The Spider's Lair - Juri

This isn’t fanservice enough, I can’t see Laura’s asshole through her thong. Mika art had it right.

I never minded having to hold buttons while fireball storing. That was just a thing with Juri. Guess it’s just a me thing.

Generally I don’t hold all 3 buttons except on a few occasions when I play (near) full screen keepaway… even then when I do hold all of them, I release one or two, and usually just get to store two at a time… I may try to do it again and hold all 3 buttons at some other time, but it’s not until I’m 90% sure they won’t try to get closer while playing keepaway. Anyways to hold all 3 of them I charge LK and MK with my thumb, while with HK I use my middle or ring finger so I can press the punch buttons with my index finger, I’ll give you that it’s still odd to play like this but with some practice you adjust to it quite well, though once again I usually only charge up to two projectiles at most during matches.

If I decide to store LK and HK, I hold LK with the half portion of my thumb which allows me to safely press her LP and MP with the upper half while I use the bottom half for MK… as for HK I use the middle finger, and index to press HP, this works greatly for me and it’s honestly a really practical thing despite how intricate it may sound.

Yeah I can do it too. Hold those buttons and play footsies and release them at the appropriate time while using her punch buttons and continuing to hold the kicks for a long period, then releasing them much later, and place well in a tournament amongst strong players. We can all halfass play with the buttons. Don’t you want more from her than that? You only have 5 fingers on your right hand so if you’re holding 3 buttons you are gimped right? We all know you’re letting buttons go prematurely to free up a finger to press a button.

If you want losing to be a you thing, sure. Do you get it? THERE’S NO PAYOFF, YOU ARE AT A DISADVANTAGE FOR NO REASON.

What’s with all these excuse and reasons for why people don’t do it? Yes I know you can get around it. Why gimp the character to get around it for no payoff? Why does no one want the character to just have a simpler execution that does not cause balance problems but raises a skill ceiling with no downside and offers more choices to the Juri player? I want an upside other than “well I get around it”

I agree it should be different. I didn’t like how you had to give up an option to have a fireball stored. At least they should have had it in reversed order in SFIV. LK was the most importaint fb to store but to store it you couldn’t throw/tech

Haven’t really found myself at a disadvantage. Least I don’t feel at a disadvantage. Holding all 3 at a time wasn’t even that good to begin with.

…I thought you only wanted an answer as to how I deal with her store… relax.

Just because I have ways around it doesn’t mean I want it to remain the same, and that’s because I’m fully aware that it’s a system with flaws… in this very thread I have talked more than once about a way to store and keep all kicks without holding any buttons (which in the end would not limit your options). I for one am in favor for them to change the holding button thing, but only if it means that she won’t lose her kick buttons.

I held l.k and m.k Fuhajins with my thumb and the h.k Fuhajin with my middle finger and my index finger was on the m.p button for a corner stunned opponent. (Had to be tall to take the h.k Fuhajin. Seth, Sagat, T.Hawk. Hugo, Zangief ect…)

And stop saying Juri will be charge! You’re making me feel wierd… :s

Oh, and I think Guile has been confirmed (kinda) as the next DLC character. A UK Capcom head said Guile should be next in an interview. So it looks like the order will be Alex, Guile, Balrog, Ibuki, Juri and Urien. Sad face…

But Juri and Urien being last might be an Illuminati saga story in early 2017 or somthing. I see a lot of people talking about this idea and it seems kinda likely.

I’m saying dumb shit. Just hoping Juri doesn’t have the button holding stuff cuz it prevented me as a pad player from using her in sf4 in comfortable fashion. I ended up using DECAPRE and we all know no one liked that, hehe. Without Juri I’m probably gonna end up either using optimized Karin combos, Ibuki zoning, or more Mika resets that people werent told to learn on srk and that will make people sad. So lets go Juri! Oh god that’s 4 girls. I’ve gone full waifu.

Eh, tbh I care more about her being confirmed for the first season than which month she’ll be released… the fact she is going to be included in the game this year is more than enough for me, I mean could you imagine if we had to wait for Season 2 to get her? I’d lose my mind if that were to happen…

Guile as the next character shouldn’t be too surprising anyway, he’s a classic in the franchise and with Nash’s return he will surely be very involved with the story.

It’s okay dude, sometimes we just lose it on the SRK boards… I can understand problems with handling Juri, she’s certainly not a character for everyone to get used to in SF4. She should have a fireball storing by all means but preferrably in a way that doesn’t require losing buttons to do so, now that I can agree with.

Not sure about Ibuki being a zoner but I’m looking forward to her as well, hopefully everything goes well with Juri for you though! More Juri players is always good.

It’s gonna be weird for this game once september clears and all 6 DLCs are done. Sitting for a few months with no character is gonna be bleah if they wait until january.

Once I have Juri they can wait 1000 years to release the next characters. I don’t care.

<is selfish.

Imo Juri is not meant to be played on pad, maybe a fightpad but you are being forced to change your grip to play her properly, that is a huge barrier for players to pick her seriously. Fortunately Im a fightstick player and holding buttons is not a problem at all, still in SF4 just for the fact you need to hold buttons to get decent damage puts you in disadvantage instantly. Honestly I dont want to hold buttons this time.

I played Juri in IV and SFxT on Pad and never had any problems.
Practice is everything you need for everything, I even learned the stupid piano inputs with pad.
And I use a DS4, and before I used the DS4 I used a DS3.

I’m not 100% convinced of the release order still. I think there’s a small chance that we’ll see them deviate on the third release. If we see Balrog released in May, though, I’ll be convinced.

I hope that’s not the release order but…

Guile is the next character then Juri. Calling it.

Or they could pull a 180 and put ibuki instead of guile.

I am afraid that by being released so late Juri is, once again, going to have less costumes than the other characters.

IIRC Balrog was already in a playable state around the time Alex was announced to be first. I doubt that Guile is next.

Balrog is probably next and the release order is shit.
