I'll explain a little of it but for more I demand noodpics, unless you're a man, in which case, no.

What is its structure, pholosophy, style, its focuses,
The juyo philosophy dictates that the best defense is a good offense. While that doesn't mean that the style forgoes defense in it's entirety, the style shares similarities to ataru in that it's aggressive and "wild", encouraging initiative and relentlessness. It's not a style designed for outlasting an opponent so much as decimating them.
The advantage to juyo is that it's unpredictability and wildness can surprise and overwhelm an opponent. It's weaknesses is that it's tiring and carries the risk of promoting dark side tendencies (the Jedi code states that there is no passion but peace whereas Juyo says **** that and encourages aggression.)
What type of characters, personality is needed to best utilize its full potential?
Someone with an aggressive and/or dominating personality would maximize the style's potential (exceptions aside).
How does it do vs other forms?
The fighter makes the style, not the other way around. However, realistically speaking a Juyo practitioner fighting someone utilizing a style that conserves energy would not have time on his side. The Juyo fighter would have to end the fight as quickly as possible due to how quickly he will expend energy in comparison.
There we go.
It should be noted in the archives that I totally made that shit up as I went, and while that doesn't discount it as untrue (as the content stated prior is based off of my actual knowledge about Star Wars), you would probably just be better off going to ****ing Wookiepedia or something. 😐
Juyo focuses almost exclusively on offense, and is extremely tiring on it's user. However, it is the one form which permits it's practitioner to fully embrace all of their dark sided emotions (fury, hate, anger, etc.) and employ them in battle. Juyo's main edge lies in the fact that it is a very chaotic and unpredictable form of combat (of which was further enhanced by Maul's dual-bladed saber.)
But in an 'all things being equal' type of setting, a master of Juyo would likely be trounced by masters of some of the other, better rounded, forms (Makashi, Ataru, and Vaapad for sure.)
