To be honest Deice, I wasn’t even paying attention to my Ultra meter LOL. Yeah, I should have punished harder though. And I could have made life so much more easier if I used close st.mk and instant dives to escape TTs. But generally, I just took it, because sooner or later, Abel would think I’d try to escape and go for something like, cr.hp instead of TT and then I’m out of the mix-up, but with lots of life lost in the process unfortunately.
I don’t think I played solid at all. Too much jumping. I don’t like how I always play Juri like a boring bastard lol. Unfortunately, I think it’s best to try and keep Abel at arms length, so I feel like I have to resort to playing dry. I probably should have used more fuzzy guards, but I was dropping them so I just thought “screw it, I’ll leave it for now!”
Some random tid bit from spending too much time in the lab. For some reason Sim’s the only character you can get an IA ex dive kick to fully connect on. Good thing its matchup applicable too.
Jumping a lot vs Abel is a good thing though, he can’t do much against it. It saves you from getting tornado thrown in so many situations too. Nice matches vs Murasaki though Otogi. He lives in the same city as me but I still haven’t gotten round to vsing him offline.
Also Mike you posted in the other thread but you sure about trying to outzone chun for the duration of a match? The vid you posted was good but that Chun wasn’t playing the matchup very well. She has way better normals than Juri, and a good chun certainly won’t be standing at a distance that lets you charge fuhajins lol. In my opinion you gotta get a knockdown then rush her down, her anti air options are crap too although when she has meter you gotta watch for that EX spinning kick. Next time you’re online I’ll get you in a lobby with my friend ButWhere, if you can outzone him I’ll give you a beer.
I agree with what Kail said to me earlier, rushdown wins this game hands down.
I personally also zone Chun-Li, and try to stock FSE meter, then go for FSE mixups when I score an opportunity. Chun-Li doesn’t really have the tools to get in against Juri zoning easily, except when she gets Ultra1 stocked, since you have to be very careful with fuhajins after that (when Chun has charge). Chun’s anti-airs are also pretty decent, a good chun-li is definitely not a free jump-in, but luckily Juri destroys normal anti-airs. Like you say, Chun-Li has very good normals, so you don’t want to get into footsies, and her mixups upclose are really nasty with Juri’s lousy defenses.
Of course, like I said, when the opportunity arises, activation and rushdown works quite well. But I definitely feel zoning can be a solid strategy against many characters, Chun-Li being one of them.
Im damn sure about Zoning Chun because its the one area you excel at that she doesnt. She has your number in rushdown and defence, her floaty ass jump is easy to AA so you need to take advantage of that. This is how ill often play a Chun:
I’ll Zone
-She eventually gets in
-I play 100% defence and look for an openening to escape
-I keep zoning
-If i see a opportunity for a jump in/small rushdown off a AA ill take it
Its just one of those things where you got to pick your strengths and stick with them.
Both actually , dropping fuzzy guards on hit and block. Not cool, and I definitely agree, keep Abel away, if you get a knockdown or get him in the corner, rush him down.
Oh, you’re UK too? Do you post on Neoempire? And thanks!
What happens in this match up is you’re going at chun full zoning. You see she makes a mistake and you get a kd. You rush it down. She gets meter, the game changes.
You can’t afford to give her a kd. So force her to use her meter. Once she doesn’t have it anymore… Rush.
Now if only we could find a way to stuff her ex sbk on start up. If we had no reason to fear it, just rush her.
But in reality what happens is you’re facing her, rushing her down and you get hit with some bullshit like a jab > ex legs or a lucky throw. Now you die.
So I can see being resistant to rushing down for a reason.
I posted in the “works on who” thread about using nj hp to start fuzzy guard. I have to test it out fully but going by the threads info on what works on hit it seemed like nj hp is a nice setup as it works on hit more than roundhouse.
Also remember that Abel can’t get hit by fuhajin in the corner up close. That’s a jump strong xx dive kick > ultra.
Sort of, as in ive spoken to him online and played him abit on XBL. Hes coming to our offline sessions this Friday so ill meet him then. Both of us live in Boro lol.
In keeping with my weekly/bi-weekly 3 video uploads heres the ones that stood out the most:

I thought this match was a good example of how good cr.mk is in the footsie game, it goes under everything and has its uses on wakeup. This dude in question was abit surprized how one of this headbutt combos missed on Juri, so i suppose its a plus we get in the matchup, since some of their headbutt combos might whiff on us, although im not too sure of the specifics.

So yeah, this mystery man played me a match before this and beat me thanks to a little online aid known as mashing, so i ran it back later, and this would be the result. Goes to show how far mashing online can get you.
Other than that I liked how Kara Grab took him out of H.TK at the end, wasnt aware that could work, then again it does have a long startup for a reversal.

One of my greatest weaknesses is displayed in the first round, i really suck at closing games out. Especially against mashers like this guy, watch the inputs just for the lols if you must.
