It’s a reset, to start a new combo and do even more damage. Problem is if the opponent guesses right you don’t get your reset combo. I’d always go for a otoshi but that reset thrown in there adds more to Sakura’s game. You can even add in a throw after that jumping short if it seems he’s good at blocking the reset. It might be best to space it so it’s a 50/50 with you not even knowing what side he’ll land on.
oh wow now i know. very nice videos too u make me wanna put my videos us as well. thanx for the post and the explanation
I’ve been uploading a bunch more videos. I don’t know if I’m exactly good, but, maybe you guys can get something out of them. Maybe not what to do? I dunno.

I’ll be updating it quite often with any match I felt I did well in, regardless if I win or not.
The ken master class video is the best. :wgrin:
GodSH0T - NICE MATCHES! Have any tips for the rest of us having trouble with the LK > tatsu -> LK-> ex tatsu combos? Any good way to practice this? Visual cues? maybe a magic song that beats in time with the links?
Go into practice mode and don’t leave until you can do it with your eyes closed.
Figured there wasn’t a magic bullet for this. Good to know i’m not wasting my hours in practice mode. THANK YOU. resumes practicing
Just wanted to say, that was an awesome video there godshot 
Nice vid, but why do people feel they need to put every videogame vid to bad rock music. street fighter is REALLY not a game that fits with rock. Normal sound wouldnt been better with the vid.
That sounds about right.
Just recently completed the
c.MK, lk tatsu, c.HP, lk tatsu, s.LK, EX tatsu, (insert move here)
the success rate up until the s.LK is roughly 60% =\ the s.LK is like 10% success rate sigh
any tips other then what you mentioned above for that light kick? you double tap it?
To make life easier for you, you probably want to shorten the combo by one tatsu. People don’t realize it sometimes, but an incorrectly spaced c.HP pushes back too far.
yeah I normally just went into it like so…
c.MK, lk tatsu, c.HP, ex tatsu (Move here)… or depending if there was alot of lag just c.MK, ex tatsu etc etc.
I just wanted to learn the extra 2 hits as thats alittle more damage, but I guess with my success rate on them, im better of not doing it until its up in the 85% range.
I’ve been single tapping them out fine. Somebody mentioned it earlier someplace but, practice the cr. HP link non-stop. It makes the LK link much easier.
The LK has to come out at the end of the tatsu animation right as she puts both feet back on the ground. The tatsu AFTER the LK.cr HP, must be inputted quicker, and immediately after connecting with the LK/FP.
After practicing all night, I got it(ok not allll night, but like 6 hours). Now… have any tips for setups?
As of today i’ve been throwing it out, even into a blocking opponent, to push them across the screen or tick throw.
I’ll have more up as I upload them tonight.

Local player Foomyjin plays Sakura in the SOVA ranbat. Some Chun and Balrog mixed in as well. Time for less online play.

thats nasty u got her english voice on O_O
I’ve heard her in Japanese every time since Alpha 2, decided to give New Voice a chance, and I ended up not hating it. After several hundred games or so, you get used to it.
nice games against ryu! Never thought of using her ex otoshi vs fireball spam.
