Just remember ABPL: Always Be Playing Lachappa. No Jason worth their hockey mask can resist chasing after his luscious curves. Little do they realize that when they go after The Chappa, they get The Smacka.*



*Actual results may vary. Consult with your mortician before using Lachappa to clown on Jason.

If I roll LaChappa, all I do is harass Jason.

Or I run off into the woods with a weapon and somehow manage to be the final survivor.

If my hours of playing have revealed anything, its that I'm REALLY good at being the last one alive.

And then I die.

I helped in one of those games. I spent about 5 minutes straight running back and forth between the same 2 cabins and stunning him with a bat almost every time he walked around a corner or through a doorway until he got flustered. I think 3-4 people got away because of it.

So can Jason break down doors windows with LMB hits or does he need to use the prompt? That last patch I played on sucked.

I'm pretty sure they released another patch shortly after that one that fixed being able to smash them down with regular attacks.

Yeah the prompt thing was really only supposed to make those open small windows easier to hit but they messed up an unrelated fix to environmental damage in the process.

They fixed the mess up and it works pretty good now

I enjoy the new map except the fuse is in the same place about 90% of the time.

Also, was friendly fire a thing before this patch? Because people are beating the holy hell out of each other all of a sudden and I assume that's because they turned it off.

Weird that they went all in on the Beetlejuice reference but then didn't go with the Jason Goes to Hell Necronomicon. Unless I'm miss remembering the look of the book in Jason Goes to Hell. I could have sworn it was the one from Evil Dead but it's been a while.

Good to see you're using the best skin. You know, the more I play counselor the more I really look forward to the Hitman like single player they've been hinting at. I'm so glad that the dev team is really commited to the game.

I realized after last night that I didn't use LMB attacks nearly as often as I should have. We've developed a meta around the old thicc skin, 90% of my kills don't involve crippling anyone at all.

There's almost a body language to overconfident counselors who know they have a pocket knife so they think they can just hang around Jason safely. After a while you develop like a sixth sense for it, it's especially great when they have mics and you get to hear their shock and surprise as you swing away. Then as they're limping away and cursing you for being "cheap", that's when you grab them.

I love that, as if there's some honor code Jason is suppose to follow. The code is always whatever is best for the counselor.


My hot take on Jason IV:

The strongest early-game Jason. The combination of run speed, weapon damage, and destruction means you can put an immense amount of pressure on early game cabins to deny objectives and looting.

Later on his flaws become more noticeable, especially once rage is active then he is (arguably) worse than Jason III (As rage nullifies the destruction bonus which means Jason III is equal in strengths, plus grip strength and no loss to swim or shift speed.)

If you can keep the counselors on the backfoot and pick them off early, he may be the best for skilled Jason players as the chances of them getting an objective together are low. Defending the police phone may be a lower priority too, as you are much less capable at chasing a car or boat. Overall I think he's very strong and competes for top 3 Jasons depending on your playstyle.

The Evil Dead one is in JGTH. This is a copy of the book Necronomicon by HP Lovecraft.

Edit: on pocket knife horders... if I grab you once and you have a pocket knife I will grab you again. If you have TWO pocket knives, I'm going you slash you to death. This isn't a strategy, I'm just pissy like that.

This is why I act the same way whether I have a pocket knife or not. I always act as though I *don't* have one, because I'm one of those people that doesn't want to have to use it because then I won't have it anymore.

That and I just enjoy juking and not really trying for a stand-up fight. I'm not a super-pro juke-man but it's definitely my best skill. And making Jason waste 5 minutes to finally kill me, and thus giving everyone else tons of time to do stuff, is always good.

Unless I'm playing Chad. Then gently caress 'em.

In a recent game I lucked into two pocket knives, so just as Jason was about to inevitably grab me in the Jarvis party house, I dropped my spare knife on the floor in the hopes that the other guy in the house with me would get it.

And he did! Unfortunately, at some point he climbed out of the second story window, went into limping state, then went back in the house to find the knife which he then used shortly after. No health sprays either so it was a total waste, but at least the Jason who grabbed him was all like "how did you get a knife too, come on!".

I was pressed for time with regards to editing, but this happened to me last night. Had a scuffle with jason around the big houses, and somehow limped my broke rear end all the way down to the car with the battery. What happens next won't surprise you however.

I get such a feeling of relief when I find a pocket knife and honestly I shouldn't because if I ever have to actually use it my survival odds drop like a stone.

Most of my wins are knife-less or at least Ill have one that I never have to use.

So I like the Jarvis map a lot. Having 2 large, unique houses across from each other gives you a lot of possibilities, especially since they're 3 stories. The party house in particular, with the basement connected both inside and out, really gives you options for evading successfully.

The map itself just feels very different than the other three base maps. Part of that is the newness, yeah, but I think the layout is particularly interesting what with the islands with lobe cabins and the water surrounding the whole place.

Also the fact that the map can spawn with a boat and a 2-seater means way more opportunity to duck each other over!

I'm hoping the holiday map is the halfway home in part 5...but I'd settle for the cruise boat from part 8.
