JP's Sweep is the Least Negative on Block in Street Fighter 6
CAPCOM
Another interesting detail around the Regal Businessman

The introduction of JP as the playable character in Street Fighter 6 led to some confusion among the community. The Regal Businessman is not your typical fighter who wants to destroy opponents with his fists. His unorthodox style made people think that he was outrageously unbalanced. 

As time passed, players adapted to his psychic powers, and currently, JP is considered an A-tier character. Yet people discover interesting details. Did you know that his crouching heavy kick has the least negative on block value?

JP's sweep is only -6 on a block, which is two times less than Blanka and Ryu's disadvantages. The closest character to JP is Chun-Li, who has -7 on a block. It is worth noting that such a low amount is not the record for the Street Fighter franchise. In Street Fighter 4, Gouken had a sweep with -3 on a block.

In practical terms, such a low value means JP may only be punished by light or medium attack, and even that is not guaranteed. While this is not his ultimate trump move, you should be careful with that. Knowledge is power, and making fewer mistakes is the path to becoming a better player, so such details shouldn't be underestimated.
