And if I block your stupid shoryuken guess what happens? Alpha counter to Cable for the AHVB.
And what about Strider/Doom/Cable team. One wrong shoryuken when I teleport and its over… Sakura is :lame: let it go.
ok those are all good points and things that could happen to someone who is just learning Evil Sakura. They just found out she had a teleport and an AHVB rival the shinku hadoken:cool: , and they’re going crazy with them. In my opinion those people deserve to be punished. It’ll teach them a lesson about randomly throwing her moves out. But to the rest of us like reactor, white shadow and myself…we know better. So Cables on the team and theres an AC into AHVB possibility. The smart Evil Sakura player slows down…poke here and there with attacks but keep from leaving urself open. keep your supers and bide ur time. just attack when theres an opening…and an evil sakura player can wait forever becuz the more super she has the more she makes you pay for your mistake. 
striders teleport?:eek: wait till he starts to appear on the other side and then shinku hadoken…it’ll catch him b4 he hits the ground:evil: . and if he teleports high block or superjump d,db,b+k. alotta priority. The main thing to remember is not everyone who uses EvilSakura is doing it for show. for some of us she’s a main weapon and a serious threat. so her shinku hadoken has weaknesses? stay away from em! magnetos magnetic tempest has weaknesses so ya never use it without hyper grav. cables HVB has weaknesses so you only use AHVB. Sakura is semi-top tier in my book…
p.s.:regular sakura owns the team neway:lol: maybe she deserves to be in top tier 
Many good points. Just one thing. As soon as Strider teleports he can automadicly block. Im talken about the teleport in the air. And I dont think the shoryuken will go through Doom’s rocks. But I think shes decent at best. 2nd tier in my book.:rolleyes:
Yes her Shouoken will go through Doom’s rocks. A smart Sakura player wouldn’t do Shouoken out of a combo into a super.:o
I never said that…:o
^;)
Magneto is by far the easiest of the godtiers to take down using Sakura, so don’t give me that top tier over low tier crap. A good Sakura could easily take down a Magneto, even one using Psylocke as an assist. Even with tri-jumping, Sakura’s shoryuken can definitely handle Magneto.
Standard battle would be = Magneto dashes forward, calls out psylocke, c.lk and tries to launch, but if blocked a c.lk c.mk lk.Shoryuken XX Haru Ichiban easily takes care of that.
As someone already mentioned, you can’t just assume all Sakura players are dumbass scrubs.
KILL BILL IN THEATERS!!!
I concur.
:o
I just wanna see one of yor sakuras take down my Mags. i dont go by top low teir by the way. Just stop defending your charcter and face that when Mags is done with Sakura she will be licken his balls.
P.S. Im not a dumb Mags player either. I dont just send out psylock and c.lk,launch. I combo into it. Only I c.lk,c.hk,w/eI’m sure that you’re probably a good Magz player but not all Sakura’s act retarded and do random Shouokens, we’re not saying Sakura ownz Mags, but she doesn’t get raped. Especially is she has meter.:o
I kinda understand now cuz I just played her against my friends magz(which sux) and he had limided options. What im saying is theres a lot of ways either character can win. By the way,we got mixed up in the preveous posts. I thought it was shoryuken and it was Shouoken. My bad:D
Yep Shouoken.
Yes we have a believer!!!
And yes both characters have options, it’s just about who can take advantage of those options before the other.:evil:
Ryu has stronger attacks than ken
I like sakura but…
I dont see her being able to rush shit down without a air dash or tri jump, but i do like her infinite on sentinal, i mean all she can do is attack low and after that she just becomes predictable, unless u just start turtling your ass off…
But other than that I like her a lot…
I like sakura but…
The best thing you can do is not to compare Sakura to Magz or Storm, we all know that she doesn’t come close to their level. Focus more on improvising with her 2nd tier abilities. For instance, even though she cannot air dash her Senpu Kyaku can be used as a psuedo-AD to cross up. Her ground LK Senpu Kyaku can be used on people attempting on attacking low, etc… 
…
well i tried her out today at the arcade after training for a while(at home) made a couple of resets which came in handy, got the infinite on sentinal without much effort, and lost pretty bad to a magz player :bluu: …
But all in all she’s pretty good, but i thought that she had a gaurd break infinite on regular characters, but i dont understand how it works, and or keeps comboing or maybe its just a misunderstanding. I could have sworn white shadow said she had a regular universal infinite on the other characters, enlighten me please 
By the way I use Sakura/IM/Doom
…
Intresting, a variation of my team.
Anyways there is a universal infinite:
J.HK XX LK Senpu Kyaku (to guardbreak) THEN—> J.LP, J.LK, J.FP XX LK Senpu Kyaku repeat.
Also remember that because you’re using a special move in the infinite will never dizzy!!!:evil: So technically if you faced a team like Sent/Storm/Capcom, you could do the Sent only inf, then guardbreak Storm and do the universal inf, the gb again and finish off Capcom. If JWong was using this team
Also remember that with both infinites you can finish them off with a super (SHDK/Haru Ichiban) then DHC if you’re getting tired or feel likeyou’re about to mess up.
Strats
If they choose to take the hit (j.fk) does this GB still work??
Secondly do you have a hard time with facing mag with sakura?
(mag and Tronn to be slightly specific)
When I face sentinal I get it, but when I face cable or magneto im like what the f#@k do I do now.
By the way war machine rules!
:rolleyes:
Strats
Unfortuately I’ve never gotten it to work if they take the hit, but good news! You can cancel the J.FK ino LK Senpu Kyaku in SHDK!!!
I find Magz to be the 2nd easiest top tier to face mainly because he’s a “in your face” character and SHDK and Hadoken destroys his tri-jump attempts. :evil: Plus since I use Sak with IM AA and Sent G it get some protection. I haven’t faced any Mag/Yron teams recently to give you an honest answer.
Cable well apart from the Shouoken XX Haru Ichiban DHC into PC or Hail tactic I really can’t find any other strat to get an advantage. You just have to tough it out like any 2nd when they face Cable.
I’ll repost my detailed strats later.
SAKURA STRATS
Magz: Use Shinku Hadoken to counter any Tri-Jump attempt by Magz, this is actually one of the better fights for her. When without meter try to use her df HK launcher which starts up fast and has good priority and range and helps stop Tri-jumps which is Magz obvious rushdown too. Plus make sure the launcher will end in a damaging AC that Sakura is known for.
Storm: Surprisingly not as much as an uphill battle as you may think but definately not easy. Sakura’s FP Hadoken’s annoy her runaway attempts and SHDK hurts her tri-jump attempts just like Magz. But what makes this fight tough is that she outprioritizes you in every way!!! (That’s why I use Sakura/IM/Sent to counter her.) lukily most people will rush you down because you are using a low tier chracter like Sakura and underestimate you which give you a chance.
Sent: Her ABSOLUTE BEST MATCHUP!!! Shinku Hadouken stops his stomping. Mainly try to do the INF on him, that alone traps him even if it doesn’t hit. If he has an AA (which he always does) always pause for the AA to come out then continue. If you hit Sent with it don’t lets up even when it scales the INF will never dizzy because you are using a special move!!! Not to mention it will build 5 meters in no time which will help your teamates. Also when you feel tired from the INF do C.LK, C.MK, Super and DHC killing him off. Make sur you have an AA yourself too.
Cable/AA: I left the worst for last: Her worst matchup IM unless you use my team (stated why already.) Shouken eats through viperbeams and FPs but Cable’s runaway is too good. The only hope to win is to use Sent G to aid rushdown and hopes Cable trys to go on the offense once in a while and jump in so you can do SHDK and DHC. Use her air Senpu Kyaku as a psuedo air dash but use it wisely because you can’t block until it finishes. A hard matchup for her but also for everyone. If it’s Cable by himself it’s not that hard though just rushdown wisely.
1 more thing NEVER do Shouoken in the air unless in a combo because you can’t block until you reach the ground.
