Sakura Movelist

what do u mean by aerial hurrican kick. like jump up and do it? from what i can remember none of her challenges have u do that. but there is no real secret u just jump and do :qcb: :hk:

There’s no special timing or anything really, just jump and then do a normal hurricane kick while she’s in the air.

Keep in mind that to pass the trial it’s going to have to hit Dan, so jump forward and do the hurricane kick while she’s on the way down.

That’s exactly what I’ve been trying to do, on the ground, I can do the hurricane kick like theres no tomorrow, try and jump in the air and do it, and it never seems to read the input, and just ends up being a normal kick. =/ I just went and tried it again and still no luck.

what kind of controller are u using

none, I have the PC version, using the keyboard =o

and there is your problem lol. that just sounds so difficult. go buy a wired 360 controller or an arcade stick for either ps3 or 360 they both wil work

Your best bet is probably to go into training mode and turn on input display and see what you’re doing.

Random guess: Make sure that you’re taking your finger off the down arrow before you press kick

Well that’s hardly fair, wasn’t useless by any stretch of the imagination since you could easily combo off it off an EX Shunpuu. You want to talk about useless Ultra then look at Honda’s and to a lesser extent Vega and Guile’s.

Everything combos off an EX Shunpuu, the only reason it wouldn’t is if it’s so God damn slow it doesn’t make it to them in time but then you could probably dash and do it anyways. I’m disappointed, we get Ryu’s Super hand-me-down as an Ultra, as Cammy would say “How incredibly dull.” It better be as epic looking as Dan’s new Ultra with a touch of cuteness. Hopefully we’ll see it soon.

Some computers/keyboards can only read a certain amount of inputs at a time. I think on my laptop that reaches 3-4 keys being pressed simultaneously. Do yourself a favor and buy a pelican adapter for PS2 or just plug your TE/SE stick in and try it. (PS3 TE/SE sticks need a driver to install, find it somewhere =\

Vega’s ultra is better than sakura’s imho. I posted in the guide why in general you do not use Sakura’s ultra that much, except after psychic tatsu for the most part, basically the damage isn’t worth it. But vega’s ultra IS useful. You don’t see it hit much, but it mostly prevents fireballs, and punishes interesting things… Think about if sakura had vega’s ultra. She would be better, she could punish blanka ball easily for starters! Hell, sakura would be way better with guiles ultra too! And vega would be much better with sakura’s ultra, so he could have SOMETHING with invul.

Still, I posted in the other section, having a powerful anti air will be helpful for her. Maybe you will be able to ex shunpu, no dash upwards ultra, then move in for a crossup on their wakeup. With pants.

Edit: I would much rather have sho sho sho though.

Vega can barely connect his off a Focus Attack and smart people will just be more careful with using projectiles and such but Sakura’s is much easier to land. Vega’s would probably be better if it was easier to do… It’s not so much the Ultra itself but the Ultra paired with ways to land it, that’s why Vega rarely gets to use his. I don’t really see Guile’s Ultra being any different to Haru Ranman in terms of application (assuming it was performed the same way), maybe just for the juggle properties but we don’t have much to juggle with atm anyways :frowning:

Best case scenario with Haru Ranman would be a c.HP xx EX Shunpuu > Haru Ranman punish, this suffers the same scaling (roughly) as Ryu’s F+HP > SRK FADC > Metsu Hadouken and our Ultra does more damage than his.

Shinkuu Hadouken won’t look very epic :frowning: I’ll be pissed if it doesn’t look more epic than Ryu’s Metsu Hadouken and she has to be cute when doing it! Can’t stress the cuteness enough! :stuck_out_tongue:

i just want to see the shinkuu hadouken so bad lol.

Best case senario is random ex hurricane into ultra, which is usually the only situation I found myself actually using sakura’s ultra. The problem with it was, me having it didn’t scare the opponent into doing anything differently. With vega’s ultra, fireballs happen alot less often, which matters ALOT in some matches. What is sim going to do without fireballs? Once you get to 50% ultra that match gets alot easier.

Ryu’s situation, f hp, cr.hp, srk ultra is more useful because he only gives up 2 meter. He gets roughly the same post combo rushdown. We have to give up stun and mixup to do ours.

Just watch chun doing her 2nd ultra and imagine a school uniform :rofl:

i think its gonna be better and cooler than that. oh and cody’s second ultra is freakin amazing lol. cant wait to pick him up. all u gotta do is ex hurricane punch to ultra lol. freakin awesome!!!

and i agree with destin kinda. her ultra puts no fear to do anything in people. on ryu u stop jumping and and attacking as much on their wake up. although i would still say vegas is terrible and worse than saks

Shinkuu Hadoken @ :36. WATCH IT.

That’s cool that you can control the angle on it :Bgrin: I’m impressed that seems to go full screen too - I wasn’t expecting that. Hooray for j.MK crossing up again!

GET HYPE!!! looks like we’ve got some of our wishes lol. the hadouken looks faster too. and if u cant control the angle of the shinkuu hadou that would just be sexy. oh im excited. it was great to see j mk cross over.

Lookin’ good. :>

Ultra II having different options = instantly dropping Haru Ranman. Haha

Crossover j.MK is sexy, too.
