I recognize that for raw damage, U1 is good, but U2 is a check to a lot of opponents...... it gives you more options to escape sticky situations. Recently a lot of my matches have been won due to solid footsies more than being able to get meaty combo opportunities every time, and in that aspect, I like U2. Also, U2 does good chip damage.
U2 is better even though less damage easier to combo into.
also if you got opponent at the wall you can reversal by ex.SRK and then U2 this deals a ton of damge.
or you could be fancy and do a awsome combo that ends in lp.SRK -> U2. i use to be a U1 until i found how useful it could be it saved me many times in a fight.
U2 just doesnt do any dmg,..you mite as wel reset or jump smash and get the meter off it...U1 is very easy to land because ex shun is so easy to combo into so deres no need for MORE comboability
@rapidkid11 In corner, if you do a hp - ex.tatsu - MEATY shouken - Tenjou Hado. The meaty shouken will give it an extra 60 dmg rather than just ultra after ex.tats.
@amigdala85 I think he is trying to say U2 opens up more option. You can combo into U2 using ex SRK but you can't using U1 (according to him). I see Uryo experimenting with U2 too, anti crossup, interesting option for certain matchup.
I used to choose U2 because I ust can't land U1 consistently, now I'm using U1 most of the time:)
@amigdala85 Wake up U2 is a great anti air and beats tons of high/top tier character's crossups. It's perfect against Zangief, Cammy, Rufus, C.Viper, El Fuerte, Akuma, etc... It's an amazing tool and it does more damage in the corner/mid if you hp - ex.tatsu - MEATY lk. shou - tenjouU2corner/ U2mid(certain char), does about over 450 i believe i forgot.
@trunksbrief1 the only 1 framer in this combo was lkTatsu->cHP...the rest is easy with little training.but YES,1 frame links,i plink.with my pad its not so hard to do :)
8/10 it works.and if not-Tatsu is nearly save on block ;)
idk im a fan of ultra2 over ultra for sak. been playing her since vanilla and i see as vegas ultra2 a get out of jail kinda free card. alleviates wake up pressure, either completely or trades or shut down some characters options on blockstun and can mess with your opponent for fireball wars fullscreen if they dont know her recovery but regardless no one plays sak for her ultra game
@amigdala85 hey if light tatsu pressure was it apart of this it would be 16 steps to improve your sakura. And I'm just saying. Not trying to get in an argument with anybody.
Why so serious? I play with Sakura and didnt missed the inputs : \ If u know her game u dont need inputs imho, Sakura doesnt have a IAD like Cammy or IBK like C.Viper, so i think there's no need to inputs to be shown. Besides, he explained everything u need to know about the improvement "tips".
Amigdala, gr8 video i really liked it! Gonna put ur stuff into my game ;) Thanks!
Make the font bigger, keep the text on the screen longer, and use proper English. It's hard enough trying to read your mess of "U ave got 2 FADC!!!!!" but then it's only on screen for about half the time it takes to read it.
You clearly know your Sakura game, but lots of people are going to be turned off by your presentation.
only saw the first minute of this and i'm already liking it.
next step is to upgrade my pc so i can play a little harder lol...

just a point on ur idea about U1
U2 is better even though less damage easier to combo into.
also if you got opponent at the wall you can reversal by ex.SRK and then U2 this deals a ton of damge.

@KyouSuteki ehm "...easier to combo into..." no meant to be rude,but u can keep on playing for fun a little.
doin less dmg,only cause its easier to land other things is...well...not good.
U2 isnt shit..but way not so good as U1. i can land U1 everytime FULL..and in corner u can land it too.so i dont get ur point.
maybe im wrong.but it makes no sense to me

You can always just pause the video... and about "proper English" - judging from the game screen he appears to be German, give the man a break ;) .
I do agree that the potential is there, nice.
