Sakura Strategy and Match-up Thread (2.0)

He was random himself.
Couldn’t really approach him the way I wanted to.
I’m uploading another video.

Nice job walking him into the corner, daigo play.

Yep. Daigo play.
Especially since the guy wasn’t trying to zone me at all. He was completely random, so I had to run away and turtle.

But, yeah. You’re definitely Pro, MooiboyRoy. /sarcasm

Here’s another one.

Doesn’t mean a single thing to me.

k

It’s all about them PSN bp/pp these days

**
That doesn’t matter either.
I just don’t have the time to care.
**

Damn, we were wrong about you.

These vids def show you can play this game.

IF THE GAME WAS SUPER MARIO BROTHERS.

**
yawn
Alright. I’m getting bored.

Hang in there kid.

I watched both vids but I still didn’t see a single fireball FADC punish, what gives?! I thought this was going to be pro shit!

All i saw was Super Mario Bros. Jumping ever ½ second this aint fucking Super Jump Fighters 4 BRO!

Do you not see all the faults in your footsies and gameplay? Not just once or twice, you show bad habit patterns. In fact, I don’t know what you’re trying to show us with these videos. No frame traps, no setups, no solid play or mix-ups - you basically play Sakura as a shoto with a heavy emphasis on the reset game. I’m relatively sure you even dropped your c.LK, c.LP, c.MK combo because you’re so used to c.LK, c.LP, c.HP that you got out of range of the c.HP and just went for the throw.

Did you honestly think we would see these videos and shut our mouths, listen to what you say, and just take your advice because you’ve showed your theories and information can work? No, man, you played against newbie shotos, and you exposed that you’re comparable to them in more ways than one (in those videos). Your bad habits are straight out of a flow chart.

**
Ok. I’ve been holding myself back for you kids, but I need some entertainment.

Alright, lets analyze what you just said, you little piece of shit. I’m about to take you back to school.

Who the fuck would do all of that shit when the situation doesn’t call for it? Not even Uryo does all of that in every match he’s in. This is how I know you don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about. You talk big shit, but you won’t play me in a match. So quick to critique people, but have nothing to show.

a) No need to frame trap him.

b) No mix ups? Are you blind?
[media=youtube]qzzs6H9Xhf8[/media]

c) I put him in several setups. You don’t even know what a set up is.
[media=youtube]-azPh-LPr9I[/media]

d) If I have heavy emphasis on resets, wouldn’t that mean I’m mixing up a lot? Uh huck yuck! (see step B)

I play her like a Shoto? ROFLMAO.
Do you even know what a shoto is, hmm?
A shoto is a character that can do three moves: Dragon Punch, Hadoken and Tatsu. Sakura can do all three so… Guess what? SAKURA IS A SHOTO! HOLY SHIT BALLS!! You can shut the fuck up now. Yes, that means you.

But wait… We’re not finished!

I said I’d take you back to school now. So, how’s a little lesson, hmm?
Where does digestion in the human body start? I can tell you that your mother knows, and she knows very very well if you get what I’m saying. No?

The Mouth.

[media=youtube]HqCflST0_4M[/media]

Yes, It’s true. Digestion starts at your mouth, and your mother is quite gifted with that sweet mouth of hers. But enough about her. Let’s talk about YOU.
There’s a lot of shit coming out of YOUR mouth. Perhaps if you quit shoving food up your ass, it wouldn’t spew from your mouth like it is now. What am I talking about you ask? I’ll explain. Hopefully you can absorb the amount of knowledge I’m about to give you through that huge forehead of yours.

  1. I do her c.lk, c.lp, st.lp [You missed this part], cr.mk > DP combo all the time. However, sometimes I stop half way to grab. This is called a set up, retard. Now that the person is on the ground and I’m right next to them, I have an assortment of options I can do.
    [media=youtube]PyklzjFHQpQ[/media]

  2. You’re asking yourself, “Well, why stop half way when you’re sure to get more damage continuing the combo than betting on a set up that may not work.” Because, you faggot-ass bitch, the higher your combo, the less damage you do. If the set up starts another combo, you’re still doing 100% damage on the next hit and not 80% or lower damage. Therefore, you hurt your opponent more.

  3. You don’t play Sakura. If you were to play her, come and play me. My Sakura’s thong is much too heavy for you to hold. It’ll crush you.
    **

**
And you show that your mother is really good at sucking dick and you’re really good at talking shit.
Hey, I should start writing nursery rhymes about your mother.
**

Even if one shoved food up their ‘posterior’, it still wouldn’t come out of their mouth. Shockingly enough, the human body has defences against these things.

**
I was making a joke :stuck_out_tongue:
**

You are the joke.

If only you came to these forums with an open mind and a friendlier attitude to people that are giving you advice.
But no, your ego is what’s holding you back and you attack everyone with insults that doesn’t agree with you.
You act like you’re the best Sakura player on the forums yet these videos show otherwise.

You are the textbook scrub.

I’d love to see you post more, so we can all have a few more laughs(or you could clean up your act?),
but I’m afraid you might get banned soon(again).

On topic:

Ending combo’s with mp shoueken gives really good okizeme against a great deal of the cast, it doesn’t ever matter if the quickstand. And there’s sweep/otoshi after ex tatsu. All in all very little reason to use resets anymore

I’m going to try and see if I can compile a list of options and make a video to prove my point.

@Quinton: DONT LET THESE SCRUBS HOLD YOU DOWN MANG. YOURE THE BEST THING TO EVER HAPPEN TO THE SAKURA FORUMS. KEEP ON DOING YOUR THING. I LOVE YOU. I HAVE NEVER ENJOYED THESE FORUMS SO MUCH. Don’t stop being you. I’m serious. I’m sure you will get far in life and everybody will have to shut up when you are at Evo this year. They have no idea what they’re talking about. I do Ex Tatsu on wake up all the time. Shit is mad safe! Did you know that you are frame advantage when they block it? Fuck you might even be able to do a frame trap. I also think jumping around a lot is a good idea. You jump forward, then you jump backwards. They can’t catch you man. mix it up. Jump straight jump left jump right. I saw your videos, your Sakura is SICK! S-I-C-K. Love you. Hope you love me too. Do you have AIM? Gtalk? ICQ? Hit me up please.

**
In the second video, the reason I started jumping around was because my opponent was doing the same thing. If you notice on 0:36, he jumps at me 3 or 4 times. I tried to do the same thing, but he wasn’t having that.

As far as blkwoverine. I’ve fought him once before (obviously). He does a lot of jumping. So, I did the same thing. Also, Sakura’s air tatsu throws people off a lot.
In anycase, even Uryo jumps a lot when the situation calls for it. In the case of Juri, many of her setups can begin with her dive kick. Also, the last thing you want Juri to do is to pin you down.

It’s not necessarily about how technical you are in the game. It’s about using your brain. It’s about what counter you should use on an attack; should you block on wake or should you attack; should you jump in to put pressure or should you back off.

A lot of people in SRK have pretty big egos. If they think you’re wrong about something, they’re quick to label you. However, many of the people here are mostly talk. It would be easier if we just played a few matches instead.
