Jenny Wakeman (XJ-9) is the main protagonist of My Life as a Teenage Robot. Designed as a 16-year-old teenager and equipped with numerous weapons and tools, she tries her best to juggle between fighting crime and living life as a normal teenager. It's been... quite difficult for her, as she's had to deal with all sorts of villains, mainly ones that are aligned with the Cluster.
Gameplay Tips
Jenny's Neutral Special projectile swaps between fire and ice every use, but this is just a visual change.
Jenny's Neutral Special can be charged up. The charged projectile, while slower, deals more damage!
Jenny's Neutral EX has faster startup than Neutral Special, and it can go through opponents.
You can jump and turn around during Jenny's Side Special. That makes it perfect for mobility!
Jenny's Side EX can stun opponents, but is slower than Side Special.
While on the ground, you can turn around once during the first 40 frames of Jenny's Down Special.
In the air, Jenny's Down Special can hit anyone that's around her.
Jenny's Down EX, while functionally identical to Down Special, is much faster than it.
Jenny has a ZAir that, while unable to grab onto ledges, is her only ranged aerial attack.
