The increased speed of Shouoken is very nice. Enables her to punish things on block she couldn't before, like Birdie's V-Trigger Bull Heads or G's sweep at max range.
When you're in front of the opponent if you do a standing mp and hold back you can move back slightly so the opponent can't reach with a standing light or crouching light depending on the match up. Good for corner pressure.
Sakura is a bit faster in general, but i dont see to much of a difference. She has some new combos i dont get used to do them and i dont see any benefit either. I wonder what really means those "Eased combo" in Vt1 hadouken because i didnt discover anything new.
Haha! That interaction you guys had with Blanka's 5MP @ 1:21 is a nice accidental find! I didn't know his 5MP has forward shifting collision boxes on frame 1. Remember, Capcom started systematically removing all of those after people complained about the "Counter-Hit Pushback" as they coined in in SFV. It's something that exists in every FG, but Capcom actually started removing it on frame 1 of every button in the game. I wasn't aware that Blanka's 5MP had it. Blanka was released quite a bit after Capcom removed hundreds of these. Probably something they overlooked. But it's pretty neat tech for Blanka players, I bet. ;-)
@ 4:45 Waitasec. Crouching strong no longer two in ones to strong Shouoken? I'm going to have to lab that. I was getting it just awhile ago. It's not a link for sure but I know it was two in oneing. Uh, if that's even a word. :3
Thanks! It may not seem like much but I feel Sakua was undervalued to begin with and now, especially with Akuma part deux in the hizzy, we'll take anything we can get! :)
I think she was really bad, but that being said really bad in this game is not as huge as it is in other fighting games. Vega is still probably the worst character but he still can do things and actually functions as a character. Hoping to see good things from Sakura and then i'll complain when she beats me XD
On paper it's hard to tell. We do know she was buffed well. But we needs to see pros use her in tournaments. That'll be the best way to judge her. I don't thinks she top tier, tho. She's somewhere around 10-15. That's good enough to be viable, and in the right hands, she can destroy some people.
Before anyone says a character is trash tier, go to CFN, search for the highest ranked player of that character (main) Watch their ranked match replay(s)
I've been playing with her for the past two weeks in casual matches, and I can barely touch anyone in a match because of her pathetic range for normal attacks. The only ways to approach seem so fucking telegraphed, I might as well have her pull up her skirt and show her bloomers to the enemy.
@@ibetterbeinstreetsofrage4s328 if you play noobs only..yes you will have fun. All of the cast out footsies her. And out damages her. If you enjoy losing and it's fun to you because of a bad character she's all good. If you play at a basic level with friends and family members why are we even having this wasteful talk button mash with whoever you like.

Thanks y'all! Been waiting for this one

I think she got some good stuff this season

falke st.lk does the same too.
@@agseba124 You sure? I don't see any collision box extension on frame 1. Not during any of startup frames either.
Sakura Hogasho..drains her VT1 gauge now..I can't be annoying anymore with it.. But I'm glad she received these buffs.
I feel like she can combo and mix up more then or easier then ryu ken and akuma without using meter

Is it me or Sakura has very low damage? Her anti air damage is balls.
Stubby normals, short combos, low damage. Welp. The only thing in favor of her is that she has the fastest dash in the roster.
@@Laerei bullshit her dash is 16f while rashid and ken are 15f
@@coldspine2490 Well at least she has the fastest walk speed... Capcom pls
she has good dmg with vt.
@@agseba124 she has low damage.

The reason why I like sakura is bc she looks like baki
is she useable i stopped playing because she was so horrible
She won't be in any top 16's or 8's. A waste of time to invest in her.
@@darkwing5458 i ain't worried about her showing up in any tournaments i wanna know is she fun to play again like in 4

@@darkwing5458 every time I match all of the buttons at the same time I activate V trigger and lose
Capcom doesn't want any character to be op so stop whining
How and why is Karin so much better than her
