Jackson has officially joined the EC roster! A bounty hunter with a love for one on one shadows, Jackson’s playstyle revolves around unmatched ranged pressure and brutal hard reads.
The Gun
As fans of Super Smash Brothers Melee, we had to bring the most iconic (and most divisive) platform fighter projectile to Electoral Carnage. Like it’s SSBM incarnation, it locks down the opponent allowing Jackson to get close and punish with his oppressive normals.
If You Move, You’re Dead
Inspired by classic cowboy showdowns, Jackson’s unique ability, DRAW!, has him enter a stance. If the opponent presses ANYTHING while he’s locked in, they’ll instantly be stunned. This fullscreen button check completely changes how is to be played.
PREDICTABLE!
If you’re really confident, you can use EX DRAW!, which upgrades your stun to a hit! This move works the same as regular draw, but it requires Jackson to guess what button his opponent is going to press.
Satisfaction Guaranteed
Jackson’s first super is a new take on “One Hit KO.” Instead of dealing damage, he sets his opponents health to one, and sets his own health to two. Setting up a final showdown where he has the advantage, but anyone can win!
Hickory’s Wrath
Jackson takes to the skies and attempts to finish off his opponent in a single shot. This super normally does 3 damage, but if you land a perfect shot, it’ll crit and instantly win you the match!
What’s next?
DLC #3, William Henry Harrison, is in the works. But we might need a bit longer than usual to get him out (like 4-5 weeks), as I anticipate we’ll need to commission sound effects for his…unusual attacks.
Also it’s likely (but not guaranteed) that we’re going to be adding palette swaps (aka skins) to the game with WHH, so get hyped for that. Sorry there are no new supers like I promised last time, we ended up testing them and they weren’t fun so we didn’t add them.
Thanks for all the support recently, with the release of Trump we’re actually not doing all that bad financially. We still need all the help we can get, but we have our heads above water for the next month or so which is a really great feeling.
That’s all for now. Enjoy Jackson, and God Bless America.
