutral Special fires whichever gun you have selected. You can tell which gun you have selected by the color of the
ammo above your HUD.
Yellow- Long range blaster with 20 bullets; good for sniping or just shooting to shoot.

Blue- Fast firing machine gun with 40 bullets; you can hold down the special button to keep shooting but watch your
ammo!
Red- Close range shotgun with 10 bullets; has big knock back to secure kills!

Purple- The BFG of Jak 2 and 3; comes with 5 bullets and stuns enemies in place for a time, allowing you to follow-up
with almost anything!

•Side Special has Jak hop on his Hover Board to traverse the stage.
You can jump during it and if you hit the attack button while in midair you’ll do a flip that has decent knock back.
To get off the board, simply hit down or the parry button.

•Up Special transforms Jak into light Jak, wings and all!
Tap jump to flap your wings up to 2 times after the initial flap, but don’t mash or else you won’t get any extra flaps!
(just like in Jak 3 :D)

Tilt attacks:

•Jab is Jak’s classic spin, but it has barely any knock back.
Tap special while you have the Yellow gun equipped to cancel into Triple shot, remember to watch your ammo!

•Forward tilt gives the enemy a SMACK on the head with the barrel of your gun (the gun will change with whichever is equipped but the hitbox stays the same)
Tap special during the move while you have the Yellow gun to cancel into Triple shot just like with Jab!

•Down tilt is a quick roll forward.

•Up tilt is a straight uppercut that leaves you in the air after to combo into air attacks.
The very tip of Jak’s fist has a sweetspot with high knock back.

•Dash attack is Jak’s classic sliding punch. It has a sweetspot at the tip of the fist with high knockback!
Hit Jump during the move to cancel into Up tilt!

Air attacks:

•Neutral air is Jak’s spin again but this one is a multihit thats really good for combos.

•Back air is a tail swipe from Daxter, it’s very fast!

•Forward air is a big headbutt from Daxter, it’s also very fast!

•Up air is a double kick upward from Daxter, good for juggling and K.O.’s off the top!

•Down air has Jak take a plunge straight down that can also spike!
When you hit the ground you are put directly into a Jump.
Hold Jump as you hit an opponent to Spring off of them to recover or maybe even follow up with another move!

Strong attacks:

Jak’s Strong attacks all have him transform into Dark Jak for some classic early 2000’s beat down.

•Up Smash has a blast of lightning shoot up before Jak jumps up and unleashes a big orb of electricity.

•Down Smash has Jak smack the ground around him. Perform it close to an opponent to combo into the big hitbox.

•Forward Smash is a series of slashes forward but if you space just right you can land the very last hitbox with massive K.O. potential.
