The proper way to play Jake

[Mr.Softy]

Jake is the Bruce Lee of the game, so use Melee, Combat Gauge and Defense as skill settings and fight through the whole game hand-to-hand combat. It's so much fun! ;)

Here's a video where some guy is showing off some of the tricks: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s18A1VcB-ZI (but with the skill settings for Melee and Combat Gauge you have 10 stamina bars and 50% more melee damage!)

Maybe some of you guys don't know how to play Jake, since the game is vague about everything, so here's a little crash course for Jake:

1. the fists "weapon" doesn't cost stamina to use. That's all the attacks you can do while "aiming" with your fists.

2. the quickshot with the fists (yes, they have that too!) is a rush to the nearest enemy and an uppercut, or a jumping stomp (when the nearest enemy is down).

3. if you aim with your fists and hold down the attack button you can see Jake "charging" his stamina (Yes, that's right, you can charge your stamina again!). From that charging stance you can see that Jake sometimes locks on to an enemy.

4.If you release the attack button he's gonna dash for the targeted enemy, you can evade bullets by zig-zagging with your movement keys.

5. When you continue to press the attack button after the dash Jake's gonna perform a 5 attack combo, targeting the 5 closest enemies around him. You should just try it yourself in mercenaries mode, to see how it works.

So far I did not play Jake at all .. but thanks I guess. Appears to be a good melee guide.

Huh. I didn't know about the bullet-dodging, the jumping stomp, or that you can do a combo during the dash attack.

Yeah, I tested all this a little bit after I found this video, and now I'm falconpunching Whoppers and Napads to death.

That's pretty damn awesome. Thanks for the heads up.
