Reception
Jax was ranked as seventh on the list of top old school Mortal Kombat characters by Game Revolution in 2003. His "Arm Rip" Fatality from MKII was voted by the readers of GamePro as the best Mortal Kombat finishing move yet in 1995 and in 2006 the staff of IGN named it as the tenth best gore effect in the video game history. His "Giant Jax" Fatality from MK3 was also included by IGN in their "unofficial" list of top ten Fatalities in 2010, and, on the other hand, on GamePro's 2008 list of the 12 "lamest" Fatalities. Game Rant ranked Jax as tenth on the list of 10 most awesome Mortal Kombat characters, describing his "Gotcha Grab" and "Air Back Breaker" moves as two of the most satisfying moves from the original trilogy, but were not fond of his appearance in MKII where he looked like "a third tier WWE star in tight Lycra pants." Game Rant also ranked his "Three Points" Fatality from MK 2011 as the ninth best from that game, who was initially worried that his fatality would be like Sheeva's "Jackhammer", but was no longer worried when he kicked the opponents head off. Cheat Code Central listed Jax as the eighth best Mortal Kombat character, who commented while not too special in MKII, he became awesome in MK3, when he got the metal arms. 411mania placed Jax as the seventh best Mortal Kombat character, adding "Jax looks like a real bad-ass and that's what makes me want to play him." In UGO Networks' 2012 list of the Top 50 Mortal Kombat Characters, Jax placed at 10th. On the other hand, GameFront called him "a character no one cares about."

Famous quotes containing the word reception:
“He’s leaving Germany by special request of the Nazi government. First he sends a dispatch about Danzig and how 10,000 German tourists are pouring into the city every day with butterfly nets in their hands and submachine guns in their knapsacks. They warn him right then. What does he do next? Goes to a reception at von Ribbentropf’s and keeps yelling for gefilte fish!”
—Billy Wilder (b. 1906)
“To aim to convert a man by miracles is a profanation of the soul. A true conversion, a true Christ, is now, as always, to be made by the reception of beautiful sentiments.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Aesthetic emotion puts man in a state favorable to the reception of erotic emotion.... Art is the accomplice of love. Take love away and there is no longer art.”
—Rémy De Gourmont (1858–1915)
