For this post we will be looking at a showcase of skill with the character Sakura, from SuperStreetFighter4, a game in the genre of fighters, which was released a year ago.
In the past few years there has not been much development in the fighting game genre as the community for this is not as robust compared to others. Quite different from the retro period where there was an abundance of this type of games, now there are only 7 newly released - at least ones that made the move to 3D characters - namely: Blazblue, SuperStreetFighter4, Tatsunoko.vsCapcom, KingofFightersXIII, Marvel.vsCapcom3, StreetFighterXTekken, and Tekken6.
SuperStreetFighter4 and Blazblue take the top as the most favored and if you may, best well made.
As mentioned before there are not many people who play these games, and this is mainly because of the skill and time required to even enjoy them. This is both a good thing and a problem in itself. It is then difficult for new players as they have a lot of catchup to do for them to be 'good enough'. For those who are already experienced players, this brings opportunity for more competition and bettering themselves even more. Tournaments and Rankings then come into play, to best enjoy these you must be at least expert in using your chosen character which means that you invest a lot of time into honing your skills.
...here though we will be looking at a video of an online match up that was played quite recently, where Sakura「VapidEagle8」 battles against Fei「Ryukichikun」 (taking up the first 3 minutes of the video)
These are well versed players ranking with A and B+ scoring.
Hand-eye coordination is of absolute essence and I think the Sakura play we see here is flawless,
where we observe correct placement of combos, focus and the ultra finish :
