Spittin' Jack may take the most skill to use effectively of any character in the game. He doesn't have a heavy weapon like a rifle or shotgun, and he's the most fragile of the six outlaws. One little stab from Two Feathers or one dead-on shotgun blast from Bloody Mary will send Sanchez to his eternal reward.

He specializes in the pistol for gosh sakes! It's pretty tricky to off someone with a pistol. You've gotta get at LEAST four shots into 'em, and usually it'll take five or six solid hits to take someone down. Now Jack's about as mean with his pistol as mortal man can be, fannin' off six shots in the blink of an eye, but still it ain't easy. Particularly when you gotta be real concerned about dodgin' yer opponent's fire 'cause you die real easily.

Fortunately Jack's also the quickest

character in the game. He's got some nifty moves for gettin' outta trouble, and he sure needs them. How can a potbellied guy with such a big hat move so quickly? Jack can jump around like a veritable jumping bean.

Jack also starts with dynamite. Dynamite's really hard ta use in a multiplayer game because everyone moves around really fast and you've gotta get the stick out, light it, hold down the fire button to get the distance, adjust yer inclination to get the right lobbin' angle, and then the stick's gotta travel through the air and the fuse has'ta burn down. That's a whole lot tougher than shootin' someone.

Of course, a stick in someone's face

will kill 'em every time. It's just hard ta get stick and face to meet. Most people I see usin' Sanchez are like me, and didn't have the patience ta practice with dynamite. They like Sanchez 'cause he's quick but they quickly get outgunned in a big melee. If only they knew how ta use dynamite effectively they could really kick some ass, but I've only met one guy who could kill consistently with TNT.
