Introduction

Sakura once more seeks out her idol Ryu so she can challenge him again. Over the course of her journey, she became friends with Dan and Blanka and gained a few new rivals under the names of Karin and Maki.

Pros	Cons
One of the most oppressive characters on the ground and very difficult to outfootsie s. RH and b. FP are two of the best pokes in the entire game b. FP is a do everything normal that covers practically the entire vertical space in front of her and is cancellable to boot. c. FP is a god anti-air that combos into jab DP Her guard crush potential is one of the highest in the game due to b. FP strings and s. RH being as good as it is Both her fierce jump-ins have incredibly high priority and are difficult to anti-air consistently Easily confirmable BnBs into fierce DP Probably the best cross-up period in the game with j. MK The most dangerous cross-up loop in the game that's incredibly hard to block and can easily result in stun. Entire rounds have been won off a single sweep with her Activate allows her to set up legitimate fireball traps, despite her lack of an invincible DP Good meter build at the end of VCs, meaning she will almost never be without at least 50% bar Wake-up tatsu can be used to partially escape cross-ups Is shorter than she appears and can walk under certain moves. One of the most popular characters due to her strength, versatility and relative ease of use.	Tatsus are all very unsafe on block unlike A2 and CvS2 No meterless reversal options No invincible DP also means she can't quite abuse her activates the way Akuma can
