Are you the worst Sakura Player? Vent here

long enough that i cant remember but short enough to be confident that it hasnt been very long.

like maybe a month ago…

And your eyes dont betray you, i dont use it. I tried to figure out all sorts of crap for about a hour and figured that i wont be able to do anything efficiently for awhile. And to think that stuff like this used to be harder.

one thing…

I can only seem to link a light tatsu to heavy punch if i land a cl.mp before the tatsu also… why is this?

cl mp or mk? cl mp xx tatsu > cr.hp you would be too far to link the cr hp. But if it’s cl mk, then it’s probably just easier for you to get in rhythm for the combo. I’m sure if you practice more you can get st hp xx tatsu > cr hp xx srk/ex tatsu easily. Plus it works on all of the cast (hp srk but not ex tatsu cancel).

I meant crouching mp my bad

Also thanks for the tip

#$%& this game and !#@% online play.

And just like that, I’m back playing… Can’t stay away <3

haha, I took a week long break.

First match back last night I got double perfected by oni. It was nothing but a series of completely, utterly incorrect decisions. There’s something magical about being so wrong about everything. At least I was able to beat the guy three times after that, and only lost once more.

hahahahahaha

sometimes i do feel the same way. But Sak is worthy of it :stuck_out_tongue:

I got HATE for losing. He said “All you mother f***n sakuras suck ass” He didn’t even get like a dominant win. He won by mashing ultra with gief; I got hit by it, I’m not complaining. I would have sent him some hate mail but I did the noble thing by avoiding the player.

Why is there so much hate on Sakuras not being as good as F***n Uryo all of a sudden?

nobody likes a weeaboo ;3

It happens man don’t worry about em…

Just went 14-0 with an Akuma and then 13-1 with a Cammy.

I really hate myself for not being able to change up my patterns, like for the last month, I’ve been telling myself, ok use mp shouken to end combos to get safejumps
and I just won’t do it.

I used to not be able to bait at all, now I just don’t do anything. I don’t pressure the opponent at all to “bait” and I do this every single time and I’m just too goddamn predictable. I bore myself watching replays but I just can’t force myself to do it

I also neutral jump a lot and jump in blockstrings when I get very frustrated

And I do some stupid things when I get frustrated and I get frustrated very fast, like wake up jump and mistiming cr.hp vs divekicks and just playing really stupid in general. Many times I considered dropping Sakura in the past but this time I think it’s for real.

Dont do it!

Haha, I’ve calmed down a bit since that post, I’ll keep her on but she really is crippling my usage of other characters, like I can’t AA DP at all lol, well I play like 90% online so meh

You’ll feel better when you do that challenge you posted!

wut challenge

Give it a go

Im gonna do it today also…

the challenge is to not plink?

You can plink or not, just mention in your post whether you used plink or not for a certain combo

I get really frustrated too sometimes when I play harder match ups like Akuma and Yun. But I just try as best as I can and keep learning from my mistakes.

Akuma especially, if they have a u2 stocked then say good bye option selects until he uses it.

I get destroyed by Cammy, Yang, and Yun for free
