Yoshi Paradise
Sakura is my favorite Street Fighter character.

She has some of the coolest moves.

NASA
finally found out her surname

Yoshi Paradise
I choosed her in every game in which she was playable.

Your G.O.D
It's a surprise that a thread for her was just made, now. She shoulda had a respect thread along time ago.

I think sakura paved the way for school girls in fightin games (wasn't she the first?)...props to sakura for that.

I like to play as Sakura cuz she's got a pretty good balance except that she's faster then Ryu but you can tell that she's got a lil ways to go cuz her special moves leave her horribly open for attack worst then any other Ansatsuken character. I think Sakura has the 2nd best Shoryuken (Ken's 1st) it's only down side is that she has no invincibility on it, some times she literally runs into attacks although her MVC Shouken was the shit, that move was almost unstoppable, she could run through anything that took off less damage then the her Shouken.

I like Sakura cuz she wasn't the stereotypical fast but weak chick in fightin games...she was a girl that had good combos and dish out real damage.

Her Vism was nasty...in Dramatic Battle mode, if you picked 2 Sakuras with Vism, you could do 99 hit combo. It works like a charm.

Ozone
smile Sakura is the best.

Whenever Sakura was in a game, there was a high chance that I would choose her.

It's cool how, on certain games, you can do her shoryuken in mid-air.

Blax_Hydralisk
Her shoryuken is awesome, watching her do it in the movie was funny.

Ozone
Could you post a video of her shoryuken from the movie?

Blax_Hydralisk
Can't find it.

Yoshi Paradise
That's too bad.

I wanted to see her shoryuken from the movie, too.

Blax_Hydralisk
It's cool, I remember. It's seen from like looking through a sniper rifle scope.

here's a youtube MK/SF AMV. They show her doing it at around 1:50, so skip there if you don't wanna watch the whole thing.

DQt5Vnh29-Y

Yoshi Paradise
Yeah, it was pretty cool in that video.

I really hope that Sakura is in Street Fighter IV.

Joker1237
She was cool. Not as cool as Cammy though.

She was a faster, but less stronger version of Ryu. Game play wise Sakura has nearly eveything over Ryu, one of Ryu's main weakness was SPEED, and Sakura had that in tons.

Yoshi Paradise
Yeah, Sakura was a very fast character.

The Cap'n
Fast, and sexy.

Yoshi Paradise
There's nothing wrong with having a crush on a video game character as long as he/she is human.

Your G.O.D
So if you had a crush on Blanka it would be okay, he's human.

Btw, I liked Sakaura's endings, they were good.

Yoshi Paradise
Blanka is a monster.

He was human.

Neo Darkhalen
Some people have crushes on aliens, and even Nobodies.

Yoshi Paradise
Anyway, Sakura is such a good character.

Basically, she's a female version of Ryu.

Superboy Prime
Sakura was so cute.

Its actually cool how she just emulates Ryu's style.

For the record Sakura has beaten Karim.

Sakura better be in Street Fighter IV.

Joker1237
Hope she is, SFIII was a let down. No Sakura, no Cammy, No Guile, No Zang, No Vega???

Yoshi Paradise
I never played Street Fighter III before.

Anyway, I just hope that Sakura is in Street Fighter IV.

Your G.O.D
Originally posted by Yoshi Paradise

You should, It's the best non crossover 2D fighter to date, imo.

Yoshi Paradise
Which system is it for?

Your G.O.D
Playstation 2, X Box, Dreamcast

Yoshi Paradise
Well, I have a Playstation 2.

I'll have to rent it in the future.

Joker1237
Come on, SFIII suck. I dont know why people say its the best out of the SF series?? Most of the "New" fighters are just plain rip offs of popular older fighters.

No Balrog??
Well we have a boxer butler.

No Cammy. Ok Elene is close right??

No Zangie?? Well Hugo fights just like him.

Do I need to keep going?? Yin and Yang are like lamer versions of Ryu and Ken. And most of the newer fighters could not even buy a beer in the USA. Most of em range from 13-16 perhaps.

Only Hugo, Ryu, Ken, Chun Li and the boss were the only adults in the game. No I dont count the robots.

Yoshi Paradise
Who were the robots?

Joker1237
I forgot, Nercio X or something like that. He was a pretty poor fighter though. Game play wise, forgot what the other one was.

But I relly dont see the praise SFIII gets is all.

SF1, SF Alpha series, and SF II were great games. I just think they drop the ball with III is all.

Yoshi Paradise
I just hope that Street Fighter IV doesn't have a bunch a new characters that are rip-offs of the notable characters.

Joker1237
I think SF4 is going to be great. The intro was amazing.

Yoshi Paradise
True.

Sakura should be in this game because she's my favorite character.

Joker1237
She is up there.

Cammy is number 1, than Sakura follows. Vega after that. Than I suppose Ryu and Ken. Guile and Charles and Chun Li.

Thsos are my top favor fighters right there.
Oh yeah and Cammy's win pose out does Sakura's by a mile in Alpha lol.

Yoshi Paradise
The characters that I hope are in this game are Sakura, Sagat, and Chun-Li.

I'm sure that Chu-Li is going to be in this game because she's one of the main representatives of the Street Fighter franchise.

Joker1237
Ryu, Ken and Chun Li have front row seats. Its a giving that they be there.

The others are a bit iffy,

I think, I hope Cammy makes it. I think I give it 85 percent shot she is in the game.

I would loved to see Guile come back. He was cool.

Not sure if Vega will return. He did come back for the EX series. So I think he has a great chance.

Yoshi Paradise
I'm pretty sure that Sakura is a popular characer because she has similar attacks to another popular character: Ryu.

Joker1237
I hope she makes it.
Than again Capcom might do what they did in SFIII and off them.

Yoshi Paradise
They better not.

Ozone
Sakura better be in this game.

The only reason why I plan on getting this game is because I'm hoping that Sakura, Sagat, or Dee Jay is in it.

Yoshi Paradise
I just hope Sakura's in it.

Violent2Dope
Gouki is easily my fave. Sakura should be in it tho.

Yoshi Paradise
Sakura needs to be in this game.

I'm pretty sure that she'll be a little older, though.

Violent2Dope
With bigger bewbs. 131

Yoshi Paradise
Plus, she'll be stronger and faster.

Violent2Dope
And better technique. And stuffs. With more defined leg muscles, ala Chun-Li.

Yoshi Paradise
Yeah, she'll have a little more muscle all over her body.

Joker1237
Like Ryu and Ken. She must have been takeing the special "Shot". lol

Yoshi Paradise
I doubt she was as desperate as Ryu and Ken.

She likes to train the natural way.

Joker1237
Still cant belive Ryu and Ken got buff up though. I pretty sure they were juice. They had muscles comeing out of there toe nails lol.

They give Arnie a run for his money in body building contest.

Yoshi Paradise
That's the magic of steroids.

Violent2Dope
Lol, that's just UDON artwork dude.

Yoshi Paradise
no expression I know that.

Violent2Dope
My sig is also UDON artwork, but Pyron has always been that buff. 313

Yoshi Paradise
I don't see much of Pyron's muscles in that signature.

Violent2Dope
Not even his arching back muscles? 131

Yoshi Paradise
His head is in the way.

Sol Valentine

He's made of cosmic fire, not transparent.

Pyron isn't as buff as Venom from the Marvel universe. 313

You don't have any pictures to prove it.

My picture of Venom showcased his chiseled body while your picture of Pyron showed just a big mass of fire with squiggly lines.

Face it: Venom is more muscular than Pyron.

cool He has the abs to prove it.

Getting back on topic...

I wonder if Karin will accompany Sakura in Street Fighter IV...

Yoshi Paradise
I hope Sakura keeps here aerial shoryuken.

It's a cool move.

Violent2Dope
Yeah, she was like Ken, good with the Shoryuken.

Yoshi Paradise
With the exception of power, she was better than Ken.

Violent2Dope
Yeah, I preffered her over Ken as well. Her only real downside is that her Hadouken didn't go far.

Yoshi Paradise
That's true.

At least she was able to charge it up.

Violent2Dope
Yep. I'm gonna post a few pics of her as well now:

Yoshi Paradise
"Pocari Sweat"?

Sol Valentine
Pocari Sweat is probably a Japanese beverage, or just a made up beverage for picture's sake.

Yoshi Paradise
I wonder how it tastes...

Joker1237
Like Sweat I guess lol.

Yoshi Paradise
She wouldn't be that desperate for a drink.

I'm sure that it's some kind of energy drink.

Joker1237
IF your fighting, you get thristy, and if you get so thristy, you drink about any thing.

Yoshi Paradise
I doubt that.

Would you drink your bodily fluids?

Violent2Dope
Originally posted by Yoshi Paradise

Yoshi Paradise
Something tells me that you like licking yourself on a hot day...

Joker1237
just guessing is all.

If I had a cherry soda, it better taste like cherry.

If my drink said Sweat juice, It better taste like that or I get em for fraud.

Yoshi Paradise
Okay.

Ozone
Sakura is too cool to drink sweat from the box.

Anyway, she was in a game called "Rival Schools".

I wish I could play it.

Joker1237
I belive that was a comic, not a game.

Violent2Dope
It's also a game.

Yoshi Paradise
Yeah, "Rival Schools" is a game, too.

I think it's on the Playstation.

Joker1237
Ps1, try Ebay lol.

Thats were I pick up a good condition of MK4 for the PS1. lol.

how is the loaded time in that game?? I recall the ps1 games for the most parts had bad loaded times.

Yoshi Paradise
I never played "Rival Schools" before.

Violent2Dope
Neither have I.

Yoshi Paradise
I saw some screenshots of it.

Joker1237
show them screen shots lol.

Yoshi Paradise
I forgot where I saw them.

Ozone
Sakura better be in Street Fighter IV.

Yoshi Paradise
Which ones?

Violent2Dope
Which ones what? MK characters? Most of them. They are slow as hell.

Yoshi Paradise
Speed isn't that important in Mortal Kombat games.

Violent2Dope
That's because everyone is slow in them. Duh lol.

Yoshi Paradise
I know that. wink

Joker1237
Originally posted by Yoshi Paradise

Were are these MK fighters are slow?? Sure in MK1 they were slow, but there speed were even in MKII with SFII.

Than MK3 and UMK took speed(In fighting games) to a whole new level with the run button. Which relly made em FASTER than the Street fighters, you can run up, do a combo, and knock em back in a blink of a eye.

Violent2Dope
In the cutscenes, MK characters are SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW.

Joker1237
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SoutBimBy44

All cutscenes are slow lol. Even the SF4 movie was pretty slow.

Yoshi Paradise
Getting back on topic...

To be honest, when I first saw Sakura in a Street Fighter game, I thought she was Ryu's sister. laughing out loud

Joker1237
She is just a fan, She needs to get a new hobby. There are pleny of other people to amire than besides Ryu. She needs to look up to Chun Li or Cammy. And try to copy there moves lol.

Ozone
Cammy's moves are too boring to copy.

Chun li could work.

Joker1237
Cammy's moves boring? What about the cool flips, the amazing cannon strike? I mean Cammy is one of the BETTER cool looking fighters with out projecttiles.

Yoshi Paradise
How would Sakura imitate Cammy's moves?

How would they look?

Joker1237
Pretty cool lol. Not sure how she copy Cammy's moves(How could she copy Ryu's lol)

I guess have some one program the sprite and your done.

Yoshi Paradise
It's easier to imitate Ryu's moves because they can be altered.

Neo Darkhalen
Maybe.
