Red Pantie Addict Anonymous: Sakura General Discussion!

Even my friends who’ve been known I play sak tease me with those sabre comments…until I take their fight money, haha!

Has there ever been such a spike in character popularity before? I mean, I thought it was common knowledge to know what the other characters could do so you would be able to counter better, but folks are acting like sakura was a DLC-type character they’ve never seen before.

We should pull the whole Spartacus thing when someone accuses use of biting…
“I AM sabre”
“no, I’m sabre”
“I’m sabre”
“no, im the real sabre”

that should keep the mix-up game going long after the fight.

Damn, I’m so jealous of all of you being called a Sabre wannabe. At least it means you guys showed off some major skills.

I showed the vid to my friend, who often plays against my Sak. All he said was: “Thank god you can’t do combos like that.”

Massive BURN. =_=

I’m sure someone’s mentioned this already, but they’re bloomers - not panties.

really?

Anyways, I have 5v5 regional tourney and I’m probably going to stick with her through it. Lately I’ve been having my doubts but I’m going to try my best I guess.

lol, just read this. Did someone seriously message you with those?

I’ve been neglecting Sakura lately for Dictator but this thread makes me want to practice again.

Yeah, he had the nerve to send hate mail to me after he d/ced and I’m glad I forgot his gamertag.

When I was fighting him with my Dictator, I teleported away and counter attacked every time he attempted a reset.

When I was fighting him with my Sakura, I got him with my own resets and he pulled the plug when I tatsu > dash > ultraed him.

I deleted his idiotic messages a long time ago. I feel sorry for anyone that had to fight a raging idiot like him.

On a side note, I’ve been sucking with Sakura lately but my Dictator and Abel are dominating people.

14 people viewing the Sakura forum all at one time. That’s a record for sure. hahaha.

I think those numbers it gives you are quite misleading. You never know how many people are like me and set it to not show when you’re online when they signed up which means they don’t get counted.

Of course the ratio of hidden to not hidden is probably the same for each character so Sakura still gets less love than most. It could be worse though - we could be Gen players… :rofl:

If Sakura was a real life person… I would fight all of you Sakura-lovers just to get to her…

Whoo hit 15k and G1 playing Sakura only.

I was just playing against a Ken called almanoway in a G2-2nd round thingy

Quite fun, the last game, got really close, then he did his super on me, but i blocked it so i had like, no life left, then I just threw him and won c:

Would have made a nice replay…instead of the replay he just put up q; hehe

Nevermind. I think I’m going to take it easy today, I’m all like (~ ?)~

Over a week without playing sakura, not sure how I feel about her/the game/my game atm.

On the flipside, I’ve used Sak more than anyone else this week and improved a lot. She’s just wayy too much fun to use

I’m getting really bored of people on G2 running away all the time because I’m on 12500GP.

online sucks :frowning:

i dont even bother with it anymore the vast majority of the people in CE mode are pretty bad.

I have to agree with Blue, I dont bother with ranked or CE at all. Player matches ftw and even those can be annoying. I dont mean the person I am playing, but the online part of it. Sucks when you are doing your links and out of no where comes the dragon punch because your link broke but thanks to delay you didnt know. Orrrrrrrrrrrr when you walk up to bait the random ultra or DP and it still hits you… :annoy:

I find fighting random people just as “entertaining” as the AI >.> If I’m lucky I’ll find someone who doesn’t play an overused character.

Friend matches are the most fun :slight_smile:

Seeing an Asian girl at McDonalds made me want to go home and play some SFIV. As Sakura. Yellow fever strikes again… lol It was interesting since my area isn’t very diverse. On a serious note:

Since the whole EVO/Saber thing I haven’t found many still who play Sakura. Maybe they went back to Ryu…

and my username helps to keep the Sak spirit alive throughout SRK! We must unite!

THEY CAN NEVER TAKE… OUR FREEDOM!

Honestly, I was playing around with the thought of switching character to someone easier but they’re just no fun compared to Sak.
What’s with SF and charge characters anyway? They’re like half the rooster.
1/2 charge
1/4 shoto
1/4 misc
= 1 SF4

^^^ lol half the rooster

I have also been experimenting with a new character, I still don’t find her as fun as Sakura, but its a hell of alot easier to win while using chun li, I will still always be a Sakura faithful, but at the same time at least now I wanna start getting into 3rd Strike lol anyone know if they ever plan on releasing 3s for the XBLarcade?
