[edit] Cameos

I've removed the cameo section... That's unimportant stuff!!! 1stLtLombardi 18:12, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Name

Has Capcom officially stated that Kasugano is her last name? If not, I'll remove it. 1stLtLombardi 18:12, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Yes, so don't remove it...阿修羅96 19:23, 5 August 2007 (UTC)


Alright. 1stLtLombardi 22:15, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Language

Is there any evidence that Sakura can speak English? This is fantastically unlikely, as Japan scores very low on standardized English tests, ie and average 180th out of 183. Therefore, for a non-studious Japanese girl to grasp English... then again... she did learn the hadouken. Nawara Ven 23:36, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

  • During the events of Alpha 3 she speant a lot of time with Dan and Ken, both of whom can speak English. She probably learned the language from them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Krendall (talk • contribs) 21:29, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
    • This is fan conjecture. It shouldn't be mentioned in an encyclopedic article. Everybody appears to be speaking Japanese in Street Fighter. (just like everybody seems to speak english in english language media no matter where they're from) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.191.22.226 (talk) 21:26, 7 March 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Sakura never has done a Seoi Nage ever...

Sakura's punch throw is called the Sakura-jime (Sakura's strangle). This is the move where she "Squeezes her opponent's head" (really their neck) and then elbows their head.

Seoi Nage is Ryu/Ken/Dan/Sean/Akuma's punch throw where they fling the opponent over their shoulder. Sakura never had this move.

Now, if the USA cartoon called it that explicitly, then my mistake. But, if the move was never named explicitly, then it should be referred to as Sakura-jime.

  • My bad. I double checked and it is indeed called "Sakura-jime"[1]. Danny Lilithborne 21:06, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] What's with the pointless trimmings?

Seriously, the last three times it was editted all the person did was take out good information.--Marhawkman 23:37, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

  • I wasn't aware that Sakura's relationship with Guile in the U.S. cartoon and the fact that she's a schoolgirl constituted "good information". Danny Lilithborne 00:11, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

It's accurate information about the character.... --Marhawkman 23:11, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

I must disagree. It would be non-notable if it was redundant information or not related to the subject of the article. However the article is about the character in general, not just the appearances in the fighting games.--Marhawkman 23:25, 12 September 2006 (UTC) How is that information not redundant? USA cartoon isn't canon anyway. Danny Lilithborne 23:28, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

The part about her in the cartoon is not redundant since that was the only part of the article that mentioned her presense in the cartoon at all. The part about "sunburnt" Sakura isn't redundant since, (as far as I know) it was the only entry in wikipedia about it.--Marhawkman 08:23, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Name-related edit/revert war

Could we, like, quit it with the revert war, or at least figure out why the person who keeps editing away the "by last names" bit keeps doing so? --Yar Kramer 01:27, 16 July 2005 (UTC)

There's currently a MedCab discussion on this topic. I don't think it's unreasonable to ask the edit/move/revert warring to stop until the editors have come to a consensus one way or the other. Flakeloaf 10:49, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Just to cover my butt, in the aftermath of all that, anyone oppose this being moved to her full name? It just would be cleaner to do overall.--Kung Fu Man 23:09, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

No objection here, of course. It doesn't really matter to me either way. JuJube 01:03, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rival Schools

Correct me if I am wrong but isn't Sakura a playable character in Rival Schools? I can't find my disk and haven't played ina ges but I distinctly remember her having an awesome pairup combo with Hinata from that series. Don't think she was in any of the other ones (tie in character maybe?) but I clearly remember her in the first one. I liked the Rival Schools series too. to bad it got swept aside... Anyways go correct me if I am wrong I beleive I inserted it properly cronologically but I am not sure. Ariolander 08:42, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

  • Well that answers my question. Thanks! Sure thats the right timeline though? Prolly why I missed it. Ariolander 08:44, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
Sakura is indeed in Rival Schools 1. Also, she has officially been stated as a friend of Hinata's. She appears mostly as a "bonus" character, since she has no affiliation with any of the schools in the storyline. Krendall (talk) 21:22, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] "Sunburned" Sakura

Shouldn't this alternate Sakura be given its own section? If not, I think it should be noted in the gameplay section that she is not an official character. Similarly, I think it should be pointed out that she can only use the Shun Goku Satsu in non-cannon games. Krendall (talk) 21:26, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
