Julia
Ideal Team Position: Either
Julia is a well-rounded character who can work well in either the point or anchor position. She has the tools for playing a solid neutral game as a point character, including pokes, counterpokes, and anti-airs. She also has the damage, corner carry, and okizeme to be an excellent anchor. Not only that, she has a variety of tools for applying offensive pressure and mixups and an invincible reversal. Both her solo combos and tag-in combos have good damage as well as corner carry, with her juggles being able to switch sides easily in order to corner the opponent from virtually any situation. This makes her a valuable partner for characters who benefit from having the opponent cornered. On the flip side, Julia's launcher gives one of the lowest launches in the game, which can hurt synergy with tag partners who may not be able to get their optimal combo when following it up.
