My Life as a Teenage Robot


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.
