The Season 2 patch for Street Fighter 6 has been released. In addition to Akuma joining the roster, the meta is sure to see some significant shifts due to balance adjustments made across the cast.
Being that JP was generally perceived to be one of the stronger characters throughout Season 1, he ended up receiving numerous nerfs with this update. As such, Saishunkan|Nemo, one of the top JP users in the world, stated that he felt “scared” to view JP’s nerfs for the first time on a recent stream.
FGC Translated provided a translation of what Nemo was saying as he explored JP’s combos from Season 1. Of course, even without translations, a lot can be deciphered from Nemo’s reactions alone.
Nemo immediately began to react when he noticed that JP’s target combo cancelled into his level 2 Super Art no longer gave him enough advantage to keep the combo going by using a standing heavy kick. This is a direct result of the increased recovery time that JP suffers from when using his level 2 Super Art.
“Oh my god!” exclaimed a gasping Nemo. “Are you serious?”
Needless to say, Nemo ended up running into a number of situations where the level 2 Super Art did not function the way it had before. Check it all out below:
