“Downright brutal” is an exaggeration now, it’s really not that hard getting used to her store mechanic if you at least play with pads most of the time.
I guess I technically do use negative edge then. I use the LT all kicks button on pad. I forgot that when I do it though it only actives medium and heavy, and light is activated by me letting it go. For fuhajin raise into U2
Yeah the only real important negative edge as far as I know was Jafuten -> Ultra 2 in the corner, even then it’s honestly not hard on pad… it’s just that in this specific case it’s obligatory to take advantage of negative edge which is not a very common thing to practice in training, so it’s really awkward when you get to practice it for the first time.
It’s quite awkward at first, doing a combo then going to jafuten, then hold the 3 kick button, and as soon as she recovers you release the all kicks button and the one you were holding during jafuten all the same time… it seems like too much to do in less than a second but it’s practical in a real match if you get the timing right. Just gotta make sure you don’t press the all kicks button too early or else you get EX Fuhajin (which did happen to me quite sometimes…).
Also we seem to use the same button layout for our pads, sometimes I wonder if it really is the best one for Juri.
I don’t think any of this has been confirmed yet but honestly I’d expect both modes being available for them… they likely completed at good chunk of the DLC characters already before the game was released.
I doubt she will be next. As i said earlier,i think they will release Guile next.
PS : Don’t get me wrong guys. I want her to be next, but i doubt it. If she is second released i will purchase 3 x premium costume keys for her and mail them to 3 Juri fans on this forum !!
