[edit]Juri
[edit]Juri's character concept was created from a suggestion by Yoshinori Ono to introduce a female Korean character into the Street Fighter series, with the initially design selected from 400-500 ideas, amongst which included an old woman and an ice skater. The final concept was intended to be someone "bad and somewhat erotic",[1] with taekwondo selected as her martial art over suggestions such as a sports-themed style, due to its lack of representation in the series and feeling that a character that used primarily kicks could be interesting.[2] The developers debated which of the game's villains to align her with, M. Bison or Seth, before settling on the latter due to her being a new addition to the series. Juri's personality was proposed by Ono to be a strong angry character, and while laughing compared it to that of a protester.[1]
Juri's shirt was modeled after a spider, and left the sides of her breasts exposed at Ono's suggestion. A pink crystal was added as a replacement for her left eye after deciding to align her with Seth, in order to more closely tie her character to the organization. Initially, Juri was designed to be chubbier and cuter. Gradually the design was made slimmer, though the team noted at some point they had realized they had overdone it and reversed the changes slightly. Several designs were considered for her face, going through about seven versions before settling on her current appearance, though time constraints played a part in the decision.[1]
Attention was paid to taekwondo users in other fighting games in an attempt to keep the character fresh and original, implementing several actual techniques as a result but altering their appearance to make them different but recognizable, describing it as "her style". Her projectile attacks were modeled after the concept of using ki from one's surroundings, which the developers joking compared to Dragon Ball Z's Goku's "spirit bomb" attack.[2] In response to fan complaints that Juri seemed too similar to previous character Chun-Li, Capcom responded by stating the two were nothing alike, and added that it would be like comparing two other male characters to one another simply because they utilized punches.[3]
The Escapist described Juri as "jarring", praising Capcom for trying to take risks with the character design but at the same time questioning how well the character meshes with Street Fighter IV's main cast.[4]

Jessie
[edit]Anime Classics Zettai!: 100 Must-See Japanese Animation Masterpieces described her as quite often a "charming and endearing character", and that through revealing bits of herself over the course of the series she earned the audiences sympathy, where otherwise her antic would have driven viewers away from the character..[5]

[edit]The Star named Armstrong one of the ten reasons to watch Fullmetal Alchemist, noting his tendency to go bare-chested and the comedic results from those around him.[6]
