Juri has long been a character people roll their eyes at whenever a player sees fit to hover a cursor over her portrait on the character select screen.

If you’ve ever had the pleasure of playing a game like Virtua Fighter 5, you know that for what it lacks in flash it makes up for with an incredible amount of depth and technicality.

If we’re going to start throwing stones at this thing, it’s better to actually do so than discuss about how we’re aiming them for months on end.
