Location: Shadaloo Base (Chapter 6)
Overview:
JP's first phase introduces his unique psycho power abilities, including projectiles, teleportation, and summoning clones. He is a tricky zoner and mix-up character.
Strategy:
- Manage Projectiles: JP will use various psycho power projectiles. Learn their patterns and either parry them, jump over them, or use your own projectiles to negate them.
- Watch for Teleports: He frequently teleports, often for cross-ups or to get behind you. Be ready to block in the correct direction or use an invincible reversal.
- Punish Clones: When he summons clones, focus on hitting the real JP. The clones can be destroyed but often serve as distractions.
- Drive Impact His Pressure: JP can create strong pressure with his psycho power. Use Drive Impact to break his offense and create an opening.
- Stay Mobile: Don't stay in one place for too long, as he will zone you out. Use dashes and jumps to close the distance when safe.
Weaknesses:
Some of his psycho power moves have recovery, clones can be destroyed, predictable teleport patterns can be anticipated.
Rewards:
- Zenny
- XP
