I am the lone Juni player in my area. Hooray for originality.
What’s the timing on her Psycho Shield?

If you want to play Juni at her peak, you should play her as a semi-turtle character and sit just outside their attack range. A blocked low air drill is 99% safe against most characters from any range other than point blank and knocks down. Pushblock also gets you out of guard crush situations, unblockables and any variety of potential mix-ups. Her footsies are also strong thanks to her walk-speed and c.RH/s. RH, and she can play plenty of wake-up/jump-in games with her target combos and her command throw. Her teleport also recovers deceptively fast and can be good for escaping and baiting activations.
If she’s got a drill charged, there’s no way for the opponent to safely approach her other than walking in unless they want to jump into a cannon spike or blow some meter. If you watch a top level Juni player like the one from the last Vegas cup, people fighting her are forced to slowly inch their way towards her because they’re paranoid about getting hit.
Her positioning game is also really strong since pushblock sends you back quite a ways, and you can easily corner someone very quickly by using their own offense against them. It can also be used to keep cornered opponents where you want them and to punish moves with frame disadvantage by keeping you right next to them.
She slows down the pace of the game by an immense amount unless the other person wants to walk into a ton of air drills. If you’ll notice, Juni players tend to win a lot by timeout (or close to it). A good Juni player will be buffering air drills constantly and doing a good job of masking it.
I think she’s by far one of the most solid characters in the game. Her main weakness being that she has trouble making comebacks if the other person has a big lead and forces her to come to them. She has the tools to get a lead and then keep it for a long time while taking minimal damage. If the opponent starts to get frustrated and impatient then you’ve probably won because they’ll keep taking damage and before they know it, there’s 20 seconds left on the clock.
If you want to learn her quickly and you have GGPO, play Alioune. He has an incredibly frustrating V-Juni even though she’s not his main. Until you learn to read his movements better, you’ll swear he doesn’t have a charge stored or doesn’t have enough time to get one and then you’ll eat another air drill.
Is there a frame data chart for Juni/Juli/Cammy?

From the last Vegas Cup 2 on 2 tournament. VER teamed up with a V-Juni player and made it to semifinals, I believe (Krusher and a Sakura player got first unless I’m interpreting it wrong). This Juni player could’ve stood to use pushblock a little more though.

Here’s what I mean. She runs the timer out on Sakura both rounds, and even the round that Sakura wins, it took her almost the full 90 seconds to do so. That’s S too. It’s not some random scrub. He changes his approach and tries to go on the offensive against the Gouki player, but he ends up losing. I’m assuming because his dive kick makes turtling less effective.

Thanks. This should be helpful.
this is very impressive. excellent job!
Great thread! I’ve always mained Juni, but i gotta admit i stil have ways to go with her, specially regarding v-ism (i still play her in A-ism). My Karin and Vega (Claw) are much, much better, and i don’t even use them so much nowadays. Hopefully all of this will help me play a Juni that will strike fear in the heart of my enemies! :P.
You know, peeps, there’s some hidden moves for Juni. Same goes with Juli
Aren’t those hidden moves for when both Juni and Juli are on the same screen??? =?
Something like this my good man, yes but there are some moves which they have by themselves.
Here’s one

Does Juni have a fighting chance against Adon at all?
You mean like in canon, or like against someone in the game?
I’d say yes
tbh
but that’s just me.
I’ve been looking for Cammy matchups in the entirety myself. I still have no information on ANY of Cammy’s matchups. Let alone, Juni D=
Im looking for Juni & Juli ones. Nothing else. You could try the Warrior’s Fate Thread on the FanFic Library, they could probably help.
I meant for matchups. I could care less about canon or fanfics >.>
You could look around in other SF forums.
That is if Xenozip or Sabre doesn’t know =P
Juni’s a pretty badass chara, the only thing is that she’s hard to master. once you master her, you’re gonna kick a lotta ass, matchups i don’t pay much attention to, but I just wanna know about her matchups.

Sorry I should have been more spicific in what I was asking.
Alright how about this then. Does she stand a chance in the game aganist a X-ism Adon? How would/should the match up go?
