I love how personal this stage is. You're fighting her right outside her home, in front of her younger brother. Makoto's stage is also like this, which is why I love it.
Look, I love SF6's world tour a lot but in my humble opinion, I feel it should've been revolved around HER. Lemme explain: The theme of World Tour is discovering strength or rather what exactly is strength and how do you properly pursue it. Sakura's entire story is to be strong like the man who inspired to push herself to new heights, Ryu.However, as she began to mature, she started wondering if seeking strength was even worth it, and that there's more to life than constant fighting, after meeting Ryu again, she decided to aim for much bigger goals. World Tour could've been a great conclusion to her arc as she travels the globe finding out how does a true warrior balance fighting and everything else and once she was done she would eventually come to a conclusion that a brave heart is always bound to fighting, no matter what path she may choose. In the end, strength is there when one needs it most.
@@funcionapramim That's also brilliant, that means they can get a "final test" kind of battle at the end. Sakura gets to fight Ryu or Sean gets to fight Ken. Proving everyone they are among the greatest fighters in the world like their heroes.
To the Sakura fans, search for video "[TAS] Mach Breakers: Numan Athletics 2 (1 player)" (1995) for the Sakura template Capcom copied for Alpha 2 (1996). Same energy.
