Juri is a versatile character. She has arguably the best fireball game within the entire game, good normals, great mobility, and one of the best ultra's in the game. This all comes with a price. She has poor reversals, low health and stun, and needs a fireball charge to get to big damage.
Overall, Juri is an exceptional character in Ultra Street Fighter IV. An incredibly strong footsies game, with several fantastic anti-air buttons and great pokes, combined with an extremely unique and effective method of zoning make her a character that can be quite annoying to deal with for much of the cast.
Juri's biggest flaw is a lack of damage; Juri will always have to work for a win. She can also have quite a bit of trouble dealing with excessive rushdown, especially from characters that can easily get around her zoning, as her reversal game is weaker than average, though the addition of delayed wakeup has helped her greatly in this area.
It should also be noted that Juri has a very high barrier of entry; in order to effectively play her, you must have good execution and be able to function without the use of multiple kick buttons, as she will frequently be holding at least one charge of a fireball.
