Blanka
JP vs. Blanka
- After blocking H Blanka Ball, you can setup EX Departure (214PP) safely. Regular Departure can get counter-hit by another H Ball.
- If you Perfect Parry a Blanka Ball, Drive Rush into HP works as a punish.
Cammy
JP vs. Cammy
- Her Level 3 can punish a bad Departure summon, be careful once she has full bar.
Chun-Li

Dhalsim
JP vs. Dhalsim
- If you teleport next to his Float, you can airthrow him out of it.
- Raw Float is low enough to be hit by Triglav (22P), but NOT if he floats from a jump.
- When anti-airing Teleport, input it as 2HP instead of 1HP, to avoid getting 3HP if he crosses up.

Jamie
JP vs. Jamie
- Punish random drinks in neutral with Triglav (22P)
JP
JP vs. JP (Even)
JP can counter his own kit very well, making this mirror a game of who commits the most first, and who can punish the other's mistakes.
- Level 1 can go right through Torbalan and punish. On the other hand, if you can bait it with fake Torbalan, you can punish it anywhere on the screen with Triglav.
- Frametrapping with L Torbalan, Triglav or their OD version is completly safe against OD Amnesia. Doing it from Heavies is also safe againt Level 1 due to it not being projectile-immune.
- Blocking Triglav lets you counterpoke with your own. Loses to OD Triglav, but you can use it yourself to guarantee you get the hit first. Bait it after your own Triglav is blocked to make your opponent waste Drive Gauge. If you Perfect Parry it, you get a guaranteed punish with your own or Level 3.
- Summoning Departure after a knockdown can only be punished with Level 3. Even OD Triglav isn't fast enough.
- Level 2 can punish both Triglav or Torbalan on a read thanks to it quick startup, and is safe to attempt (appart from the loss of super gauge).
- Level 3 shuts down anything JP can attempt at full screen if your reactions are on point.
Juri
JP vs. Juri
No Data
Ken
JP vs. Ken (Even)
One of JP's matchups that requires the most effort. Ken's incredibles Drive Rushes, Dragonlashes and Run makes him one of the hardest characters to zone, while his 5HP will punish you hard for whiffing 5MP or 2MK.
- OD Amnesia is very hard to use in this matchup due to Ken's great shimmy capacity. Don't rely solely on delay tech either. Instead, be patient and counter walk back with 2MK and anti-air his jumps. Due to Ken's throw loops, you can potentially get big reward off a hard read if you counter his throw, but a safer option is just jumping out of the corner, even if that means eating an anti-air.
- Stuff his Drive Rushes with 5MP when he isn't covering himself with a fireball. If he does, you can attempt to poke with L or M Striborg, wich will destroy the fireball and hit the Drive Rush. But don't get predictable or he will simply jump and punish. Keep in mind that every one of his Drive Rushes gets him closer to burnout, especially if he does them after 2MK or 5HP. Sometimes, it pays to be patient , even if you might eat some throws as being in Burnout severely limits his capacity to get in on JP. Drive Parrying is risky but can keep you in the meter lead.
- Although Jinrai's low followup is -5, you can't punish it with 5LK, and Ken will hit you hard for whiffing in front of him. Instead, counterpoke with 5MK and take your turn.
- Learn to anti-air with Air Throw or j.LP as Ken players love close and neutral jumps after HK Dragonlash or after a knockdown.
- Dragonlash Kick can go through Torbalan, same thing for Tastumakis. You can Drive Reversal it after blocking to gain some breathing room, but beware of Burnout. After this knockdown you don't get the time to setup much but you can try mixing between a real and a fake Torbalan.

Marisa
JP vs. Marisa (Even)
JP has all the tools to keep Marisa out while also keeping most of her scary options in check with his 22K to check most plus frames and 5MK to check the hop of 623P and the armor of 236P. However the explosive damage she has always makes her threat making this matchup easy to swing in either players favor.
- 2MK is a great tool to contest Marisa's upper-body armor.
Ryu
JP vs. Ryu
- Punish random Denjin Charges with Triglav (22P)
Zangief
JP vs. Zangief (Favorable)
Zangief has a hard time dealing with JP's zoning full screen and the threat of 22KK can make Zangief take even more risk than he already has to take to deal with JP.
- Zangief lacks ways of directly punishing Torbalan (236K) and especially Triglav (22P), making them easier to use in this matchup.
- You can Drive Impact if you see him charging his 5HP.
