Not having played yet I don't know if this is really hard to do, but I hope it doesn't turn high level play into SC4's boring to watch where players are afraid to press buttons.

I don't think that will happen in SC5 until 5+ years into the game. The fact that 3S was the primary SF tournament game for 10 years is what led to that style developing.

Some genral thoughts here. First of all, this is a great video by Aris. It shows some of the ways you can utilise JG properly. However, I want to allay some concerns.
JG will not make GI obsolete. They are useful in different circumstances. JG is great against unblockables, and against similar timing mixups like the Hilde 3BA / 3BB as shown in this video. GI has a much bigger window and is better when you see a move coming but don't know exactly what it is, because you know what attacks you'll be able to follow up with.
Because you can bait re-GIs, you can get the double advantgage of getting a much bigger combo than with a JG, and you can waste your opponent's meter. Finally, and this is really important, if your opponent hasn't got enough meter to re-GI, you can use GI for absolutely guaranteed follow-ups.
With JG, every attack you JG will yield a different advantage: some won't be launch punihsable, and some won't be punishable at all. JG will be a really powerful tool in the hands of skilled players, but GI will still be important too.

I thought this at the beginning, and I remember Kayane sent this concern to Namco when JG was first announced. Multiple binds do not help at all, because there is a short window after you attempt a JG during which you can't attempt it again. To spam JG, you tap G rythmyically but not quickly, and it's very risky.

Is the data for JG going to be included in the guide? Or we will have to figure it out by ourselves?
