How to find Shadow Jago?

For the most part I agree but Shadow Jago does have some vulnerabilities that make him eventually beatable. Especially his seeming reluctance to counter attacking against normal in a corner. I've had a little success opening him up that way and then scoring
fast 15 - 20% damage combos. My main frustrations is his constant counter-breakers. I feel like I can't stop any of his combos and like I'm constantly bleeding out. Erg!

i beat him after 10 tries with Sadira, only wanted that stage unlocked lol

Well, I finally got to Shadow Jago with Thunder, and he is ridiculous! Eyedol is a teddy bear compared with Shago! I've managed to get him into the red 5 times, and once took him down to one quarter of his red energy bar, but the other 42 times I've fought
him, he's totally mashed me with virtually no reply. lol I think he is probably the hardest boss I've fought in a fighting game. The difficulty spike is just insane. For that level of difficulty, non-shago owners should unlock him should they win. The reward
is definitely not worth it. It's not quite as bad a "reward" as getting a ridiculous costume for Mileena after beating challenge 300 in MK9, but it's not far off! He is too difficult.

Well, I finally defeated the annoying pest Shadow Jago on my 140th attempt! I still think he is way too cheap even for a boss, but if I can beat him in a straight-up contest, then most people should be able to, as I'm not a great player by any means! lol
xD

Dunno who in their right mind decided the shadow jago fight reward was anywhere near enough. I tried solid for over an hour to beat him and I've just had it. I fought eyedol an won all those years ago but this boyo is no where near fair. Think I can live
without that stage. Think I'll give KI a rest for a while and play summit else like mario that's enjoyable lmao.

Just a heads up. The things you need to reach Shadow Jago are...

1. Medium or Higher Difficulty

2. Two Supreme Victories

3. Ultra 1 Person Before Your Rival

4. Ultra Your Rival

Got this from Max's latest stream. He received a message from someone at DH.

I beat Shadow Jago with the spam low kick trick. Before that I tried 67 times to no avail

@tCruzin4lyfe Did they mention deaths?

Watched the stream. Indeed, you need not die as well. And the guy at DH was Thrillhouse. Solid source.

@Shuoink: I just watched your video, and it is disappointing if he is impossible to beat unless you do crouching low kick constantly until the time runs out. Bosses should be very tough to beat, and cheesy as hell, but you should still be able to beat them
by actually fighting them. Has anyone managed to beat Shadow Jago by fighting him? All the videos I've seen of people beating him are using the exactly same crouching low kick on repeat method as you did. Cheap AI is one thing, but that is ridiculous! lol
Lazy programming on the part of DH there, for sure. Boss fights should be titanic, epic tests of skill.

Looks like MKII Shao Kahn on hard is a walk in the park compared with old Shago!

I love me some old school Megaman, and have completed all those games.

Most Megaman bosses were made easier if you had the corresponding weapon for that specific boss, but some of them were extremely hard if you didn't have the right weapon going into
the boss fight. Somehow it doesn't seem as if fighting Shadow Jago will be half as much fun as taking on classic Megaman bosses! lol

No doubt. I've come close but haven't beaten him yet. And I also think that the difficulty spike is insane. But original KI and the same thing and I'm a purist. If the original had a boss fight that made me want to kill myself, then the reboot should too.
Even as recently as Dead or Alive 4, Injustice and MK9 there have been challenges or bosses that were near impossible and it's kind of a tradition. I would have preferred a more reasonable boss fight though.
