Sakura is my favorite Street Fighter character.

She has some of the coolest moves.

finally found out her surname

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

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.

🙂 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.

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

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

Can't find it.

That's too bad.

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

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.

YouTube video

Yeah, it was pretty cool in that video.

I really hope that Sakura is in Street Fighter IV.

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.

Yeah, Sakura was a very fast character.

Fast, and sexy. [A crush on a video game character, you say? Pity...]

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

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

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

Blanka is a monster.

He was human.

Some people have crushes on aliens, and even Nobodies.

Anyway, Sakura is such a good character.

Basically, she's a female version of Ryu.
