Sakura Strategy and Match-up Thread (2.0)

Hmmm, so if you plink the crMK its a 2 frame punish?
Similar to how Infiltration plinks lp with select to punish 1 frame punishes from Balrog?

I try not to mess with just frame punishes, last thing I want is to turn what would be a punish for me into one for them because I missed by a frame :?

You can aways try to punish with just the crMK, maybie put a hadoken once or twice to mix it up. Or just use crMP since you have the frame advantage and hope for a counter hit that you can confirm into crMK x Shou.

Or you go into training mode and practice that shieeeeeeeeeet

<3

I kinda like that one might try it out some day, practice you call it? intresting… :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: i have alot stored in my hidden drawer of sak knowledge .

Yes. And just like you can plink st. lk with back button to make punishing dash punches easier also.

I punish dash punches with st.lp.

You don’t seem to be THAT good… your Sakura’s similar to mine xD
EDIT: After watching some more videos of you, seems like you can’t do your combos properly from the 2p side 0_o
You’re also VERY grab happy… like me…

Well either way they’re both similar, stLK lets you go straight into DP, stLP is easier because you can do crMK after it into DP.

Hah the 2p side your correct about and that match was so troll its hard to find a video of me taking it seriously but you’ll see soon execution is not a problem for me anymore sakura dosent have too har combos not even shouken fadc cl.hp

Guess I have to take this more serious if ppl gonna post videos wildly and tell me that im bad :slight_smile:

yet that was indeed a bad performance on that vid Lol epic trolling match .

Oh no, I didn’t doit randomly at all o.O
I wouldn’t victimise anyone…
Its just the way you said you had hidden Sak tech and stuff you made it sound like you were some top Sakura pro yet I hadn’t seen you post much or any video footage of you.
Like you’ll say oh yeah guys! Unblockables on the way! Or yeah guys! Man this is basic stuff guys lolol, Sakura has 100 unblockables against everyone!
Yet you never showed anything else so thought I’d do research, found that video and all your other videos from that tournament and saw you were like… well you were good but above average at best to be honest…
But yup, Sak combos are easy because they don’t require fast hand movements or multiple actions at once, they just need good timing + plinking.

This. Also used to punish whiffed EX Divekicks from Cammy with st.lp into combo. Makes them think twice about going all autopilot over you.

hes just a douche if thats true

kinda ballsy though wut if it hits u lose so much health

More you do it, the better you’ll get at it I guess… I used to miss Sak combos ALLLLL the time… and get big punishes but now I rarely do!

Won’t lk punish dash punches, etc from farther away than lp? I always figured it had longer reach… but if you’re in range then lp all the way.

Anyways my point was that you can use back button to help with punishing also. Infiltration doesn’t have that shit copyrighted.

Dude, I can barely plink HP, I’m not exactly gonna start using select :stuck_out_tongue:
But yep, definitely lk has that slight further reach too so that’s definitely an advantage!

No, I meant punish the ones that land right in front of you, not ones that try and get you from the sky

Deebs: I have Qanba stick so I can’t really p-link with back/select. It seems kinda awkward with a Mad Catz stick too unless you use your left hand to move the joystick and the right to press back.

Well belive it or not mr.patel im just trying too be a nice guy, supporting fellow sakuras. ofc anything not written in stone could be taken with a pinch of salt. I kinda get it why ppl dont want to share knowledge cause of ignorant ppl that wanna be forum masters etc but I actully got stuff comming up in time, it just takes foreever to test everything for my own sake to see that it works 100% and write it down.

Well, if you get good at it in training, what Infiltration has done is mapped his KKK button (bottom right one) to select.
Opened up his arcade stick and swapped around those 2 buttons.
So its miles easier to plink…
Sako does that too… probably more that do it but them 2 are the only ones I’ve SEEN do it.
I’m pretty sure no one would plink with back where it is now…

I’m not trying to be a dick, I honestly have nothing against you and you seem like a nice guy.
I’m just calling you out on your mass sakura knowledge etc.
If you don’t want to share it, that’s entirely up to you and thats fine but no point going round telling everyone all this stuff if you aren’t gonna prove your worth really.
As for the testing thing etc, you can write it here I, and I’m sure a lot of other people can test it for you and don’t mind at all if it works or not.
Again sorry, not trying to make you feel bad or be a dick sorry if it sounds personal, just hate when people are all talk and no show man, nothing personal dude!
