Capcom vs SNK/EX Sakura

From SuperCombo Wiki

Introduction

A life-long quest to travel the world resulted in Sakura learning Ryu's fighting style, the Ansatsuken, from Dan Hibiki. It is clear by all accounts that Sakura is a much more competent fighter than Dan, and even has the ability to throw fireballs much further than he could. Despite this, it's clear Sakura doesn't mind Dan promoting her as the star pupil of him, so long as she gets closer to Ryu.

EX Sakura plays much more like the Sakura most people remember, as her specials now have their Alpha properties. Normal Sakura is worth a look if you want a different-style Sakura, though.

Normal / EX Moves Changelist

Moves EX Sakura gains:

  • A brand new super, her Midare Zakura.
  • Two new command normals; those being her j.HK and her cr.MP from the Street Fighter Alpha series

Moves EX Sakura loses:

  • No divekick
  • No more followups on her Tatsus.
  • No more s.HP. Normal Sakura's cl.HP is now Sakura's st.HP instead

Moves changed between Normal and EX Sakura:

  • Her fireball is now an actual projectile, that she can charge.
  • Her DP now travels in the air
  • Tatsus knock down now, and can be done in the air.
  • HK Tatsu goes higher with EX Sakura than with Normal Sakura.

Exclusive to EX Sakura. Cancels on hit whenever, goes about as far as her cr.LK, hits low, does more damage. Looks like a mid move so you can throw people off.

Special Moves

Big fireball at max charge.
Version Cancel Properties Guard Startup Frames Total Frames Adv. Hit Adv. Block
No Charge - Mid - - - -
Small Charge - Mid - - - -
Full Charge - Mid - - - -

Fireball. Mashing punch allows Sakura to charge up her fireball. The more charged your fireball is, the bigger and more damaging it'll be, but not only will it take longer to throw out (due to the charging) but it will also last shorter. No charge travels fullscreen, light charge travels midscreen, and a fully-charged one basically never leaves Sakura's hands. All versions are safe on block.

DP. Light verson does one hit, heavy version does 5 hits, and starts with a run if not up close. Light version leaves you in perfect position to juggle your opponent with a super. Heavy version can juggle into a super as well, though it'd have to connect as a very far, and very high anti air. Both versions travel horizontally, meaning her anti-air capabilities up close are more limited with this move.


Shunpuu Kyaku

CvS1Sakura Tatsu.jpg

Sakura's Tatsu. No followups unlike regular Sakura, but EX Sakura's tatsus now knock down. In addition, EX Sakura's heavy version of her tatsu arcs higher, and she does 3 reps of her Tatsu instead of 2.

Air tatsu. Does less damage than a regular tatsu, but can be done in the air. This can alter her jump trajectory as well. Can be Tigerknee'd to give Sakura a shorter jump (done by inputting 2147+K)

Super fireball. Lv.1 version does 3 hits, Lv.2 does 4, Lv.3 does 5. Cannot block on reaction to a Level 2 and Level 3 super fireball up close. Progressively loses hits the further along the screen it goes. Same capabilities as her normal version, so this version largely gets unused in juggles compared to Regular Sakura.

Lk.png - Low - - - -

K.pngK.png - Low - - - -

A series of spinning low kicks ending with her kicking her opponent away. Lv.1 version does 5 hits, Lv.2 does 6, Lv. 3 does 7. Level 2 and Level 3 versions cannot be blocked on reaction, useful as all but the final hits are low. Despite the different name, this isn't really different from regular Sakura's 214214K, with the only difference being the ender.

Exclusive to EX Sakura, it's Sakura's spin on the Shoryureppa. The Lv. 1 version does 4 hits, Lv. 2 version does 6 hits and her Lv. 3 version does 9 hits. Level 2 and Level 3 versions cannot be blocked on reaction. This is her highest damaging super by far, and it's much more compatiable with juggles than her super fireball. All versions can juggle off her Shoryukens and, in the corner, can juggle off fireballs and aerial tatsus. A useful super to have, especially in Red Health mode.

If you're feeling dangerous, you can also do this after a really deep anti-air on her s.HP, cl.HK or cr.HP. These moves can cover Sakura's deadzone on her Anti-Air Shou'oukens, and they work not only midscreen, but they can be done in all versions of her Midare super, meaning that EX Sakura gains even more benefits out of Red Health. Just make sure you don't hit them too early, or they'll air-reset and fall out.
