Thought I had a cool reset idea but unfortunately the spacing isn't optimal for it, against shotos you can do forward throw > half step back > j.mk for a safe jump that will stuff l.dp and make the others whiff...you can OS a dash into the landing so that you dash under them as they recover, but you're too far for cr.lk or cl.hp.
Loosely related, but I'm going to start recording some Sakura tutorial videos this weekend with basic bnbs, resets, setups and such, and probably one of just little random tricks. One thing I've been doing for fun is basically doing Sakura versions of Ryu combos as kind of a meta thing with her character story, have some fun stuff like an uppercut FADC ultra setup off of a focus crumple that's actually surprisingly optimized damage, EX hado > U2 setups in the corner, jab strings into sweep, etc.
