I, for one, welcome our new sexy overlord.
You mean Juri’s actually good? Sweet
Honestly people will say those things about any character. These are not people you should spend time thinking about.
I started picking her up today as soon as I got the game…wow she is such a simple character that can be godly!
I think I’ve heard some people on mics complain when I use her and I didn’t know whether she’s just new and people are adjusting to her or she’s really a simply good character. I had someone change from they main(Makoto) to E.Honda which strangely didn’t really pose a problem to Juri…WTF AWESOME!
Anyway, I guess it’s how you use her. I’m constantly spamming her fierce “counter” then dive kicking against fireballers. Her ultra 2 is an easy setup and she can cross up and do decent block strings/combos. Two other features I love is that she’s got Viper’s jump in/dive kick combination and her jump in fierce punch is a knockdown!
Crazy bitch is EPIC!
What kinda crap were they saying? 
I usually just use her command counter as they jump in…no real problems except when people catch on. Good advice Tiger Swiftly, I shall now utilize cr.HP as anti air.
Lol. No real AA. Thats a good one. Anyway. Yeah, she reminded me of Jhun Hoon from KOF also.
CR HP so huh? Thanks!
Everything will simmer down once people get used to the match-up against Juri. Right now this phase reminds me of the Ken rush in vanilla. Everyone and their mommas had to get used to seeing wake-up ex shoryukens ALL THE FUCKING TIME, but after a month or so, there was drastically less Kens (only the good ones remained) and drastically less losses to Ken. With time, people will realize that Juri isn’t as GDLK as everyone thinks and then the ones that are good will be respected for being good players - not ‘those guys that use that cheap bitch’.
I said the same thing to my boy Mello when I saw her fight. She’s a totally Jhun rip - didn’t Jhun even have a pinwheel as well?
Juri Han: Universally Pad and Stick friendly but stick recommended?
After using her for the whole day, I just realized in the last 3 or 4 trials that her “complicated” combos require the storing of both light and mid fireballs. Curiously enough, I use a PS3 pad mostly but do have a stick(just unwilling to use it because I still have bought better buttons for it yet) but that using a stick would be more efficient pulling off those later trials and hopefully in the future, more BnB combos.
What do the pros think about Juri on either method? I know that sticks are the norm around here but this is kinda like the case with Viper, you can kickass with her on a pad but it’s more logical to use a stick.
Common Tae Kwon Do move in real life made more exaggerated?
A stick would make it easier to do those last few trials. But I’m sure if you set up your buttons accordingly, you could do it just as easy. Personally, I play with a stick since the xbox 360 has a horrible pad and I don’t care enough to get a converter for the superior PS2 pad. But yea, it’s really whatever you want to do. If you’re trying to store fireballs, you’re going to possible have to map kicks to the shoulder buttons - and there is nothing wrong with that.

Everything will simmer down once we get a tier list based on Japanese tournaments and Juri isn’t S-Tier nor is she Dan-Tier (or Hakan-Tier as I like to call it now).
Agreed. She needs to control the flow of the match. And your situation depends on who you’re up against. Typically, I build bar with the fireballs until they decide to come to me. That, or against shotos, i like to use lp counter to dash in and punish.
In all honesty, if anyone should be crying, it would be me as a Juri user, lol.
She is not GDLK. She is not broken. If anything, she is anything but those things.
All her moves are punishable (including pinwheel people, so if you aren’t punishing it, that’s not our fault), so she’s not a safe aggressor.
Her wake-up game sucks. Only viable options take up an EX bar (EX pinwheel, which still loses out to a lot of moves, and EX counter)
As mentioned above, the only reason why people are complaining is because they don’t know the matchup, which is to be expected at this point. Once people figure it out, she’s going to have a hard time.
i agree with all of u saying that people just need to get used to the match up…with my experience with her i’ve notice that her moves are extreamly punishable especially if you botch up that air…kick…thing…and yes the pinwheel is very stoppable. another thing i’d like to say is please if ur gunna be a cheap ass and just ex pinwheel the whole time…pick someone else…but if not i’d like to thank u for making all those opponents think i’m about to use an ex pinwheel :o)
more like acrobatic TKD that serve no purpose IRL made AWSOME because its HER.
100% Agreed. If you’re pressured in a corner there’s a lot more than her EX pinwheel. You can do her Kasatushi attack. I’ve noticed when your opponent hits you as you do it (and you’re in the corner) she’ll jump up, which gets her out of tough spots quick. Her Shikusen is also nice to get out of tough spots. You may not hit them while you’re under pressure, but it gets her out of the situation. Also, her Crouching Fierce Punch is great. Even her jumping Heavy Punch knocks the opponent down right away.
So I agree, her ‘pressure’ game is pretty nice. When I play with her, I mainly focus on defense. I’ve loved her so far. I was looking for a character who was tough, but swift. I’ve mained El Fuerte (quick, but not strong enough) and Bison (strong, but not quick enough)…so Juri was the character that fit right in between.
