this is wut i posted in SBYRD's post so ill post it here 2

u ppl whine 2 much... obviously u dunt see the weakness in sakura... how slow she is duh... after she does the dfp(down forward punch) she like stops and does that tripping thing where she leans back and flaps ehr arms... thats enuff time to atk her.... the thing is sakuras moves are slow the only tweak i suggest is if sum1 blocks against... the dfp, then they shouldnt get damage... and also i dunt like if 2 sakuras do the move... the one that did it later does the hitting... it should b that they both get hit and fall back... but her dfp is kickass... she should b left alone dunt make her weaker cuz i think shes the tool for cheapasses... i tested sakura against all fighters... she can block go through all projectile moves except supers.... she can stop all wolvies moves... she can stop spideys maximum spider... she can stop the bison psycho crusher... she can stop kens shinryuken(vertical fire and only if it hits ken himself) she can stop chunli's big bang super(only if she jus gets it started) but ppl should take advantage of her slowness and and the time it takes her to atk again... best move you can do is projectile supers and super jump or teleport behind her....
ONLY suggested tweaks:
1. when blocking her dfp... no damage should be done... this includes blocking in mid-air
2. if 2 sakuras do the dfp against each other... both sakuras should get hit...

otherwise lil sakura is jus doin well with the big boys... u jus need to learn how to beat her.

and to enlighten u guys... sakura isnt cheap... the person using it is... ryu excessively doing hadouken is being cheap... ken down hadouken and dragon punch all the time is cheap... excessive use of spiderkick and spider web is cheap... rocket punch and plasma thongy is cheap as well as sentinel force... bison sliding kick and psycho field is cheap... chunlis lightning kick is cheap(cant get out of it)... wolverines drill claw leg sweep and berseker barrage is cheap and sliding kick can be too... cyclops optic cannon and optic blast and optic sweep combo is cheap... and the symbiote byte is cheap... so before u call sakura cheap look at what else can be cheap if that move is done repeatedly.
***dfp= shouken... jus realized its name.
