block first then fa. free hit and even someone slower like me can do it cause the second kick is so slow.LakeEarth said:

lk Wheel kick in between is my favorite punishment for Guiles Sweep.
Timedog said:block a lot. don't do link combos. learn to punish their dp's after you block.
ken's ldp's have a very fast recovery time, so if you don't punish IMMEDIATELY, he'll dp again and hit you if you're not blocking.
Not picking fei long will make things less frustrating as well
I'm kinda getting fustrated too. (i'm kinda new to it too it) Is Sakura just a hard character to pwn with or am I just sucking lately? :lol srsly
Cromulent_Word said:
A good guile will just sweep again if it's not a level 2 FA and knock you down. His sweep recovers quick and he can hit you again before you recover from the FA. The timing for getting a level 2 FA and releasing it before the 2nd part of the sweep hits you is hard. I think it's a few frames.
This is with Ryu at least. If some characters focus attacks charge quicker than this is a non point.

Yeah, if you're finding Sakura frustrating, you definitely don't want to try Viper. You'll spend at least a few weeks getting your ass kicked when you first start using her.
I have my PPP and KKK mapped to single buttons. Sometimes, when I go for an EX move by pressing the button (the PPP in particular), it doesn't register and instead, a regular move comes out (and yes, I have some EX meter). It really pisses me off and often times, it's at really critical during in a match.
Is there something wrong with my controller or is this a bug? I've noticed that it happens if you press the PPP button right after you've pressed another button. But in my case, it happens sometimes when I've ONLY just done the directional input + PPP

So I've decided it's impossible to link an EX Gadouken -> FADC -> Hard Punch.
Sigh le sigh, it seems the right directional input on my fightpad is becoming kinda iffy now. It doesn't register 20-30% of the time, which is causing me pains on online matches (backdash? DP input? what's that?).
Looks like I just gotta bite the bullet and start leveling up my stick play. :/

When my other fightpad started to go out.. i bought another like the same day.. I started to freak out ;pArde5643 said:
I need to get use to stick though.
My fightpad works sometimes and sometimes it'll freak out. Sometimes it'll be impossible to dash, my guy just keeps stuttering and inching forward. Sometimes I'll hold down and i'll start crouching up and down really fast. Sometimes I'll press forward or backward once and I'll get a dash, this sucks when i'm trying to do a fireball or specific move to punish someone. Downback and downforward don't register sometimes. I go into training mode, turn on inputs, and do special moves, and unless I do it slow, sometimes certain directions won't register and it'll fuck me up despite I'M ROLLING MY FUCKING FINGER FROM DOWN TO FORWARD ALL THE WAY ALONG THE EDGE OF THE FUCKING DPAD THERE'S NO FUCKING WAY I'M MISSING THESE FIREBALLS. QUIT STARING UP AT ME FROM THE CONTROLLER WITH THAT GRIN ON YOUR FACE KEN.
Fuck madcatz. I might still get a TE stick only cause there's nothing else on 360 (and it's moddable).

some of those new costumes on PC are really good. im more curious about the connection quality though. gonna have to do a few test matches these days.
Alrighty, it is about time I say hello here : )
I have been lurking here with my unactivated account for quite some time now, and since the February release, I have put 400+ hours and 4k+ online matches into this game. Frankly, I love it, I never felt the chance to be good and be at a competitive level in a fighting game before (okay, maybe in Soul Calibur IV, but at that game, it was really hard to just randomly bump into good players online). I am still a beginner of course, and have a long way to go before I will be considered "good", I know.
I main Viper since the beginning, and my first month looked like everyone was trashing me to 10-1 or 10-0, and it really felt like I have a lot, a lot to learn. Now I can stand up on my own, and winning ratio is starting to get above 50% - so the hard work payed off a bit : )
So: if anyone in Europe (i usually have 5 bars against Germany players, 4 against France/UK with really no slowdown present) wants to play against a C.Viper (I play occasionally Rose, Ryu, Akuma, Sakura and Chun Li too), practice, spar or just test the skills, feel free to add me.

Oh, and a few months ago, I have had the honor of playing MicVlad, and he showed me a Demonic Dhalsim - it was awesome.

Sakura's biggest drawback is the laughable hp. She's fun to use and you could dominate 90% of the round but one mistake and your health is gone. I mean you could even see that in Sabre's godly Sakura at evo.
Actually the previous disscusion on who's better Dan or Sakura isn't so obvious to me. Dan has lesser combo ability, but due to larger hp/stamina he can live longer. That's a big factor.
You'll see a Dan tournament winner someday, you'll see.

Sakura has 1000 health(average health), well above Chun, Viper, Akuma, Sim, and Seth, etc. . .
DR2K said:
And not just that, but Sakura has tools to keep enemies in the distance (like a projectile which actually travels trough the screen, unlike Dan's), and with her speed, it makes her well above Dan. Sure, she has some tough matchups, but with the exception of Sagat, who does not?

Yeah, I'm fairly certain it was proven to be sub-1k.
McBradders said:
Sakura has 950 stamina. Just like Cammy and Rose.
V_Arnold said:
Her moves don't do all that much damage, and her special moves are really punishable.
Also her 950 stamina means you start every match against a 1000 stamina character with a 5% health handicap.
Dan still seems better to me.

Her roundhouse sweep is also fucking garbage.
sakura has some good tools...cr fp is a really good aa..her jumping rh has a very werid hitbox and will trade or flat out beat alot of moves, even some that 'look' like it shouldn't..she has a really quick overhead and some good pokes (cr fk, st rh)..special wise the recovery on her short shunpukyaku is very quick..her fireball is weaksauce but her DP is great for punishing baited sweeps and fairly easy to combo into..she also has one of the best FA's in the game..and her ultra is actualy not that hard to land..the problem most people have when playing sakura is that they try to play her like a regular shoto..her DP is a very unreliable AA that will whiff half the time..and her fireball is nowhere near good enough to zone with..instead its better to poke and bait from sweep. distance.use cr fp exclusively as an AA..throw often and remember you arent playing ryu

How is the PC version for online action? My pc makes the old benchmark demo look amazing and I was given a Logitek controller for the pc which has a lovely dpad (own 360 pads for 360 and pc already) so it seems it's worth me buying it for pc then for cheap on 360 now.
Can someone remind me if the pc version uses windows live or not?

I play bison only (although I got to 9k Gp using blanka)
My bison is kind of scrubby as I made the switch to him after about 180hours of blanka play. always keen to try some other players out in player match as well.

Excellent, when PC versions carry live achievements I like to buy it over the console version. Still £17.99 on amazon so I will grab it when I can spare the money.ArjanN said:
You can get it for 12 quid if you purchase a CD-key from G2Play or somewhere like that, and then you just need to borrow a copy of the game, you'll need a no-cd to play online, but it works flawlessly.
So tempted to order a TE stick from Amazon, they've got them for £99.99, I'm terribly at the game but having a good stick would be nice, and for any future arcade titles on the PC.

i noticed Sabre didn't really go for Ultra after the EX Tastu in the evo stream, i guess because it does so little damage?

I also find her jump/crouch MK to be very useful. Comes out quick and can combo pretty well, although the range is a little short, and the damage on its own isn't the greatest... like just about everything else she has.
I'm now having a different problem than I was the other night: Charge characters. Every one I've fought has been ultra defensive (to be expected). Boxer hasn't been too hard, really, but Blanka and Dictator have been kicking my ass nonstop =/
Finally encountered an Abel player last night... that wasn't fun. I literally couldn't do a damned thing. Block? Command throw. Try to jump to avoid something? Wheel Kick or anti-air throw. Try to mix up the high/low? Three part special that's 2 hits + throw at the end. Ugh.
On the plus side, my Madcatz pad SHOULD arrive today, so I can stop using the shitbag 360 Analog to play the game. No more EX Tatsu instead of Ultras, costing me a round!

he did in his earlier match... the one before valle... and whiffed it_dementia said:
I read the comments abou Sakura and thanks for the info. Yeah, I usually go online and then see what I was doing wrong in practice. A combo I like to do is her EX Shun PuuKyaku>Sakura Otoshi. I just have to set it up right.
True, I usually face Kens online and it doesn't matter how many times I block a Shouken, I WILL get hit with that shit somehow how some way.
f.hk, alrite. lol Anything that helps is good.
Yesterday, I was facing a Balrog....I think the guys reach is like comparable to Sakura's height. It was a like corner slaughtering. :lol Not a good matchup.

I HATE the crossup kick, roll back otherside, launch air grab that some dude did repeatedly to me.
I'm such a sucker for his launcher, which reallly burns when he' got ultra stocked.
