Juri was revealed to be a playable character in Street Fighter 6 on August 7, 2022. Her gameplay reveal trailer was unveiled alongside newcomer Kimberly's during the Street Fighter 5: Champion Edition finals at Evo 2022.
The sadistic world warrior first made a Street Fighter appearance on April 28, 2010 in Super Street Fighter 4, the second installment in the Street Fighter 4 series. Her massive popularity has secured her a spot in the two main entries that followed, as well as crossover titles such as Street Fighter X Tekken.
Capcom has made a conscious effort to create a new look for Juri that recaptures the essence of her original beloved design. Back is her baggy white and black pants, her short top, the large spider design on her torso, and new is her hairdo with sharp bangs and a pink strand of hair running through the front of it.
In Street Fighter 6, Juri continues to do what she enjoys most — live life as a sadistic thrill-seeker. With M. Bison out of the picture now and no one to get revenge on, she walks through life in a gloomy haze.
Juri also seems to have an affinity for social media and disconnecting from the world by spending time on her smartphone. Her victory animation sees her pull out a phone (that has a case that resembles her hair) and laugh as she scrolls through her feed.
The cornerstone of Juri's fighting style has always been her Fuhajin special move — a maneuver that sees her perform an upwards kick and store fireballs that can be released later, as well as other follow up attacks. Fuhajin returns in Street Fighter 6, but this time the low fireball and jumping axe kick that were attached to it previously are now standalone special moves, and Fuhajin storing allows Juri to chain these moves together.
Though it was absent in Street Fighter 5, Juri's Shiku-sen (flying dive kick) is back in Street Fighter 6. Not only does this airborne attack allow her to close the distance quickly, but when it hits, Juri can follow up with a series of kicks for more damage.
