So last night I went to one of the bigger(?) Seattle area tournaments. The Salty Runback. It was pretty good to get back into the the tournament scene after not being in a tourney in about 4 months. You guys should check the stream out sometime in the future (http://justin.tv/teamkhaos), a lot of good Marvel action with a lot of randoms showing up and doing super well. The brackets were 40 something for AE and Marvel. MK9 and Tekken were present as well, but sadly not too many people were playing those games.

Also, it made me completely aware that I'm not anywhere near ready for EVO. Juri takes so much work to be super effective, but I'm liking the challenge of training with her.

Anyway, good times going 2 and out.

I use Juri because I needed to take a break from Blanka.

Juri provides a varied style of gameplay that's not really the best in any area, but good enough where she can be super effective in most matchups when played right. I still play her a bit like Blanka where I'm either super, super aggressive or I'm waiting for a window. Her move set allows you to play in either style.

I use the fireballs as zoning tools, traps and now a lot of combos! I'm still working on those though.... Her dive kick is much improved, still risky, but very very effective against the right players. Pinwheel is still bad, but still so good. She just feels a lot better overall.

I've never made top 8 with her to be honest, but I expect to do better once I start going to more tournaments and training sessions.
