Hanakaze

The Hanakaze is one of Sakura's throws in Street Fighter V.

Description
Executed by pressing Light Punch and Light Kick, (the throw command) near an opponent. Sakura first grabs her opponent by the collar. Next, she takes a small step forward and shuffles her feet, positioning her front foot slightly past her opponent. Sakura pulls on their collar with one hand to throw her opponent over her thigh, she uses her other hand to push their leg over. Her opponent flips over and lands on their hip. If no directional input or button is pressed, Sakura dusts off her hands before dropping back to her stance.

Tactics
Sakura's throws are very important to her gameplan. While this throw inflicts less damage and stun than her back throw, it leaves her positioned very close to her opponent. This gives Sakura better okizeme, thus amplifying her offensive pressure. After the throw, she can fish for Crush Counters with Standing Heavy Kick to beat out most of her opponent's normals. If her opponent is in the corner, Sakura can walk forward and continue them again in a pseudo-throw loop. After the throw, Sakura can perform EX Hadoken to maintain pressure. By conditioning them to tech throws or respond on wake-up, Sakura can open up her opponent for even bigger damage.
