Want to learn how to play Sakura but don't know where to start? Confused by all the combo videos and waffle? Don't know how to Sakura good? Well this is the video for you!

This tutorial will hopefully cover the whole gambit of what a beginner should learn when picking up Sakura including normals & throws, special moves, V-System, anti-airs, beginner to intermediate combos, meter usage and finally how to play Sakura :) There'll also be some overlap as I wanted to be thorough and each section is designed to be viewed as a stand alone as well.

Sakura might not be the easiest or most beginner friendly character since she doesn't really have anything she can spam mindlessly and she also has no target combos that can be used as hit confirms but there's also not very complicated to use either. You could probably compare Sakura to a mix of Karin and Ken, she appeals to players who like rush down characters.

When it comes to combos there's simply too many to list them all so I only included what I thought are the important ones to learn. As a beginner you can basically start with just 2 combos and work up from there; fastest punish and crush counter punish. Unfortunately Sakura's standard hit-confirm is kinda awkward with the b+HP cancel to Shouoken but she has other easier options if needed.

Any questions about the video, notation, combos, character or even game in general please ask in the comments and I'll do my best to answer :)

Next up Advanced Counter Hit Combos :)
