Strategies

Learn how to use the "Shouoken". This attack can block most projectile moves, and can be used in the air.

Dark Sakura is very good and can do tons of damage with her Hadouken super. However, getting three levels without dying is a problem for her. If you want to build levels to become Evil, sj rh xx Shunpuu Kyaku works pretty well and is hard to catch.
