this faq was made for beggining Julia players. because you can never stop
learning, this faq will only take you to a certain point. by no means does
this mean that there is a secret that will just enable you to do every throw,
every tenhit, and every move, it means you have to practice to get better.
"to learn a skill is one thing, but to practice to make it your own is
another"...by the way...congratulations to Alex on winning the third session
of the Tekken 3 tournament in the UK!!! long live Julia and all the faithful
Julia players out there!!!!!!!

someone suggested that i do this and it would be helpful to beginners so i
thought i would go ahead and do it.
key for where it hits-m=mid, h=high, l=low
note-the life bar per match is about 140 points of health, not 100. also, the
escape commands are for people looking for ways to get out of Julia's
throws. they should be done as fast as possible as soon as the throw
starts(the first few frames of animation). also, i apologize for not
having the damage that the normal moves inflict.

( 4. explanation and strategy for moves )
\-------------------------------------/
throws
------
general-throws are always useful...they take off good damage, leave the
opponent stunned on the ground for at least one more hit, are always good
against turtles who only block, and sure frustrate a human opponent. use them
wisely, however. be wary of the master that can break your throws. you must
mix them up.
specific
--------
1. 1+3 - this is a great throw, simple to do, and takes good damage, and lets
you get in another hit while they're grounded. Also when they get up
their back will be turned.
2. 2+4 - not as good a throw, not as much damage, and not quite as good
positioning for getting a couple more hits in. Also when they get up
their back will be turned.
3. d,D/B+1+3 -
4. (WC),d/b,d,D/B+1+2 -
5. D/F+1+2 - a good throw, cool looking and good damage.
6. QCB,f+2 - this one has great damage, and looks VERY cool, and takes 2
buttons to break...however it does take a little bit to get off,
so use it carefully.
7. 1+3_2+4(left) - this throw must be done when the opponents left side is
facing you. My advice? Whenever your opponents left side,
right side, or back is facing you, do side or back throw.
they are very simple to get off, and they provide great
damage...and look alot cooler than others! but if you are
playing a master who can break your thows they can see
which side you are doing the throw from so you should pry
only use back throws, since they are inescapable.
8. 1+3_2+4(right) - refer to number 7
9. 1+3_2+4(back) - refer to number 7
basic moves
-----------
general-these are some moves that only certain characters have(except for the
sweep+supercharger) and i find them very useful so i thought they were worth
mentioning.
specific
--------
1. (u/b_u_u/f)+4 - most useful basic move, and one of the best moves compared
to the special moves, this move has great priority
(priority means it will override your opponents attack, so
great priority would mean that it overrides most of your
opponents attacks), great range, is pretty quick to come
out, and sets up a nice juggle. but it does have some lag
time after it, so make sure you do it at the right times.
2. f,f,f+3 - all characters have this move, but all the women(i am pretty
sure of this) fall down while doing it, while the men stay
standing. it also is a move that stuns if blocked. my opinion is
that the men are more vulnerable than the women after this move.
most of the time this move hits.this can also be used as a way
get to the lie down position to set up a sweep.
3. (in lie down position)+3 - i have to check on this to make sure, but i
am pretty sure that there are juggling
possibilities after this if it hits so it
knocks the opponent over in a way to start a
juggle; i believe you have to be in a certain
liedown position-face down, feet towards
opponent. Julia has no way to get to this
position besides being knocked down in a
certain way so you have to learn to recognize
it. you usually end up in this position after
Hwaorang throws. you can also roll fowards or
backwards before you do this move. you should
also mix up this move with the rising midkick
(in lie down position-4) for unpredictability.
4. 1+2+3+4 - all characters have this move and it acts the same for all of
them. your character charges up for a brief moment(my advice to
you is to not use this move unless your opponent is pretty far
away or lying down, but make sure he isnt close to you) during
this time any move will be a counterhit, so what i use it for
most is the 1~2~1 major counter combo. the charge last for a few
seconds.
special moves
-------------
general-always learn all your moves, and use a great variety. especially good
aggainst human opponents who will learn your style if you only use a couple.
specific
--------
1. (1~1,1)_(d/f+1,1) - a good juggler...but not much else. i prefer the 1~1,1
2. 1~1,4,3 - the bow leg combos always look good and take nice damage, but
they aren't much for countering or anything else, but once one
part of the bow leg combo hits the rest is guaranteed, this goes
all of the bow leg combos.
3. d/f+1,4,3 - basically the same as number 2
4. F+1 - great juggle starter, lets you run in and start a nice juggle when
you block something and get pushed away.
5. f,f+1 - very quick, although not good damage or reach, besides how far you
hop(this move can be dash buffered). can be used to counter nicely
6. 1~2,(3_4) - nice little combo, but not to much damage, but it can confuse
an opponent. mix these up. if you use the 3 too much and then
use the 4 it will be ducked and you will pay.
7. 1+2 - very slow start, but very good damage and long reach, when you stun
on a counterhit with an elbow or something you should have enough
time to pull this off for very nice damage, on a counter it knocks a
long ways a way...you can usually get a stomp or shoulder ram in by
running in!
8. (WS+2)_(3~2) - pretty quick, useful when interrupting an opponents
tenstring after ducking a high hit, use these alot and mix
them up, also, if you connect with this as a counter, the
rest of the attack you choose will automatically connect!
plus if the first attack is blocked you can go mid or low
then if you use b,c,or d, you can go choose mid or low
again!! total agony for your opponent!
a. 2 - a quick finish...ok damage
b. 1,1 - a nice juggle start, but not as much as d. is
c. 1,4,3 - good damage, looks cool
d. 4,(N+4)_(d+4)_1 - used with 4,1 its a great juggle start...mix that up
with d+4, and if you must be careful about using N+4
9. (WS)+4 - not good damage...not good reach...only good thing about it is it
knocks your opponent down.
10. 2+3,1 - very nice damage and juggle start, but the third hit gets blocked
alot. this move is mainly useful in juggles.
11. (RN)_(WC,d/f)+1,2 - oh this is such a good move!! should be used at least
once a round, its so quick, its such nice damage!!!
12. (WC),d/f+2 - this is quick and nice for countering, because it stuns then
after it stuns you can do a double strike, you can also do
this while running.
13. (WC),d/f+4,3 - another bow leg short combo, this is kind of nice, use
this move if your opponent is just getting up to keep them
off their feet.
14. d/f+2,3_4_1 - in the d/f+2,1 combo, if the first hit connects, the
second hit is unblockable! this combo can be quite useful,
if they start blocking the first hit alot of times the 3
option will hit because they keep blocking high.
15. 1~2~1 - also another great move to use!! looks oh so cool and causes oh
so nice damage!! remember it only works on a major counter, but
should be used as often as possible!
16. 2~b - used to trick opponent, if they are slow to react go for a back
throw
17. F+1~2 - used to get in close like the rushing uppercut this causes better
damage but doesnt juggle, so dont use it quite so much as other
moves but it can be a confusing move to throw out once in a while
because they may think you are doing a rushing uppercut and
attack to soon and get countered.
18. 1+4,3 - easy way to get the bow leg, and nice damage but not much for
countering or anything else
19. d+4,4_(d+4)_1 - these are very useful, especially the d+4,1(juggles)
which should be used alot(be careful because if the
second hit is blocked you better be ready to escape a
throw or take some damage), mix that up with the d+4,d+4
and if you must use it be careful about using the d+4,4
20. 4,4,4_(d+4)_1 - NICE damage, especially the juggle starting one(4,4,1),
mix that up with the 4,4,d+4 , and if you must use it be
careful about using the 4,4,4(the reason i keep saying
this is because it gets ducked, countered, or reversed
so easily
21. 3+4 - not as good as the regular axis shifting sidestep if you ask me,
but it does go at a sharper angle
22. 3+4,4,4,4_(d+4)_1 - this pretty useful for getting out of the way and
getting a quick attack off, adjust strategy according
according to 20.
23. u/f+3+4 - very good damage, but not to useful, except against an opponent
that just wont get up(this move is used on grounded opponents
well)
24. d/f+3 - this move can be a useful quick attack, but not much else, so
you probably shouldnt use it very often
24. 2+3+4 - dont ask me why youd ever use this
25. f+1+4 - this is probably one of the best unblockables in the game, its
very quick, can be used at good range so they might have some
trouble getting in to you and interrupting the unblockable charge
up...oh i so love using this on Eddy mashers! an added bonus-it
juggles VERY high!!
26. (d/b)_(d)+(1+3)_(2+4) - for those of you who dont use this, you dont know
what youre missing. useful in defending against
tenstrings or other combos(like Jin's
u/f+4,4,4,4) because you basically stop the combo
completely and get the slight advantage(28 frames
of animation) to attack first...this does not
mean that they will not be able to block your
attack, but you get the choice of attack level...
basically, the advantage of suprise. remember,
this will only catch low moves, but this type of
reversal is final, it cannot be broken like a
regular mid+high reversal. also i think a hopkick
juggle is guaranteed after a successful low
attack cancel.
tenstrings
----------
general-can catch many inexperienced and button masher players who cannot
block, but used against masters who can reverse and counter them you will
just end up looking like a fool. mix em up so they dont know when those low
hits are coming. for Julia's ten hits, the first 2 hits(2,1) should be done
immediately after the other(2~1) almost in a fluid motion across the two
buttons. and remember, practice, practice, practice, because that is the only
way youll ever learn a tenstring.
specific
--------
211:2:33:3:4:4:1 - probably her worst tenstring...although the last 2 hits
are slow, the last hit juggles!
211:2:33:2:3:2:1 - probably her second best tenstring, i am pretty sure that
if the second to last hit connects, the last hit is
unblockable!(the last 2 hits look like the last 2 hits of
the 1~2~1 major counter combo)
211:2:33:2:1:4:3 - this is a very good 10 hit, probably her best, because it
has good speed and varying attack levels.
/-------------\
( 5. strategies )
\-------------/
against human opponents
-----------------------
the best strategy i can give you in this section is to always, ALWAYS, watch
your opponent for a couple rounds as he plays against the computer. learn his
style, as it is very likely not to change...this strategy will never fail
you, unless you are playing one of the BEST of tekken players and you are
totally outmatched. if you can, use throws and laugh as you use them as this
will take them off their game. get catlord's tekken phsycology 101 paper and
read it for proper trash talking. always learn how to block anything, as it
will leave them wide open after say, a ten hitter.
defensive situations
--------------------
when floored-your strategies here will differ according to how your opponent
thinks. if he expects you to roll backwards or fowards, he will
probably use a powerful mid. in this situation staying on the
ground perfectly still would probably be your best option, then
you can sweep them as they are recovering. if they expect you to
roll to the side then they will probably go for a low attack
with a good diameter. in this case you should probably do the
quick rise(see surfbard's faq for info on this) before he gets a
chance to hit you and block what he tries to hit you with. if he
expects you to stay still then you should probably roll to the
side. when floored, it is mainly anticipation, also you should
have noticed that almost all strategies for when you are floored
are defensive. also, if you are playing against a better player,
they will catch on to what you are doing to avoid him, such as
you are lying still he will start to use stuff that hits you
while you are still. you must now start rolling to the side.
when attacking-yes i know, you are saying "when attacking!? in the defensive
section!?!?" well, there is a defensive side to attacking in
that, you can be reversed, you must be ready to break
reversals. i know, this isnt quite beginner strategy, but i
thought i should mention it. for you above average players out
there i recommend buffering reversal breaks for as many moves
as you can, especially when you expect to be reversed, like
when you are using a string, or someone thats playing with
Paul and going reversal crazy.
when being thrown-learn all escapes for all throws. i think the hardest
thing about breaking throws is learning to recognize the
throw you are trying to break out of. if you can, try to
know when your opponent will try to throw you, and if he is
predictible enough, he will do the same throw a lot so make
sure you break it.
at different ranges-when in close to opponent be ready for anything. a throw
or high attack, which you can duck and retaliate, a mid
attack which you will either have to block or sidestep or
counter because of Julia's lack of a mid/high reversal or
attack cancel, or a low attack, which you can either
block or use the low attack cancel on, which would be the
better option, because a hopkick juggle is pretty much
guaranteed after a low attack cancel. when at medium to
long ranges you should probably not be on defense here at
all because of Julia's wide array of dashing attacks.
offensive situations
--------------------
staying on the attack-Julia is offensive! like most Tekken 3 characters, not
all, but most. this means you need to stay on the
at least 80% of the time, if not more!! to stay on the
attack, it takes learned skill, not something that
comes easy. you have to make your moves flow together so
that your opponent cannot anticipate what you do next
and you have to mix your moves up so you dont become
too predictible, when you are playing against reversal
characters, use elbows more often because they arent
reversable, and when playing against a character with
a mid/high attack cancel only some of you elbows can be
cancelled, whatever you do you want to avoid being put
on the defensive!!
countering-one of the hardest skills to learn, but also one of the skills
most worth learning! to counter an opponent you have to either hit
them when they are (a.) executing the move-an example would be
seeing Paul do an unblockable charge up, and hitting while he is
still in the unblockable charge up. doing something like this is
a major counter. (b.) finished with a move and recovering. such as
if Paul had just done a deathfist, and you hit him with a jab
before he can attack again or block your hit. this is a minor
counter. some of Julia's moves stun on a counter, so thats a
chance to some major damage! countering usually includes stuff
like interrupting, which is usually when an opponent is doing a
string and you just do a quick jab or attack to stop his momentum
and get yourself back on the offensive.
at different ranges-i shouldnt have to say BE ON THE ATTACK!
when opponent is floored-you should watch what he does. if he rolls back you
catch him with a dashing punch + elbow, a sweep into
uppercut will do the trick for this and also will do
the trick for if they are lying still, if they just
dont get up, you can opt for better damage with the
earthquake stomp. if they roll to the side then your
best bet would probably be a back leg sweep
(WC,d/f+4) with out the 3 on it at the end, because
that will miss. i think the d/f+3(face kick) might
work too, i have to check on this...whatever you do
dont do a d+4,1 if they are rolling to the side!! it
will miss completely, leaving you wide open!!
/-----------\
( 6. juggling )
\-----------/
juggling
--------
explanation-juggling is always an important part of any characters and
players arsenal. juggling is basically hitting an opponent with a move that
floats them and hitting them in mid air(moves that juggle are noted above,
and the unblockable heavens cannon also juggles).

( 7. hitting grounded people and keeping them off their feet(okizeme) )
\-------------------------------------------------------------------/
this is exactly what it sounds. hitting people on the ground. especially
useful against lei. the 3 moves that start with a sweep are good for this,
and d+4,1 can be done cheesily up to three times. if you are playing against
a novice or button masher, they will usually roll forwards or backwards(you
can use this on Gun Jack, Kuma, and Ogre2 even if they dont start rolling
away), so after you knock them too far away to hit with a d+4,1, go for a
heaven's cannon(f+1+4), and it will usually hit and cause massive damage,
AND JUGGLE!!dont try this on an experienced player.

( 8. strengths and weaknesses )
\---------------------------/
strengths
---------
alot of Julia's strength comes from her dashing attacks, such as the dashing
elbows, dashing punch and elbow, lunging palm, rushing uppercut, and
unblockable heaven's cannon. they are all very quick and useful, and most do
very decent damage. another strength comes from her long leg reach. remember,
Julia is mainly offensive(this doesnt mean you shouldnt become good on
defense too, because a strong offense and defense would be the best thing),
but she does find strength in her low attack cancel (d_db+1+3_2+4) and i am
pretty sure that a hopkick juggle is garunteed after you break their low
attack. its very important to use this move to switch the offensive side back
to you, where it belongs if you want to be good with Julia. Julia also gains
a lot of strength from her speed. also, Julia is great for Okizeme tactics,
probably one of the best in the game.
weaknesses
----------
her main drawback is her lack of power and power moves. what can i say? Power
is definitely important(even though i prefer speed and agility over power).
Julia's one real power move(1+2) is fairly slow. another drawback is Julia
is very hard to learn, you have to practice alot to be good with her, but
thats why youre reading this guide, isnt it? Julia is also very hard to
juggle with effectively, so thats more practice time. also her lack of a
mid/high attack cancel or reversal can be very annoying at some times.
