So... You want to learn Sakura? - (Online 1vs1s for Newbie Sak Players)

Just to let you all know, the Team Sakura meetings aren’t the only way to train with your fellow Sakura players. I’m almost always going to be available on Thursday nights, but any other night of the week if you see me on, send me an invite and we can get some impromptu sessions in. This is a great opportunity for us to trade Sakura knowledge.

hey khaan… shoot me a message on psn (shytzoo) or xbox (shytzu) and id be happy to show you some stuff. right now it would be best to contact me on xbox (as im playing dead rising 2 a lot), but i mainly play on ps3. i live in nor cal so our connection should be good and i usually am off work around 4pm.

Bumping the thread.

Just to let everyone know…yes06kin has taught well, That im actually improved everything about my Sakura game and combos/links/cross-ups are 10x better (I was pretty close to beating his Sakura a few time). I think that im well informed about Sakura that i want to move to the next level and make viper my secondary.
I love yes06kin
PS…No Homo.

PSS…Im still on a xbox pad.

I’m glad to hear it Mr Seventy!
