Okakyaku (桜華脚 Ōkakyaku?, Cherry Luster Leg) is one of Sakura's special attacks, introduced in Capcom vs. SNK: Millennium Fight 2000 before being brought back in the OMEGA Mode of Ultra Street Fighter IV. It is also part of her V-Skill in Street Fighter V.
Description
Executed by performing a quarter-circle forward motion and pressing kick during a forward jump, Sakura performs a diving neutral heavy kick against the opponent. The EX version performs a diagonal air heavy kick followed by a neutral heavy kick. The EX version hits twice and can be done at any jump.
Tactics
This versatile tool not only lets Sakura change her jump arc, but also gives her another option for disrupting the opponent’s footsie game. This move has a lot of startup frames, making it pretty slow. The EX version hits twice. With no height restriction, it’s a good move to use to create openings and secure the round.
