| | ''At one point, Jun was actually considered for the Japanese Olympic wrestling team. Unfortunately, she was disqualified after the International Olympic Committee found that she had a history of blatant disregard for official damage scaling regulations.'' |

| ''Aside from being an accomplished wrestler, Jun is also an astrophysicist. Her perfect synthesis of the two disciplines allows her to dunk people from outer space.'' | | If you've picked up AVG2 looking for a grappler, then girl, have you found one. While Jun quite dutifully fills the role that comes with the big damage command grab -- in her case, the mighty {{Tooltip|text=Kubota Buster|hovertext=641236P}} -- prospective grappler mains will find a surprisingly versatile character with excellent neutral thanks to a fantastic set of pokes and, most importantly, a full suite of mobility options that other grapplers would be forced to go without. That's not to say she doesn't suffer from other archetype-standard weaknesses, though. While she isn't lacking in mobility, her normals are on the slower side, putting her at a disadvantage in some scramble situations, and her combos, while powerful, are difficult to confirm, meaning that her damage will require lots of conditioning and confidence. But that's why you picked the grappler anyway, right? |
| | |
| Jun very quickly and easily makes herself known as AVG2's grappler. And while she does quite dutifully fulfill this role, players who pick up Jun will find a surprisingly versatile character with strong mobility and no shortage of great pokes to be using in neutral. While her combos are short and fairly stable, she suffers from a lack of ways to confirm them compared to other characters, which causes her to rely on conditioning the opponent more. In short, expect to play a grappler, but one that is more than capable of holding her own in footsies. | |

| | pros = | | | pros = |
| * High defense value | | * '''Great Neutral Presence:''' Unlike many characters in her archetype, Jun gets to have a powerful command grab and great buttons without having to pay the Grappler Mobility Tax, meaning she is more than capable of holding her own in footsies. |
| * Great neutral presence with solid pokes and movement options
| | * '''Explosive Damage:''' Jun has access to some of the highest damage in the game, thanks to stable confirms with {{Tooltip|text=Kubota Lariat|hovertext=[4]6HP}} and combos after her command throw, all of which can lead to over half the opponent's life gone if she chooses to cash out with {{Tooltip|text=Kubota Shuttle|hovertext=641236HK}}, a super which deals unscaled damage. |
| * Explosive damage with her command grab and 0F grab super | | * '''Hardy:''' Kubota sports one of the higest defense ratings in the game, which allows her to take more risks and make more mistakes than many other characters. |
| * Does not pay the grappler mobility tax | |
| | cons = | | | cons = |
| * Heavy normals are on the slow side, making her rely mostly on light normals | | * '''Weak To Projectiles:''' Perhaps par for the course, but relevant nonetheless. Jun lacks options to navigate around fireballs that don't involve taking to the skies, which means she can get punished for predictable air approaches more often than not. |
| * Low combo potential has her relying mostly on conditioning or meter expenditure to get damage | | * '''Predictable Footsies:''' While Jun has some fantastic poking normals, she has just as many normals that are dirt slow, giving them far fewer practical applications in neutral. This means that sharp opponents can have a much easier time scoping out specific buttons and scoring whiff punishes against Jun. |
| * Somewhat lacking in options against projectiles
| | * '''Inconsistent Reward:''' While Jun can cash out a clean hit for some incredible damage, her inability to consistently confirm combos from her pokes means that much of her damage will require a strong ability to condition your opponent into sitting still. |

| Jun's LP and LK guard cancels are some of the most devastating in the game for one strange reason: the damage of these GCs is dependent on the move being guard cancelled. This also applies to subsequent uses of the normal when chaining into itself. As an example, by guard cancelling Chiho's Super, it's possible to kill her in one combo just by repeatedly chaining st.LP into itself because of the damage boost. Because of this factor along, HP and HK guard cancels don't see a lot of use.

However, this knockdown only occurs on the early hitbox, so the move becomes far less rewarding when used at longer distances. Its safety is also very spacing-dependent, so you want to be judicious when throwing this move out in neutral. The side that Jun ends up on when scoring the knockdown is somewhat inconsistent, so make sure you learn how to properly confirm your positioning so you don't lose out on OTG damage.

| Jun generally wants to approach the neutral game carefully. You have a few usable mid-range options in footsies, primarily f+HP, st.HP, st.HK and Lariat. You'll have a hard time against fireballs, but if you have meter then you can very easily discourage people from throwing them with EX Earth Shaker. Outside of that, you largely want to be using aerial approaches, primarily with j.LP, as it's a very reliable air-to-air button that is freely chainable into any of Jun's heavy jump normals -- j.HK is best for long range, while j.d+HP is best up close.<br>
| |
| Once you've found your way in, the crux of your pressure starts with cr.LP. From here, you have a very strong tick into Kubota Buster. If the opponent tries to jump out, a chain into cr.HK will catch them, allowing you to score a combo with Lariat into an OTG follow-up. If you have two bars to spare, you can extend any of those punishes into Kubota Shuttle for monstrous damage.<br>
| |
| On defense, you'll largely be relying on attempts to call people out for gaps in pressure, since you don't have any particularly good abare options. However, you'll be able to get some mileage out of defensive command grab supers, and you'll definitely want to be using Kubota Sway against opponents who try to catch you with instant supers.

Jun is a grappler character with strong pokes and fairly good mobility, which she can use to find her way in and enforce highly damaging throw mixups.
