Big C.

I'd argue that she have one of the most iconic voices in gaming in general. It's a flawless blend of mischievous, evil, playful and sexy which is a good description the character to the T. It's just so perfect.

I guarantee you that if you were told to close your eyes and guess a random array of characters across gaming going by just their voice. You probably would miss most of SF the cast if they were to come up but you'll definitely get Juri on the first try.

I presume you mean her English voice.

Juri's voice reminds me of someone, but I can't remember who.

Yes. Her English voice. Her actress fucking nailed it.

In an interview, she based the voice of this famous person who's name is escaping me at the moment. She had similar voice manner of talking.

Oh, also, forgot. I say D.

Something being good doesn't make it iconic. I disagree when you say that people would instantly recognise Juri's voice because, in the grand scheme of things, she's a pretty obscure character. The people who would recognise her voice would be the kind of people who know the series, and they'd recognise plenty of other voices.

When I think of 30 years of Street Fighter, I don't think of Juri. She is so far down my list of considerations, in part because she's so new and such a gimmick, I hardly think of her at all.

I really have to disagree with the bolded part. She's one of the most popular characters in the series (which is impressive considering that she's new compared to a bunch of other characters) and Street Fighter itself is a huge series and possibly the most well known fighting game series around.

Initially, I said she have one of the most iconic voices in Street Fighters, and that I would argue that her voice is well known outside of the series. On that note, of course people who know the series would know her. Juri also have an advantage in that her voice have always been consistent unlike most (if not, all) of the other characters changed actors while she's had the same English actress in every single game she's appeared in.

Popular doesn't automatically mean iconic. If you ask someone who doesn't know the Street Fighter series to list some characters, they'd pick the likes of Ryu, Ken, Guile, M.Bison, maybe some others like Blanka or Sakura.

But as you said, Juri is very new and has only been in two games. She's just not iconic. Yet.

Nah, I'm positive some people would definitely pull her name. And she's been in more than two games. Again, with the same voice actress in every single game she's appeared in. The voice is definitely a huge fan favorite and the consistency of it definitely makes it more notable compared to someone like Ryu, the series' own lead.

Really? I thought it was 4 and 5. Or are you counting the updated versions like Super SFIV and Ultra SFIV?

As for the rest, I'm sure there are plenty of people who would recognise her, but I still maintain those would be fans of the series, and if you asked them to name certain characters by voice alone Juri wouldn't be a common pick simply due to how (relatively) obscure the character herself is.

I'm pretty sure it's just 4, 5, and SFxT.

I just wouldn't describe her as obscure. Someone like Skullmania is obscure.

That's why I said relatively. No one's going to name her before the likes of Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li, Guile, Bison, Dhalsim, Zangief, etc.

Also, checked the Wiki. She's been in SF4, SF5, SFxT, both Project X's, a Street Fighter 4 OVA and the UDON comics. So I'll admit, maybe she's had more exposure than I originally thought.

Yeah, hence why I disagree that no would drop her name. She's one of the most popular characters in the series right now and Street Fighters itself is a really popular series in gaming in general. Lots of casual fans or people who don't necessarily play the games but know of its existence know who she is at this point.

Cammy tier, maybe. REALLY doubt she's as popular as Chun-Li or Sakura so far.

I was trying to specify their general voice and not necessarily famous lines. You'll recognize most characters based off of their well known quotes.

But if you closed your eyes and listened to Ryu say, "Hello, how are you?," and had to guess who this character is, I doubt you'd recognize who he was. Not on the first go, at least. But if Juri said it, you'd know.

I was going with random clips of dialogue (not notable quotes from the games) with no clue that they're Street Fighter characters. Even with the latter, I would say she have an advantage because her voice is consistent and unique.

And I disagree with Sakura being more popular. I like Sakura but Juri has long exceeded her in popularity at this point.

Then yeah, definitely not. No one would pick Juri if they didn't know it was Street Fighter characters.

Like I said, there's another character with a very similar voice. I remember feeling something vaguely familiar when I first heard Juri, and I wish for the life of me I could remember who it was.

Again she's one of the most popular characters in an already huge series where basically knowing of its existence would give you plenty of exposure to her at this point. Are you sure no one would bring her up. Even outside hardcore fans of the series, she have a strong following.
