Introduction

About Sakura

A college student who recently graduated and now has a job, Sakura is Ryu's pupil.

Sakura is a quick, aggressive rushdown character with a lot of safe attacks. With a quick walk-speed and dash, she can "shimmy" well and keep up the pressure and chase her fireballs. Many of her moves are safe on block, as well, allowing you to safely force your opponent to block. To add on, her light moves can easily convert into big damage, allowing her to punish mistakes very well. If you like to play quick, aggressive characters who can get a lot of opportunities on hit or on block, then Sakura is for you.

Strengths Weaknesses
  • Fast walk speeds: with the fourth fastest forward walk speed in the game and the fastest backward walk speed, Sakura is very good at both walking into her effective ranges vs opponents as well as walking out of opponents attempts to pressure her
  • Smothering offense: Sakura boasts a very potent strike/throw game, with high reward in the form of strong combos with good oki and corner carry, and strong situation post-throw both midscreen and in the corner
  • Stand short: with the longest range 4 frame normal in the game that hits both standing and crouching opponents, Sakura is able to punish many things that most characters can't, such as spaced dash straights from Balrog, E. Honda light headbutt, etc.
  • High damage potential: Sakuras combos are often subject to limited amounts of scaling, allowing her to create high damaging combos
  • Poor oki from lights: while she has strong oki from many of her bnb confirms, midscreen oki from light normals is very limited for her, as her only meterless ender is medium uppercut which gives limited midscreen oki
  • Weak v-meter gain: Sakuras v-skills are often times hard to combo into due to their slow startup, leading to her often needing to build v-meter from crush counters or taking damage

SFV Frame Data Glossary
Active

How many frames a move remains active (can hurt opponents) for.

Attack

Attack level is L for low attacks (must be blocked crouching), H is for High attacks (which can be blocked high or low) and M for overhead (must be blocked standing). T is for throw attacks (which cannot be blocked).

Cancel options

Available cancel options.

  • "ch": Chain cancel, refer to description for options.
  • "sp": Special move.
  • "su": Critical art.
  • "vs[1/2]": V-Skill 1 or 2.
  • "vt[1/2]": V-Trigger 1 or 2 activation.
Confirm windows

Hit confirm windows written as Specials & CAs/Target Combos/V-Trigger. Notation may denote V-Skill only cancel windows in Specials.

  • Refers to the amount of time (in frames) you have to cancel into another move from the moment the attack connects with the opponent.
Crush Counter

Crush Counter hit advantage written as opponent state, frame advantage, and v-gauge gain on hit.

Damage

Attack damage on hit. Notation may denote multi-hit or "sweet spot" damage values on certain frames.

Hit/Block

These are frame advantage values when the attack hits or is blocked. If the number is positive, then the move will end before the defender can act again. If the number is negative, the defender will be able to act before the attacker and maybe even punish. KD refers to knockdown on hit.

  • Note that generally, normal counter hits add an additional +2 to hit advantage in SFV.
Knockdown

Knockdown advantage against Normal, Quick Rise and Back Rise wake up options.

Recovery

How many frames it takes for a move to finish after it's been active.

Startup

How many frames it takes before the move becomes 'active' or have a hit box. The last startup frame and the first active frame are the same frame, meaning all values are written as Startup + 1.

Stun

Amount of stun added to the opponent's stun bar on hit.

This 1st hit builds 30/15 V-Gauge on hit/block
Cancels into the follow-up punches can be delayed up to 17 frames after hitting with the initial punch
Block advantage and KDA varies depending on how high/low the punch lands
If the punch connects on the last possible frame before landing, Sakura will immediately land instead of bouncing up again (this allows for alternative follow-up juggles to be possible and greatly increases the KDA)
The KDA in the parentheses (X) refers to the KDA when the punch is delayed to the last frame so Sakura lands immediately

Shifts back 1.09 range
Fully invincible on frames 1-9 during which time any strike or projectile evaded will trigger a slow-motion effect on frame 11 for both players
Immediately gains full invincibility for the full duration of V-Shift if you successfully evade a strike or projectile on start-up frames 1-9
Throw invincible on frames 1-16 on an empty / raw V-Shift
Counter-Hit state on frames 10-31 on an empty / raw V-Shift
Opponent can still cancel the attack that was V-Shifted as if it had connected (this allows for a lot of shenanigans)
Costs 300 V-Gauge (1 bar) to use and refunds 150 V-Gauge back (1/2 bar) on a successful V-Shift if the slow-mo is triggered
If the V-Shift is successful you can cancel it into a follow-up attack (see V-Shift Break) that's fully invincible and knocks the opponent down on hit
