The Spider's Lair - Juri

So do I!

Man, i hope Juri is fun. I’m kinda in a character crisis over here…

Enjoying Cammy a bit but it just doesn’t cut it for me so far. Anyone in a similar spot ? :confused:

I’m comfortable with Chun until best girl comes out

I decided to try Ryu, but he’s a little slow for me. I am thinking of switching to Ken, Cammy or Karin.

I used to play old man Gouken as well , besides Juri. I tried Ryu because he has a parry, but he doesn’t cut it for me either.

Starting to enjoy Cammy bit more , but i still don’t find her as enjoyable as Juri. As i said earlier, i really hope they don’t mess up Juri gameplay wise .

As of now I’m playing sticking to Nash and Laura, there’s also Karin and Dhalsim but I’m not as experienced with them yet.

Do you guys plan buying DLC characters other than Juri with FM? I’ll definitely buy her, Alex and Guile with the FM I got, and maybe a couple of the story costumes.

It pretty much comes down to preference anyway, we can dislike some audio clips in one language that it can be enough to prefer the other in some cases.

I usually prefer japanese voices, as for english like it more on characters with an accent (Cammy, Birdie, Dhalsim, etc) for the most part, I did actually prefer all of the story mode cutscenes in english though.

The thing that drew me to Juri was that she’s a defensive character who suddenly goes on the attack - people get frustrated with her screen control and they do something stupid, eat a huge air to air j.mp juggle and then suddenly she’s rushing them down, divekicking, doing FSE combos, etc. Weirdly in this game so far Ken most fits that bill (or an aggressive Sim like Fchamp’s but I’m the worst Sim who ever Sim’d). I really hope she retains that aspect.

Juri being a zoner and an offensive character was what drew me to her. Then the more I player her and saw her in the Juri OVA I just fell in love with the character. Been playing Street Fighter since 93 with Chun-Li as my favourite but Juri is my absolute favourite now. Bravo, Capcom. Applause =)

I’ve been with Rashid and Gief. I want to try FANG but dat charge status…

I do english for everything. But I love jessica straus. It fits so well.

This is me to a T. I’ve been playing Rashid from beta until today but this morning I spent about a half hour in the lab with FANG (my first time ever playing a charge character) and was starting to get basic combos down. He seems to be a more apt analogue to Juri’s playstyle with an unconventional fireball for zoning but is still dangerous if he needs to get in and push buttons. He has a much stronger oki game than SFIV Juri, not that that’s saying much of anything.

Juri for April Capcom!

I would like her for April because that would coincide with my birthday :slight_smile:

August most likely imo. Juri mains should be used to the suffering by now anyway.

So I saw the following quote in a different thread and it has me worried about Juri…

From Tomoaki Ayano, Assistant Producer:
ā€œThe keyword in Street Fighter V when creating new characters or bringing back existing ones is ā€˜reinvention’. We want players to feel that these characters came out from scratch.

Whether these upcoming new characters announced will retain their style of execution (charge or motion), it’s best that we keep it a surprise down the line. We want to make players feel like they’re picking up these recurring characters like they’re brand new. From their redesigns, we want players to discover fresh new combos from them.ā€

I don’t want to feel like Juri is a brand new character! I want Juri damnit!

Zoning and rushdown with Feng Shui Engine is all I want from Juri gameplay wise.

Eye patch that she rips off when activating VT with her SFIV outfit with maybe 1 or 2 tweaks is what I want design wise.

To be fair, Ken is practically a brand new character in this game and still manages to feel like Ken.

She’ll be fine.

Like I said in the Alex thread, it’s mistake to want a character and expect them to play the same way they did before, this can only lead to disappointment at least from my point of view.

I wouldn’t look too deep into that quote though, whether they redesign characters or not, one thing that’s certain is that they still want to keep the character’s essence intact. She’s a rushdown and keepaway character, and at least rushdown is a prominent thing in the game so they will keep that for her I’m sure, keepaway will still be there but I’m not sure if it will be as strong as before. Also no way she becomes charge all of a sudden I’m pretty sure.

As far as redesigns go, I really doubt they would go the Nash redesign route with Juri, at its best I expect something more intermediate like an R.Mika or Birdie redesign in terms of changes to her moveset if they want to go for ā€œreinventionā€ for Juri.

Juri was a weird mix of styles anyway - she could play zoning, she could do rushdown, she sort of had a divekick, etc

I imagine her fireball will be less emphasised given how much more situational fireballs are in sf5, so my assumption is she will be a lot more aggro in this incarnation.
