Sakura in AE 2012

I have shitty execution and I’d still have rather gotten more/better tools than an execution crutch. How did this change even get proposed? I just don’t understand… I get accidental otoshis from time to time. Every time I do, I think “I need to be more careful how I input this” not “i wish capcom would change the way this works”

WHY WONT THEY FIX EX SHOUOKEN!?!?

Hah, I’ve been the total opposite, my only thoughts are either “GOD FUCKING SHIT-FUCKING DAMMIT MOTHERBITCHERS TO HELL FUCKING SHITFUCKS”(I just got an Otoshi after an EX tatsu launch where U2 would have ended the round, which I subsequently lost) or “I wish they would patch this crap move clear out of the game or give it a different input…”

Is that Uryo Bodying peeps in the first stream?

Just reposting it here :slight_smile:

They should fix how she can dash after a mistimed ex.dp fadc. When the fadc isn’t timed right, it causes her to go on with the focus attack which is ok, but you can’t correct it fast enough probably because the window of execution for it is really small.

This is critical for her reversal combos. I hope you guys agree or at least know what I’m trying to say :stuck_out_tongue:

I’d like to see her back dash become improved, but it’s good that they fix the cr.lk cr.lp cr.hp ex. tatsu link. I hated how it was character specific.

if ex tatsu stops goinf over crouched ppl that could be the best buff ever

Tatsu never whiffing on crouch would be asking too much

Sakura has the perfect design, very bad defence but her damage/mixups make up for it. No need to improve her defence imo

Apparently there’s a new log of changes coming out on the 30th iirc.

All I really want is for her normal otoshi > smash to either be overhead OR have recovery frames like akuma’s palm. It doesn’t have much use outside of the ex shunpuu > otoshi>smash x 2 mix up and is very unsafe on whiff.

That would be nice, slightly faster startup would be cool

I don’t want otoshi changed, that would fuck up the timing of all the setups we have after otoshi x2

The only change otoshi needs is already slated, the move itself is fine as long as it doesn’t come out when you don’t want it to lol

I would love a backdash that isn’t uppercuttable on reaction…

But in all honesty i don’t think she needs any changes. She’s not going to be top tier, but capcom always fucks things up when they try to create a 1 tier rebalance.

Yeah I completely agree, she didn’t need changes she just needed fixing i.e her EX shunpuu going over which I’m glad they did fix. But hey, who doesn’t like changes to their characters obviously not including nerfs haha :smiley:

I think she will be top tier in 2012.

We’ll see how the changes go on the 30th

It’s funny that if they didn’t touch her specifically at all but increased damage scaling across the board she’d go from upper-mid to shit tier, lol.

Sakura will not be top tier without changes

she will be just short of toptier she doesnt have a gd answer to rufus.

Not just Rufus though. And I think Rufus/Sak isn’t that bad.
