#SF6_JP

Introduction

Head of an international NGO responsible for many successful investment projects, and the man behind Nayshall's present prosperity. Has a beloved cat named Cybele.

The elegant ex-Shadaloo financier saunters onto the battlefield as a slow but powerful zoner. Unlike other zoners who focus on firing off quick projectiles or pestering opponents with fast and long-ranged normals, JP chooses instead to bury his opposition in a barrage of psychic power. JP wants his opponents sitting still, for it is when they feel there is no hope of escape that he can set them up for a devious mixup situation.

JP's central special moves are Torbalan and Triglav. The former is a slow but large projectile that can be fired along three different lanes of movement, and the latter is a nearly instant spike attack that can come out at nearly any part of the screen. While Torbalan is slow, it has a ton of uses and can even mix up your opponents as one variant is a low and another is an overhead. Triglav meanwhile acts as both a detterent and anti-air, catching people trying to move towards JP and sniping out poor air approaches. With these two special moves, JP forces his opponents back towards the corner and continues to bury them in full-screen pressure. Once an opponent has eaten a combo or chooses to sit still for long enough, JP can deploy his signature Departure, a portal that will either shoot out a tracking spike or act as a teleport point for JP to warp to at any time.

While JP's zoning is strong, any good opponent will eventually get past it. Once they are within striking distance, JP likes to use his midrange pokes to bat opponents backwards. 5HP is a great callout tool that can be special canceled, while his 2HP is a solid anti-air and his 2MK is a fantastic poke. Any good hit JP gets can be instantly canceled into a Drive Rush combo that sends your opponent to the opposite end of the screen and allows him to resume his zoning. Opponents who make overly-deliberate plays can be hit with JP's counter Amnesia, which deals no damage but leaves opponents stuck to a timed bomb.

JP has an extremely large mixup toolbox. His throw game is very strong and has high reward, but he can also perform powerful high/low mixups if he has Depature set up above you. His level 2 super is an incredible mixup tool that can be used to create airtight mixups, resets, and even full-on unblockables to melt your health bar. JP has mixups everywhere- he has mixups in his Target Combos, he has mixups in his pressure sequences, and he even has mixups in his zoning! JP has access to Embrace, a fullscreen projectile command grab that gives JP excellent pressure opportunity on hit, looks just like Torbalan, and does high damage.

It's important to stress that all this offensive power comes at a steep cost, that being JP's movement. Unlike other zoners who don't necessarily sacrifice movement for their zoning prowess, JP has terrible movement stats and must rely on Drive Rush for any considerable mobility. In addition, JP's zoning specials are very slow and open him up to punish opportunities on an incorrect play that other zoners might be safe from. JP also has a notable deadzone within the midrange, where his pokes are either fast, but too stubby, or long, but too slow. His tall standing hurtbox and wide frame also make him vulnerable to mixups at a greater extent than other members of the cast, and while he does have Amnesia to bail him out of bad scenarios, that too carries immense risk. In general, JP is great for players who love to keep their opponents at a constant disadvantage and can manage to get around his slower movement. If you love overwhelming offensive might without having to get your hands too dirty, then there's no better pick than this master of Psycho Power.

Pick if you like:	Avoid if you dislike:
Having a varied zoning kit comprised of Projectiles and Strikes, with mixups and counters to Drive Parry built in Using a variety of strong and safe close-range buttons with options for mixups Crafting tons of setups which can lead to resets, mixups, and even unblockables A unique counter reversal that works on both strikes and throws and allow for custom follow-ups and punishes	Needing momentum in life or frames to win zoning wars due to slower startup on projectiles and Triglav trading most of the times Being slower than average, both in walkspeed and Drive Rushes Having to deal with unique counters to your zoning present on most of the cast

Frame Data Glossary - SF6
Hitbox Images	🟥 (Red): Attack hitbox Appears pink for Throw hitboxes 🟩 (Green): Vulnerable hurtbox that can be hit by strikes/projectiles If a move's hitbox and hurtbox overlap, the colors blend to appear orange 🟦 (Blue): Vulnerable throw hurtbox Will be thrown if Pink throw hitbox touches Blue throw hurtbox
Active	How many frames a move remains active (can hurt opponents) for. For projectiles with a maximum active period, a value may be listed in [brackets], but this number is not factored into the move's total frame count. For multi-hit moves with no gaps between the active hitboxes, active frames are listed as X,Y (or sometimes X*Y) For multi-hit moves with gaps between hits, active frames are listed as X(n)Y where n = the frame gap between hitboxes.
Cancel	Available options for canceling one move into another move. "Chn": Chain cancel (Light normals; specific chain options listed in Description) "TC": Target Combo "Sp": Special move "SA": Super Art (if a number is listed, refers only to that specific Super; SA3 = Lv.3 Super Art) "Jmp": Jump cancel (usually on hit only, if applicable) "SS": Serenity Stream (Chun-Li's stance) If one hit of a multi-hit attack is cancelable, this can be indicated with (1st), (2nd), etc. Occasionally, a move can be canceled only into a specific follow-up (e.g. Dee Jay [4]6P > 22PP); this can be indicated by listing the move input in the Cancel field, or with an asterisk that is explained in the move notes (Sp*)
Cancel Hitconfirm Windows	Hitconfirm reaction windows into Special Moves, Target Combos, and Super Arts. Refers to the amount of time (in frames) you have to cancel one attack into another attack on reaction e.g. most cancelable 2MKs have a 13 frame window to cancel into a Special/Super on reaction, making them nearly impossible to hitconfirm Counts from the first frame the attack connects until the final cancelable frame Visual effects like hitsparks and HP drain do not actually occur until frame 2; the first frame is still counted to keep the numbers consistent with previous games, and because it is technically possible to start reacting to the character's reeling animation on frame 1 If a Target Combo is cancelable into another attack, the hitconfirm window will include the entire sequence starting from the first hit If there is a frame gap on block between hits of the TC, the hitconfirm window may also be included for just the followup hit Some sequences like Ken's 5MP~HP TC may have a range of values listed (43f~47f). In this example, inputting 5MP~HP at its usual timing gives a 43f hitconfirm into a Special/Super. Delaying the chain into HP gives more total time for the final hitconfirm.
Damage	Attack damage on hit. Multi-hit moves may have the damage listed for individual hits as X,Y (or sometimes X*Y). Sometimes a move's damage changes depending on which active frame connects, or on cinematic vs. non-cinematic hits; in this case, multiple values may be listed, and it will be clarified in the move description.
Damage Scaling	Some moves cause additional damage scaling in combos. Refer to Game Data page for a more detailed breakdown. Scaling Types: Starter: When a move begins the combo, the next attack is scaled by X percent e.g. Ryu 2MK (20% Starter) > Hadoken: Hadoken is at 80% damage scaling Combo: When a move is comboed into, the next attack is scaled by X percent or X number of hits e.g. Ryu 2HP > OD High Blade Kick (2-Hit Combo Scaling) > Shoryuken: Shoryuken is at 70% damage scaling (100% > 100% > [skip 80%] > 70%) e.g. Cammy 5HP > OD Spiral Arrow (5% Combo Scaling) > Cannon Spike: Cannon Spike is at 75% damage scaling (100% > 100% > [80-5 = 75%]) Immediate: When a move is comboed into, this attack is scaled by X percent e.g. Drive Impact Crumple (20% Starter) > Throw (20% Immediate): Throw is at 60% damage scaling Multiplier: A damage scaling multiplier applies after Perfect Parry (50%) and mid-combo Drive Rush (15%). Any hits in the combo continue their usual damage scaling, but reduced by these amounts. These can bring the minimum scaling below the usual 10%, and they stack with each other; as a result, the minimum scaling can reach 4% using a long Drive Rush combo after Perfect Parry. Minimum Scaling: The lowest damage scaling that can be applied to an attack. Super Art Level 1/2/3 generally has 30%/40%/50% minimum scaling respectively. This ensures the attack will still do reasonable damage even at the end of a heavily scaled combo.
Drive Rush Cancel Advantage	Refers to the frame advantage when canceling a normal, command normal, or Target Combo into Drive Rush on hit or block (abbreviated as DRC for Drive Rush Cancel). This is calculated at the moment a follow-up attack can be input, not at the moment the character can block or perform movement options. An attack that with DRC +8 on Hit can link into an 8-frame attack, and DRC +4 on Block can create a true blockstring into a 4-frame attack. Note that any DRC on Block worse than +4 cannot form a true blockstring, allowing the opponent to interrupt with an invincible reversal. Most light normals are slightly negative after a DRC on block, meaning the opponent can mash their fastest normal to guarantee a counter-hit (though this requires fast reactions). The attacking character could punish this with Light > DRC into an immediate invincible attack, but this would be an incredibly expensive and high-risk gambit.
Forced Knockdown	Most airborne command normals, special moves, and Super Arts put the user in a "Forced Knockdown" state. While in this state, an air knockdown will occur when being hit by any attack, even if it would otherwise cause an air reset. As an example, Ryu's 2HP causes an air reset when used as an anti-air. Against a move like Cammy's Hooligan Combination, however, the 2HP puts her into an air knockdown state. This allows Ryu to successfully cancel 2HP into Shoryuken for a juggle, similar to how a Drive Impact wall splat works. Taking advantage of Forced Knockdown juggles is important for dealing with moves like Ken's Dragonlash, Dhalsim's Air Teleport, or Kimberly's 6HK~Hop sequence. Moves that already cause an air knockdown, like most j.MP air-to-airs, will not display the "Forced Knockdown" message.
Guard	Refers to the direction an attack must be blocked. L is for Low attacks (must be blocked crouching), H is for High attacks/overheads (must be blocked standing), LH is for attacks that can be blocked crouching or standing. T is for Throw attacks which cannot be blocked.
Juggles	When a character is put into an Air Knockdown state, it is often possible to follow up with a Juggle attack before they hit the ground. In the simplest terms, there are 2 main juggle states: Free Juggle: any attack can juggle, causing an Air Reset or an Air Knockdown Limited Juggle: only specific attacks with juggle potential may juggle The following is a more detailed overview of the SF6 juggle system: Juggle Count (JC): The status of the character being juggled. A high JC limits which attacks can work in juggles. JC0: free juggle state - any attack that can hit an airborne opponent will work JC1+: limited juggle state - juggle only works if the attack's Juggle Limit ≥ defender's Juggle Count A juggle count of -1 represents a crumple state; this can lead to a grounded or airborne hit depending on timing Juggle Start (JS): When starting a juggle, the opponent's JC will be set to this value. May be different vs. standing and airborne opponents. Attack with Juggle Start value of 3 will put opponent at JC3, so only attacks with Juggle Limit value ≥ 3 can follow up Even for attacks that don't normally start a juggle, this is relevant for Forced Knockdown and Crumple situations Juggle Increase (JI): When opponent is already in a juggle state, attacks will increase the opponent's JC by this amount. Airborne opponent at JC1 followed by attack with Juggle Increase value of 3 will set opponent to JC4 Juggle Limit (JL): Property of an attack hitbox that determines whether it connects on a juggled opponent. The JL must be ≥ the opponent's JC to hit successfully. An uppercut with a JL value of 5 will connect on an opponent at JC5 or below, but will whiff on JC6 opponent Most normals have a JL value of 0, meaning they only work in Free Juggle (JC0) states Some multi-hit attacks have different JL values on each hit, so a 3-hit move may only hit twice in juggles An example to tie everything together: An attack (JS3) launches opponent into the air (Opponent now at JC3) Followed up with an attack (JI2/JL4); it connects, because JL4 ≥ JC3 (Opponent now at JC5) Attempts to juggle again with same attack (JL4), but whiffs because JL4 < JC5 (Opponent hits the ground) Drive Rush notes: DR normals have a Juggle Start/Increase value of 0 DR normals have +3 added to their usual Juggle Limit More recently, the official definitions used by Capcom are slightly different than these community-designated terms. When reading official patch notes, the following terms are used instead: Combo Count Initial Value Combo Count Additional Value Combo Count Upper Limit
On Hit/Block	These are frame advantage values when the attack hits or is blocked. If the number is positive, then the move will recover before the defender can act again. If the number is negative, the defender will be able to act before the attacker and maybe even punish. KD refers to knockdown on hit, and the listed KD Advantage refers to how many frames the attacker can act before the defender finishes their wakeup animation. Note that generally, there is an extra +2 hit advantage on Counterhits and +4 hit advantage on Punish Counters (exceptions are noted in the description).
Recovery	How many frames it takes for a move to finish after the active frames have finished. For projectiles, recovery is considered to begin after the first active frame. Moves with different recovery values on hit/block/whiff may have multiple values listed like X(Y), with specific details listed in the description.
Startup	How many frames it takes before the move becomes 'active' or have a hit box. The last startup frame and the first active frame are the same frame, meaning all values are written as Startup + 1. Moves with multiple relevant startup values may be listed as X(Y); for example, a move that hits airborne first before hitting grounded opponents, or a 2-hit move where the first hit whiffs at some ranges.
IASA / Actionable Recovery	Some moves play out an extended recovery animation when no other button/direction is input (for crouching moves, it applies when holding any down direction). These are often referred to as "actionable recovery" frames; in some games, the term IASA (Interruptible As Soon As) refers to the frame that Actionable Recovery begins. Letting the Actionable Recovery frames play out can change the character's position, potentially setting up spacing traps by recovering farther away. For example, Manon 5HP will recover much farther away from the opponent if no input is performed immediately after her recovery; holding back or down-back to block will keep her much closer to the opponent.

• Punish Counter: +25

JP's longest range cancelable normal along with 6HK, it can work as a commital but safe on block poke in neutral, thanks to its heavy blockstun allowing you to frametrap into Triglav, wich is safe on block. Be careful about it not whiffing. On hit, its heavy hitstun also allows combos into Light Torbalan on hit. It also has juggle potential, and see uses in some of JP's launch combos.

Its high frame advantage on punish counter makes it a good punish starter for very unsafe attacks.

Whiffs on crouchers at max range. Your best combo starter as it links into 2MP, or goes into the 5HP target combo if you're too far away. Fast enough to work after jump-ins or Drive Impact crumples. On block, this is JP's only plus on block normal, allowing you to frametrap with 2LP or 5LK.

It can also work as an anti-air for distant jumps that might make 2HP whiff.

A target combo that does everything you could ask it to. It is safe on block, cancels, and has mixups attached to it.

Canceling into MP Stribog frametraps everything that's isn't invincible but is unsafe on block, while canceling into Triglav trades with 4 frame attacks but leaves you so plus that you will have the time to setup Departure and still be advantageous.

If the opponents decides to block/parry the followup, you can cancel into Embrace to surprise them.

Finally, as the target combo is only -3, you can end it with no followup to bait DPs and Drive Impacts.

JP summons a spike from the ground, with the button used determining the location.

Useful for zoning, as it will ignore your opponent's fireball and strike them directly, at the price that you will trade with their fireball instead of nullifying them, wich can be a viable tactic if you have life lead. The spikes don't count as projectiles, allowing them to strike projectile-invulnerable attacks.

Also works as a full-screen check against character that might try to use the distance for setups (like Ryu's Denjin Charge).

On hit, they launch the opponent into a juggle state. On regular hit, you can only land 2HP or level 1 in the corner. But on a high air connect, you can land a second spike anywhere on screen. You can also use the long knockdown time to safely setup Departure.

Triglav

Startup	Active	Recovery	Cancel	Damage	Guard	On Hit	On Block
20	10,10	14	SA2 SA3	500x2	LH	KD +53(+50)	+3

JP summons two spikes. The button combination determines the location, with LP+MP using the LP location, LP+HP using the MP location and MP+HP using the HP location.

Hits two time, useful for single-hit armored moves that might beat regular Triglav, and is also plus on block allowing for pressure reset if you cancel it from a heavy normal or the 4MP target combo. On hit, the juggle state is a little more limited as you can't land 2HP anymore but can still juggle level 1.
