Wow, no, you are wrong. You cannot hit confirm a 1 hit shoryuken that’s complete bs. You can do dp -> fadc and react after the focus cancel, but no you cannot hit confirm the dp and focus cancel only if the dp is blocked. that is significantly harder than cr.mk hitconfirm shouken. in fact, it’s impossible. you are not fast enough to react to under 5 frames of animation
Also, you are wrong about makoto. You cannot crossup AE makoto and beat the new uppercut without a safejump. mp.shouken is nice but that’s not a safejump setup, that’s a manually timed jump that I guarantee you will fail often. id rather stick to hp.shouken which IS an actual setup (upforward -> cr.lk meaty) and have a reliable mixup
@YoungJRunner14
I never said sakura was a bad character, she’s mid tier. You guys talking about her being A-tier (implying that she is one of the best characters in the game) is ridiculous. Some of her matchups got better in AE, but many of her bad matchups stayed the same, and now she has new bad matchups (most of which are high tier characters).
Also, if you think I’m that bad, let me know and I’ll be happy to take you on and find out (I’ll use a secondary too if you dislike Sak vs Sak)
@Killer_Jigglypuff
No, i’m pretty sure you are wrong again, ex oroshi is hit-invincible starting from frame one and afaik, it doesn’t have any full invincibility frames
Must agree. This thread has come a long way since I made it hahaha.
Jawang ya really are kind of a negative dude, know it all dude. Be easy man, we all play the char and people like Skatan have done a lot for this community of sakura players. Cheers.
Jawang you have much more than 5f to cancel a blocked shoryu, do you know what hit/blockstop is? Confirming shoryus was common for Sagat in vanilla, it was better to not fadc on block sometimes if the character didn’t have good punishment so that you got to keep that easy access 600 dmg for later, since he had 1100 health anyway.
Don’t bother man, let him be and let him think he knows it all. No sense in beating a dead horse. Cheers.
That doesn’t change the fact that you can throw her out of an EX Oroshi, so you proving me “wrong” is semantics and trivial.
Sorry to sound like a noob but I don’t know what this is either. Can you please explain?
i’m with this guy…i don’t know either.
Just bringing this up again, any feedback on this? Would this thread be worth it? I have loads of free time over the summer since I’m off from school for the summer.
You guys are trying to talk intricately about matchups but don’t know basic game mechanics? Oh boy.

This has a lot of good to know stuff in it. I’d recommend checking it out. Cheers.
If you have so much time, maybe you can make a list of all possible safe jump setups for Sakura vs the entire cast. With some collaboration, you can probably get someone to make a youtube video out of it, which would go a long way toward promoting Sakura.
When an attack connects on hit/block the game “freezes” for a really short while, in games like BlazBlue and Guilty Gear this effect is more prominent than it is in sf4. This was probably designed to give each hit a greater effect of impact, but what it added non-intentionally was a window where you can confirm attacks easier. This is also the reason why sf4-style option selects work, since if an attack connects it will be out for longer than if it simply whiffs.
Some games don’t have this effect, I’m pretty sure MK9 doesn’t, which is one of the reasons it feels as if you’re not connecting when you’re landing hits in that game.
C’mon gimme some credit. I knew about it via how option selects work (or what Skatan just said, lol) but I didn’t think it actually had a name.
Also I didn’t say anything about Sakura’s matchups. Just trying to get Jawang to explain why Blanka ball spam doesn’t pwn Sakura.
I wasn’t directing it to you, you actually ask questions when you arent sure of something. A person shouldnt ever be afraid to ask a question when in doubt. Thats what these forums are for. Cheers.
i think he was talking to me=***(
Proof that Blanka can punish neutral jump, at quite the spacing too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VAHu3lbVD4&feature=player_embedded&t=8m18s
Also in the comments people are crying out that Blanka should use slide to punish obvious cr.jab spam. I dunno if it works or not, but I think it’s worth mentioning.
So glad to come back after exams and real life shit.
I missed you guys.
I hear ya man. Just finishing up my last week and getting my masters degree finally. Gotta prioritize. Welcome back -
I live 5 min from CEO, I’ll see ya there. Cheers.
Maybe I missed the memo, but what’s the deal with all the pony avatars?
The show’s actually quite good truth be told.
It’s written in such a way that grown ass men can actually appriciate the humor, as well as the target audience.
And with that being said, the irony of said grown ass men enjoying ponies is somewhat humerous all on its own.
I’d have probably given it a look by now with all the internets hubub if I actually had television service.
