Quick Guide (WIP)

Yuri is a character with particularly good normals, but overall low shift synergy.

She is best played in point or 2nd position, to either build meter or get some use out of her 2B>2A>3B>2363214K combo that otherwise leads to nothing without the super.

Neutral

On range, either use charge 236P or approach with her good air normals (j.D & j.E).

To stop your opponent from approaching, use Yuri's jump up j.D & j.C - they are among the best air normals in the game.

To gain distance, use backdash cancelled into j.4B.

Offense

2A gives good frame advantage and can be used for pressure.

smalljump / jump D is slow but strong. The jumping version can cross up.

jump / smalljump C and smalljump (crossup) 4B can also be used to reset pressure and open up the opponent.

Whenever you use small / normal jump C or D, make sure to hold 1 to get an option select air throw.

You can also use walk up 2C>3B/3D hit confirm. If your opponent blocks, you can cancel into (charge) 236P.

Make sure to use her 63214K command grab occasionally, it is relatively fast if you are close.

Defense

2C has only 4F startup and is a good mash normal against smalljumps or just in general.

623A has invul during startup and is generally fine as a reversal.

5B(f) is a good poke that can be used to stop approaches, or end blockstrings with.

Special Attributes & Bugs

• Yuri has 3F more invulnerability on her front roll: 1-26 invul, 6F recovery.
• Yuri's back roll goes further than normal (187px instead of 160px)
• Yuri's 2363214K is potentially unsafe on hit when done very close to the corner, see here
• Bug: doing Yuri's 623C on the first frame of landing after a quick shift puts her below the ground. Performing any action that puts her above ground resets the bug. Source: Sensei Enrique
  

• Yuri's backdash is invul on the feet from F1.
