I finally fought a Menat! What I learned was: Don’t challenge that v-trigger lol. Act like you’re never going to jump, then jump like crazy. Gold league strats ftw. I tried to vskill through her orb toss, but my reactions are shit they only hit because she walked into them.
This was also my first time using VT1 in match since AE dropped. The first game I got caught with my pants down thinking I was using VT2 . I was like " uh… how do I use this again?" heh.
Using the instant air lk to get the stun or to end the round is nice. However, I remember early after her release in season 1, the instant jump lk into jump mk(while in VT1) was found to not be real. It looks like a tricky mixup on a training dummy, but in a real match the natural tendency for the opponent is to just walk forward as Juri goes over them. The opponent recovers way before the j.mk lands.
I hate that this is still a thing even with the truncated VT1. Apparently the world would end if Juri looped st.mk xx mk release four times. I know I should just chain st.mk xx st.hk, but it’s still a stupid restriction.
I tried her microwalk link to see if it was easier. My execution isn’t good, so I can’t really tell a difference myself. I was able to hit it 5 times in a row, but then again I missed a lot too.
Started playing ranked again. Gonna try and break these gold chains. Man, there are a lot of Guiles out here, though I think I’m becoming more patient.
Also, I really like this color for her story costume.
