I don’t think Seth Killian has the authority to decide/tell who’s in and who’s not before the embargo is lifted, especially since they’ve said officialy that the roster hasn’t even been decided on yet.
It’s not seth’s job to troll thats mostly left to ono,what seth says decisively is about 90% accurate.
I know everyone here is a big fan of Juri and i respect that hell Twelve had a following to but the fact remains that the majority of both casual and hardcore have flat out rejected Juri.
It’s up to you if you want to take Seth’s word as law, but that means you should also agree with him that oiled up Hakan was one of the best characters in SSFIV.
Oiled up he was.
well as an avid Juri player I can say that since AE has come out is becoming painfully apparent that she is always going to be one of the many characters that gets shit on. Yeah she has great normals but she lacks a true get “off me” move.(SO HELP ME GOD IF ANYONE SAYS EX PINWHEEL I WILL KILL YOU MYSELF), the majority of her moves are unsafe on block. I’m just saying for juri to have some sort of staying power someone is going to have to take the reigns and take top 8 at a major to show her true potential. Because as of now in my opinion Juri is just another empty character slot.
Juri’s savign grace is that she is really popular. Where as Viper is a popular character out of playstyle, and move set…I think people LOVE juri’s character. I dunno, Everytime i ask why people like viper they talk about what she can do. Whenever people talk about why they play able, its what he can do. Whenever I ask people why they liek juri, they say something about her personality, her style.
“Shes sexy!”
“oh mad evil son”
“How can you not like someone who uses an overhead with her barefeet in such a seductive way?” - Me.
lol, I couldn’t help but to laugh at this one XD You know that this is my new sig, right?
Umm not sure who your talking to but i literally dont know anyone that likes her.
Everyone i talk to about her hates that her playstyle is pretty lame compared to most of the new cast and that Yun’s super is better then her ultra.
Thats the most popular complaint at least but i dont talk to people about the way something was animated as thats pretty unimportant really.
Thats exactly my point toddler. No one really is a big fan of her playstyle (although I love it…just wish she didnt have so many abnormalities), but everyone LOVES her character design, her personality. They like the character, hate the playstyle.
And I actually disagree. When I saw Super trailers I based on I wanted to play as on looks alone. Not what they could do, but the character design. Thats why I never touched Dudley, Guy, Thawk, Deejay. I didn’t like they’re design. But Cody, Ibuki, Juri…i was all about that shit.
Hakan was the exception. I played him because I liked his playstyle. heh, hate the design.
I digress. Having a connection with your character like that creates a bond. Even in a loss, you still want to play as the character. This might come off as weird as I am an 09’er, but I find playing juri even with the frustrating loses I go through I just work through it because I WANT to play this character because of the character.
I dunno, hope that made sense…
I second Kail. When I first started with this game I mained Chun-Li. In wanting to learn her I thought going through the arcade thing would be best. And when I got to the rival screen out came Juri talking about whipping school girls and school girl crushes and I thought “ooo, I’m going there!”. The character was different, and fun. Entertaining, if you will.
What you’re saying makes perfect sense. However, I do see what toddler means when it comes to most people not liking her in general (looks play style, etc) However, it seems like NY has a thing for Juri, lol (You, D_Dollars, Teh_Mayor, etc).
When it comes to me playing Juri, you’ve made some spot on assumptions as to why I like her. Although I’m not fond of Juri’s character, I really like how balanced she is and versatile she can be played. One of my biggest attractions to Juri is her ability to store fireballs, anti-airs and ability to control space.
I like her color scheme… black, white, purple, pink. You can tell they put a lot of effort into her character design. Her hair is terrible though, and personality wise she’s just an evil Mary Sue. Koreans don’t exactly like her, I have a Korean friend irl I should show her Juri and see what she thinks of her for the heck of it. She seems to be hit or miss, I play her because she’s fun and rewarding, but she can be frustrating at times. Also sometimes I wonder how many times I win because I actually outplayed my opponent or I won because my opponent didn’t know the Juri MU.
She should come back unless they skip to a sequel to Third Strike. Now that I played arcade on Chun, I think she defeats Juri and SIN if you listen to her ending, and in Third Strike she says Shadaloo was defeated… but some endings aren’t canon… and there really is no way to tell which is which so we’re just going to have to be in the dark and wait.
I can understand your sentiments exactly, this is how I pick characters as well.
I play Sakura because I like her as a character, even before I figured out her playstyle I had already decided that she is the one that I wanted to main.
Now, I do believe though that a character has to be fun to play for me to keep interested in them, and both Sakura and Juri are very fun to play for me.
For me a character is more than just something on the screen, I need to connect with the character on a personal level to even begin thinking of using them.
There is NO reason why she wouldn’t be included in future SF games. She is MUCH loved and has a massive fan-base. Since SF had no female villains pre-SSF4, she WILL be a staple of the series.
I dunno, didn’t Seth say Sentinel would not be in MVC3?
And I have heard people like James Chen and UltraDavid actually say good things about Juri in streams lately.
Seth (and Ono) cannot simply reveal characters on a whim. That’s bad for business, considering NDAs and such. Ono knows he does have leeway with his seniority, but still, it always seems he likes abusing people’s knowledge of that by straight-up messing with people.
Nothing wrong with mentioning how much you want a character, but expecting them to actually leak info is kind of silly.
Yeah he was… also Sagat was stronger, Ken had a new move and Fei Long could Ultra from a command throw.
well, i dig on Juri. I been tryin to figure out why so I can reply… I know i was first drawn to her design and her attitude in the game when i saw trailers…and I liked she was a “all kicks” character, cause I used to like Baek in Tekken.
and around the time Super came out, i was going thru a identity crisis character wise in SF4…I was an Akuma main and I was beginning to despise all things shoto.
but yet I wanted a fireball…and she has 3 (awesome!)
and the smarter I’ve started to get at the game and the more leveling up i do, I’m starting to appreciate my decision to run with Juri even more, she’s wierd but very complex and can be played a number of different ways…i actually dig on her playstyle. people like bnk, emp cow and vulcan have opened my mind to how she has so much potential with her mixups and whatnot
and also, I get off on the fact that she’s “low-tier” and no one wants to play with her cause she’s so hard to win with…i take pride in maining a character that is not so common. its like what Kail said earlier, even if I lose, I’m not that salty, cause I still WANT to main her. so i just learn, and keep it moving.
More request for her!
Oooo,do u wish into Juri? SF’s team had be afraid about into her… RT @JohnnyFive812:Great w/SFxTso far,need Juri to fight against Hworang
i have NO expectations to see Juri in any game again…but if she pops up in cross Tekken, I’ll shit a brick.
