Yet, JP is not your average white-collar criminal. Like M. Bison, he, too, helms the deadly purple force known as Psycho Power. And in battle, JP can use that power to destroy his opponents mentally and physically.

When JP strikes his staff into the ground, it activatesTriglav, a surprise attack that erupts Psycho Power thorns from the ground. Each attack strength has a different range, making Triglav an excellent zoning tool for JP.

JP’sTriglav also works well in combos, especially when juggling his opponent in the air. If you may place and time Triglav right after a wall bounce, JP’s opponent will ricochet around the stage like a volleyball!

OD Triglav adds more hits and increases knockback. So, it’s aremarkable reversal toolwhen JP’s opponent gets too close.

JP’sStribog attack hits opponents with a Psycho Power barriercreated by his staff. It’s a good move to know because it works well in combos and has a substantial reach. Combo Stribog out of a fast attack to whip JP’s opponent with a surprising impact!

OD Stribog amps up the attack’s power to superhuman levels. Itimparts more damage and triggers a wall bounce. In addition, it’s a stellarcounter-attackagainst incoming heavy attacks. The bounce leaves a small opening for a combo, making JP’s OD Stribog a tremendous transitional tool from defensive to offensive play.

Departure isJP’s master trap that limits opponent movementby sending thorny attacks fromoverheadPsycho Power voids. The attack has many options, including three ranges and two follow-up maneuvers.

One option out of JP’s Departure isDeparture: Window, which transports JP through the voidtoward the opponent. A jumping kick out of Departure: Window is a simple yet effective ambush.

The second option isDeparture: Shadow, which manually triggers Departure’s thorn attack. When his foe has gotten wise to Departure’s automatic timing, JP can use Shadow to trip them up.

OD Departure lets JP add a second void, unlocking even more possibilities! JP can transport himself twice in a row with Departure: Window. Or he can strike his opponent twice with Departure: Shadow. (Departure: Shadow attacks from the void closest to JP first.)

The two attack buttons you use to activate OD Departure willdictate where the two voids appear. For example, if you press LP and HP, you’ll summon a short-range and long-range void.

Amnesia activates when JP gets hit with an opponent attack. So, it’s a challenging move to pull off. But when he catches an opponent with it,JP attaches a Psycho Powered bombthat follows them across the stage.

As JP’s foe tries to escape the Psycho Powered bomb, they’ll quickly corner themselves. Thus, Amnesia is a great pressure tool.

JP’sOD Amnesia attaches two bombsthat instantly detonate. So, while normal Amnesia can pressure JP’s opponent, its OD version can reverse the opponent’s pressure when JP gets cornered.

JP’s Torbalan attacklaunches a Psycho Power-generated clonetoward his opponent. The attack’s nature changes with each attack strength:

In addition, JP’sOD Torbalan performs multiple attacks, allowing him to mix the technique into combos. However, this version is a tad slower than normal Torbalans.

With a fantastic range and a wealth of options, JP’s Torbalan will delight any trickster who enjoys confounding their foe. Once JP’s opponent gets wise to one version of Torbalan, he’ll keep them guessing with another version.

Embrace is JP’s command throwthat sends an exploding Psycho Power clone toward his opponent. It has a slower start-up but willgrab an opponent from across the stage, making it a unique long-range attack.

One of the best features of JP’s Embrace is that itsstart-up looks similar to Torbalan. So, if JP sends Embrace toward a foe expecting Torbalan, they’ll likely try to Drive Parry the attack. But to their surprise, JP’s throw will break through the parry.

Embrace is brutal to activate when JP’s foe is too close. Fortunately, JP’s OD Embrace has more power and less start-up time, making it ideal for close-range fighting.

JP’s General Strategy

JP’s key to victory is keeping his opponent as far away as possible.His most damaging specials and supers have incredible range. But as opponents close in, JP’s options become limited.

Let’s address JP’s long-range assets first. Several of JP’s special moves canpush foes back and lead to stellar juggle combos. JP’s Triglav is an essential juggling tool we cited a few times in our Bread And Butter combos.

JP’s other fantastic long-range special moves include Torbalan and Embrace. The two actions work well for tricking opponents since their start-up animations look similar.

Lastly, all three of JP’sSuper Arts have great offensive potential. Chronobog’s quick activation makes it easily incorporated into juggle combos. Luvushka stalls JP’s opponents with four clone attacks so he can come in for the kill. And to top it all off, Interdiction quickly warps JP to his opponent, making a brilliant ambush.

These tools are powerful, but onlyas long as JP controls the space. If a foe gets too close, he’ll start to falter. So, how can you keep opponents positioned in that sweet long-range area? And what can you do if your opponent gets too close for comfort?

Departure is JP’s primary trap.When a Psycho Power void gets placed in front of his opponent, they’ll likely run into the corner. Furthermore, JP’s OD Departure can flank the foe with voids on each side.

Still, Departure is an advanced tool that takes practice to use well. So, in the meantime,Triglav makes a suitable option for beginners. If you place Triglav between you and your opponent, it will keep them in check.

JP has some tricks if his opponent gets into melee range. Hisnormal attacks can pokefrom mid-range. So that’s one buffer you can use without sapping Drive or Super Art Gauge.

Then, if your opponent attempts to jump in, you can rely onJP’s anti-air attacks, including his Cr. Heavy Punch, Bylina, and Tornadoaerial throw.

Suppose your opponent avoids your pokes and gets you cornered. In that case, you should use JP’sOD Amnesia. It’s a safe bet since your opponent will try to land a few hits on you in this situation. And OD Amnesia activates so fast your opponent won’t see it coming.
