Description[]
Sakura leaping off of Cammy's shoulders using Sailor Hop.
Executed by pressing Light Punch and Light Kick, (the throw command) while Sakura and her opponent are near each other in the air. After grabbing her opponent, she turns them around and places her hands on top of their shoulders. Sakura vaults herself on top of her opponent, placing her feet on their shoulders. She ends the throw by leaping off of her opponent's shoulders, using the downward force from her legs to send them crashing into the ground.
Tactics[]
Sakura has a plethora of anti-air attacks. Her Light Shouoken is her most reliable option, thanks to its fast startup. Other attacks, such as her Crouching Heavy Punch, works at most ranges. It can also be canceled into her partially Hadoken to keep them on their heels. Sakura's air throw has a 5-frame startup, making it one of her faster anti-air moves. Not only it is her most damaging throw attacks, but it inflicts more damage than her other anti-airs. It is very effective for catching close jump-ins on reaction or to prevent cross-up attacks. Another bonus for Sailor Hop is that it switches sides with her opponent. This is useful for Sakura to get herself out of the corner, while putting them back in the corner at the same time.
