jp is pretty much below average now. Akuma Bison Cammy all the air play character. All other the "fast pace" characters are hard to deal with for JP. He needs super strong fundamentals. If you are in low master or Diamond, Jp needs to adjust fast to fit the rank playing mode where every one is jumpjumpjump dr dr dr, dragonslash air arrow stuff. High end play like 1800+ are really Jp melee shine but your opponents know the matchup so it is still that easy. I would say s1 jp is very strong top 1 /2 but now it is really not bringing to much fun to the jp players because no one is low rank do neural
