Introduction
Juri is a wild, rushdown character with few weaknesses. Juri's notable attributes are her great grounded mobility, strong guard cancels, and a solid combo game. She can effortlessly cancel her dash momentum and go for a special attack, poke, or throw. Due to the speed and priority of her special attacks, Juri can beat a lot of guard cancels after cancelling her pokes into a special attack. If Juri is pressured into a block string, she can counter with Somersault Kick, Rolling Slicer, or Galactic Cyclone because they are very powerful and consistent guard cancels. Lastly, Juri's combos are great. She has access to touch of deaths and long juggles that are similar to Rolf's and Kazuma's combos.
Juri only has two major weaknesses. She easily becomes predictable, and her highest potential requires advanced execution. At higher levels of play, Juri's basic approaches are obvious. Experienced players will recognize these approaches and counter accordingly. Without higher execution, Juri cannot mix up her approaches and maximize her damage; therefore, she must use cross ups and longer combos at higher levels of play. Although Juri has no problem incrementally dealing damage by winning small interactions, she wants to maximize as much damage as possible after landing a poke. If Juri spends more time fighting against an opponent, then that gives the opponent more opportunities to understand the Juri player's habits.
