Remember JP? It’s been a while since Street Fighter 6’s main antagonist has been all that antagonistic, but today we’ve got a pretty potent block string sequence the Shadaloo accountant can pull off as it deletes a blocking opponent’s entire Drive Gauge.
It does require a ton of meter commitment from JP, himself, but begins from a fairly common situation as all JP needs is a knock down in the corner to begin. He threatens with a routine portal mix up, and if you block correctly your reward is getting chipped for days.
JP was arguably the biggest loser of the Street Fighter 6 Season 2 update as fans expressed tons of frustration with his unconventional fighting style and relatively overpowered abilities.
Though developers nerfed JP’s Super 2, standing heavy kick, and standing heavy punch in one way or another, they’re all integral in the string.
The defender can choose to use a third of their Drive Gauge to go for a strategic Drive Reversal, of course, but you’ll want to do so relatively early in the string so as to mitigate as much chip as possible.
Whether you’re a JP main or not, you’ll want to be able to recognize this pressure so as to be ready to pull it off or identify it quickly for a counter. Check it out in full below:
