yeah if that was true it would suck, but at this point I’m clawing to any shred of recognition that Juri needs help that Capcom could take notice of. Let’s be real Capcom put all the eggs in the e-sports basket with SFV so the pros opinions is valued and sadly Juri doesn’t really have a pro commuted to speaking in her favor.
BTW c.HP being fixed would be nice, having a CC anti air would mean more V-trigger and it would mean we’d get to test some juggle combos. Not enough on itself but then again I’ll take ANYTHING
As far as anti-airs go, she is pretty good, though sometimes inconsistent. Medium dp has a gap in it’s active frames rather early on, it’s the cause of these inconsistencies against better jump attacks. Her cr.hp is all around trash, even her VT version. Too inconsistent to even bother with. If i had to choose i would definitely want a better cr.hp aa, this is because of her CC, it would make jumping at her potentially a LOT more dangerous. Regarding aa jab, i wish it was not a thing in SFV, but it is and you can definitely still use Juri her st.lp against characters with weaker jump attacks, but it is also a liability in the long run.
Having said that, i don’t feel improving her anti-airs is high on the priority list at all though. As for Infiltration wanting her Counters back, i honestly don’t see the point. Infiltration just wants to be as slippery with Juri as you can be with Nash but with stronger anti-airs basically.
So can people understand that Infil’s Juri is whack as fuck yet. He’s a good player but when it comes to balance adjustments, he’s not the guy you want to talk to.
Juri’s AA is damn good, only issue is that MP.DP sometimes goes under deeper jump-ins. St.hp is a god-tier button that gives you the chance to store for free or LK release to get pressure on their landing, and st.lp still works a decent amount of the time to give cross-under mix-ups.
Being honest? I think his Juri is supbar. He tried to forcibly play her like Nash and it didn’t work. He didn’t learn max damage, frame traps, optimal timing or anything. Just basic spacing and tried to rely on his instincts to do the rest. And while I respect anyone trying to show their own style through a character, he also didn’t do the leg work to make use of all her best stuff. So I respect him for trying her at E-League, but both that and his recent tweets are simply making Juri look bad for all the wrong reasons. I think MP DP pre-patch was the most inconsistent piece of crap and I nearly damn quit Juri cause losing AAs with her was the final straw for me, but that got sorted out.
You understand it perfectly, his Juri is not that great.
He as a player has incredibly strong fundamentals though, which people then correlate to his ability as Juri rather than solely as a player. It’s like his Chun-Li in SFIV, his Chun was complete ass but his fundamentals were so good that he could compete with her.
Look the point is getting out there for Capcom to see that Juri needs love. If they end up buffing her c.HP though for real we should just give up hope, it means that the people at Capcom have no bloody clue on what’s wrong with her. Either way we would get some semblance of closure.
Gee I don’t even know if I’m making sense, Juri is taking a toll on me mentally and physically… and not in a good way
I was thinking the other day that if they changed the target combo to be an overhead instead of whiffing on crouching but still being a launcher it would open Juri’s options a lot. Animtion would need to change with the second hit looking like 3D (I mean down forward high kick) from Angel in KoF and it should have a 3 or 4 frame gap to be reacted to.
That would allow Juri to have a way to stop people from just crouch blocking.
@JusticeSoulTuna No problem! I also tweeted it to other people. I would suggest you tweet the video to the Ultra Chen TV guys separately (@ jchensor, @ ultradavid, @ sajam), asking for a RT to reach those people in the decision making side. I think they are more likely to take notice of you since I am a nobody but you are a content creator and your videos have been featured in the SRK frontpage. By the way, cool blog, I found some great artists there.
the magic is recharging
That’s Juri all right, inflicting suffering and enjoying it.
I see that Gamefaqs thread is more of what I’ve talked about; conflicting messages. The common themes are the opposing views: “Just git gud. People made Diamond/ Master with Juri, so why can’t you”. And: “Her tools aren’t great, and she has to work so much harder than other characters”. Both these views are valid, but neither should override the ultimate point; she needs help, just a little bit.
