Sakura only seems okay... I noticed a few glaring problems with her.

:Her ground Hadouken is a good anti-air, but if the person jumps in blocking, she can be punished heavily (e.g. hurt badly) with a normal attack into a super (or Ryu can just do Shinkuu Hadouken 'cuz it comes out so fast).

:Her Shouken, while it does go through projectiles once it starts up, is very unsafe even on hit. Unfortunately, she can be hit while she screeches to a halt afterwards, whether the attack hits, misses, or is blocked. The only way she's safe after it being blocked is if they block a point-blank fierce punch Shouken, and you go over to their back. Perhaps if the Shouken knocked them back, it would be much better.

:It's nice that her fierce attacks knock the opponent back for spacing games, but unfortunately she's a little too slow for most of her normal attacks besides jabs and crouching fierce punch to be effective against good competition. Perhaps if fierce punch and fierce kick did more damage, it'd be more worth it.

:Her Hadouken is cancelled out by Ryu's Hadouken when the two Hadoukens would meet, but are at different heights. In addition, with her aerial Shouken, when you go directly over the opponent, you slow down as if you're running into them. It'd be nice if you could Shouken over them. I'm supposing these two are just glitches, and can be expected to be fixed .

Anyways, new character is quite fun, albeit flawed . I suppose that playing fighting games competitively for the last three years made me think of things this way. Sorry if this gets anybody down, with me having issues with the character a bit.
