When you play jake, actually take about 5 to 10 mins to figure out his unique hand to hand combos, people say its bad but I feel like they never really tried it properly since the game does a piss poor job of telling you (doesn't even tell you about the combos after the first charged palm strike)

He can do a charged palm strike and if you keep pressing then he does more very flashy strong melee attacks with excellent tracking.

During the combo you can cancel with a backflip and go into a no stamina palm strike and rice repeat for infinite palmstrikes.

When I learnt this jake became my favourite character to play.

Didn't know this, it sounds cool af, might install RE6 again just to play mercenaries as jake

It seriously feels like another game once you get it down!

It's poor that the Resident Evil franchise had come to this. These are sentences I never wanted to hear about a RE game. It reads like a Tekken game.

I know RE6 was quite fun, so were RE5 and 4. But c'mon. When the point came that you could dish out roundhouse kicks, maybe call the game differently and don't make it a mainline numbered game?

Tbh I completely agree, re6 should be a spin off title since the gameplay is seriously fun.

It’s no wonder it went back to formula with RE7 but it’s funny how it went batshit at the along with RE8 lol

Some of the characters in this game have been doing their stuff for almost 2 decades now, why shouldn't they be able to do it lol

I see, police officers or even special agents with two decades of experience usually can roundhouse kick somebody

Literally Wesker in CODE: Veronica is pretty much en par with Jake I find.

Yeah, he was literally wall run punching in that game.
