Next time I'm in Chicago, I'll let you know. While my Sakura is
nowhere near as good as Bok Choy's, I do know a lot about her.

Easy enough to answer, wait til either the opponent jumps in at you or
an opportunity to VC (such as counter VC, VC through FB's, limbs, etc)
and activate VC with Fierce+RH (aka VC3) and do Jab DP, Back+Fierce
into whiff Short Hurricane Kick (sometimes I do Forward for the first
one, depending on ranges), back+fierce, whiff Short Hurricane Kick,
etc. Once you reach the corner, do fierce, whiff fireball, fierce,
whiff fireball, etc. This VC takes a little while to get down. You
might want to use RH, whiff fireball, when you get near the corner,
then go into Fierce - depending on how they are in relation to you.

Well, with her midscreen VC of doom, no one really is going to jump at
you, and if they are, use that. However, in times that you aren't
charged, here are the things that I do: Air Throw with KK has amazing
range. Back+Fierce from far, standing RH from far, back+strong if up
close (works well against zangief's splash) and lastly, jump straight
up fierce.

Umm...as Choi would say, just hit standing Roundhouse!! While there is
more to her than just this, you would be suprised how for this will get
you. Stand right around sweep range and hit standing Roundhouse over
and over. This will beat almost all foot games. You want to do
back+fierce into fireball at this range also.
One thing that I like to do is (all blocked), low Short, back+fierce
into fireball, standing rh. This does mad Guard Crush damage. Be
careful though, cause people will start either supering or VC'ing
through the fireball, at this point either do back+fierce then block or
back+fierce into fireball and keep tapping punch. Against bigger
characters you can do low short, back+strong, back+fierce, etc. When
they get used to this, do low short, back+strong into PP throw, then go
for a crossup or whatever.
Oh yeah, I'm assuming you know how to play Sakura on the beginner
level. If not, her MAIN combo is Jump in attack, low shortx2, stand
short into fierce dp. Learn this. Make sure you can do it from both
sides, if not, play someone else. Also, make sure you go for crossups
as much as possible. Even if they block the crossup, go into the low
short, back+fierce BS.
Basically, all you are really doing with V Sakura is forcing them to
eat standing RH all day long, then eating GC damage with back+fierce
then when they jump, do her mid screen VC. Rinse, Wash, Repeat.
There are tons more of small nuances that I can discuss, so if you have
any further questions, just post on here.

Exchange ideas on practically anything (tm).
What kind of small nuances? I would appreciate it if you may elaborate on the
little details. I'm also trying to learn V-Sakura.
Thanks,

Well, I suck with V-Sakura, but since I think I'm the only one who
plays her in Chicago, I could add just a little.

Without actually showing you (I can't describe my gameplay with her in
words), read what Derek Daniels has to say. It's probably better than
anything I have to add. The s.rh is awesome and that's how I win most
of my matches, honestly (that should tell you something of the level of
comp in Chicago). Also, the s.strong (or is it c.strong, it's been
awhile since I played) is awesome against the Zangief splash.
Where do you play at? I go to SJG to play A3, b/c that's the closest
arcade to me (well, Dennis' is just as close, but I'd rather drive the
6 extra minutes to 1) get parking; 2) $0.20 games).

Before you buy.
Umm...this is kinda hard to do. I gave out a really good general
strategy for her, so just follow this. If you are having problems
versus a certain character or a certain tactic, then post that up and
I'll try to help. I mean, I really don't want to start discussing how
to beat Guy if no one plays Guy in your area.

I live in Indianapolis, so getting to Chicago isn't exactly something I
do very often. It's about a 4 hour drive to SJG, and SJG is the only
place that I will even think about going if I go to that city to play
games. I need to talk to Seth "Grouchy" Killian and see what his
schedule is like, along with this kid named Tony that lives in Racine.
They are the only two people that I will drive to Chicago for to play
games, so maybe we can try to organize some date and time before the
snow starts falling. Shrug. Or maybe you can just come to Indy! Why
does everyone laugh when I extend that offer? Bah.

And to look like a bad-ass and get some extra damage... try
cr.fierce into jab DP. For free!
