The Spider's Lair - Juri

another question, here around 5:52 minutes he goes for st.MK xx MK fuha, cr.MP xx LK fuha, cr.MP xx HK fuha MP DP

How does he do that? I can’t seem to hit the lk release and it’s not a counter hit.

is corner only and opponent needs to be crouching

It’s spacing specific. You gotta far enough away that the fireball hits slightly later, whilst not being out of range for the mk cancel.

Yeah, only on crouching

I reckon Juri would be good as a MvCi character.

Gentleman Thief is probably the reason I’m still playing juri, he makes her look hype as fuck

I find it kinda funny when you run into someone who has setups down, but lacks basic stuff. This Ibuki I fought knew how to use her Vtrigger, but his idea of neutral was using command dash and df+mk. One of my problems is I give people too much respect and I need to figure people out faster. The difference between Game 1 and the rest of the set, is night and day.

How do you guys train your cr.MK confirm? Dou you just set the dummy on random guard and try to react to the cr.MK being on hit/block?
How do you train your CH confirms? I get a lot of st.HP confirm and it would be great if I could get some reliable dmg from them

Train it in real matches, there isn’t any better way. You gotta be able to do it with a bit of stutter lag.

You also can’t learn to confirm it via blockstrings in training, you need to be able to do stuff like jab jab - cr.mk(hits them walking back) xx LP.Pinwheel.

I use random block in training mode for raw cr.MK confirms, but they are not easy. It’s easier when the player has a tell, like walking backwards after a block string like Froztey mentioned.

Counter hit confirms are a little easier because there are situations where counters hits show up naturally. For example, let’s say you block something that leaves the opponent at -2, like Chun Li’s overhead. If you both challenge after the overhead, you’re going to counter hit them. If you hit them in that situation and it’s not a counter hit, that means that they were straight up not blocking, which is less common than pressing buttons.

Also, if your opponent likes to push buttons on wake up, this is another place where you should be scouting out counter hits. This was something that was necessary for Juri during Season 1, because she had no medium > medium combo without a counter hit back then.

It’s no biggie if you don’t confirm all of your cr.mk’s, I highly doubt it’s possible to get a 100% success rate and the situation it gives isn’t all that special outside of confirming into HK.release in the corner and EX fuha.

I like to use it a lot because my reactions are all l’ve got because I’m lazy and don’t train, but if you have a solid neutral game it really isn’t that big of a deal. Learning how to properly use LK.release to its maximum potential and having St.mk buffer OS at 100% is way more important.

how do you properly use lk release? Most of the time it’s just sitting there for me. I have read and seen how it can be used but when I put it into practice I’m like…eh?

You use it to get in or to extend pressure mostly. You need to space in in a way that is plus so it allows you to move in and start applying pressure or if you do a string that spaces it correctly you can keep your pressure up.
Or you just throw it out in neutral when fighting Rog and the fucker will dash straight into it.

It’s everything to Juri.

Your pressure tool, your zoning tool, your approach tool.

Anything you want to do is usually accomplished via LK release.

What do you people want her second trigger to be like ?

Strong pressure tool,zoning one,dirty stuff…

Would a permanent trigger like Necalli fit her ?

When she activates V-Trigger she gains divekick?

Fuck if I know, but because we already have an install expect something that gives us a 1/2 time use tool. Or a single use thing a bit like Rashid.

Something that does a lot of stun.

It honestly will be nice to have a v-trigger you can use before you’re almost dead.

Whatever her first one isn’t lol. Something that’s actually worth 3 bars if it’s going to be a 3 bar or something that’s worth being a 2 bar if it’s 2 bar.
