SSF4: AE Sakura Kasugano Changes/Buffs

Here is a short video showing some of the changes I've found for Sakura in Arcade Edition. I show mostly normals, but I also cover a bit on the specials.

This was on the fly, so the test dummy fails to show some of the potential. Some combos are character specific, so feel free to test them out on other characters.

If you find any other changes, post them as a video response or as a comment. Also, feel free to post this anywhere you see fit. Just give me a little credit lol. :3

The second and third charge for her fireball is the best zoning tool she has. When your opponent is a certain distance and you know they want to jump in on you, you can charge it and they'll jump into it. It doesn't even really take too long to master. After doing it for a while, you get a knack for it.

@MFCirca You're exactly right. I've started using that against certain characters to punish stuff they would use to punish the fireball, such as Blanka.

about the "new" air shunpukyaku , 1:10 try this combo in the corner cr. hp xx EX shunpukyaku, Air EX Shunpukyaku, ultra 2 (537 dmg, 410 stun)

(if you jump in with hp or hk, it does 571 damage, 587 stun) which is awesome

you can also do it without the EX air Shunpukyaku( just do regular, it should do 2 hits) it does 483 damage 370 stun)

if you jump in does 522 dmg 552 stun

should work on most characters, but smaller ones have a more strict timing

so start with zangief since it's easier

@TheRexblood Is this Rex0r? lol

I'll have to try that. I didn't realize that the new EX Shunpukyaku was so good, until I saw an AE Combo Video. The only time I can see it worth the extra meter is if the opponent will die from it. But, good lookin' out with the info.

@TheRexblood

At least someone knows. Also him saying both charged versions of her hadoken suck already let me know this guy wasn't an experienced Saku player and this vid wouldn't be worth the watch. I watched the whole thing and it seems I was correct. The links he displayed and his opinions have already been disproved by (Uryo "Professional Saku player" tons of vids here)and also myself,he did make an attempt to enlighten others but he should have done it with a character that he knows/main.

@BlacksetEmo I've played Sakura since Vanilla, dude...I've busted my ass trying to get better. Sorry if I missed something.

Her hadoken is a decent zoning tool, but it can't compare with cats like Guile/Gouken. It's great for meaty pressure on wake-up, and for a bit of meter building. Besides, who are you to say I suck? I never claim to be perfect, or even good for that matter.
