S.LK: Many Sakura fans literally worship this button. But, she does have some incredible buttons and we’ll be looking at some of them. One of the things that you could consider a weakness with Sakura is her lack of rangy normals. You might have to get creative when getting in on an opponent especially one with good fireballs, but her nimble nature makes this a surmountable problem. Her variety of safe buttons make her a favorite for players who love to press buttons and smother opponents leaving them with little to no room to move or play. Her speed also means she has potent shimmies that can lead to very high-damaging combos. Using Sakura, your aim will be to get your opponent in the corner and play the strike/throw mental game with them until they break. Sakura’s fireball game is not as strong, therefore, she isn’t as well-suited for a long-range game like Guile. She is able to confirm into a range of combos thanks to this move and also cause some decent damage. She has a long-reaching normal (stand short) that is a nightmare for many players. Sakura’s walk speed enables her to get across the screen with ease and she’s able to hit opponents and cause them to panic. ![]() Sakura’s speed is one of her biggest advantages and it also forms the basis of her playstyle. Sakura is a character for players who love an aggressive style of play and enjoy the 50/50 guessing game that frustrates so many people. Sakura is a great character with great buttons and nimble footing. In one of her interactions with Ryu, she asks whether the life of fighting is ideal and if Ryu would consider a family to which Ryu responded that he considered that as another type of strength. Her fixation on the game’s main character is almost obsessive as she mirrors all her fighting style and philosophies on him.Īs at Street Fighter V, Sakura was seen as an older character now in college and questioning the path of a Street Fighter. Lore-wise, little is known about Sakura’s childhood and background save for her status as a high school student and one with enough resources to travel around the world searching for her mentor, Ryu. Nowadays, she is one of those more niche characters to play and is somewhere in the middle of the Street Fighter tier list, but is being played by some notable players including ChrisCCH, Nauman, and Space boy. ![]() She returned in Street Fighter IV and V and has become a popular character in the game. Sakura first appeared in Street Fighter Alpha 2 as another shoto character with moves comparable to Ryu and Ken even if a bit more watered down.
