Normally, you’d expect a seasoned boxer to handle a schoolgirl quite easily in a fight, but the world of Street Fighter is a miraculous place.
Long known for his helpful Sakura tips and tricks, BGCallisto recently released a brand new video demonstrating a setup she can pull out of her bag of tricks against Balrog in Ultra Street Fighter IV. After launching the Shadaloo associate with her EX Shunpukyaku, the young fighter can create a useful setup by landing a sweep and then immediately using her jab Shouoken to cross over the downed opponent.
Apart from erasing Balrog’s charge, doing this also gives Sakura enough time to recover and block an EX Headbutt as well as stuff other versions of the upward attack with a meaty crouching short.
For a much better explanation of this tactic as well as visual demonstrations, check out BGCallisto’s video below and see what you can pick up.
