The Sakura Kasugano Thread

It does suck indeed.

So is there any added benefit to using the games pre-made partnerships? I was planning on using Blanka and Sakura anyway.

You get sweet special intros. Otherwise, I don’t think so.

Welly welly welly well, Sakura in fall available… at least makes the early team composition a bit more easy. B(
Still. Do. Want. Her. So. Much.

Well, I guess that’s better than nothing.

I didn’t care about Day 1 DLC gems. I didn’t care about DLC on the disc. But this? Having to wait 6+ months for the characters? I don’t know what to say really. I’ll get the game and try to enjoy it but I’ve lost so much faith in Capcom. There’s NO need to make us wait that long.

I think what made it worse for me is that everyone I want to play is DLC; Sak/Christie/Alisa/Elena/Lars/Lei. I don’t really have a desire to play anyone on the current roster that much to be honest aside from maybe Lili and Xiaoyu. Gutted.

Wow!!!

I realise 1 weakness of her is that she doesn’t have good high-low mixups, or any mixup for that matter. But her combo possibilities and damage output is pretty insane.

And that is not a jogging outfit, that looks more like a part-time job, ie McDonalds like outfit.

you’re saying Sakura has no mixups? LOL

I love that she is in the game, too bad she is DLC. Guess I´ll focus on just Akuma until I get my hands on Sakura.

You referring to her ex Tatsu reset mixups? Or some other mixup that I am not aware of?

Sakura do have pretty good wake up safe jump mixups and frame traps in SF4 not sure how effective they are in SFXT now with lesser throw range and tech rolling:( It will be nice if she can combo off a flower kick, but I don’t think that is possible if it is not a counter hit.

By the way, can Sakura still charge her hadouken?

cant wait ^^ Xiaoyu until then

And the vita release is when? November or something ridiculous like that?

Is it just my eyes playing tricks on me?

But is Sakura able to charge her tatsu?

Sakura’s super is Haru Ichiban, so her tatsu is her charge special.

Ah that makes sense so.

More footage! (Although it’s CPU vs CPU)

Anything you guys want me to try out?

The impending Sakura is the only thing that is keeping me from getting salty enough about this game to just return-to-sender my copy when I get home.

Report anything really.

I think we’ll be interested in damage values on all of her normals/specials, and a moveset (If it’s slightly different from SFIV)

Is cr.hp still godlike?

Also, maybe check if her mk/hk/ex tatsu is safe on block

What can she chain from her st.lk, cr.mk and st.hk and what combos can she get off it?

Maybe a few basic combos into super or something

Anything you think would be relevant really. But could you post up a list of her damage values off her normals and specials? I think that would be a top priority. If you can anyway, we appreciate this! I can stick that list up in the OP along with whatever else information you can post.
