I just think she’s a super strong character, top 5 at minimum.

we're not disagreeing on anything here then. this is the definition of S tier which is broken territory.

the fact that it is so difficult to figure out how to step it tells you how broken this is.

Because to me she represents alot of issues i have with Tekken 7:

- big focus on mixups and "unga" stuff.

- huge combo damage, carry that goes into a wall mixup that kills you.

- movement nerfs meaning you have less ways to deal with oppressive neutral mid pokes like ff1 and moves on other characters

- ridiculous wall stuff like a safe (!) long range (!) tracking due to the input (!!) mid wallbounce (!!!). why does this exist?

Julia hasn't really changed much from previous games. she's always been like this. it's just that Tekken 7 happened while she stayed (mostly) the same, which benefitted her quite greatly. Also all the other people in her tier have gotten consistent nerfs since s2 while she was mostly left untouched.
