They really hammered JP and I don't know why tbh. They already buffed parry against zoners, they already nerfed JP amnesia and 2HP and that dropped him a tier, maybe some nerfs but like he's the most-nerfed character of the patch and why?? (not a JP player btw, I play chun)

Same, i am an AKI player and i feel as though they completely butchered the man for no reason whatsoever.

They didn’t just nerf him they made him less fun too, which is what you never should do. It seems they just want JP to be just a full screen monster who chips away with his zoning tools. They nerfed his conversions, his oki, and his footsies. Most of the “buffs” are just unnecessary additions that don’t really add anything to him.

He can't do that either. They changed it. He is the only zoner in the game where parrying his projectiles actually give you a much bigger gain in your drive gauge. If you block three projectiles from him and then get to parry the next you instantly get all the drive you lost blocking the first three. This works counteractively to him being able to zone you effectively as he must close the distance if he is to do anything to you.

Jp anti air nerf was okayish until you had to deal with Luke jump Hp, but now they expanded his hurtbox on that move so it might not be as bad now. Before Luke kinda deleted Jp with jump ins which was pretty toxic.

The jealousy is real for JP.

Honestly the nerfs altogether are completely unsolicited. From all the nerfs he got the most major ones happened actually last mid patch. 1. His grounded AA option is gone or butchered to the point that it's actually unusable. 2. The most stupid nerf they could have done which kills him as a zoner, he can't burn you out with zoning at all. A few choice parries and all the damage he has done to your drive gauge is given back to you. What a stupid dumb and completely unneeded nerf. Then they go ahead even further with this too so now his zoning is not that great. Unga characters like Luke, Cammy and Ken beat him when he was at his best but now they just eat him for breakfast. Grapplers can close in the distance much safer and walk him down the corner because of point 2 so he has no real way to keep them away and pose a legitimate threat from a distance. Where is the dangerous factor now for this character? What does he get? As an AKI player in this game JP was one of my top 3 bad match ups but i didn't think it was unwinable, i found Marisa a much harder match up. Since the previous patch i considered JP non threatening already. With this patch now what the hell, the guy is a baby, completely toothless now. Anything and everything he does is a risk and even if he succeeds the damage he gets out of it is a joke as it doesn't really deter me from pressing buttons as even a single trade will be in my favour anyway.

Goodbye JP, i'm an Akuma main now. 😂

Looks like the people complaining got what they wanted - I put over a hundred hours into this guy and now he feels absolutely awful to play. His anti air just loses for no reason, his super 2 resets & combos are completely obliterated, his one defensive tool amnesia is absolutely awful to buffer (this one did deserve the nerfs to the followup last time round), his disjoints are nerfed, which would be fine if he didn't have the second slowest walk speed in the game (which is something a lot of people forget), so now he's playing at the same range as everyone else but with no advantage to counteract his poor movement. I sincerely hope this never happens to any character ever again, as I legitimately feel like i've wasted my time playing.

Not saying he wasn't usable because obviously he was, he was a decent character, but absolutely not top tier. Also, I play pretty much everyone and if I had to pick a "main" it would be Juri or Honda. You are simply not knowledgeable enough or sensible enough to have this debate. The only thing you said that was right was that he's now been ruined. Which tells me you agreed with my position on it, yet somehow felt a need to call me delusional and insult me. You stooooopid.

​@Behold__Optic_Blast if you think JP was never A tier you're either trolling or lying to yourself

At high ranks, this is now an extremely weak character. Zoning does not work at a distance closer than a full screen. Many moves simply overcome it, some are not designed for this. Like Honda's Headbutt, Ken's Dregonlash kick, raw drive rush, etc. A character with terrible walking speed received nerfs to all footsies normals. Why are Juri and Ken footsy monsters who can run the entire screen, but JP can't stop them with good hitboxes? The LV2 nerf destroyed many good setups, I personally spent many hours working on them and Capcom simply destroyed my work because they thought that someone doing LV2 super on wake (without invulnerability frames) was too unfair. The nerf to okizeme after LV3 greatly kills the comeback potential. Why is it enough for many characters to do one combo into LV3, one shimmy setup on okizeme and steal the victory, but JP can’t? Don't forget the last patch. What should JP do against jumps like j.HK Manon or Dive Kicks? Have you forgotten the nerf to Amnesia too? “The best reversal”, which counters the neutral jump and shimmy for a 50% panish combo. A regular DP is better than this. Character was EXTREMELY nerfed for high level play. From footsies and antiairs, to setups and juggles. And characters like Ken and Juri get buffs, and characters like Luke, Cammy and DJ get very neat nerfs. The whiners on Twitter who don't want to learn how to play the game correctly and study the matchup have done their job. Now enjoy a “fair” game where brained characters do neutral skips and strike/trow mixups with 50% combos all day long.

They should nerf Ken and Luke, its ridiculous really.
