On hit, they allow for her to combo a normal afterwards, giving you a greater damage output the more fireballs you have. They come out incredibly fast and are very safe on block, allowing Juri to use them effectively as both a zoning and a pressure tool. Depending on where you are on the screen, you can combo into a fireball, an EX Pinwheel, or even Ultra 2. On hit, the move will send the opponent into the air, allowing for a juggle. On block, it is fairly safe, -2, and can only be punished by certain moves. The store will hit opponents in front of her. It is possible to catch an opponent off guard with this, as well as bait out an anti-fireball move, which are often unsafe, cost meter, or both. The store of the fireball allows her to hold on to a fireball for as long as you hold the button used for the move. It can also hit Hugo standing from a distance. The hard kick version goes up, and can be used for anti-air purposes, though it will also hit standing opponents from up close.

It can be ducked under by every character in the game. The medium kick version is a fairly standard fireball, and will cancel out other fireballs that it hits. The light kick version goes low to the ground, and goes under other fireballs. To start with, there are three versions of this move, depending on which kick button you use. The key move in Juri's arsenal, her playstyle revolves heavily around the effective use of this move. The high version does 60+60=120 damage but its uses are mostly character specific. Mid version is good in fireball wars and also will hit people crouching, making it an amazing lockdown tool. All versions do a soft knockdown that is almost impossible to juggle after, but on block they leave Juri at a good frame advantage. The ex fireball doesn't store, you just get a fireball instantly. HK is good for controlling air space and allows for some juggles if it hits it also shuts down tall characters like Hugo and T Hawk.

MK can be ducked, but has extra hit/block advantage. The LK version goes under every other fireball, making it ideal for winning the fireball war, and it's +4 on block, +10 on hit. It goes a little over 3/4 screen, comes out as fast as a sonic boom, and moves slowly enough that you can follow it in. The fireball release is one of the best fireballs in the game. On hit you can juggle with a fireball, super, EX pinwheel, or U2 (in the corner). The store is generally safe on block (-2), can cancel out incoming fireballs, and has a pretty decent hitbox in front of her, so it can be used in footsies. The normal version of this move should really be broken up into the store and the release.
