yuri vs sakura

its time for the karate girls to face each other

How good is Yuri? We know Sakura is a fighting prodigy. I will say, Yuri is easily the best character, besides young Geese, to come out of AOF, imo.

If Sakura can grab and pull off Yuri's sash, she stands a chance.

Capcom praised Sakura abilities, telling us about his talent.

During SF Alpha 3, they stated that her ability to manipulate ki was at the same levels of Ken's.

As far as I know, SNK never praised Yuri's abilities. And during the first Art of Fighting, IIRC she didn't have a proper training yet (Takuma teached the kyokugen karate between AOF1 and AOF2).

I think Sakura wins.
