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.
