Jun is...

Strengths

• Well-Rounded: All facets of Jun's play are excellent; whiff punishment, evasiveness, keepout, damage, and even safety are all well-above average, especially if she spends health. uf+1 and FC df+1 stand out as excellent fast punishes in this regard.
• Defense: Jun's defense stands out above the rest, being able to interrupt quickly with her counter-hit tools, parry with either her reversal or GEN stance (which uniquely parries both lows and throws), and being highly evasive with various crushing options.
• Tricky: Almost all of her strings have layered mixups that can counter various defensive measures (catching high duckers with a mid, going into either GEN or MIA, covering sidesteps with a different extension, etc.), making it nearly impossible to solidly defend against her.
• Heat: Jun has a great set of Heat Engagers, and she arguably benefits the most from entering Heat state, as all of her pillar attacks will heal her gray health instead of giving her gray health. She also has one of the fastest and farthest reaching Heat Smashes in the game (which also heals her gray health), and an enhanced low Heat Smash out of her GEN stance.

Weaknesses

• Standing Punishment: She cannot launch from standing at i15, though she still gets a decent mini-combo (and i14 launch from crouching makes up for it anyway).
