Julia has been one of the most popular characters among the professional players of "Tekken 4". In 2013, "Complex" ranked Julia as the 18th best "Tekken" character, commenting: "Julia is the thinking man's video game crush – an intellectual with a naughty librarian look. Like her mother before her, Julia is that crunchy hippie girl on campus – you'd go to a protest rally just to get her number. Julia is the classic 'pitbull' character, who overwhelms her opponent with relentless punches and elbows. Armed with one of the most punishing command throws on the roster, she'll be breaking nerds' hearts for years to come." In an official poll by Namco, Julia was the 22nd most requested "Tekken" character to be added to the roster of "Tekken X Street Fighter", racking up 6.35% of votes; additional 4.21% votes were also cast on Jaycee, counted separately. Julia's absence from "Tekken 7" was met with a widespread disappointment; she was the second most missing character in the game according to a poll by fighting game community EventHubs.
