Good news is they added a some new moves for certain characters, so maybe f.mp for juri in the future isn’t completely off the table.
The jab nerf isn’t even that bad I’m more disappointed that she didn’t get anything new. Meanwhile Cammy gets an air throw.
The jab nerf is ok, but she didnt get any buff and she was doing really bad online and tournament wise already imo she is dead.
Not going to lie, I was expecting some tweaks to her V-Trigger. As it stands, it’s a 3 bar V-Trigger that depletes almost immediately the moment you do anything, you can combo off of her overhead and cancelling into it usually does less damage than just continuing without it. It’s not entirely useless, but building 3 bars just for a “meh” V-Trigger when other 3 bar V-Triggers are great kind of-…definitely sucks.
We’re gonna just have to work that much harder then!
Think positively!
Come on, Lord-sama, you’ve gotta stop giving DevilJin access to your SRK account.
I laugh, because it’s better than crying.
[details=Spoiler]I WANT MORE JURI BUFFS CAPCOOOOOOOM
[/details]
I get you all want more buffs and I will still forever hate that you can throw her out of Ryodansatsu but over all s2 Juri… waaaay better than s1. Now they gave her light pinwheel throw invincibility. It is already fairly safe on block against some characters. I think it will change her wake up game a little bit in a good way.
On paper i like the change to mp dp, even at the cost of losing her lp aa. Doing deep anti airs especially against crossups is what i loved to do with Yun in USFIV and Cammy in SFV S1.
Also regarding her lp aa…she’ll most likely still have it tbh, though less reliable, have to figure out against which characters you can and cannot use it.
It’s honestly Capcom doing a bandaid and ignoring the real problem:
Jump attacks have large hurtboxes, intended normal aa’s are unreliable and unrewarding, normals are stubby and you’ll often be in crossup ranges becaue of it.
That’s why aa jabs are so effective.
These aren’t the full patch notes, right? There’s still hope for this terrible character, my friends…
The dp changes are good. The jab changes are in line with what I want for the game, but I will have to retrain myself now as I already abuse this too much. Shocking that was all they thought needed changing with her though.
If you have any hopes of placing in a tournament juri will not get you there maybe wait till 2018
People said that about Season 2 Mika and that didn’t go the way they thought.
Naw juri been bottom since day 1 tho @“DevilJin 01”
Fang and Alex have been in much worse situation for a while. Still really to this day.
Chun Li players might as well play Juri at this rate.
There’s no evidence support your claim @“DevilJin 01”
Eh, Juri was worse than Alex for all of season 1 and arguably Fang (hard to argue against her being worst character in S1).
Beginning of S2 she was slightly better than Alex and Fang but probably around Ryu level or a spot or 2 above that. Bottom 1/3rd to 1/4th of the cast for sure.
That doesn’t scream good to anyone who actually has been playing the game, she has fundamental flaws to her game that no human can consistently make up for at the highest level. Twelve wins some times at a high level in 3S … that doesn’t mean he is good. Sure you might beat someone you are much better than, but there are characters that do her game plan much better than her so there is literally no point in picking her over a character like Cammy or Karin at all. Lol, buffing Cammy but not buffing Juri and you think that makes sense.
I see that Jin still doing to most to make us think this character is fine lmao
I think she was better than Alex or Fang in Season 1 even, but that’s just my personal opinion. Her V Trigger fireballs traveled full screen which still created a stronger V Trigger than either of them had. Fang to this day still basically doesn’t have a V Trigger. You can really just call it a glorified VTC.
She’s definitely more capable and fundamentally sound than Twelve was in 3S. She has way too many solid things that Twelve didn’t have so there isn’t much comparison there. Twelve at most is comparable to Fang and Fang is still for the most part completely better than Twelve.
I mean you could go on with the you don’t have to play this because that character. You don’t have to play Ken when Laura and Rog do similar things but better. You don’t have to play Bison because Necalli and Urien…that can go on. The main thing is whether Juri is still capable even if someone is higher tiered than her and I would say so. Has a 3 frame low, 3 frame s.LP, a fireball that stops the opponent from playing normal footsie games once it’s out, one of the better V Skills that when charged stops movement from a lot of characters, a V trigger that can be cancelled off a fireball whiff and now has a frame 3 HP DP to stop certain frame traps and call outs in neutral that a lot of other characters don’t have.
The character has a lot of potential and with optimization should be up there with Bison at the minimum.
Also…are we actually discussing which piece of shit smells worse from season 1?
Because, spoiler alert, they’re still pieces of shit.
