Here it is, Juri's signature install super, the Feng Shui Engine. In exchange for giving Juri amazing conversion ability and access to setups she normally would not, the skill floor goes way up to effectively use it. While this definitely is daunting at first, it becomes second nature once you get past the initial learning curve. The basics to learning FSE are: learning how to enter it, basic combo theory when activated, and where to spend stocks/drive.
Activation
Launchers
2HP > 214HK, 214214[P]... j214KK~K, 214214[P]... PC 5HK, 214214[P]...
214HK and OD Divekick allow Juri to juggle into the dash version of FSE, notated as 214214[P]. Sometimes, this link must be done so that it hits as low as possible, but in the corner, she can buffer the input as quickly as possible. From there, she has a few different options depending on her screen position and what she wants.
Outside of the corner, j214K is the main way to end aerial combos from FSE because it allows Juri to dash up and get pressure whereas ending with the followup will often leave her too far. The first route requires a slight delay when activating FSE so that the 5HK hits low enough to connect to 2HP, the others do not.
These are sample combos to show what they would look like in full. The "50/50 setup" will be explained in another section. Lastly, to clarify what "dl." is referring to: If a normal is pressed while Juri is rising, the routes will be different from pressing that same button when Juri is close to or at the apex of her jump.
Activating FSE directly from a normal is powerful thanks to Juri's already strong neutral game and the good scaling allowing strong follow-ups afterward. Naturally, this can cause spacing issues so a microwalk may be required if activating from further distances. Though if range is still an issue, the dash version is a serviceable alternative that sacrifices damage.
6MP and 5MK are usually interchangeable as 6MP has more range in exchange for about 100 or so damage. Once activating from footsies range, 6MP sees a lot more usage because only the weaker 2nd hit of 5MK will connect.
Sample routes off grounded activation and their purposes. It should be noted that very few routes require specific delays and spacings aside from the juggle routes. Treat them like a target combo, one after another.
In-Engine
Lights
5LP/5LK/2LP/2LK... 5LP/5LK/2LP/2LK > 6MP... PC 5LP, 2HP...
Light confirming in FSE is rather easy because of Juri's low pushback on lights allowing her to do multiple in a row. The simplest route for light confirms is X number of Lights > 5HP > 214MK (> 623HP in corner). In order to go into slower heavies, such as 5HK, we have to first cancel into 6MP. Although other mediums will work, 6MP simplifies spacing as it moves Juri forward.
Mediums
5MP, 2MP > 2MK... 5MK/2MK > 6MP... PC 5MP, 5HP...
Juri's already strong mediums in neutral become much safer as they become essentially DI-safe by buffering into other mediums. This is a theme in Feng Shui Engine. Furthermore, links from 5MP allow stronger routing because we can briefly ignore the cancel rules.
In FSE, heavies have unique properties when canceled into, such as 2HP's jump cancel. However, if a heavy is linked into or starts the string, it retains normal properties. For example, 2MP > 2HP allows you to jump cancel but DR~2MP, 2HP does not.

6MP and 5MK are usually interchangeable as 6MP has more range in exchange for about 100 or so damage. Once activating from footsies range, 6MP sees a lot more usage because only the 2nd hit of 5MK will connect, which will lower the damage.

Looping corner 50/50 setup. The j.HK should hit as low to the ground as possible, and the j.MP should be done at the apex of her jump. Immediate jump after landing from j.HK will let her meaty with 2LK or throw, whereas slightly delaying the jump will safejump instead.
