this was a sick tournament to watch live in person - well done Melbourne,Australia.

[@Gorionward]

I should have been more specific than just 'better'. I guess to start they need to give some of the lower tier characters more damage options, eg. Chun Li. She's got great normals for footsies and mobility with dashes. But her weakness would be her wake up and lack of high lows. Sakura's jump fierce is silly, that does need a change. But the close fierce is fine. Its good to link combos but hardly a factor on wake up (its punishable!). FYI her wake up options are limited as it stands,

[@assmister]

no one ever sees akumas crossup hurricane kick coming, its too damn tricky

[@Gorionward]

The 3 frame start up is nice but it's -6 on block. So even without meaty setups it's quite punishable if baited out. Lowering Cr.mk hitbox is not exclusive to her, Ryu, Ken,Chun(cr mp) and Akuma also has it just on top of my head. She's pretty brainless so I understand why you would hate her. Not sure if nefing is the answer though. Capcom is trying to get rid of the unblockables (for all characters) and make the other characters better. That sounds like a more sensible route.

Their commentary just drones on and on and on... Also, what's up with the frame skipping?

[@kevinkolkje]

akuma as the smoothest sweeps

[@XeroForever]

She has some good jump ins sure, but she is still very susceptible to a Shoryuken, hell even if by some stroke of luck she trades with a shoryu its almost like a free fadc for the other character, many a times has sakura been hit with ryu ultra after a shoryu trade. and her combos arent easy, I mean the 100~200 dmg are easy sure, but that's like anyone else, her tatsu loop combos and fadc on a H Srk are all 1 frame links and some of the hardest combos in the game.

[@sabishiihito]

No AA DP from Tokido makes Daigo sad.

[@XeroForever]

god forbid she wake up with a 3 frame normal that can only be used at close range, and also lacks invincibility, she should just have a 3 frame invincible srk like 50% of the other cast.

[@trevtrevkid]

Why are people complaining about Sakura, when's the last time she won a major or a big tournament? Just sounds like a salty people that got body, Sakura is fine the way she is.

[@juano88]

Why are they making excuses for the Sakura player. HE CHALLENGED THE BEST AND GOT BEAT! NO EXCUSE!

[@AbirZenith]

Tokido did end up winning the whole thing btw
