Are you the worst Sakura Player? Vent here

So excited about Super.

I’m going to a tourney in a little bit at my local Gamestop. Repping Sakura, even if I lose (it’s a double elimination).

It’s always an uphill battle with Sakura :frowning:

Im the worst sakura because I can’t land u2 :rofl:

still getting ex otoshi (and now ex shou) instead :frowning:

Might have to be more careful with those Ultra inputs :frowning: slow it down, don’t think there’s any particular rush to land Shinkuu Hadouken most of the time.

I just do Tengyo and be done with it, no timing necessary.

For me personally, I like to do regular Shinkuu after a EX-Tatsu and add the mind game that Shinkuu only goes forward until they eat one when they become jump-happy.

Shinku motion can be buffered up as ex shunpu is ending. Really, when it comes to comboing, take your time. You have so much time to hit it.

It feels like ex shunpu to U1 is much harder than in Vanilla; I actually have to slow it down and make sure i input properly.
Also, Saks last trial is a lot of fun. :slight_smile: The trials seem easier all round though (except everyone’s 24).

Eh, I’ve switched to U2 and I’m not looking back. It can punish way more things than U1 could due to the AA version.

I counter pick with my Ultra. If its a character with high stamina I go with U1. Other than that its U2.

I was feeling like the worst Sakura player when I was stuck on trial 23 for hours. I was not even hitting the first link consistently, and I only managed to cancel the srk into mk once.

I went and beat up some n00bs then went back to trial mode and the gaming gods blessed me with superhuman execution skills, I hit the combo on my second try. flag icon get!

NIce one mate. And great sig quote!

sigh asides from mistakening sakura’s hair (ie see red panties addict)… i seem to do most bnb (destin’s combo has just gotta wait) just fine in training mode, but once im online, i cant even execute a simple cr.HP -> s.Tatsu

I just played literally the number one ranked Sakura on XBL. He beat me, but barely. I literally couldn’t see his lifebar.

That’s awesome dude but you HAVE to let us see this match!

I’ll save the replay next time I fire up Supah.

Also, do you play better players (ranking-wise) the higher rank you get? I’m slowly climbing the charts with Sakura. I’m tryna get to your level Killer!

I dunno, it seems like it’s just randomly spitting out opponents for me to fight. I’m plowing my way through most of em though. Balrog still makes me wanna tear my hair out though, most poorly designed character ever. Mash jab when close dash punch in jab tick throw lather rinse repeat. It frustrates me to no end. :lol:

Doesn’t it give you the option to find opponents with more BP anymore?

It does, but I usually host because it seems to go faster.
