Gameplay

Jam lacks weapons, and has no projectile moves, so all of her attacks place her right near the opponent. She is very versatile, as she can be played as a combo character or a powerhouse, and also has a relatively good amount of high and low attacks. Her "Asanagi no Kokyuu" (Breath of Asanagi) move charges up three of her special moves, making them extremely powerful, and her "Futsuono" (aka "Hochifu") attack is similar in application to Street Fighter III's parry system. One of the most notorious moves in her skill set is the ability to charge forward at an incredible speed and create a ball of energy around her fist, slamming it into the enemy. This move varies with whichever button is pushed to execute it, sometimes causing Jam to end up behind the opponent, stop short, or flip between the opponents front and back.

Story

Background

Jam is a master chef, and longs to create her own restaurant, but lacks the means to do so. She seems to have terrible luck in this endeavor even once she gets it off the ground. She's a fairly docile character, and also relatively unimportant during the beginning arches of the storyline. However, during XX, Jam's ability to wield Ki becomes a very notable aspect, so her role in the story may, in fact, grow more important.

Guilty Gear X: By Your Side

Jam is wandering about, allegedly having heard rumors about mystical ingredients to be found at "The Devil's Living Place," where Dizzy resides. When she runs into Testament, she claims to be looking for "ingredients," which he mistakes for "atonement" (because the two words are homophones in Japanese). After her battle with Testament, she goes on to fight Dizzy, who thinks that she's trying to eat her (or simply kill her). In one ending, Jam is able to get the ingredients she sought for, which were allegedly unknown to mankind. In the other, the field is burned down during the battle. In both, she defeats Dizzy, and probably leaves on friendly terms. According to information given in Guilty Gear XX, she later claims the bounty for Dizzy's defeat and uses the money to start her restaurant.

Guilty Gear XX: The Midnight Carnival

Jam's restaurant, which is now up and running, is burned down by a mysterious figure who dresses very similar to Ky Kiske. She engages the said arsonist at the scene, and then the story branches out. In one path, she accuses several people of being the arsonist, and then finds another the false Ky Kiske, who is revealed to be a robotic version known as Robo-Ky; two endings come from this. In one, someone is revealed to be watching her, and concludes that she would be a viable candidate for the next "simulation" (possibly a Robo-Jam in the works). The other has the Robo-Ky call in reinforcements (in the form of MORE Robo-Ky's) which Jam fights a few of, until Ky Kiske appears to intervene. Jam wards off a brainwashed May while Ky disposes of the aforementioned Robo-Ky's. Jam then offers to share a picnic with the Holy Knight, arguing that food is the cure for a bad mood, after the whole arson issue is cleared.

Jam's other path has her meet I-No, who gives her a false list of bounties, including Venom, Johnny, and Millia Rage. After fighting I-No again and finding out that the bounties are false, she tries to make it up to the aforementioned victims by cooking for them. Venom and Millia Rage, unable to sit anywhere near each other (and drunk on top of that), end up slinging insults until they fight. The ensuing battle destroys Jam's new stall, which she has started up since she lacks the finances for a new restaurant.

Trivia

• Jam's theme song, which most people consider to be called "Babel Noise," is consistently written "Babel Nose" in all official material.
• Because of Jam's third ending with Ky, ome fans speculate about a romantic relationship between Jam and Ky, but nothing official on this has been released; most fans agree that Ky is simply too obsessed with his jobs and morals to notice (in a naive manner) any romantic affection. Also, not only Jam is very young and therefore possibly quite romantically immature, but her main goal is to be a top restaurateur, so she'd also lack of time to pursue a serious relationship; the picnic is easy to see as Jam's way to make up to Ky for falsely accusing him of destroying her restaurant.
• Interestingly, however, Jam's win quotes against Ky often have a sexual or flirtatious tension to them... though he is not the first and only male she has flirted with: Jam has also remarked on Testament's good looks and jokingly told Bridget to visit her when he grows up.
• Another interesting note is that Jam had heart shaped foods she was feeding Ky in the second ending.
