Spiders United - Juri Q&A and General Discussion

I main Juri and I focus on her a lot in this game, and I was wondering if I place her First or secondary. I really think Nina and Juri work very well with each other in terms of juggles,and Asuka too. Learning a lot of new combos I’m enjoying a whole a lot. What Gems are good for her? I run Nina which is extremely beast love that character.

I’m running the exact same team, and I tend to put Juri as the second character. Nina can handle herself very well without meter, and all of her combos (since they’re so damn long) build a lot of meter. Juri, as well, handles herself well without meter, but I like to have super stocked with I pla as Juri, so putting her second works well for me.

As for gems, I haven’t really found that they’re that important. I run meter gems because…well…I like meter.

Damn. day 2 and i finally put maybe like an hour or less with juri. She’s too damn good in this game. Her corner combos are so much fun =)
J.hp cancel is gonna lead to a lot of new found pressure, especially in the corner.
Still no teammate for her. I was looking at steve fox something about him seems purdy cool when he spins and stuff =D
hope you other juris are learning well. Keep me posted.
OOOH and found some nifty tech that i hope some juris find out as well. I won’t say it yet. I wanna give it time for all the new guys to learn the ropes. Trust me it is gdlk!

heh, well can’t wait til you share.

Is Juri’s go to punish now cr hp, j. Cancel, dive kick, cr MK xx Pinwheel?

I’m finding punishment opportunties a little weird online at least, seems like everything is safe on block in this game!!
I find myself saying 'Whu? – Whatever!"

Has anyone had difficulty doing combos after Juri’s chain into launcher? Whenever I do launch from st. hp with Julia I find it hard to hit anything coming in. But when I launch from Cr. HP its much easier. Cl St. HK to launch I can combo off of when coming in and far st. HK to launch I can’t. Is this just me? Is it a timing thing? And does launcher from St. HP always whiff in the corner?

answered your question in the other thread. but yeah st HP causes juggle state and launchers only hit grounded opponents.

i haven’t tested far hk launch stuff, do you mean raw far hk and you can’t cancel into launcher?

Yeah, that’s one of the commonly asked questions that is going into the top post lol.

Also, st far HK can lead to launcher.

Heard her light pinwheel is now -2 on block.

[S]character is scrubby as fuck now holy shit. Glad I put up with her since Super to 2012![/S]

i dunno bout that, it’s really really unsafe

Yeah, as per the guide, LK Senpusha is -2 on block.

That’s what’s up lol. I’m working on her pressure and mixups for Nina.

Juri’s Expinwheel is now an Anti Crossup, if it trades you can combo off the trade with cr.mk, which you can combo into lk pinwheel, store or super :slight_smile:

With an extra meter you can also still get a combo off of it by tagging in your partner.

It doesnt pay out alot, maybe 10 damage or so and you cant follow it up, but with meter or a trade you can.

SON OF A BITCH! I CAN’T FIND A PARTNER FOR JURI?! outside of ken tatsu she can’t covert off of srk team cancel…
She’s so good by herself. i feel like i can honestly ocv a team. she’s too good T.T
Why can’t juri just be paired with a clone or something…=( life is unfair man…

Hahaha totally agree. I’m using Chun with her. Team lesbian rivals?!

So I finally got the game in the post this morning, a day before the EU release. I literally spent 10+ hours playing it today ( I only turned off the Xbox about 20 mins ago… I have a pounding headache and my mind is probably fried too. )

So, my day 1 impressions.

Juri is some much better in this game. She finally has stuff that she should have gotten in the original version of AE and just seems more solid. I feel her zoning isn’t as strong as in AE2012 but then again, I feel zoning isn’t that great in this game from my initial impressions.

As for the partner I’m using, sorry Bison players but my impressions of him weren’t good. I feel he is inferior to his SF4 counter part. Right now, I’m using Lili because I kind of like her playstyle, though I haven’t being able to land any combos from Juri launchers with her yet ( I really need to explore more characters. )

On that topic, I had someone on XBL today think I was a girl because I was using Juri / Lili online. T_T ( Probably doesn’t help my user name isn’t the most masculine one ever and my XBL avatar is of Juri ) On top of several people asking me how I’d gotten the game a day early ( pre-order from a site that usually delivers before launch day. )

Online is buggy but playable, hope the sound issues are fixed ASAP ( better than gameplay issues imo. )

So that’s my first impressions.

yay juri/lili.

Juri is a freaking beast in this game. I’ve been ocv’ing a lot of the people I play with, which is a good thing because I can’t find a good partner for her!! I’ve been rolling with Asuka, but MAN to I suck with her.

Bit of a n00b question: When you guys refer to Jump Cancelling, do I need to hit down then up to JC or will holding up during the normal suffice?

I would test it out but I’m afraid I’m at work so the best I can do from here is Theory X Fighter.
