The lights hit a neon haze—greens, purples, and white strobes. Jace bursts out doing a loose, confident bounce-step, pointing to fans like he’s picking a rhythm partner. He shadow-kicks the air, lands clean, and throws a relaxed grin like the whole arena is his living room. He slides in, hops to the second rope, throws a quick “thumbs-up” salute, and drops down ready to fly.

Cool, confident, and creative. Plays to the crowd but never cheats. His confidence reads as “I’ve got this,” not arrogance.
High pace + timing: kick flurries to force cover-ups, then springboard/corner angles to punish hesitation. Counters power moves with quick rope escapes and sudden aerial bursts.
Work in a signature “kick combo” spot; do at least one big aerial near-fall per match; sell ribs after high-risk landings to keep it real.
No weapons, no eye rakes, no coward stalling. Don’t spam the biggest dives—make them matter.
Inspired-by style: flashy but crisp. Make his timing and balance the story—he lands clean, transitions fast, and forces opponents to chase him.
