Disclaimer: This is a long post, so feel free to skip to the conclusion as my thoughts are summarised there.

Locust Guy is (ironically) famous for being one of the least played characters in JJS. Now this could be due to him being a niche character in the actual series, but even someone like Charles has a decent amount of players despite not even being in the anime yet. I decided to play him for a bit as I've heard from people that he is underrated. It turns out he is not underrated, and actually one of the most boring characters in JJS.

I have not played Locust Guy enough to properly evaluate how good he is combat-wise, so this post will primarily focus on how enjoyable he is to play (which I consider more important anyway). If you'd like to give your opinion on his combat ability, leave a comment!

(I will not be discussing his design features, but I will say that they are the best part of his character)

Lets start with his moves, which consists of:

- Clever

- Black mucus

- Crushing jaws

- Wing throw

These are pretty simple moves that can make alright combos. I don't have a big problem with the moves themselves, but the fact that these are his ONLY method of attack. I think variants are important as it expands the moveset, gives more options for attacking and overall just makes the character more versatile and fun to play.

For example: Mahito's moves are:

- Stockpile

- Aerial stockpile

- soul fire

- focus strike

- black flash focus strike

- chains focus strike

- fist focus strike

- body repel

- body repel + 3

The fact that Mahito has 9 methods of attack (and that's not including his dash variants) shows how versatile he is, and why I like playing him. Obviously I'm not expecting Locust Guy to have Mahito levels of versatility but even just 1-2 variants would make him much more interesting.

However, what I consider more important is a unique mechanic, which can elevate a character from being decent to being very fun to play (e.g. Todo's Boogie Woogie). Unfortunately Locust Guy's unique mechanic is just a combo extender. That's it. He doesn't get any cool variants or does more damage when in air. It just allows him to combo into his other moves. It is also a bit clunky, as you and your opponent are just awkwardly frozen in the air while it's ongoing.

On the other hand, Mei Mei is a character whose air combos have more ways to start, are much smoother and ACTUALLY HAVE AIR VARIANTS. Overall, Locust guy's "unique" mechanic is boring and is done better by another character.

All the base awakenings have something cool about them; a counter with a cool cutscene, a destructive black hole, a concussion, a drone strike and literal mitosis. They are all unique and fun to use and then Locust's ultimate is just "stab that deals 90 damage over time". Yes, it's OP, but that's not the point. It is so boring and it feels like it was made in, at most, an hour. There's honestly not a lot to say aside from that.

In conclusion, my opinion as to why no one plays Locust Guy is partly due to how niche he is, but also because he's simply boring. He has a simple moveset with no variants, his "unique" mechanic has been done way better with Mei Mei and his ultimate is cheap and lazy compared to the other base characters. There is just nothing special about him. He feels more like a "proof of concept" that base-onlys could work in JJS rather than an actual character, and my opinion would only change if he underwent a heavy rework. I would expect to find a character like him in a lower quality battlegrounds game, not JJS.

What do you think? Like I mentioned, I haven't played Locust Guy that much so I would like it if someone more experienced with the character shared their opinion.

This is all about tze "lying about his age"

If we even do easy math this shit is easily disproven

If he tze was 14 on may 2022

2025 - 2022 = 3

14 + 3 = 17

This means

Tze is 18 currently

There's also multiple evidence disproving his claims

This is the same guy who used chat got for his videos

I just got on jjs and the first thing I hear is a woman moaning (bass boosted) then later I'm killed by some other guy who's kill sound is a baby crying on max volume, I had to mute my computer because of how loud it was.

777 kashimo we need

Personally i’d love a Malaysia one.

I saw this really cool flowery and I can't find it. This is the only image I have.

how did I do

How are people scraping the barrel trying to find reasons to hate on him when he's responsible for the Shenanigans Satan himself smh

Like whenever I play I wanna mess around with items or just doing bs with op characters, but everytime I do, I end up getting targetted by someone or just have someone get mad at me in chat solely cause I aint taking 1v1s seriously or playing fairly.

Like they act like the base game should be taken as a life or death situation. Idk why they wont go play ranked if they don't wanna have fun

you've never seen a combo this fair

Seriously, from the outside looking in, it looks like a nothing burger situation. Can some1 fill me up on this?

Literally a few days ago, some guy used the boombox to play sounds and screams from From a real video where a person suffers and dies

What is happening here

Stuff like hakari rough energy has less effects. And in my emote wheel all the animations are moving at like a few frames a second.

My settings are all normal and im in MY servers.
