walk backward after 2 jabs cr mk to hp shou. to be a little safer u can walk back cr lk into hp shou. when u input the hp shou hold down the hp button for a little while. it keeps the shou coming out when the lk doesnt hit the opponent
If they block a standing or crouching jab, walk forward a tiny bit (to feint tick throwing) and hit cr.FP xx lk tatsu. Beats crouch techs for free.
Thatās fn sweet! Any chance you would share the psd file?
yesss! iāve gotten better with sak. more cr hp AA, more punishes, reads and footsie work!
Itās funny I sometimes beat opponents who I have no business beating due to my lack of big combos just by being patient and getting in a few RH or c. Mk-Hshou and I never miss a chance to get the AA C.HPā¦ I feel its the only true GREAT thing Capcom gave us so might as well use it to the fullest.

And whatās that great thing you speak of exactly? Being able to win without combos?
If they got beat by being impatient versus your patient strategy (which is effective), then Iād see you had ALL the business to beat them.
Thatās how I used to win before I learned how to combo. Itās a perfectly legit strategy but youāre really limited by opponents entirely willing to chew clock with you.
Learning those big combos is for sure top on my to do listā¦ just wish I had more time to do soā¦

I made it to Rank A with Sakura today. Yay!
15k BP 3752 PP. I had hoped to reach 4k PP by the time I got to rank A but I guess I just didnāt improve enough. Oh well. Before today my highest PP was 3682 or something so I guess I improved a little bit at least.
Stupid noobs always taking away my PP. Lost to a 800 PP gief who got two full meter ultras on me. One of them he grabbed me out of ex tatsu lol.
Iām uploading a crappy vid of me playing my last two matches pushing me over to rank A.
Iām the 2nd European Sakura player on PSN to reach rank A. kazurk7 aka purelordx on youtube was the first Sakura to reach rank A in Europe on PSN.
I feel like Iām on of the scrubbiest rank A players out there already. heh.
Sorry but the art was signed especially to me on the bottom left hand corner!
Good shit making it up there Flowers.
I only do ranked when Iām in the mood for quick and dirty fights when none of my PSN friends are on. I almost reached 4K PP though, but I played a really bad night that knocked me down about 700 points. -_-
Thanks man. Iāve been slowly leveling up Sakura since SSF4 came out on Ranked.
I made a thread on my main forum with the jist of how I leveled up with Sakura on Street Fighter if anybody is interested in reading.
I Finally Made Rank A With Sakura! Congratulate Me Here Please!
Oh by the way I had tonnes of bad nights on ranked. Ranked Mode put me through every emotion known to man! :shake:
Seriously, that arcade stick is something marvelous. Well done.
Sooo, just lately, after I beat people down in my endless room with Sakura. People want to pull out their pocket Sakura against me. I donāt what it is, but this kind of annoys me in two respects- one is that to me it kind of implies disrespect for my play, and second, I really hate this mirror. Iām familiar with this phenomena in other fighters, but this has just started to happen to me recently in SSF4.
I just hope maybe theyāre trying to improve their Sakura or something, and itās always cool to see other Sakura mains, but damn.
In all honesty, I feel kinda bad that Iām the only Sakura player in my area. Everyone else either uses Boxer, Rufus, or Ryuā¦ Sakura mains are such a rarity in actual tournaments, and in some instances, online. Oh well, gotta train harder until I feel like I reached my peak potential with Sakura, which will be a long way, then Iāll think about switching mains.
I think thereās two in central Florida (not including myself), but I never see them at tournaments. If eiSH still plays her, than then one of the eastās best Sakuras is about 3-4 hours away (and coming to Winterfest on the 18th). Iām not too mad about being pretty much the only Sakura at events, rather be that than the 5th Dictator in a 10 man bracket (that was such a stupid ranbatā¦).
Somebody picked Sakura for a button check once. I was pretty excited to see another Sakura in a tournament. He then switched to Boxer.
if Iām lucky Uryo wins the Beat by Contest qualifier and comes to Switzerland, then I can mirror him 
Thereās a few here in GA. I think there were four of us in a tourney once. Well, 3 of them since sheās my secondary, although I pretty much use her in tournies and get consistent top 5 with her.
i gotta say that me and you are in the same area really. weāre only about a 30 min drive away from one another
