The Spider's Lair - Juri

If capcom does a good job to make her solid, I think she will remain top 1-3 in popularity.

I hope Capcom realise this and make Juri more important to the story.

I have a feeling she’ll be top 5 :smiley:

I watched the video, it’s not really an afro, it’s her hair getting undone when fighting.

Problem with that is that Capcom could take it as if people are not interested in her, and then we all lose.

Pretty sure she would have longer hair then that.

I agree

@ Aries , yea i get ya.

But then again, you hardly saw Dhalsim in SF4 and he was not that voted in the polls either, yet he made the initial roster.

I mainly want her to be used rarely online because i personally dislike using characters that are too popular, but hey that’s just me ĀÆ_(惄)_/ĀÆ

Still mad surprised she was so voted in the popularity polls ,while u hardly saw her online. I guess people DO like her but can’t play her ? oO

Whenever I see the letters ā€˜DLC’ I imedietly think of Juri…

The wait is driving me CRAZY :s

I dont know why you surprised, Juri she is extremly popular top 2 in SF4 and SFxT just behind Ryu, in SF4 a lot of people like her but she was very hard to use and tbh she was kind of weak, she lack of the things needed to be reliable at high level (no 3 frame cr.lk/lp, bad standing HP/HK, bad reversal, bad back dash, slow FA, U2 almost useless, low stun and no gimmicks).
I really hope they make her more solid this time I dont mind playing characters that are too popular as long as they are good and fun to play, Im enjoing Karin a lot.

Juri wasn’t an easy character to learn or use. She was good though. But why use her when you had cammy, E.Ryu, and yun? Easy mode combo into easy RF combos. There was no point.

That’s because that particular image was based on the concept costume

I’d say Dhalsim was always going to be favored because he is one of the main 8 characters from SF2, and is a unique archetype. i don’t know where that puts Blanka or Honda though.

Aww this hurts me as a Cammy main :frowning:

Juri was never easy to use, but she was rewarding. She was basicly the perfect sub for Cammy and in SFxT both covered each others weakpoints just perfect.
I don’t like the way the put her into the SF universe, but I gained a interest on her over time.

No, not her feet.

I have a question for you guys, if Capcom said Juri would get her own stage, what kind of stage do you think they would give her?

I have a few ideas…

S.I.N in Ruins.

The Han Estate (had this idea before the Kanzuki Estate stage was revealed)

Juri’s childhood Taekwondo Academy

Destroyed Amusement Park

Can’t think of any more than that…

Yeah…but it’s true. How many cammy’s did you see get easy combo access and other stuff through TKCS’s? I saw alot. BUT it wasn’t al her fault. The engine had it’s fair share of roles in it.

What do you mean how they put her in the universe? being evil? psycho? strong? gameplay? I’m a little lost on that one.

And the whole feet thing. Just thinking of that makes me wanna puke.

Something in chaos and destroyed.

Oh I see what you mean. The big strengh of SFIV, divekick your way trough any situation, Yun was even worse in this.

No, I would have been ok if she just had knocked Chun out and a bounch of Random Shadaloo Soldiers, but my Dolls? My Lovely Dolls?
I was over a year seriously Pis***, they finaly bring my Dolls back,just for that.
In the end it helped Cammys Character developemeant.
I still don’t like it, that they put her into the SF universe at this way.
Her character feels just so empty.
She fights for nothing, she fights for noone, she has no family,no friends, no real reason to fight.
She just fights for the sake of hurting others.
In SFIV she tries to make Bison and Seth destroy each other, doesn’t work. Face Cammy in the tournament again, doesn’t win.

SFIV lead into nowhere for her. So far it seems that she even lost the FSE.
I highly doubt that she’s with Bison.

Ah well, her gameplay was refreshing. Changing between offence and defence on the fly, traditionel offensiv projektile,good mobility,decent damage, ok Mixups, I never learned to use U1 correct, so I run most of the time U2.

I started to like the Char over time, but I still could punch Capcom for the way they introduced her.

I understand your feelings bro, but Juri is not empty she start fighting for revange she and her family was kidnapped and murdered by Shadaloo but somehow she manage to scape just with a left eye gravely wounded. She is an anti-hero who fight evil with evil and she loves fighting strong people, similar to Ryu.

I dont remember to have seen Cammy facing Juri in a tournament, where did you get that from? to be honest man cannon wise Cammy have no chances at all.

He’s talking about the rival match she had with Juri in arcade mode, which honestly can’t be confirmed canon just yet considering rival matches at least for the most part are what if scenarios AFAIK. I would advice waiting for the story mode and see if either of them reference such a match happening, only then we can be certain if it’s canon or not.

Anyone else think the order of DLC characters may not be too obvious? I mean, Alex is coming first, yet he is nowhere to be shown in the story modes or even referenced by any characters… I’d bet on Guile being the second one, as for Balrog he may be the third one… if we just go to the more obvious route I guess Juri will be either the 4th or 5th, but I just feel like they can pull off different order of releases to catch us off guard though I still think Urien will be last, any thoughts?

You didn’t even read the comics did you?

Juri’s dad was an investigator or attorney(one of the two) helping in bringing down shadaloo. Her dad was a key part in making it happen. On the way to the airport, their car was hit in a drive by of Bison’s boys. Juri’s mom got shot in the head and died. The driver died. Juri caught a bullet with her eye, and was left for dead in the car. Her dad was taken hostage for information and then murdered on video.

Juri didn’t escape from captivity with a fucked up eye. She barely survived blood loss and a car crash and woke up in a hospital later on.

To be honest I havent read the comics, but I know they are not cannon, I only know what Chun li read to Cammy and Guile in the report C.Viper gave her wich is cannon.

Combos off of anti-air and air-to-air. That’s all I really want. I used to get rage mail telling me I was a scrub who could only win with anti air damage. Then I’d write back ā€œdon’t jump?ā€ and then they’d call me very bad names. Pleaaaaaaase.

More productively, though:

Would be cool to see a toolkit approach for all of her specials in the same way that her fireball and her teleport/counter already were. Each covered a different section of the screen. For example:

Divekick:
lk brings you down very tight angle. Doesn’t do much for getting in but you can bait a dp with it and then CC, same as how a lot of Mikas use splash.
mk travels on a fairly standard divekick angle, can be made pretty safe hitting near the feet. doesn’t lead to much but allows her to pressure.
hk hits higher, deals more damage, and leads to combos. but is very unsafe on block.
ex wallbounces for ex-only combos like before. could travel on a trajectory somewhere between mk and hk.

And then pinwheel could be given a similar treatment. Maybe lk has a good hitbox for stuffing crossups, mk is the combo extender and hk gives a lot of corner carry or something. Would really like to see juri be the character whose specials are chosen based on the situation instead of just always going into whatever version combos for the most damage.
