Overview
The original villain of Guilty Gear, based off of Tekkaman Blade. Justice has been radically altered from her previous iterations into a slow and plodding, but high damage zoning character.
Justice's optimal range varies depending on the opponent, aiming to keep out close range opponents with a field of projectiles and her huge range normals, but opting to stay in close quarters against other characters that can murder her from far away. Her combos are fairly easy and can deal significant damage even without meter, but Justice will generally have to work around the opponent's strengths and play off of whatever she can do in given situations.

Strategy
General Tactics
Justice players will have to be patient a lot. Justice will find herself in unfavorable positions quite often, outclassed at certain ranges based on the matchup. Characters like Axl, Venom, Dizzy, Faust, and Zappa, she'll want to force herself in as much as possible, opting for high/low mixups and big damage. Against close range characters like Kliff, Order-Sol, Sol, and Pot, she'll want them in the corner and out of the way whenever she can get it. Justice's backdash is important here, as its invincibility is the second highest in the game. Note that out of all the characters with a 5 guts rating, Justice has the best defense modifier, so you have a little bit of leeway to take a few hits, but of course the best course of action would be to never get hit at all.
Offense
Justice's biggest strength is her range, hitting targets for above average damage from half screen, knocking them down, and then going for a mixup or more zoning. 5K, 2S, and f.S all make for good pokes and harassment tools from far away, while 5H and 6H can net you big rewards if you throw them out occasionally. In the air, you have j.P and j.K for aerial footsies, and your other jumping normals for easy combo followup tools. You won't be getting your advantage very often in all likelihood, so take it for all it's worth when you do and press it.
6P makes for an amazing frame trap and reset tool, due to its upper body invincibility, hitboxes, and forced crouch. Out of 5P, 2P, and 2K, you'll have a small gap that will counter hit people trying to mash out. Mix it up with tick throws and backdashes (like 2P backdash) to either bait poke attempts or throw people terrified into blocking.
For movement, forward super jump is generally your go-to option. Combined with j.H, you'll be using this to get in a lot. Saperia Trance is amazing for how quickly it gets you across the stage, and the fact that it'll go through nearly everything on the way there. You might as well call it the hurt train.
Defense
When you find yourself cornered or outside of your optimal space, backdash, throw, Michael Blade and 5P will work well for you. Throw out Justice's jab to beat opponents trying to get in on you recklessly, as its speed and hitbox work wonders. As mentioned, Justice's backdash works incredibly well for avoiding things, as it's extremely invincible. Use nukes en masse to zone out rushdown characters and turn the game into a doujin bullet hell. Throws are an amazing, meterless reversal option for Justice because of her throw range. Tossing out Nuclear Blasts intelligently will keep an opponent from approaching from a particular angle for a short while. And of course, Michael Blade is an amazing reversal that can get you out of some really tight spots.
Oki and Meter
Nukes are your best friend for okizeme setups. When you score a knockdown, throw out one or two and move in if you need to press the advantage, or fill the screen with them if your goal is to keep them out. Your scary overheads will lead to decent damage if you move in on them and go for the mixup.
If you need meter, Justice's walk and whiffing Michael Swords builds tension like nobody's business. Throwing out tiger knee'd Michael Swords shrink's Justice's hitbox as well, avoiding lows in the process and keeping mostly anything out. If you see somebody rushing in afterwards, you can perform normals out of Michael Sword's aerial recovery pretty easily.
Basic Combos
Justice's combos are more or less the same regardless of whether you're in the corner or midscreen. Her aerial combo enders will push her back regardless of how close you are to the corner.
