Red Pantie Addict Anonymous: Sakura General Discussion!

I want to play as M. Bisakura, without the creepy face.

looks like ill be entering a tournament today :tup:

You must tell us how it goes.

so i won my first match against a ryu 2-0. second match was against a rufus, i won 2-0. Third was against a bison, i lost 2-0 :frowning:

Then I went up against a ryu in losers, I lost 2-1.

=/

I attempted to break my artist’s block by drawing Sakura tightening her headband.

So far, its not going so well… I can’t get her arms, head, and eyes right. :wasted:

I was planning to show it to you guys but it doesn’t look like it will happen any time soon.

Looks like a tied for 9th out of 25 people in the tourney yesterday.

I had the chance to upload another replay today.

But I didn’t bother, it wasn’t exactly the best looking game, and I played against a real turtley sagat, more than your average. The only time he ever moved forwards was when he dashed after an FA to ultra me.

He didn’t even fight to get out of a corner, that’s how much he moved :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m suprised I even got that far, I’ve had quite a bad day, in terms of playing. I only had like 4 or so matches, but even after a successful FA, I keep failing to dash, or I’ll sweep instead of c.hp -> tatsu etc. And I keep messing up resets by jumping away afterwards and all sorts.

grats dude, I haven’t had it in me yet to go sign up for one

Congrats to Obey. Although it’s not a high place, I still consider it a solid run. I hadn’t had a tourney run since a 3S & Tekken 5 local one about 3 years ago, but I did pretty similar in them. Too bad the local scene in north NJ is non-existent, and I don’t quite have the time or resources to go to NY (not only that, that’s only the arcade version that’s in Chinatown).

Is it just me, or is it natural for me as a Sak player to not be excited about being close to G-1? I’m about 500 points away from G2-A, but to me, my “goal” was to get to G2-C. Weird, I know, but its just that when I look at uploads of G-1 finals and hearing about the joint from other sources, it just seems like a more glorified G-2 with a MUCH longer grind to it. To be honest, I only play championship mode now to just keep my senses up. Of course, I win my share of tourneys and runners-up, so I guess eventually I’ll get to it, but I sorta don’t want to deal with the BS that runs there. Also, I just don’t want to do normal player matches. It seems guys want to quit immediately after winning/losing to Sak. I dunno, just needed to get some thoughts out of my head.

I’ve found myself doing that “smack yourself to gain adrenaline(?)”-thing Sak does in her opening sometimes before the match with her, if the last one went badly… :confused:

My thinking is, people do it in sports, so it’s gotta be good for something.

I am quite new to SF4 and I am currently learning the game.There are 2 characters that I enjoy using and its Blanka and Sakura.Learning two characters is too much for me so I want to main one of the two.Who shall I pick?I prefer using Sakura but I am better whit Blanka.

Also what are Sakura AA option other then c.HP,and when should i use shouken as a AA?

Play sakura, she’s awesome. Blanka is a little dirty bastard child and only homosexuals use him… You’re not a homosexual are you?
disclaimer

Spoiler

just jokes, not homophobia

mp shouoken can hit dhalsim’s limbs if hes jumping back and throwing them at that downward angle and dash forward, hp shouoken is good at getting under akuma’s air fireballs, if the akuma sucks and isn’t aiming them properly, but outside of that, I don’t think her shouoken is that great at AA… Stick to c.HP, it’s awesome. :nunchuck:

I should play Sakura,she wait more fun then Blanka IMO.It just that some character give me one hell of a hard time whit Sakura,so i play whit Blanka to counter this.I am talking about E.Honda,Gen and Guile mainly,any tip againt them?Weirdly,I prefer Sakura againt Sagat(It so fun to harrast them whit c.MK near them so then can Tiger Shot).

But the biggest problem is that I don’t event know how the hell Sakura is supposed to be play.I know Guile is defense while Sim is keep away,but Saku?

I say you kind of have to play around with her a little and see what works for you. Some people play her as a hardcore rushdown char, some are totally defensive, some are just all over and dont follow any pattern. She is far from a flow chart char and that is why I love her so much. I play her from a reaction standpoint and try to user her speed as my main offense! But I also probably user her hadukens more than any other Sakura player. Offline this works for me, but online with delay and lag, I get crushed a lot.

But to go with what Cookie said, yeah dont use Blanka, he is a homosexual and masturbates to rabbits

esl?

got to 2.5k gp in 3 days…PC it’s way faster to find games and most if not all are really good connections. some of my timing is off but it could just be me…but it’s great mann…

glad to hear it!

Man, I still <3 sak but I need some inspiration.

We are going to get a lot of bandwagon sak players now I get the feeling…

yeah…

Then everyone will catch on to her shenanigans and learn to reversal :frowning: :frowning: :frowning:

Nah, once they realise she takes a fair bit of work they’ll go back to Ryu :stuck_out_tongue:

Luckily for me I live in UK and doubtful that many people would have seen Evo here :stuck_out_tongue:
