Just bring back Maki or Roxy and I'm fine.
Juri never rings right for me, because she always feels like a cheaper version of a better design waiting to happen. Her "villainy" side feels more Super Sentai threatening than actually evil, her Edgy side feels like something outta Akame Ga Kill rather than... I don't know... Sephiroth-like? I think I've basically liked every TKD character in gaming more than her. So many things about her keep me from ever taking her seriously, it's amazing.
I actually think it's great for fighters to have designs many can feel divisive over, though. If every character appealed heavily to me, what about those that have completely conflicting taste from my own? Don't they deserve to fight me with someone they think is awesome too?
A design isn't bad because I don't like it; it's bad if it doesn't give it's intended audiences what they're looking for. To be able to appeal to so many different people within a single product, and in such a strong way, should be a triumph of character design as a whole.
Her overall? Easy enough on pad. I haven't focused much on all the V-Trigger combos, but everything else is fairly breezy. I don't think using a stick would make me use the EX versions of her soul orb throw any more; I mostly avoid those moves, to save meter for the CritArt.
Double tapping the buttons to launch VT Orbs, rather than making a web of hold / release stuff, seems to make it much easier and approachable. Though I do use both methods.
Pushing 2 face buttons with a thumb, or pushing R1 and a face button aren't hard for me. The trigger can be more so, but that's not needed with her anyway. I used to have a hard time pushing face and R1 at once, but that was conquered over time.

Honestly when it comes to fighting games I don't think people should like all the characters as long as 1 or 2 clicks with them then I feel the game did it's job. Like fighting game characters are an extension of how you want to express your strategies/personality and such in game this typically wont go past 2 or 3 at most for most people yet people will complain when they don't like an entire cast when in the end they would never really play any of them to begin with
Nuckledu, the current Capcom Cup champion and Anbu Punk, considered the best NA player right now both play on the Dual Shock 4

Am I the only one who cant stand the anime cat girl pose before super...?
Yep. And it's not like good lagless adapters are that expensive ($30) if you really prefer the PS1 or PS2 controller:

The artist who does these Rose + Menat ones is great. Makes me want to see how the two would interact officially.
What! Kolin is all class!
That's just a cover, though ~ her actual personality is pretty psychotic.

Another iconic street fighter character. Whew. Capcom can really nail it when they try huh.
As Gigguk once said, "You can't spell 'psychotic' without 'hot'.
.....Damn is this really worth my penis?
That said, Karin is legit classy.

Love how this little kid has the physic of a bodybuilder.
Also wouldnt be SFV without these giant mutant feet.
SF always had big hands & feet. As mentioned before, it's to make attacks easier to read.

Finally purchased the game, gonna earn 100Fm and buy her, even tho there's no way I can possibly learn her...
OFFTOPIC: I bought regular version of the game, why are all season 1 Chars are unlocked for me ? O_O

Did you buy it digitally? You may have gotten Season 1 alongside it.

I did, I didn't know digital comes with it automatically. Did they do it for promotion or something?
What happened to her knee?
While it may also serve that purpose, I think it's just the style they adopted ever since Bengus introduced it.
You may have accidentally gotten a bundle. Either way, you should now be able to get all of Season 2 with just Fight Money.

No, I very distinctly clicked regular SF. it was way too cheap for a bundle, even with a discount. we are talking 25% of what a typical triple aaa 60 bucks equivalent is here
The Bundle that comes with S1 has become the default version in the PSN Store.

I liked how SF2 had characters that looked like some eccentrics from the streets of what ever region they came from.
This is bad because they just put damn Cleopatra in the game.

put the clothes back on, I ain't tryin to see SFV anatomy.
Less is more in this game's case
Trust me, the mods get much worse.
Nope, I hate it too and it was clear they were going with the "Nyaaa~" theme at first, luckily they didn't go further so it's tolerable at least and it helps that Menat is actually an interesting character.

It probably helped that she's not wearing a lot to begin with.
I meant the nude mods, but that's just as crazy.

Bad people like you are why Capcom just retreads the same SF2 shit instead of letting their artists and musicians freestyle new shit.
