Julia Chang Cheese Guide

[👑THE STORM QUEEN👑]

You all got some strategies for me? What some good Cheese Julia Stuff?

[Be_Proud (Heritage)]

I don't play as or against her a lot, but she's super oppressive to play as/against. From what I know, ff1 is the main pressure tool, magic 4 (*only if you have the execution*), and d,d/f1 into wind roll, 1,2 to wind roll, or ws2 into wind roll. Pepper in the occasional bow and arrow, then use mad-axes, or any part of her swift step options + grab once opponents' respect you. If close-range and expecting a duck, use d/f1 for a guaranteed d/f3, 1+2. Use G-Clef Cannon (1,1,1) if you think they'll mash a slower attack or finish the ff1 with 4 extension. Very easy to condition with this character.

Online you can even cheese with war drum (4~2,1); it is -16, but due to conditions of input delay, it sometimes will hit opponents or they won't punish it on time. If you think they'll go with a jab test, you can use qcf2 for a high crush, is a high, and safe -8 on block launcher (you can use u/f1 too, but it's a mid variation that is -12 on block). Also, Julia has a similar move like Law's d2,3 or Anna's d3,2, which is d4,2; it is a low counter-hit launcher that is only -14 on block. Use FC mix-up sparingly (bow and arrow or ws1). Then there's the bear trap cancel into FC mix-up as well. You can do another FC mix-up from SS2 (mid), or trick them with the SS4 (low), OR use ss3 which is another safe mid that wall-splats on hit. Hop kick when you're in a bind. She has some pretty nasty okizeme if you look some up.

For steppers, you can use moves like b4 or ff4 (+2 on block). She also has a safe mid i13 wall bouncer that has some considerable push-back. Very good move. Another note, if you can do f,f,f3 do so for pressure, if not you can stick with ff1 and ff3~1 for more pressure. Lastly, you can try to throw out the handstand kick (ss3+4), it's -21 but Julia moves a few distance away so it might not be as punishable to some characters. Amazingly good character with a lot of utility. You can probably find other set-ups or so to cheese with her if you scavenge through her move-list.

ff1, bow and arrow, and bear trap gaming

Can I ask you what I'm suppose to do after ff1? It leaves me right in front of them feeling a little exposed

Thanks! I'm gonna try all this on practice mode, she is surprisingly good, why does she have all these tools! She even has an air throw! A guy cheesed me out so bad with her! I was inspired to learn all her tools!

so many options
