Neutral Play (Mindset)

Punishing 214K follow-ups
- Many sequences can be whiffed by walking back
- It's also important to fuzzy a button while expecting the whiff
Watch out for 2MK
- 2MK has the longest range among moves that can be canceled at 8F
- Walking too far forward will get you hit, so stay aware in neutral
Watch out for forward step
- The forward step is excellent and covers round-start distance to throw range in an instant
Raw rush
- MK has a very strong hitbox and cannot be stopped at certain ranges
- When trying to stop rush, maintain a closer range
- If rushed from long range, using DI as a read on MK is also an option

Tensenrin

623LP
- Used as combo ender
623MP
- Anti-air special, startup 5F
623HP
- Anti-air special, startup 5F
623PP
- Juri's OD invincible move

Recommended Counter

On 623HP hit
- The situation is very favorable; even after in-place recovery, 2LP shimmy after Emergency Stop is possible
  - After Emergency Stop: Juri is at +3F
- Taking back-roll recovery can prevent throw from landing
- Juri can confirm your recovery, though it's difficult

There's no solid counter — it becomes a guessing game. As an option, you can take in-place recovery to bait Emergency Stop and then mash at max speed.

On 623PP hit
- Juri is +2F to +5F
- Throw doesn't land, so aiming for perfect parry against 2MK is an option

Fuhajin

214LK
- Juri -4F on block
214MK
- Juri -6F on block
214HK
- Juri -8F on block
214KK
- Juri -11F on block

Recommended Counter

At tip range the punish may not connect, so many Juri players will still use it recklessly. When you block it up close, get the punish.

2MK → 214MK
HP → 214HK

[Boosted]Saihasho

Juri's projectile that lets her attack alongside it.

236LK
- Requires consuming one Fuhajin stock to activate
236KK
- Requires consuming 2 Drive Gauge stocks

Recommended Counter

When activated, Juri often follows with rush or forward step. Walk back to eliminate the forward-step offense, then on rush confirm, counter with a knockdown move like 2HK.

[Boosted]Ankensatsu

236MK
- Juri -10F on block
- Can branch into various follow-up moves
236KK
- Juri -10F on block
- Can branch into various follow-up moves

Recommended Counter

236MK can branch into many moves, but none of the branches are reversal crushers. Always interrupt before the follow-up comes out.

[Boosted]Go Ohsatsu

236HK
- Can branch into various follow-up moves
236KK
- Can branch into various follow-up moves

Recommended Counter

To avoid the punish, Juri often branches from 236HK into 236LK. It's difficult, but try to perfect parry the 236LK. Note: when perfect parrying, 236LK has a projectile attribute, so the super-counter flash won't apply. Always buffer your follow-up move.

Shiku-sen / OD Shiku-sen

Juri's aerial movement change. On block: Juri is -3F to -6F disadvantage.

(forward jump)214K
(forward jump)214KK

Branching options:

(forward jump)214K→K (Shiren-sen)
(forward jump)214KK→K (OD Shiren-sen)

Recommended Counter

Neutral
- Getting the full -3F disadvantage is very difficult to confirm
- Don't forget to take punish with a 4F move

Reverse option
- Jump MP → (in air)214K can be used as a reversal
- If you do nothing, the Shiku-sen whiffs — punish the Jump MP on landing

Jumping Heavy Punch

A jumping attack with an extremely strong hitbox. When used as a reverse option on shimmy, it's nearly impossible to avoid — very strong.

You can try to anti-air it, but if you can't, walking under or backing away to whiff it are also valid answers.

Recommended Counter

Without an anti-air Shoryuken, don't force it — just guard
If jumped at during a shimmy, walk forward to whiff it
- After the whiff, punish the landing recovery
Parry may get whiffed, so pressing it is not advised

Standing Medium Punch

A normal that is +2F on block. Juri runs many sequences from here:

MP → 2MP → 214MK
- Reversal crusher
MP → LK → 214LK
- Reversal crusher
2MK → 214MK
- Gets reward on back-step
MP → MP
- Uses the +2 to crush fuzzy and build Drive Gauge
MP → walk throw
- After showing the above strings, she grabs when you go quiet
After rush MP on block: Main options are:
MP → 214MK
HP → 214HK
Throw

Recommended Counter

MP→2MP→214MK
- Walk back hard and look for a counter-hit against 214MK's whiff

MP→2MK→214MK
- Juri often rush-cancels into 214MK — DI is a valid read
After rush MP on block
- Back jump
  - Escapes throw; MP is a block string
  - Loses to HP and 2MK, but confirming is difficult; Juri may commit rush and you gain Drive Gauge advantage

Spider Fang Throw — Forward Throw

+20F after throw. Judo available via forward step. With forward step or raw rush, walk shimmy is not possible, so instant throw or OD invincible beats it.

Also, when blocking Juri's MP, placing 2MK can punish her back dash.

Recommended Counter

Mid-screen counter
- Back-roll recovery prevents oki — take back-roll recovery
- In-place recovery allows rush → MP to land
Judo counter
- OD invincible
  - Walk shimmy is blocked, so hit rate is high
- Fuzzy HP
  - At the timing you'd block Juri's MP, press 2MK in a fuzzy to punish her back-dash shimmy

The video records:

Forward step → MP
Forward step → back dash → HP
Forward step → neutral jump → jump HK

Shadow Kick Throw — Back Throw

+20F after back throw.

Recommended Counter

Mid-screen counter
- Back-roll recovery prevents oki — take back-roll recovery
