Why do YOU play Sakura?

Yuri is Ryo’s sister. Yuri and Sakura even got a special entrance together in CvS.

Sweet!

SNK fucking up KOFXII by adding people no one want…like Mature and Elizbeth. Where the fuck is Mai and K’ and Yuri and Kula? Hell, K’ was the fucking main character in KOF99. But I digress.

Sakura’s ass in those red bloomers for the win!

she was trained by Dan…

+1

also: Gym uniform:rofl:

another +1

Actually she has that in KOF '96-'98 and 2000-2001. She also has the Flower Kick in a few games as well as having the Raging Demon in 2001 and the Denjin Hadouken in 2003.

As an aside - while looking through FAQs for the above information I came across one where the writer thought Mai actually says “Me bouncy”. Haha.

**BACK ON TOPIC

Sakura’s always been one of my favourite characters, and the fact that she’s incredibly fun to play as in SF4 helps too. Also, LOL @ some of her win quotes;

vs. Sagat: “I totally understand your obsession with Ryu. Isn’t he dreamy?”

vs. M. Bison: “Is that gigantic chin the source of your power?”

She isnt afraid to high-kick in a school girl outfit

I could spam f.mk that all day

i like playing her for her crazy combos and mixups. nothing like getting perfects with a schoolgirl

Winning with flower kick and showing off DAT ASS.

Oh how I wish she still had her dive kick from CvS2, damn you Rufus. Damn you.

This.

Well, I always wanted to use Sakura back in Alpha 2 but I never really understood how to link, crossover, etc. The only source we had for games back then were Tips & Tricks and Gamepro magazines. That was long ago though, I started playing fighting games when SFII came out, but was always one of those j.:hk: c.:hk: fireball flowchart scrubs. Then there was CvS2, where I learned about linking, and a little about crossovers. Was always a K groove, defensive user.

Now that SFIV is out, I took alot of time to practice and understand the mechanics. My main is Sagat, but recently my gf asked me to teach her how to play SFIV. I started to teach her how to use Ken, and wandered off trying to find a female character that was suitable for her to use… then found Sakura again. I started using her and started to really like it, because she’s fun to use with some funny taunts. I no longer cared about winning, but just wanted to have some fun. Hopefully, my gf can find the same enjoyment from using Sakura as I have when the time is ready.

Nobody outside of America likes Mai or K’ (Not sure about Kula’s popularity, but she’s a fucking bitch gameplay-wise. Also, SNK hates the NESTS Saga now). Dunno why Yuri isn’t in, but whatever. I’ll take Mature and Elizabeth over a generic little girl like Yuri any day.

Informative thread, I just figured you guys were all pedophiles.

yeah at the begging of the thread it was good but it seems to be going that way…

yeah this thread is pretty gross

I play sakura because I’ve always played sakura in SF. just like I play hwo in every tekken regardless of the fact that he isn’t very good. gotta stick with your characters :slight_smile:

Hey Dullyanna! I didn’t know you was a member of SRK too!

But why doesnt anyone outside of America likes Mai or K’?

Lets just say: cultural differences.

LOL!

Okay, lemme do a recap on why I main Sakura (I was maining Sakura first then Ryu, then Chun-Li, then Sakura, then Cammy, then Ryu, then Chun-Li, then Ryu, then Cammy, then Chun-Li, then Ryu, now Sakura…again).

  • Schoolgirl wearing a sailor uniform thing.
  • Fights for no reason other than to fight.
  • Is a Ryu wannabe, which is kinda cute.
  • Is quite funny.
  • Her latex bloomers are FTW!

Geez, so many people are claiming vs Sakura as their easist (sic) win in this thread

I find myself angry and wanting to get a lot better so sakura can get a little more respect around here…
