Being the heaviest-weighted normal, your Heavy Punch will beat your opponent’s light and medium attacks on trade and the Wind Kick will start your combo.

Standing Heavy Punch to Wind Kick is also a good option for zoning with a normal. From a crouching HP anti-air you can combo Wind Kick into Shadow Endokuken to Tiger Fury for decent unbreakable damage as well. If you have meter available, you may want to use it to get additional damage from your opponent’s jump in attempt and get a small juggle off these options. If your opponent jumps in at you to avoid your Endokuken, you can use crouching HP or Tiger Fury to anti-air them. Use the Wind Kick Ender to knock your opponent away after the combo so you can continue to zone. Additionally, while zoning, if you see your opponent whiff anything from a distance, then Heavy Wind Kick will bring you right in to start your combo. If against a zoning character, having meter means you will be able to Shadow Wind Kick on reaction to beat out that character’s projectiles. As you use it to control the space and direction from which your opponent can approach, you will build meter whenever you get it blocked. When zoning with Jago, your primary attack is going to be your Endokuken. Additionally all of Jago’s Light Kick variations are all positive on hit and block and useful for pressure. For crossup attempts, Jago should use jumping Medium Kick or jumping Heavy Punch. For anti-air purposes, crouching Heavy Punch is the ideal choice. Mixing standing Heavy Punch with Neck Cutter is very useful as a footsie tool in protecting the ground in front of you. Both have longer reach than you would imagine and are useful to combo into a Wind Kick. Jago’s standing Heavy Punch and standing Medium Punch are great ranged normals. If you like to throw your opponent, then Jago is also capable of this, as he gets juggles from his throws as long as he has Shadow Meter. If you want to rush in and pressure your opponent, then his command normals, Laser Sword, Light Wind Kick, and Shadow Endokuken become your best friends. If you want to turtle it out and zone your opponent, then Endokuken and Wind Kick will serve you well. In the combat triangle of rushdown, zoner, and grappler, Jago actually tries to fit into the center of the triangle, as he has qualities of each side. Jago is a well-balanced character in that you can approach him with a variety of play styles.
