That’s not taking into account that she’s an athlete and she looked more muscular in SF4. Even as a petite and lithe gal, she should probably weigh more due to her muscle.
@Daemos: Thanks for posting that!
So far from what I’ve heard, even though the reviews are so-so on story mode, the details offered are music to my ears. I don’t mind having more footage vs gameplay since I’m a lore nut, but I just hope hard mode actually is giving me a challenge.
I know SRK hates single player but if you played Sakura’s arcade mode in SSFIV. She tells your her daily training regime. No way she’d way 92lbs after all that. Ibuki is 121lbs. Karin is 130lbs. Cammy is 134lbs. Sakura should be about Karin or Cammy’s size.
Edit: Found a Youtube video. Go to the 0:17 mark. She starts talking about her workout.
Today’s Training Regime: 100 laps around the deck, 500 push ups, 500 pull ups, 500 sit ups, 800 squats. After that she swabbed the decks and entered an arm wrestling contest. 92lbs my ass.
Good. It’s Story mode. I WANT the story to be the focus. If I want more gameplay, I can just go find some matches.
You wish to understand why Sakura would still be in a school girl uniform? You wish to know why she, after so many years of pursuing this wretch named Ryu, this worthless vagabond that cares not one iota enough to take her under his wing and teach her what he knows, why she should wear the same outfit, say after day, month after month, year after year?! You do not have the capacity to understand, just as this Ryu that Sakura seeks lacks the courage to not only emabrace his true power, to embrace the Satsui No Hado, but also lacks the courage to be responsible for another! To watch over her as if she was his own! To care for her like Gouken cares for him! YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY SHE WEARS THAT SCHOOL GIRL UNIFORM!?! THEN ASK YOURSELF: WHY DOES RYU WEAR THE SAME GI, BELT AND HEADBAND YEAR AFTER YEAR!?! WHY DO YOU SUPPOSE, THAT IS?

He’s poor and lacks normal hygiene.
Watching her SSF4 ending again makes me even angrier that they’re keeping this outfit. YOU HAVE THE MATERIAL CAPCOM, USE IT!
Now would be a perfect opportunity to start establishing Sakura as an actual adult in more mature attire.
I know the schoolgirl look is a fan favorite, but it’d be nice to see her style changed to something more refreshing.
Sure, the Sakura stats are a little close to anorexia but to be fair the rest of the girls are bordering on overweight.
Most likely explanation is that someone at Capcom finally detected SJWs were given free charge of the lore and, in his zeal of protecting the last profile left, he erred on the side of too few kilograms.
As someone that actually follows combat sports that’s BS. Who’s overweight? Most atomweight (105lbs) female fighters cut from 120lbs. Miesha Tate is 147lbs when she’s not cutting to bantamweight and she’s 5’6". I’ve never heard anyone say shes overweight.
This is Miesha Tate by the way

Wtf is even going on?
While Sakura was showed in the game with her school uniform im pretty sure it will be her story mode costume. She is most likely to be in season 2 and I feel she is going to change. She might even be in the story mode and by the recent preview im really interested to see it.
Now those are some peak women. +1 for you.
I will admit that the old outfit may be her story mode costume, but it’s not looking so likely right now. The only character who is really changes that much between the prologues and their default is Birdie. I don’t think Capcom considers anything Birdie-related applicable to Sakura.
We are all waiting for BornFree to post more SFV news. He seems to be the only one at E3 that cares.

Damn… Niggas get all this time and not video besides the BornFree ones? Sad times man
Admitedly I don’t watch MMA, but Cammy’s weight looks rather heavy. Doing a little research:
Invicta weights:
Atomweight: 44 - 48 kg or 96-108 lb
Strawweight: 49 - 52 kg or 106 -115 lb
Flyweight: 53 - 56 kg or 116 - 125 lb
Bantamweight: 57 - 61 kg or 126 - 135 lb
Featherweight: 62 - 66 kg or 136 - 145 lb
So Cammy, who AFAIK is the shortest female in SF and has a knack for spins, wall jumps and acrobatics, fits into the 2nd heaviest class?
The Strawweight champions have similar height to her (Angela Hill, Katja Kankaanpaa and Livia Renata Souza). How are 19 pounds not a little off the mark? Maybe if the 134 lb of the profile is her base weight and she cuts it to kick Shadaloo’s asses but I would expect the profile to list her cut, ready for competition weight.
Gymnasts would be another fair comparison, especially in the case of Ibuki who has a focus on agility rather than raw hit power.

Well THEY ARE superhuman. I mean I don’t think their weightclass would really hold them back or whatever. I mean if you’re leaping 40ft into the air with relative ease you might as well defy reality…well our reality.
Oh, but that’s all ki based so it’s not superhuman! You know, traditional martial artists just channelling their ki and shit. No big deal.
