So with Arcade Edition having gone gold, that means that character changes are finalized. Not much is known about what changes have been made to Sakura at this point beyond some interaction with other characters nerfs/buffs etc.
Thus this thread. This thread is reserved for wild speculation only. The rules are simple, any Sakura changes you post here must be believable, but slightly more farfetched than the changes that were posted before you.
To start it off:
[LIST]
[]Forward dash reduced to 16 frames
[]Movement on back dash increased
[]EX Otoshi will track crouching targets better
[]Active hit box on neutral jump mp shrunk to better reflect animation
[/LIST]
Yep Sakura updates in the next dev blog get hype. If there was a wish list I would hope for maybe fast startup on her focus attack and maybe a bit less recovery on her non-charged fireballs.
[list]
[]Faster U2 or more damage.
[]Make c.lk/s.lk xx lk shunpu combo
[]Stop ex tatsu hoping over people when you comboed into it
[]Fix ex shou so that the second part of it doesn’t whiff when you do it from far distance.
[]Get rid of that useless “whoopsie” thing on otoshi.
[]Make level 3 hadoken knockdown or juggle if it hits as anti air.
[*]Faster sweep
[/list]
Her sweep has 7 frame startup, which is basically the average sweep speed in the game.
To give you a comparison, Balrog’s sweep comes out in 8 frames, so that means Sakura’s is technically faster. No reason for her to have a faster sweep really, so I don’t see it happening.
Fo real? Balrog’s sweep feels like 3 frames to me lol! Maybe its the range that gets me then. So who has a fast sweep? Chun-Li?
I’d still like a faster sweep for Sak. Might not happen but thats my wish list. If I really wanted to go extra I’d ask for faster cl. mk, c.mp, c.mk lol. Let’s make sak high tier lol.
I heard in the japanese loketests for AE a sakura player blocked a blanka ball and dashed in and combo’d his ass… punishing blanka balls seems to be something you won’t have to worry about…
This is not my wish list however, its that I know how capcom works and they don’t care about saks so IF they changed something it won’t be more then that.
Actually should make shouoken 4 hit, fadc an easier link so I can do the combos online and offline lol. Either add more hit stun to the first 4 hits or remove a frame or 2 from her dash which is already pretty quick.
