P9s has 2 main strats for lc1 and it looks like jp strat is taking over pf (at least on European servers).

Which do you prefer?

My static does JP.I never really bothered learning Oppo Seems easier because there’s a lot less movement in between kicks, mostly standing around. Only thing with JP is the 6 maker needs to be ready to book it to the other side and 3rd defam needs to remember to stay.

I think oppo is safer because JP really needs the 6 marker to be on top of the ball (or do non-standard positioning, which is actually what I would recommend).

JP seems hard when you are learning it because of the tight timing on 2/6 fire. Once you learn what LC1 is doing and have fully processed the responsibility of each role, though, it’s the easiest.

You can make JP LC1 much more reliable by positioning a step closer to middle before crossing over if you are 2/6 fire. And also by reacting quickly and knowing where you are going in advance. Also sprint, obviously.

My group started with Krile and we had to switch because it was just way too much variance. JP was picked up in like an hour. Haven’t tried Oppo but I believe it has the same Def movement as Krile which we found had a lot of failure conditions if someone gets a bad read at the beginning.

jp is the only one my brain can easily and consistently understand, though I’m sure I could learn another strat given enough time. Once you learn and practice it it’s fairly consistent. I feel like it’s less thinking too, no need to worry about rotation, just straight lines.

I’ve been using JP since day 2 of the tier. I find it to be more straightforward than it looks.
