Jump Showdown Short Alchemist
Short Alchemist is Edward Elric with a transmutation kit and, as of June 2026, a finished Awakening. He is still Early Access. This page is the practical kit guide; unlocks cover the pass, the tier list covers where he sits until damage tables catch up.
What changed in the Alchemist update
Older wikis still say the kit is unfinished. That was true on the [ALCHEMIST PART 1] tag. In mid-June 2026 Jimpee shipped the ultimate: community showcases put the new G in the same session as a Cursed Child farm. The Roblox experience title later flipped to [ALCHEMIST RELEASE]. If a YouTube thumbnail from winter 2025 is your only source, you are reading a dead patch. Pair this page with the roster so you do not confuse Early Access with “not in the game.”
The clip is a live kit tour, not a frame-data sheet. Watch the transmutation extensions, the double-jump flavor called out in June patch chatter, and the electric second use on the launcher. Then come back here for the rules the video will not pause to write down.
How to play him
- Buy Early Access on the official experience. There is no boss drop and no code.
- Alchemy wants walls and floors. Take fights at the castle, not the football field. See the map.
- Do not spend G as a poke. Confirm a launcher or a wall combo, then dump the ultimate.
- Against Cursed Child, side dash the slide first. The boss guide still applies; alchemy does not skip phase two.
He is not free S-tier. Godly Highschooler still owns published damage. Short Alchemist is the pass you buy if you like Fullmetal Alchemist, not the pass you buy to skip parry homework. If the ultimate feels weak in your hands, the kit is still asking for confirms. Go dummy. Then queue.
