Counter Fireball Onslaughts with Sakura in Ultra Street Fighter IV

There are few things more frustrating than fighting against an exceptional zoner and lacking the knowledge to avoid damage while still getting in range to land a hit of your own. Whether they make optimal use of well-placed normals or stick purely to the fireball approach, this situation can sour even the most casual session. With that in mind, it’s important to know how to deal with the plasma once it starts flying.

Most characters have a handful of options when it comes to dealing with projectiles, but Sakura may have the most, due simply to the amount of attacks she has with long periods of invulnerability as well as the angles of approach that she can take. In the video below, shano explores all of the fighter’s options for turning fireballs into huge damage opportunities.

Many of these options will be obvious to more experienced players, but shano has included some things, like a full screen kara-canceled EX Tatsu, that may not be part of everyone’s current game plan. New Sakura players should definitely check it out.
