Pre-AE Sakura Video Critique/Exhibit

Nice use of low forward, Obey. I always try to get the final hit confirm with low fierce but I’m usually out of range so that’s somethin I’m gonna start to use more.

thanks guys. nice seeing you too zack_austin.

This tourney made me want to buy that monitor lol. Or at least stop playing online all together. Online sucks! >O

You both seemed to throw out unsafe moves when you panicked, try and cut that down a bit.

Tighten up your punishment, c.MK xx Heavy Shou you want to be able to throw that out when you want.

Seem to be quite good with your links, which is good. Don’t know what else to say really :stuck_out_tongue:

More vids up!

Sakura’s unite! haha

I was a casual Sakura player before, but zack_austin’s videos (We should play more, bro! Haha) made me wanna get serious with her XD.

As with everyone, I’m still in the process of getting to know her. I have a bunch of old vids of me playing her throughout G2/G1, and I would appreciate it if some of you guys could take a look and tell me what I’m doing wrong/what I SHOULD be doing/constructive criticism/etc. etc…I’m in G1 now and seeing as how all you see are Ryu/Sagat/Boxer/Zangief make it a hard knock life for this beezy ;_;

But yeah, would definitely appreciate some feedback! Thanks guys!

Just like to point out that the shouting of Timothy Lee is me. I am famous. (vid 1). End retarded post.

Just had a quick look at the first one, couple things I picked up:

  1. c.LK > c.LP , c.HK - now I’m 99% positive that if the c.LP hits then a c.MK will always be in range, so you should be doing the c.MK xx Shou on the end of that link combo instead of breaking it with a sweep attempt.

  2. j.HK > c.LP , throw - you landed that j.HK, the whole point of hit confirming link combos is to hit confirm :stuck_out_tongue: You could have set yourself up for some bigger damage and shenanigans.

Otherwise looks pretty good, odd botched up link attempt but that’s only natural.

Why do the turbo users always seem to be playing Dictator? Must be something about how his combos work or something … :rolleyes:

Good vids though dude. I liked your little FADC combo at the end of that blanka match :tup:

some vids just me VS C-mode
I want to advance game any help appreciated!

Heres one of mine:

i still need to edit the ones i got last night …

Stop throwing out random specials, especially Shououkens. I’d try to work on her basic link combos too.

Against Zangief it’s not really enough to go on. You seem to c.HK too much though but since it’s against Zangief it might not be that bad of an idea. Think you need to use s.HK more as well.

Looked like I was watching a Sakura with Ryu moveset match o.o;

only way of keeping him away … lol

Here are more of my captures:

Missed Ultra opportunity in the second video, I’m guessing you messed up the input :frowning:

I saw too many whiffed SRKs in your Akuma vid. Yes, it works against air fireballs, but it doesn’t mean that’s your only option. Dashing under or FADC’ing his fireballs can be even more rewarding as it can setup a combo if you’re close enough and pressures Akuma into the corner. That one time where you went under and punished him, you opted for the sweep instead. (another move you abused a lot)

You should also analyze your opponent more during the game. Learn what he likes to do and take it away. Ex: That Akuma loved to teleport after he’s knocked down…hmmmmm.

Last of all, take some time in training or trial mode and learn about Sakura’s combos. There isn’t really much to know to be a decent Sak (c.MK xx SRK and your EX tatsu combo of choice) and it will help you win games faster. :slight_smile:

I would write more since I’m bored but my lecture’s over. <.<

EDIT: I was referring to the third vid you posted. I didn’t know all three were Akuma vids. <.< Though the stuff I wrote still stands.

here’s a good one, sabre (sakura) vs. roch (akuma)

[media=youtube]mpYcKyFRKxQ&feature=related[/media]

notice how he uses c.lk, c.lp, s.lp, c.mk xx shouken instead of the regular BnB c.lk, c.lp, c.hp xx EX tatsu because the ex tatsu will whiff on akuma

Doesn’t whiff all the time.

You’re right, it WON’T whiff if you take out one of the inputs, but yeah, 99% of the time the standard BnB combo will whiff. (unless you’re SUPER close to Akuma, I guess? Don’t know, I usually just go straight into Shouken after connecting cr.HP)
