So we have an astonishing 30 returning characters from previous street fighter games, and only 9 new characters exclusive to the SFIV series. So out of those…which do you feel is the magnum opus? Why?
I voted Juri…I think she is easily the best design. Why?
-
Her projectile. Being able to store multiple projectiles to release when you please, as well as the fact that that initial storing motion counts as a hit and can cancel projectiles without having to release.
-
Feng Shui Engine. Completely changes the way she plays, many moves with different properties and the ability to chain like in the Marvel games.
-
Her other specials are also pretty unique, you don’t find them in other characters. Her long dive kick is like B Jenet from Garou…but not like any other Street fighter. Her parry allows her to close distance at alarming speed and functions differently than other characters with a parry. Her pinwheel kick is probably the least inventive in terms of function but at least looks cool.
