Sakura Kasugano
RegularDark Sakura Street Fighter VPrevious Titles “ Yeah. A lot of time has passed since we last fought. We all have to grow up at some point. Well... Ryu-san, can I ask you a question? No matter how strong you get, eventually you'll get old and die. Being alone, just seeking strength, only to eventually die. Is that the right way? „ ~ Sakura to Ryu “ Yeah. I feel like that's one kind of strength. A bond, which can connect me to my future. Thank you! Now I understand what I was looking for, and I realized this is what I wanted! „ ~ Sakura to Ryu Sakura GanbaruRival SchoolsStreet Fighter AlphaStreet Fighter IV OriginalNew Edition “ Sorry to keep you waiting!! „ ~ Sakura Street Fighter Alpha 2Street Fighter Alpha 3 “ He took it easy on me, I just know it! What did he mean - "he is still learning"? I thought street fighting was just for fun. Maybe he knows the true meaning of "fight". I have to see him again to ask him. „ ~ Sakura “ Is that anyway to talk? I'm your number one fan. That's Ms. Little Girl to you! „ ~ Sakura to Ryu “ Do you have time for another beating before my next class? „ ~ Sakura “ Victory is mine. Get up loser, so I can smack you again! „ ~ Sakura “ You violated Ryu's mind forcibly! I won't forgive you!!! That wild man is not my Ryu! He would never be like that! „ ~ Sakura to M. Bison “ I'll be late for class, but it's okay! A good fight is worth it! „ ~ Sakura “ Date: 25th. Weather: Sunny... Today's training regimen: 100 laps around the deck, 500 push-ups, 500 pull-ups, 500 sit-ups, and 800 squats. Um... what else was there? Oh, yeah! I swabbed the decks, cooked dinner, for the whole crew, and then there was that arm wrestling tournament with Hibiki-san, Blanka & the Captain! Aha ha ha ha! That was a blast! Have I really gotten stronger? Am I closer to my goal of getting strong like him? Like I used to wish for? He's out there somewhere... under these same stars... It doesn't matter though. I'll get to see him soon enough at the tournament! Hang on Ryu-san! I'll be there before you know it! „ ~ Sakura Marvel vs. Capcom 2Street Fighter IV “ Sakura trained together with Ryu during the summer vacation, and learned various new moves, including mastering one that delivers a thousand strikes in an instant. Having trained on a beach in a southern country, Sakura got a deep suntan. Ah, so her powers aren't the result of having awakened some latent power...just pure determination... „ ~ Shadaloo CRI

Background

This dropdown contains the synopsis of Sakura’s story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!

Background Little is detailed about Sakura’s early years, other than that she is close friends with her classmate Kei Chitose and grew up alongside Hinata Wakaba and Natsu Ayuhara. Sakura’s interest in street fighting began after spotting Ryu on her way to school, inspiring her to imitate his techniques. She remembers her first two real fights clearly: one where she defeated a group of older kids who had taken Tsukushi’s handheld game, and another where she confronted a college student and his friends after they began harassing Kei. The latter incident is what first brought her to the attention of Karin and Shibasaki. Rival Schools: United By Fate Sakura appears as a hidden playable character in Capcom’s 3D fighter Rival Schools: United By Fate. In this story, she is a student at Tamagawa Minami High School, but steps in to support Hinata and Natsu—now attending Taiyo High and Gorin High—as strange incidents and student disappearances spread across Aoharu City. After the clashes between the inner-city schools come to an end, Sakura reflects on how strongly she felt about protecting something important to her, and begins to wonder if Ryu has something he values enough to protect as well. Nekketsu Seisyun Nikki 2 Sakura shows up as an instructor in Nekketsu Seisyun Nikki 2, where she battles the edit characters in a single-round match. Defeating her is the only way for the player to boost all of their stats at once. However, if the edit character loses, those full stat gains won’t apply, as Sakura’s overwhelming strength and powerful Burning Vigor techniques make her a difficult opponent to overcome. Street Fighter Alpha 2 Skipping classes to continue her worldwide search for Ryu, Sakura sets out hoping to find him and learn under him as his student. During her travels, Sagat notices that her techniques resemble Ryu’s and demands to know his whereabouts. Sakura, unaware of where Ryu actually is, calls him rude, which leads to a fight between them. In her individual ending, Sakura reflects on her previous sparring match with Ryu, where she asked him to become her teacher. Ryu declined, explaining that he still has his own path to follow. Before parting, Sakura requested a photo together as a memento, which she later looks at fondly while heading to school. As she walks, her best friend Kei appears, lifting her spirits before the two hurry off, running late. Street Fighter Alpha 3 At sixteen, Sakura continued her street-fighting journey and set out once again to track down Ryu and understand the true meaning of fighting. Beginning in Japan, she faced E. Honda, who mentioned that Ryu had been traveling through places like India and Thailand. Sakura later traveled with her self-proclaimed teacher, Dan, during which she met his friend Blanka and was promised a chance to battle him. She also crossed paths with Maki again, who praised how much Sakura had improved at dealing with Bushinryu since their previous encounter. Sakura credited this progress to a fight with Guy, though it is unclear whether this meeting actually took place. Curious, Maki asked about Guy’s whereabouts, and Sakura recalled him mentioning Thailand, prompting the two to head there together. Their journey continued across the globe in search of both Ryu and Guy, and at some point they separated from Dan. Along the way, they met Ken, who listened to Sakura explain how much she loved fighting to better herself. Inspired by her enthusiasm, he traveled with them to Thailand, where they encountered Karin Kanzuki—this time accompanied by Guy. After a rematch between Sakura and Karin, Karin emerged victorious but acknowledged that Sakura had grown stronger and that victory alone was not everything. After Maki’s brief clash with Guy, the group eventually located Ryu, only to discover that he had fallen under M. Bison’s control. Sagat arrived soon after, and while he confronted Ryu directly, Sakura and the others fought Bison. Sakura’s determination to protect Ryu, combined with Sagat’s demands that he resist the mind control, ultimately helped Ryu regain his senses. Together with Ken and Guy, Ryu defeated Bison and halted his plans for the time being. Following this, Karin had Shibasaki destroy the Psycho Drive using her family’s satellite weapon. After Maki and Guy departed, Ryu told Sakura he was still not ready to train her or have their rematch. Sakura accepted this, and the two agreed they would face each other again someday. As Ryu walked away, Sakura realized that there was something about him that felt truly special, even if she could not yet explain what it was. Street Fighter IV Sakura resumes fighting while continuing her search for Ryu. Sometime after the second World Warrior tournament, she pressures Dan for information about Ryu’s whereabouts. Not wanting to seem uninformed, Dan claims that another tournament is about to begin, noting that Ken is expected to participate and suggesting that Ryu will likely appear as well. Excited by the possibility, Sakura immediately rushes off to join. She soon finds herself traveling with Dan and Blanka aboard a cruise ship, where she puts herself through an intense self-directed training routine. During the tournament, Sakura looks for any trace of Ryu and eventually locates him inside the S.I.N. facility, where he is in the process of destroying the BLECE project. The sheer force of the confrontation knocks her unconscious. When she comes to, she sees Ryu standing victorious. Together, they escape the collapsing facility—likely sabotaged by Vega—and reunite briefly with Dan and Blanka on the way out. After the tournament concludes, Sakura and Ryu part once again, and she heads home by ship. In her ending, a slightly older Sakura is seen walking her dog near the Overpass when she notices Ryu approaching, hinting at their ongoing connection. Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition' Sakura has finished high school and is now attending university while working part-time at Plaza Capcom. Despite this, she still feels unsure about what choices she needs to make to feel fulfilled in the long run. After sparring with Karin, Sakura questions why Karin constantly seeks her out, and Karin explains that fighting Sakura is the best way to measure her own progress. Sakura points out that they’re no longer children and wonders if spending their time on constant fights is meaningful, or if pursuing more strength is even the right path for her anymore. Karin then suggests Sakura wouldn’t say that if Ryu were around, which flusters Sakura. When Sakura eagerly asks if Karin has seen him, Karin tells her that she encountered Ryu during a recent crisis she helped coordinate and is certain he is still traveling and training. Sakura becomes embarrassed by how excited she got. While working, Sakura thinks about how much she wants to see Ryu again but admits to herself that she can’t simply wander the world like she once did and must focus on her job and her future. When she hears from a customer that someone is causing a commotion in the arcade, she gets back to work. Later, on her way home, she reflects on her life until she unexpectedly runs into Ryu, who mentions that Karin called him because of her. After a short fight meant to clear her thoughts, Ryu compliments her for becoming stronger and more mature. Sakura then asks him about his future, noting that no matter how powerful he becomes, he will eventually age like anyone else. She wonders if that’s the life he truly wants. Ryu interprets this as a question about taking a disciple, explaining that he isn’t ready for that while still training. Sakura clarifies that she meant having a family someday. Ryu admits he’s never considered it but acknowledges that forming new bonds could also be a kind of strength. With that, Sakura realizes what she wants for her own future, though she quickly insists she isn’t planning on having children anytime soon. Sakura later appears in the final part of Karin’s character story, returning to the Kanzuki Estate. Karin’s steward had informed Sakura that Karin wanted to see her, and when the two meet, Sakura comments that Karin hasn’t changed as they prepare for a friendly match. She is seen again in Ibuki’s story, talking with her over their phones. Sakura reminds Ibuki about the party invitation Karin sent, which she hadn’t noticed yet. Sakura explains she can’t attend due to schedule conflicts and hangs up. During the party, Karin mentions Sakura when Ibuki’s friendships come up. In Blanka’s character story, taking place around the same time, Sakura intervenes after Blanka accidentally damages an arcade machine. After their fight, Blanka apologizes, and Sakura suggests that the manager refill the machine with Blanka’s toy dolls. Sakura next appears in Dan’s story, which follows Blanka’s. She continues trailing her former mentor Dan, who ends up breaking the machine afterward. In Akira’s character story, Sakura is the one who clears up Ibuki’s misunderstanding about Akira, whom Ibuki originally thought was an unfamiliar boy. Akira explains how she first met Sakura during the events of Rival Schools and the Street Fighter Alpha series, during her search for her brother Daigo while working with Edge and Gan. Since Sakura was already a skilled street fighter, Akira challenged her to a fight to test herself. Afterward, Sakura asked to spar again and told them that Karin had arranged a girls’ tea party at the Kanzuki Zaibatsu, which ties back to the earlier invitation Ibuki received. Sakura later joins them at the tea party and the beach gathering hosted at the Kanzuki private beach. She notices that Akira has overcome her fear of water, and Akira explains that someone helped her learn to swim properly. Ibuki misunderstands and assumes Akira is talking about a boyfriend. Sakura asks Akira what she plans to do next, and before long, Karin challenges Akira to another fight, which Akira reluctantly accepts with encouragement from both Sakura and Ibuki. Street Fighter III series Sakura does not make an appearance in the Street Fighter III titles, though she is referenced in Gamest Mook Vol.81 "Street Fighter III Fan Book". The developers describe her as living an ordinary adult life during this period, constantly on the move with a cellphone in hand, dressed in a suit while still keeping her signature headband and gloves. Street Fighter 6 Before the events of the game — on the same day Ryu grows his beard — Sakura attends a festival with Kei and Maki. The trio cheers during the performances of Ryu, Retsu, and Dan. During the World Tour mode, if the player defeats Ryu, he briefly brings up Sakura afterward.

Relationships

Dan Hibiki

The relationship between Sakura and Dan is not one that can be accurately described as master and apprentice, with Dan doing nothing more than guiding her to the world of street fighting.

Ryu

Ryu is Sakura's idol and the very person that got her into street fighting. Initially he saw her as nothing more then just a girl playing for fun, but later he gained respect for her and her talent, always willing to fight her when they meet.

Karin Kanzuki

Karin is Sakura's rival, viewing Sakura as one of the commoner's willing to speak with due to her innate talent.

Fought against and defeated Karin Kanzuki, who can casually break a window and knock out a bear with one hit. Noted by Karin that compared to a strike from Sakura, a strike from a giant monstrous bird feels like little more than a brisk breeze. Her hadoken clash with Ken Masters caused a massive explosion across a street. Fought against Street Fighter 1 Era Ken Masters, and was capable of severely damaging him, breaking his ribs in the process. Ken before this can break multiple stone tiles and three cinderblocks with one attack. Caused an explosion when clashing Hadoukens with Ken.

Later fought and defeated Gouken, who fought and defeated Street Fighter IV Era Akuma, who through just flaring up his power, destroyed a forest. Tapping into the Power of Nothingness could overpower and incapacitate Seth and easily defeat Torrent of Power Necalli, both of which were able to initially overpower Ryu. Its power is also scanned to be greater than the Satsui no Hado. Swiftly defeated Torrent of Power Necalli and a Psycho Power amplified SFV M. Bison).

Sakura is capable of focusing her chi into a Hadouken after learning what it is from Dan, noting it was way easier then she thought. Sakura attends the same eductational facility as Karin Kazuki. From just training under Dan, her fighting style resembles Ken Masters, the all American fighting champion, and Ryu who mortally wounded the King of Muay Thai, both of whom practicing the illusionary martial art known to have its origin in the ancient art of ultimate assassination.

Super Combo Level Gauge

Each time a fighter executes normal moves and special moves, their Super Combo Gauge will build up. Their level will increase when the gauge reaches certain points, and then they will be able to perform Super Combos and Alpha Counter moves.

When performing Super Combos, the amount of damage inflicted by a successful combo can be controlled depending on the buttons pressed. With the Super Combo Level Gauge at full power (Level 3) fighters can perform the Super Combo, using 1, 2 or 3 attack buttons simultaneously to increase or decrease the number of hits inflicted. The more buttons fighters press simultaneously, the more damage will be inflicted but more power will be consumed from the fighter's gauge.

Alpha Counter

←↙↓ + any Punch button

When fighters block their opponent's attack, press the Directional Buttons, ←↙↓, in a smooth motion, then press a punch or kick button (depending on the character).

Grab/Throw

Press Directional Button toward opponent, then press either Medium or Hard Punch or Kick button. Some characters may be able to execute a grab or throw move automatically.

The Super Combo Level Gauge builds up as they perform moves. When it reaches a certain length, its level increases allowing the fighter to perform Super Combos, Alpha Counters, and Custom Combos.

• X-Ism: The fighter can perform a Super Combo only when the Super Combo Level Gauge is full. Super Combos use the entire gauge.
• A-Ism: Fighters have three levels of Super Combos, corresponding to the three levels of punches/kicks (light, medium, and heavy). The Punch or Kick button pressed determines the power of the Super Combo, and uses a similar amount of the gauge. The higher the gauge level when the fighter starts, the more powerful their Super Combo will be.

Custom Combo

Custom Combos are available with V-Ism characters only.

When a V-Ism character's Super Combo Level Gauge builds up to 50% or more, they can perform a Custom Combo by pressing Punch and Kick buttons of the same strength simultaneously.

• During a Custom Combo, shadow images follow the fighter and attack in the same way.
• Fighters can continue on a Custom Combo until the Super Combo Level Gauge runs out.
• Fighters cannot block during a Custom Combo.
• If the fighter takes damage, the Custom Combo ends.

Close Attacks

Close Attacks are special techniques which can only be used when two fighters are right next to each other. These techniques fall into two basic categories: THROWS and HOLDS.

Throws

Throws allow fighters to grab an opponent and toss them across the room. Some fighters can even do thorws in mid-air.

• Example: It is possible for Ryu to grab Ken and throw him over his shoulder. To do the Shoulder Throw, Ryu must push forward against Ken and then he must push the Hard Punch (Fierce) button.

Holds

Holds allow fighters to grab an opponent and then hit or bite them again and again.

• Example: It is possible for Blanka to bite Guile on the head. To do the Head Bite, Blanka must push forward against Guile and then he must push the Hard Punch (Fierce) button.

Special Moves

Each character has developed his or her own special moves for use in combat.

Regular Moves

Special Moves

Combo moves made up of a D-Button/Joystick command and a Punch or Kick button press.

• Crouching blocking parry: ↓

Press toward opponent for an upper attack or ↓ for a lower attack the moment the opponent's attack hits. If successful, the fighter moves first and takes the advantage.

Dizzy Recovery

All buttons Recovery from dizziness more quickly by rapidly pressing the Directional Buttons, punch buttons and kick buttons in any random order.

Throw & Grapple

LP + LK simultaneously When close to an opponent, press the Light Punch + Light Kick buttons simultaneously to throw the opponent. Some characters have grab moves instead of throws. Also, input the command the moment the opponent grabs the fighter to escape from the opponent's throw move.

Leap Attack

MP + MK simultaneously Jump lower than a regular jump and attack. Effective against an opponenet who is doing a crouching block.

Personal Action

HP + HK simultaneously Each character has an individual Personal Action with a unique effect.

Super Art

Directional Button/Joystick + Punch or Kick Button A Super Art move is a super powerful special move. As the fighter attacks, their Super Art Gauge gradually fills up. When the gauge is full, the fighter can perform a Super Art move. Each fighter has three Super Arts.

EX Special Move

2P or 2K buttons When the Super Arts Gauge is blinking light blue, press two P or K buttons while inputting a Special Move command to perform a more powerful version of the Special Move. An EX Special Move requires a certain amount of Super Art Gauge.

Normal Moves

Press the punch or kick buttons to perform normal moves. The actual attack performed depends on the position of the fighter and the button pressed.

Special Moves

Inputting a specific combination of directional and attack buttons allows the fighter to perform a special move. Even if the opponent blocks a special move, they will still take a small amount of damage. Inputting the command for a special move during certain normal moves allows the fighter to cut short, or "cancel", the normal move and quickly go straight into performing the special move. Using cancelling skillfully is one way to create damaging combinations.

Block

Pushing the directional button away from the opponent allows the fighter to block their attacks. They can block high (Standing) and low (crouching) attacks. High and low blocks can block specific attacks, but not every attack. The fighter will need to carefully and quickly swap between them to block all incoming attacks.

Dash

Press the forward directional button twice to perform a forward dash, or the backward directional button twice to perform a backward dash. Dashing allows the fighter to quickly close the distance between them and their opponent, or to fall back and reassess the situation.

Stun Recovery

If the fighter keeps getting pummeled, they will eventually become stunned. While stunned, they cannot do anything. Their only hope is to press the directional buttons and other buttons as fast as they can to recover from the stun faster.

Throws and Throw Escapes

When standing close to the opponent, pressing the light punch button and light kick buttons simultaneously allows the fighter to throw their opponent. Theyh can change the direction they throw the opponent by pressing the left or right directional buttons. They can prevent themself from being thrown by pressing light punch and light kick together when their opponent begins to throw them. This is called "throw escape".

Some characters can also perform a throw when jumping (aerial throw), or special move throws (command throws). Throw escapes cannot be performed against aerial or command throws.

Recovery

When the opponent's attacks have knocked their character to the ground, they can press the down directional button twice or any two attack buttons simultaneously the instant that they hit the dirt to perform a quick recovery. A successful recovery will reduce the amount of time spent prone on the ground and make it easier to respond to the next incoming attack.

Some attacks, such as throws, do not allow a recovery to be performed after them.

Personal Action

While standing, the fighter can press the heavy punch and heavy kick buttons together to make sure they perform a personal action and taunt their opponent. This action in and of itself has no special properties.

Focus Attack

Performing

Press and hold the Medium Punch and Medium Kick buttons together to charge up a Focus Attack. To perform a full strength Focus Attack, hold the buttons until the attack is unleashed automatically. If the fighter releases the button while charging, the Focus Attack will come out sooner, but weaker.

Hyper Armor

The fighter can absorb up to one enemy attack in the time between pressing the Medium Punch / Medium Kick buttons and the Focus Attack being peformed. They can then go on to counter by performing the attack.

Absorb an opponent's attack and, rather than take direct damage, a section of the fighter's vitality gauge will change color, and will regenerate over time. This damage will recover as time passes, but if they are hit again before it finishes recovering, the remaining section will vanish and can no longer be recovered.

Levels

There are three levels of charging for a Focus Attack. The levels depend on how long the fighter holds the Medium Punch and Medium Kick. The fighter will flash white each time the Focus Attack level increases.

Levels
Attack Level	Main Benefits of Focus Attack performed
Level 1	Only does regular damage Crumples opponent if a counter hit
Level 2	Crumples opponent if hits, allowing easier follow up
Level 3 (Keep holding until performed)	Becomes unblockable Has Armor Break properties Crumples opponent if hits, allowing easier to follow up.

When an opponent crumples, they are rendered totally defenseless as they fall to the floor. Follow up with extra attacks or throw to take advantage of a crumpled opponent and do further damage.

The fighter cannot move or jump during a Focus Attack, but they can perform either a forward or backward dash to cancel the Focus Attack quickly.

Super Combo

Hitting the opponent or performing special moves will increase the Super Combo Gauge. The gauge is divided into four segments and, when completely full, a special command can be inpute to perform an all-powerful Super Combo. Doing so will use up all of the Super Combo Gauge.

Super Cancel

Input the Super Combo command while performing a normal move or special move and the fighter can cancel and move directly into the Super Combo. This is called a "Super Cancel". Using Super Cancels strategically allows the fighter to chain a normal move into a special move, and then into a Super Combo for massive amounts of damage.

EX Special Moves

The fighter can also perform an EX special move by pressing two or more of the required buttons (punch or kick) when inputting a special move command. This will consume one segment of the Super Combo Gauge. EX special moves are further powered up versions of the normal special moves.

EX Focus

When performing certain regular or special moves it is possible to press Medium Punch and Medium Kick together and cancel into a Focus Attack. This is called "EX Focus." (It will consume two segments of the Super Combo Gauge.) EX Focus has the same properties as a regular Focus Attack, aside from having no Hyper Armor effect.

The EX Focus can also be used when the fighter's special moves are blocked to protect themself from the opponent's counterattack.

Ultra Combo

The Revenge Gauge fills up as the opponent damages the fighter. Once it is over 50% full, the fighter can input a character-specific command to perform an "Ultra Combo," a devastating special move.

Performing an Ultra Combo will consume the entire Revenge Gauge. The higher the gauge is charged upon performing the attack, the more damage the ultra combo will do.

Normal Attacks

Press the punch or kick buttons to perform a normal attack. The precise attack varires depending on the fighter's position and the button pressed.

Special Moves

Pressing the directional and attack buttons in specific combinations will perform special moves. Special moves will take off a small amount of damage even when blocked. By performing a special move during certain normal attacks, the fighter can cancel the normal attack and move swiftly into doing a special move.

EX Special moves

These are special moves that are more powerful or have a stronger effect than normal. Fighters can perform an EX Special Move by pressing a punch or kick button (depending on the move) at the same time as the fighter inputs a special move command. This will use one stock of the fighter's Critical Gauge.

Guarding

Fighters can block an opponent's attack by pressing the directional button away from them. There are two types of guard: standing and crouching. Each can be used to block different types of attacks, so they'll need to know which type of guard is best for each situation.

V-Skill

Pressing the medium punch and medium kick buttons simultaneously will trigger a special action with a unique effect specific to that fighter.

V-Trigger

When a fighters V-Gauge is at MAX, press the hard punch and hard kick buttons simultaneously to trigger a special action specific to that character, consuming the entire V-Gauge. With effects like temporary power ups and teleportation, the V-Trigger can turn the tide of battle and give a fighter the upper hand.

V-Reversal

When guarding, press all kick or punch buttons at the same time while simultaneously pressing the directional button towards the opponent to consume one V-Gauge stock and perform a counter-move.

• Whether the fighter need to press punch or kick button depends on the fighter.

V-Shift

Press Hard Punch and Medium Kick at the same time to spend 1 stock of V-Gauge and perform a backward evasive action.

V-Shift Break

If a fighter successfully parries their opponent's attack with a V-Shift, they will trigger slow motion. While in this state, press Hard Punch and Medium Kick together to perform a fighter-specific counterattack called a V-Shift Break.

Throws and Throw Escapes

When standing close to the opponent, the fighter can perform a throw by pressing the light punch and light kick buttons simultaneously. If their opponent tries to throw them, they can execute a throw escape by pressing the light punch and light kick buttons together at just the right moment.

Recovery

When an opponent knocks the fighter down with an attack, they can perform a quick recovery by either pressing a directional button, or pressing two or more punch or two or more kick buttons simultaneously at just the right moment.

Movement

Walking

Pressing left and right on the control pad/left control stick will let the fighter move in that direction. The fighter can move forwards or backwards with no difficulty, not losing balance even while moving backwards while fighting against an opponent.

Dashing

Through double tapping the left control stick in the same direction, the fighter will perform a dash. Dashing lets the fighter cover more ground than regular advancing or retreating.

Jumping

Through inputting the control pad/left joystick upwards, the fighter will perform a jump. The fighter can either jump straight up or to either side. Jump are utilized for moving while avoiding opponent attacks, though jumping around too much will make the fighter look predictable.

Normal Attacks

Normal Attacks are performed through the fighter using the punch or kick inputs, allowing them to perform attacks of different strengths depending on the input done. There are weak versions of normal attacks known as light attacks, while weak they come out quick. There are medium attacks which are well balanced and easy to use. There are heavy attacks that leave the fighter open to counter attacks, but to make up for it they deal good damage.

Through inputting the control pad/left joystick downwards, the fighter will crouch, if attacking in this state the fighter will perform a crouch attack.

Through inputting the jumping action, the fighter can also attack while jumping, performing jumping attacks.

Blocking

There are two kinds of blocks: Standing Blocks and Crouching Blocks.

• Standing Block: Press the left joy stick in the opposite direction of the opponent while standing to perform a standing block. Standing blocks can guard against any attacks that aren't aimed at the fighters feet.
• Crouching Block: For attacks standing blocks can't defend against, crouching blocks are instead viable. While facing right, input diagonally down and left with the control pad/left joy stick to block. Crouching Blocks can't defend against Overhead or Jumping Attacks, but they can deal with a lot of other attacks.

Throws

When a fighter cannot break through an opponent's block, they can use throws to deal damage instead. At close range press the light attack inputs at the same time for a normal throw. Throws are a great option for close-ranged offense.

Throw Escape

If the fighter is about to get thrown, they can answer back with a throw escape, by pressing the light attack inputs at the same time.

Special Moves

Through a fighter doing their correct inputs, they will be able to fire off their special move. Different special moves work better in different situations for a fighter.

Super Arts

Super Arts depend on the Super Art gauge. The Super Art gauge can be filled up to 3 levels, if a fighter has at least one level in the bar, they can perform a Super Art.

The Level 3 Super Art is every fighter's trump card. The Super Art gauge fills up whenever the fighter's attack hits or if they're attacked.

The Drive Gauge

All fighter's have a Drive Gauge which indicates a fighter's concentration and energy level. Utilizing this gauge lets a fighter perform unique actions.

Drive Impact

The fighter presses the right two shoulder buttons at the same time to perform a powerful attack. Drive Impacts can absorb two attacks from the opponent, but there are some exceptions. When in trouble, a fighter's Drive Impact can break through any attack. Drive Impacts have a unique characteristic: They can break a cornered opponent's block.

Drive Parry

This is performed by holding down the medium attack inputs at the same time, for a powerful defensive tool.

Drive Parries are effective against both standing and crouching attacks, and a successfull Drive Parry will replenish the drive gauge.

While Drive Parries are powerful, they can't defend against throws.

Perfect Parry

A Perfect Parry is the result of performing a Drive Parry the moment an opponent's attacks hits them. This is an invaluable tool for their counterattack game.

Other

Standard Tactics: Sakura utilizes techniques she sees from others and applies them into combat, mainly using Ryu's form of combat mixed with her own family's style.

Weaknesses

• Standard Fighter Weaknesses: Alpha Counters consume 1 level on a fighter's Super Combo gauge. Focus Attacks hyper armor absorbs an opponent's attack and allows the fighter to regenerate the damage, however if the fighter is damaged while the recovery is in process, they will lose the remaining section and can no longer have it be recovered. Fighters cannot move or jump during a Focus Attack. When the Drive Gauge is completely empty, the fighter will enter Burnout and won't be able to use any Drive system techniques until it's fully recovered.
• Unique Weaknesses
  • Sakura Ganbaru: Sakura at this point lacks battle experience, having people with better battle experience able to get a leg up on her in fights. Sakura builds her "chi" too slowly, leaving her wide open while she's trying to use a hadoken.

Codex Statistics Questions

Q: Shouldn't characters comparable to Akuma be around Tier 6 (6-C) for him sinking an island in one punch?

A: Akuma's punch causes the island to start collapsing, and specifically causes an explosion of this size in comparisson to the island, there is also no direct timeframe for how long this took, making it hard to factor. On top of this, the size of the island is not that large. Playing Devil's Advocate and assuming this was to be Tier 6, this would not be consistent, as Akuma using his ultimate technique, the "Kongou-kokuretsuzan" only split Ayers Rock in half. Which it should be noted as Akuma is training constantly and getting stronger, the Island feat was all the way back in Alpha 2, which is before most of the games, while III: 2nd Impact is pretty late into the timeline.

Q: Shouldn't the cast be comparable to Chun-Li's kikosho, which caused this massive crater, which was calculated to be 8-B?

A: While the scene is cut weirdly, a couple of things to note is for one, the consistency of kikosho. In Chun-Li's opening in Street Fighter IV, her kikosho pushes back a speeding car but does no serious damage to it. Another thing is that the crater is inconsistently sized between scenes. Finally, Chun-Li is weaker then Juri where while amped had powers that can blow up the inside of a building and cause a jet plane to explode, greatly injuring Guile, who she's comparable too in the process. Thus it does not make sense for 8-B when far lower feats affect them, and the calculation itself has issues.

Q: Shouldn't the cast be comparable to E. Honda, who destroyed a meteor?

A: In the feat, it's directly noted that the two wrestlers (Hakan and E. Honda) worked together, with E. Honda being thrown at high speeds into the meteor and being greatly damaged from said feat, having bandages all over his body. Thus the feat is not usable for scaling to anyone other then throwing speed.

Q: Shouldn't the cast be comparable to Haggar, who causes an explosion seen from space?

A: Haggar's attack is modeled weird as it's heavily likely for partly comedic effect, asides from this, despite said explosions, the actual stage is largely unaffected by this attack, which furthers that this is just an over the top comedic effect attack rather then being a literal explosions from Earth.

Q: Shouldn't M. Bison be comparable to Akuma and by proxy any characters comparable to M. Bison are comparable to Akuma?

A: When Akuma first appears in Street Fighter II, he easily one-shots M. Bison, his ending in Alpha 3 has him easily kill M. Bison. The only two cases of M. Bison looking stronger is in his arcade mode he has Akuma as a rival fight, and ends up winning, and him calling the Raging Demon a pitifully weak move. However there are issues with both of these, the first one being this is simply a non-canon arcade mode from M. Bison, any other showing of M. Bison and Akuma shows Akuma as the superior one (Examples include Street Fighter V M. Bison getting one-shot by Ryu while Akuma easily beat Ryu in Street Fighter 5, THe Alpha 3 Akuma Ending and Street Fighter II Secret Akuma Boss Fight), on top of this M. Bison wants the satsui no hado's power, which is weaker then Akuma's during the events of Alpha 3. For Adon's part, Bison is merely attempting to convince him to take Psycho Power so that he can control him, this is doubly clear as any time M. Bison has been depicted on screen being hit by the Raging Demon he instantly dies. Also as a last point, for the rival fight, Feel the Cool played against M. Bison, while Groan only plays when he's fighting Gen or Evil Ryu, thus meaning Akuma even in M. Bison's arcade mode wasn't taking the fight seriously.

Q: Shouldn't Evil Ryu and thus the Statsui no Hado have 7-A due to it powering M. Bison's laser to destroy Bangkok?

A: This is not a solely Evil Ryu power, every fighter in the game has this, including Dan Hibiki. This also is a machine that saps all of their energy, where a persons total body energy is not comparable to the energy they produce regularly.

Q: Shouldn't all Street Fighter 6 charcters get 7-A for fighting SiRN Akuma?

A: While some statements suggest it to be equal in power to Akuma, several characters note that it isn't, as strong as the real Akuma. The real Akuma even considers SiRN Akuma a mockery. C. Viper notes the simulation is only passable as a simulation.

Q: Isn't Menat's statement of fighters always fighting against their destiny usable?

A: Menat still can't see the future well, having a hard time seeing fighter's futures like F.A.N.G., and can't properly see into the future. This is more due to her being a rookie then the fighters resistances.
