Sakura Combos - School girls hit hard! [Updated: 03-01-11)

hrrrngha just saw the thread

Juri:
cl.hp x lk tatsu, c.hp x lk tatsu, c.hp x hp sho works

Can you snag an EX Shunpuu on the end instead of HP Shou? Juri seems to have a good hit box to take beats :rofl:

You can end with c.mp x ex shunpu to get the full ex shunpu to connect.
And yeah, she does have a great hitbox to take a beating :slight_smile:

well thats good news, but yuri so far didn’t feel challenging for me.

it seemed for me u can keep her in check with pokes.

Got a Yuri in the Corner down with hitting s.hk reseting them while trying to jump and hitting over and over again with s.hk ^^
Feels great to have so much control in the corner.

I can tell you that doesn’t work against Akuma, but should again everyone else. That was one of my Vanilla combos with Sakura, only I go into EX Tatsu for a mixup a lot of times. If the character doesn’t have a strong reversal, I go for the j.lk, st.lp or j.hk shenanigans.

found out something interesting today. say your are in the corner and u wanna land ultra and u have him in a combo. usually u you would do ex tatsu. but if u do lp shou it will actually do more damage do to the fact that ex tatsu only hits 3 of the 4 times. also here is a fun combo that u can now do against balrog in super that u couldnt do in vanilla

your right, due to stun reduction on ex tatsu it makes more sense to use shou in the Corner and Save Meter

That Rog Combo should work in Vanilla to? i don’t see why not.
since u can connect the final s.lp u can finish with cr.mk xx shou

Would have been cooler if you linked the s.LP into c.MK xx LP Shou and landed Shinkuu after :wink:

That’s a really nice find, I’ve always wanted to able to do a bigger combo on Boxer.

u couldnt do it it in vanilla because the sweep woudn’t connect. his hit box has been increased so i did this combo to show how it has changed. in vanilla u could only do st hp, lk tatsu, st lp, sweep

Ah, the devs did mention they fixed Balrog’s “wonky” hit box, shame they didn’t do the same for Blanka :frowning:

Just wondering if anyone has any tips on landing cr.lk xx EX.tatsu. I want to add this on to a few combos (it seems to work on all characters) but it’s just so hit and miss for me. I’ve seen in many videos of people landing it with ease. Nevermind ending a combo with it I have trouble just practicing cr.lk straight to EX.tatsu. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

are you on a pad or a arcade stick? i am a pad user primarily.

the inputs should look like this if im not mistaken. i used 3k button for my ex tatsu. you can use 2 kick buttons if its easier for ya,

:d::lk: , :db: , :l::3k:

instead of pressing down twice, once for the c.lk and the ex tatsu you just combine the inputs into one fluid motion. also make sure that you are pressing the 3k button after your :l: input has been registered. i pulled out my arcade stick today and was practicing earlier and any time my ex tatsu didnt come out it was because i pressed my 3k during the :db: input. turn on the inputs in training mode and practice doing the c.lk to ex tatsu and see what they look like when you do it successfully and unsuccessfully. make corrections from there until it comes out smoothly.

hope this helps!:wgrin:

I’m guessing the problem is you’re hitting people that are crouching and therefore hopping over them with the EX Shunpuu, right? You either want to know what distance that will combo on crouching characters (varies on character, not sure works on all characters) or to use it in a situation you think they’ll be standing. Good one I like to do is after a forward throw you jump at them like you were to cross-up but don’t attack and immediately do a c.LK xx EX Shunpuu on landing (probably want to option select throw that c.LK) and a lot of the time they’ll not be able to respond quick enough to the lack of cross-up and get caught.

Landed a nice combo online today.

Hadoken -> SA cancel --> Dash --> Crouching HP --> EX Shunpukyaku --> Anti Air Ultra 2 X KKK.

Thanks man, it’s doing the trick, can end most of my combos with cr.lk xx tatsu with regularity offline…online is a different story. Just have to K.I.S.S. while playing online lol
Thanks again.

They really need to fix her hitbox.

or akuma :shake:

yeah juri has a lame hit box
