Shououken ??? - first two characters are used to write Sakura (name), last one means “fist” 
(middle character by itself means “cherry blossom”, which is “sakura” in Japanese of course :P)
But yeah, not sure if you’d call them flowcharts but they generally do a lot of random specials and jump a lot. I wish random specials worked for me 
I wish I didnt get hit with random specials all the time!
Ah, yeah… new dudes love the :hp: running dp even if it gets them killed. It’s about as big a siren’s call as Ken’s ZOMG FLAMING SRK. :lol:
Exactly…
I main Chun and when I play Sakura I zone her the heck out!
When I play Sakura I have to get past everyones zone.
Cool to know.
EDIT: I was just playing on PSN and one of my usual online friends quit after I beat him and blocked all communications with me. He deleted me as a friend too. Lol… People hate losing that much?
'cept Ken’s recovers quicker Even the LP Shou is easy to punish, unlike Ryu’s LP SRK.
That sucks, not much a “friend” huh. I’ve only removed one guy after his bullshitty lag tactics + turtling + counter picking pissed me off that much, wasn’t even a friend just some random guy from a forum (I never visit anymore) who I rarely played with anyways.
That’s exactly the thing, her moves are shoto at face value only. :lol: They definitely can’t be used the way a traditional shoto uses them. It’s a new guy rite-of-passage thing.
I’d say that’s the main strat against her actually. She really has to be near to get that Tatsu and reset magic running and all. Take that away from her and there’s not much else she can do.
Her damage does seem small at first, but imo it does tend to rack up in the hands of a competent dude who can keep applying the rush/pressure.
Exactly, the minute I get close enough to hit with something, it’s usually the match. If only Sakura’s fireball weren’t so whimpy (using an EX to push forward feels dirty).
Chun zoning is the hardest, stupid godlike dash :annoy: .
"Yes! I’m in!“
dash across the screen
"Dammit…”
I’m just bad at fighting games in general, so I didn’t exactly make things better by picking Sakura to main.
I just got done playing online for a while and bleh.
I feel like :(.
Frickin c.hp -> shenpu was turning into a damn technical skill, and that was after proving to myself that i magically forgot how to do c.mp->boom with guile.
:looney::looney: aye-yae-yae! :looney::looney:
I mean I know it’s online and all, but damn.
hey quit complaining and practice!! let’s turn this thread into “i’m the best sfiv player USING sakura!” I used to be the worst, now not so much. =P
I played a tourney last week and after all my Sakura practice… I had to switch to Chun Li the whole time to make sure I did well…
Winning with Sakura is soooo hard.
gotta a bunch of emo kids in this thread. its too hard. get the punk attitude, be the little man and kick some ass. it may be hard but its fun.
Or I’ll get Chun and kick some asses. Got 2nd place in my last tourney this past weekend, son. :rock:
Edit: Aiming for first from now on though… 2nd is still not good enough 
Man, see the one time I look in this thread and actually say something people wanna be like MAN THE FUCK UP. XD
