10 Video Game Characters Fans OBSESSED Over (Commenter's Edition)

8. Juri - Street Fighter IV

Street Fighter II may have the greatest roster of any fighting game. However, Capcom's classic fighter has become a victim of its own success, since it's struggled to create anyone as iconic as Ryu, Guile, or Dhalsim since. (Does anyone remember a single character from Street Fighter III??)

But one combatant who's soared in popularity recently is Juri Han, who debuted in Super Street Fighter IV. Gamers have become so fanatical about this sadistic thrill-seeker, Juri is the only person introduced in SF IV that was brought back.

So, what's so special about her? Well, not only does Juri have a great design and a devilishly gleeful personality, she's also among the only female villains in the franchise.

But what really defines Juri is her astounding kicking attacks. Even though Chun-Li seemingly cornered the market on asskicking female characters, Juri's combos are more impressive. In fact, she has some of the coolest moves in Street Fighter history.

She may not be as recognisable as the old-school fighters like Ken or Blanka, but there's no question Juri is among the best combatants to come out of the franchise in 30 years.
