Description

Sakura launching Ryu sky high.

Executed by performing two quarter-circle backward motions and pressing all three kicks, Sakura quickly ducks down ("This oughta fix you!") and performs what appears to be the EX Special version of her Shunpukyaku. If the high kick connects and launches her opponent into the air, she will then jump after them, performing a single-hit Sakura Otoshi ("Attack!"). As the opponent hits the ground, Sakura will land feet-first on their body and jump off ("...and that's a wrap!"). The ending is in similar fashion to M. Bison's Nightmare Booster.

This move can pass through projectiles at start-up, and can be used as sort of an anti-air attack if timed correctly, should an opponent perform an attack in the air. Players can also follow up after a Haru Ichiban, should the opponent block it. A side note is that if no other subsequent kicks landed and the opponent is hit with the last kick, the opponent will instead be sent flying to the other side of the screen.
