Sakura

On a chance encounter seeing a Street Fighting match involving Ryu in Japan, Sakura immediately became enamored with the world of Street Fighting. Not only becoming infatuated with Ryu, Sakura also took to learning Street Fighting skills herself, trying to mimic all of Ryu's signature moves. Her goal to meet Ryu and become his student was only half met, as Ryu rejected a role as teacher. However, Sakura continues to push forward in her fighting skills, determined one day to maybe do battle with Ryu himself.

In a nutshell

While many characters in Street Fighter require high dexterity to use, Sakura is unique in that the execution must also be spot on. Sakura is not a character who gets many opportunities during a Round, but the ones she gets can lead to a huge combo that leads to a mix-up which leads to another huge combo which leads to a dizzy which leads to a win. So it's very important to not drop any of your combos. Execution is a must with Sakura, but can reward you with a sequence that can take an opponent from full health to no health just like that.
