Sakura Q&A: Ask simple questions here!

Hi Sakura players. I’ve been maining C. Viper exclusively since Street Fighter 4’s release, and I have finally decided to pick an alternate character. I’ve gone through pretty much the whole roster while trying to choose who my alt. should be, but my choice has come down to three people; Vega (claw) Akuma, and Sakura.

Anyways, I was just wondering what would make you guys choose Sakura over Vega and Akuma, because I can’t seem to choose…

btw, my alternate will only be used for beating on PSN scrubs & amateurs, so no high level play for my alt. I need suggestions that’ll make Sakura suitable against novice and intermediate level players

cause all akumas know how to do is run away and leave air hadoukens in their wake… no skill there… id rather play someone who actually takes skill

well u could look at why we play sakura thread, ignore the perverts reasons lol. but i play her cause i love the combos the mixups and the good feeling when u beat someone with her due to your skill you’ll know why lol. shes just a fun character. try watching some of her videos we have.

akuma DEFINITELY takes skill…

to play him right yea… i was just trying to say no one who plays him uses any skill (or i have yet to fight one who does). they all just spam air fire balls and teleport if you get close. id actually love to see an akuma who actually uses combos or actually can land an SGS for once

oh online akumas…

well then yeah I agree 100% lol. Flowchart akuma is very solid and eaaaaaaasy to use.

yeah i have a friend who busts some nasty akuma combos… they just dont exist online

honestly if owning low level scrubs is all you care about with an alt then probably Vega. SO ANNOYING! Close second is Sakura because she’s rare and it sucks to get beat up by a teenage girl.

anyone know what beats guile’s air grab?
i played some guy and tried a lot of stuff, such as short, fierce, forward, roundhouse, tatsu

does it just have priority or what

here is a video of what it does beat lol. its the second half that shows the air throws

hahahahaha
wow
guile just went up 20 cool points from that video

seriously

but what happens when you try to air throw someone who is trying to air throw?

AIR TECH? :looney:

hi im new to shoryuken and sf4 can someone fill me in on some of the abbreviations i’m reading in the combos. like QCB, qcf, etc…

Is there anything that can connect from her c.LK? After FADC’ing forward a blocking opponent only c.LK seems to hit quick and regularly, but can also eat a DP though, so is it worth it?

hmm a EX tatsumaki connects with it and its safe on block for you so no worries… Only problem with this is if they were crouching, then you’ll just fly over their heads…oopsie :rolleyes:

a lp shouken works but you’ll be punished on block so i don’t recommend it.

a lk tatsumaki would work and you won’t have to worry bout going over their heads. If you can do it, then just connect that with the lk again into ex-tatsumaki…if you can do it lol :nunchuck: :pray:

oh i got a quick question, i didn’t feel right if i made a new thread about a simple question…

I’ve been using a controller using Sakura the whole time and was wondering if a stick will be helpful. I’m pretty decent at her just a few glitches on input once in a while.

If it helps, i already reserved a copy of blazblue and thinking of purchasing KOF XII which im pretty sure having a stick will make playing both games “easier.”

Every answer comment is appreciated =P

So Sakura has a kara?

Since when?

it doesn’t add a lot of range is why it doesn’t get talked about…

Oh I see. I was under the impression that she just didn’t have one at all.
