Nah, Sakura is easily one of my favorite characters in SF along with Dudley, and I actually like seeing her grow up and deal with the struggles of becoming an adult and starting to lose some of the passion she once had. It feels relatable, and I want to see more of how she goes on to deal with it.
Sakura is a fun, and fascinating character. Her journey is amazing, driven, focused, and energized. I love the new attire in V, it fits her energy & personality. Top Hat, you're right, most could not get over her new look. Characters change, embrace it.
It's not her new look that killed her in V for me - if anything she had the best Story Mode of them all! What killed her for me in V is that she can't combo off her mediums anymore. :(
@@TonyTheTGR I'm not sure why they changed her setups. You're not alone or drives me crazy too. Sigh V has weird narrative issues, like it wants to explore something new, but it has hits and misses
@@TonyTheTGR o.o Um, what do i do if i still *can.* Not all of them but jumping deep foward, low foward two in oned into EX Shouoken still works when i can pull it off. xD
It took some time, but is nice to see this character progress past being a school girl. I like the twist that her admiration for Ryu was love the entire time.
@@3Rayfire I know it is non-cannon but her Marvel Super Heroes VS Street Fighter ending show that she is not destined to stay a fighter. She is going to become a mother. In the manga Top Hat mentions she becomes a Gym coach at her school. That is what inspires one of her alternate costumes in Street Fighter 4 and 5. The one with the red jacket and the stop watch.
Sakura is indeed one of the most well known school girls in the alpha series that how much she’s brought such fan services throughout the franchise. Let’s see how the future holds for this upbeat girl. Only time will tell.
Ah Sakura, one of my top 10 street fighters. I like how capcom mixed up her playstyle as compared to Ryu and Ken. Also, Dan never trained under Gouken. He tried to train under Gouken, but was tossed out due to wanting revenge against Sagat. He even purposed the idea of being a better fighter than Ryu or Ken. Gouken made a deal with Dan, if he won in a fight against Ryu and Ken, Gouken would ditch them and train him. Sad to say, he lost.
EX was a highly underated and excellent spin off, it went back to the slow and methodical , tactical style of fighting that Capcom had drifted away from for a while. It was in essence a precursor to the modern SF and it's incarnations.
She's just adorable and full of energy. I didn't know they'd actually confirmed that her interest in Ryu went beyond martial arts, but that probably made a lot of shippers happy.
I LOVE NEW Sakura, back then I LIKED Sakura but growing up..... saw her as the Ash Katchum of Capcom, so im glad they gave her growth and show that she is a adult now. I love her once more.
I loved Sakura as a kid because she reminded me of myself. I was too a high-school girl when I got into street fighter. Now that I’m an adult and she is it makes me happy we grew up together 🥰 forever the best SF girl. Chun-Li a close second
I love it too!!! I have been sewing and putting together all of her cosplays like her school uniform, her dojo outfit, her black video game arcade uniform, and even her party dress in SFV! The party dress was the toughest to make, it was a learning experience. I confess I cosplay at my martial academy on the weekly. I don’t care if im turning 36 haha!
favorite street fighter character!!! :3 like that she's becoming part of the main cast(especially now being friends with ibuki/being implied to with elena.:3) and hope for 6 we see sakura be the lead instead of luke as i love her adorably perky personality(especially in her theme that's my favorite along with rolls.) and development,love her design in 5(i think it's better for the school outfit be an alternate as it's a bit awkward compared to the others.),like they kept her rival schools appearance and friendship with hinata canon with akira's appearance,love the ganbaru manga and the udon comic's version of dark sakura(like the games version is her getting sunburnt.) was one of the few things i liked about the alpha ova(think she should've been the focus with ryu instead of shun.) along with birdie/dan/akuma and wish we saw her in project x zone(if we get another one bayonetta better be in it if sega's involved again or pit if nintendo returns to see him interact with sakura.),tatsunoko vs capcom and marvel vs. capcom though like her rivalry with yuri(she kinda is a sassier sakura like mai is a flirty/playfully fiery chun li.) in snk vs. capcom.
It definitely should have been focused on Sakura and Ryu in the alpha movie. (What strange artistic and narrative decisions they chose for that movie). I do really wish she was the future of SF6 and not generic Luke.
We love her young and older! I would love to see her in SF6 become the mature woman she is growing to be, perhaps even have a love interest or something. Would be nice to see her evolve as time goes on but I’m kind of disappointed TBH with this whole Luke character in SF6 coming up.
I always hoped that maybe after Ryu grows old and kills Akuma and becomes a true warrior and all of that she would take over the series, and give Ryu the role Gouken had in sf4
@@thegamerfe8751 maybe there's hope for the character, they have the opportunite to make him a much better character in SF6. Since he's the protagonist, Capcom sure is going to focus more on him, story wise and gameplay wise, at least i hope that
Street fighter is literally my favorite #1 game. Always will be. It’s the reason I got into karate in real life. Found ya by TH-cam chance, but this video got me to subscribe to your channel. My only complaint is, it’s ree-you lol. Ryu,= ree-you. It’s Japanese for dragon, and Ken also means fist. So, put the two best friends names together, it literally means “dragon fist”
Ah I remember back in 1998 coming summer is playing Street Fighter Zero/Alpha 3 arcade mode rival Sakura Karin Kanzuki Vs. Sakura Kasugano friend or foe also beating games boss M.bison my childhood most perfect fighting games for history best of Street Fighter Alpha 3 all time so excite.
I don't mind her change from a school girl in SFV. It would be weird if she stayed a school girl forever, she's older now, in her early 20's or something. The change makes sense. But I'm kinda worried about her future story, since she says she would like to settle down and have kids, it might mean that her fighting and adventuring days will be over. But then again, she wouldn't be the only fighter in the game with a family.
In marvel superheroes vs street fighters. Sakura ending shows her with her son as he’s looking a picture of her in the past, standing in her victory pose over cyber Akuma. It would be so cool if Ryu turns out to be the father.
I ranked Sakura as my 3rd favorite characters in a fighting game. I barely know the character until I played as her in Marvel vs. Street Fighter. I was playing as Spiderman then I chose Sakura 2nd because she's a high school student until then I played as her in most games (Including Rival Schools)
Yeah I laughed at the "Thunder Thighs" joke about Chun Li, but if you look at SF5, EVERY SINGLE ONE of the female character had super thicc legs like that. No joke.
Let me help you out about Udon: nothing they do is canon. The first thing Udon did was throw out the background lore for Street Fighter, up scale the years, and made major changes to what little actual events happen. Udon did their own thing. They took the SF license to tell their own story. It's not bad; it's like the Brazilian comics or the SF2 manga in the early 90's. It's pretty good, but it's not SF.
Sakura is hugely popular in Street Fighter that she has her own rival in Karin. Unlike Asuka Kazama in Tekken she met and hang out with the main characters in Street Fighter and shares an interest in emulating the face of Street Fighter Ryu like Shingo Yabuki does with Kyo Kusanagi in KOF.
I see he didn't know but Sakura SF5 ending had a soft recon the developers at Capcom put Sakura personally back into wanting to fight more to get strong cause she loves street fighting. Her wanting to make a family was all Yuno's idea and since he resigned as a producer in Capcom the developers there recon her back like she was. You'll only see that part of her recon in Akira's SF5 story mode.
I know I'm replying to a 7 month comment. But I think because of the time skip in SF6 and the location there's opportunity for both. If I was a designer moving forward with the character this would be an idea I would throw out: She would be a cultural exchange PE teacher to Metro City highschool, and she's a single mother to a 3-5yr old kid from Ryu that he doesn't know about, and her kid brings back memories and the joy of street fighting. They meet up in the game and recognises he's a father and finally takes on a disciple, their kid. Ryu finally transitions to becoming a master, Sakura's connection with Ryu is stronger than ever, and Sakura has the job she dreamed of having since Alpha. Because her dreams are fulfilled, I would bring back her vibrant colours from Alpha, remix her Ex3 song, and give back her fun alpha dances. Lastly have her kid in the background cheering her on, complete with trying to copy her victory poses (have the kid kick the shoe onto their head instead of her). That's the arc I would do. A return to to the jovial and happy Sakura filled with a youthful vibrance. Her being a PE teacher also gives her direct exposure to Kimberly, Lilly, and Chun-Li's adopted daughter whilst retaining her friendships with the old cast. Giving her that happy conclusion and allowing Ryu to be the Gouken to his (and even Ken's kid) is fitting for the World Warrior as well. But again, that's how I would handle it.
I always said she is the future of the franchise. SF6 should be a few years into the future, moving on from Ken, Ryu, and Akuma. It should be centered around Sakura. Making her look a little bit more mature, with the strength of Ryu and the speed of Ken.
Sakura older with her new black outfit is sick!!! How can you dislike that? Sakura has been my favorite character of Street fighter since I played I think SF vs SNK in the arcades when I was around 4 or 5 years old practicing with my older brother religiously on that arcade.
You should do Sean next since he's a character that followed behind a shoto street fighter character with a modified style of it. He may not be a popular character to do but Sean fits with modified shoto street fighter characters.
Sakura Kasugano is one of the few characters from Rival School's, to make it over to the Street Fighter series as a main character, she appears in many of the Street Fighter games such as Street Fighter Alpha 2/Gold, Street Fighter Alpha 3, Street Fighter 4/Super and Street Fighter 5 in season 3, Sakura is definitely fun to play as in the games she's in, she is not as strong as Ryu and Ken but she is faster than them, she is friends with both Dan and Blanka and that's cool, after seeing Ryu fight against Sagat In Street Fighter 1, she wanted to be trained by him, but Ryu refused saying he's not ready to train anyone yet, as time goes on for Sakura she still wants to be trained by Ryu, but there's probably feelings of love for him, there no real answer for this yet In Street Fighter 5, but maybe we will get an answer in the next Street Fighter Game, I like Sakura a lot and hope she continues to be playable, nice video Top Hat Gaming Man, you did a good job ✌️
This is why I give much praise to Udon Comic's adaptation of Street Fighter lore. In the comics Ryu accepts training Sakura and they both journey together. It's cool and cute. At some point she manages to fire her first Hadoken when Ryu was in danger. Edit: Before Ryu was ready to accept a pupil, Sakura wanted to impress him by challenging freaking AKUMA. Though she got one-shotted, Akuma praises Sakura by mocking Ryu, stating she's more courageous and ambitious than him.
There was a totally-not-Sakura on the American Street Fighter cartoon. She was an admirer of Ryu's, said to be his cousin, only she wanted to get closer to her cousin to meet her real idol - Fei Long. I like to think of her as a sideways attempt to intro Sakura.
Wasn't there one in the episode where Ken got injured and Ryu was lost in thoughts when a Sakura appeared and asked Ryu to beat Sagat again which Ryu did and found his fighting spirit? I don't remember Fei Long reference though
@@Kangstor Yeah, that was an interesting episode. Sakura was one of the freedom fighters of Shadaloo who saw Ryu as inspiration to defeat the warlords of the region (Sagat).
people say that Cammy is the second most recognizable female fighter from the franchise...nah, she might be one of the hottest but the second most popular female character from the franchise is without a doubt Sakura.
Sakura influenced me more than I realized. She definitely softened me up early in life and I do not regret it. She along with Chun-li and jun kazama from Tekken shown me how badass girls can be. I actually look up to Sakura. Yes she's uber cute too but she more than a cutesy gimmick character. She does have drive and it is admirable. Me being an older guy now, I do wonder what's next for her too. I honestly don't see her giving up fighting. She hasn't perfected her style yet. I hope she finds out what she wants but even better I hope she'll fight for it like she's been doing since day 1.
Fan of the videos to be sure, however just a heads up the top hat is not supposed to rest on your ears and smash them like that. It should be half an inch above the ear.
I was taught layout (drawing backgrounds) by Omar Dogen at Seneca College. He's responsible for drawing most of the women in the Udon comics, like Sakura and Cammy. I was a massive fan of Udon comics, then I got the privilege of meeting and being trained by one of the top artists. Amazing experience.
Am I the only one who actually likes the fact that Sakura is growing up?
I like it too! If I wanted to play her as a high schooler I would just play the older games.
I like it too. Just want her around more honestly.
No I love that part of her I like seeing characters growing and getting older.
Nah, Sakura is easily one of my favorite characters in SF along with Dudley, and I actually like seeing her grow up and deal with the struggles of becoming an adult and starting to lose some of the passion she once had. It feels relatable, and I want to see more of how she goes on to deal with it.
I love it. She needs more development. She is honestly the most relatable character now. I want to see how her development impacts real Sakura fans.
The imagery of a Japanese school girl whaling on the Hulk is priceless.
2:22 I honestly didn’t even get a notification you made an E. Honda video, I’ll be going to watch it after this is over.

If you think about it both Karin and Sakura are basically female versions of both Ryu and Ken. Don’t know maybe it’s me,that’s how I see these two.
@@Mankey619 oh I agree completely
Karen’s “Special” is going to consist of her calling the police on Balrog and DJ.
It took some time, but is nice to see this character progress past being a school girl.
I like the twist that her admiration for Ryu was love the entire time.
I always assumed that anyway, I'm just a little bit disappointed that she isn't as dedicated to her fighting skills and Ryu.

I really hope to see the original concept designs for Sakura somewhere in continuity _[__2:25__ for reference]._
Almost clicked out of the video early upon hearing Sakura's theme before remembering this isn't a Maximillian video
Man my jaw dropped when Sakura was in Rival Schools and again in SF5! Its hard not to love this little Tomboy! ❤
🤨
THGM congratulations to you! I remember videos of you sad the channel wasn’t doing good. But look at you now. I’m happy for you!
One of my favorite Capcom characters along with Chun Li, Dante, and Nero.
Took Capcom almost 30 years to get Sakura to get out of that schoolgirl uniform and age her cause fans was starting to complain.

this is the one ive been waiting for!
That "SUPER HYPER STREET FIGHTER 9 PLUS EX ALPHA TURBO CHAMPIONSHIP EDITION" LOL
I went crazy when I saw she was a playable character in Rival Schools! Me and my brothers used to play it all the time back in 1999 !
My favorite character in the franchise and fighting games in general! 🙌🏻
I find it odd that in her ending of Marvel Super Heroes VS. Street Fighter am I the only one thinking that her son has some resemblance with Ryu?

He may not be a popular character to do but Sean fits with modified shoto street fighter characters.

One of my favorite character to play with and lore wise.
9:43 LOL!!🤣
Sakura Kasugano is one of the few characters from Rival School's, to make it over to the Street Fighter series as a main character, she appears in many of the Street Fighter games such as Street Fighter Alpha 2/Gold, Street Fighter Alpha 3, Street Fighter 4/Super and Street Fighter 5 in season 3, Sakura is definitely fun to play as in the games she's in, she is not as strong as Ryu and Ken but she is faster than them, she is friends with both Dan and Blanka and that's cool, after seeing Ryu fight against Sagat In Street Fighter 1, she wanted to be trained by him, but Ryu refused saying he's not ready to train anyone yet, as time goes on for Sakura she still wants to be trained by Ryu, but there's probably feelings of love for him, there no real answer for this yet In Street Fighter 5, but maybe we will get an answer in the next Street Fighter Game, I like Sakura a lot and hope she continues to be playable, nice video Top Hat Gaming Man, you did a good job ✌️

Ha Ha, it's kinda endearing that some people still say "Ryeooh" in 2021.
In Marvel vs Street Fighters. Sakura ending end up with her become a mother and have a child who his face look like Ryu.

I like her new look, red hot.

Wasn't there one in the episode where Ken got injured and Ryu was lost in thoughts when a Sakura appeared and asked Ryu to beat Sagat again which Ryu did and found his fighting spirit? I don't remember Fei Long reference though
@@Kangstor Yeah, that was an interesting episode. Sakura was one of the freedom fighters of Shadaloo who saw Ryu as inspiration to defeat the warlords of the region (Sagat).
Saku been one of my fav since i beat sfa3 on psp and then she beat that unforgiving mode where mbison has unlimited special
I figured they only created Sakura to spite SNK's Yuri. Glad to know they were trying something different instead of being salty.
♥️ SAKURA ♥️ is one of my favorite Fighting Characters
Pocket fighter was dope! That introduced me to alot of characters I didn't know about
people say that Cammy is the second most recognizable female fighter from the franchise...nah, she might be one of the hottest but the second most popular female character from the franchise is without a doubt Sakura.
Makes no sense, the alpha series happened between street fighter 1 and 2, yet 2 didn't have any alpha anything in it and looked like street fighter 1!
@12:58 you showed Yuri in CVS and not Sakura! Silly Billy
Sakura influenced me more than I realized. She definitely softened me up early in life and I do not regret it. She along with Chun-li and jun kazama from Tekken shown me how badass girls can be. I actually look up to Sakura. Yes she's uber cute too but she more than a cutesy gimmick character. She does have drive and it is admirable. Me being an older guy now, I do wonder what's next for her too. I honestly don't see her giving up fighting. She hasn't perfected her style yet. I hope she finds out what she wants but even better I hope she'll fight for it like she's been doing since day 1.
Fan of the videos to be sure, however just a heads up the top hat is not supposed to rest on your ears and smash them like that. It should be half an inch above the ear.
Why has Shingo never tried to put the Mack on her????
happy 35th anniversary street fighter!!! :3
:32 RIE-YU
Why cant I find Puzzle Spirits on app store
I wonder what role there gonna give her in street fighter 6 if they put her in there
I'd rather her be the main protagonist than that Luke guy
@@bw4348 My sentiments exactly.
I rarely use her but shes basically a ryu/ken female character so her moves are familiat
Sakura Kasugano was Capcom's Princess Daisy for the 1990s.
street Fighter yeah
sakura my beloved
Can you do a vid on Ryu next? :)
"Raiyu"

I was taught layout (drawing backgrounds) by Omar Dogen at Seneca College. He's responsible for drawing most of the women in the Udon comics, like Sakura and Cammy. I was a massive fan of Udon comics, then I got the privilege of meeting and being trained by one of the top artists. Amazing experience.
Her Shoryuken is powerful
