Wow, great comeback Sabre.

Btw, just like to say i was seriously impressed with your Sakura at EVO. You rocked it.

scarecrow: are you really serious?  theres no way i could beat you?  what city/state you live in? what tourneys you go to? or are you just some random online lag warrior that never leaves the house to play and thinks the broken leaderboards are a true representation of skill?

if you play in cali, or close to it, you name the next big event coming up, ill show up, and we can play for however much, first to 5, 10, whatever.  I guarantee you i will get more than just 1 win on you.  I go toe to toe, with valle, EDMA and other killers, OFFLINE.  how about you killer?  they all respect my game, over the years, as well as i respect them for being amazing players. 

 

sakura having no options and no range? are you high?  players are scared of c.forward cuz its range is incredible, is fast, has high priority, and leads to a free knockdown.  it's one of the best far pokes in the game.  her s.rh, while not as fast as it used to be in alpha2/3 and cvs2, is still a good poke and has massive range, once again.  her focus also has incredible range.  no range, are you kidding me?

 

yes, she is most effective in close.  but its also matchup dependant. certain characters, she cannot do ex HK shenanigans. so yeah, if you use a specific character, then yeah, i may not be able to use the shenanigans.  but thats fine, cuz as long as i get the ex hk, i get good damage, high stun, and force a knockdown and keep you pressured.

lol and as for jibbo. i know the dude.  he used to main sakura before going to gen.  so he knows the character really well. i never played a good gen, ever,  and i was not prepared for it.  he played the character wonderfully, but he also didnt rape.  it was still a close game.  if i had known the ex wall dive was invincible, i wouldnt have been going for shenanigans, but i didnt adapt to it fast enough.  whether i knew the character or not, jibbo outplayed me in the end, and i credit it.  i dont make excuses like "he used gimmixks" or "i never play that character, if i knew the matchup, you woulda lost."  i say whatever to alll that cop out excuse crap and just give the player props for winning.

perhaps, valle and gootecks dont play vs a good sakura, except when they play me.  but they have played vs MY sakura in the past, they knew what they were getting into. and i came with a couple new tricks that no one knew about.  i got about a dozen different ways to set things up.  and while they play in arcade, they play console a lot.  i have them on my friends list, they are online A LOT.  so thats a silly assumption that they dont play console

its real easy to be sitting behind the monitor playing arm chair warrior and making silly comments and claim this and that.  but if you dont go out there and make things happen, then your opinion is irrelevant to me.  if you come out, and we somehow play, and you beat me, i will give props, no questions asked.  I would look forward to it.  and i would expect the same respect if i beat you.  but right now, all you are doing is making silly assumptions and speculations.

I dare you point me to where I said that I could beat you

You're at a level beyond most of, there's no questioning that

The question here is whether she's good or not. Few use Sakura like you do, you even said no one saw your shenanigans 'till this Evo. I'd like to see how you'll do from here on out since that's been exposed.

The irony in your "OMG you're onine player" is that you then go had open your mouth 'bout how you play with Gootecks and Valle online

Furthermore, no I do not live in California and since you'd beat me with any character regardless of it's Sakura or not there's no point in even bothering hooking up sometime.

Go ahead and use your Sakura, it's actually good seeing her do good, she's such an awesome character! <3

This argument is somewhat pointless, cause most ppl are still gone pick shotos at the end of the day. Therefore, the tier list prevails when these tourneys come around. But on the other hand, that could be an advantage for sakura players.

We all know the reason why Ryu lost! LOL!!! Just kidding.

 

Hehe, ah! So that's where Ryu's bulge came from when the game's production started? :D

And it still is buldging! XD
