? Karas 101 - Yurine will guide you to victory

More like if your going to final round ill play you and jwong for $100, I aint hype over that tourney, that shit was exactly that, shit. My point is YOU are a little bitch, I aint saying shit to marn.

To marn: I won 3s at Frosty Faustings and many other tournies in my state. My point was that little 2008 faggot morninstar aint won shit and shouldnt be talking to me at all.

Again, Morninstar you think your sweet, put a 100 up at final round or shut yo mouth.

I second this…

Grego and Morningstar - Last warning before I start handing out infractions. Take this shit to a money match thread, or to PMs. Last I checked, this is a Karas Guide thread, and this is not productive at all.

That goes for everyone involved in this.

Well that’s the cool thing about fighters. After all is said and done, when everything is learned it comes down to skill and mindgames and not who knows what character better. Maybe these first tournies will depend heavily on knowledge of Karas but eventually it will get down to a lot more as everything about him is learned through observation. I’ll be awaiting Sinsation vids, I hope all you guys make an epic showing :rofl:.

grabs pen and paper

done and done. its over till final round when you lose 200$ that you dont have.

I’ll take that bet…

im still saying fuck karas until i see this fancy pancy stuff. weird, considering i was a huge fan of his two movies. in my hatred for him, i have considered picking him up, but im gonna just fall back until i see the videos. i dont think he sucks, far from it. im just blindly hating. :slight_smile:

it just sounds like people are talking about how they play karas and dominate, as if the people they are facing are not getting in on karas at all. which is crazy, but hey, if you playin demon, steve h, etc…, and you can still come in here and be like, yo, we had to just stop playing with dude, then something must be pretty serious with that guy karas.

im just excited to see the shenanigans! rape

I’m with you, Jimmy. Karas is my favourite Tatsunoko character and I don’t want to see him ending up being the one to break this game.

So one side of me hates him, the other is revelling in the fact that I actually picked a top tier character as my favourite for once.

So I won a tourney today using that infinite block string stuff. Tell me that shit doesn’t work. No one got out of it once without alpha counter.

Things I found out: When the opponent alpha counters, you can’t cancel to super, or anything it seems like, so yeah, they get a free alpha counter. You can baroque though for safety and then punish. Maybe you could call an assist too, haven’t had a chance to test yet. Vs Batsu, if he does his tardy counter and you hit him, once again, you can’t cancel for some reason and neither move recovers fast enough to be able to block so…yeah. Don’t do it vs Batsu. Pretty sure he could do C tardy counter into level 3, and if his partner is dead it’ll probably 1 shot karas.

Still pissed I won’t be able to go to sinsation. If it was ANY other weekend I could go. Woulda liked to test my Karas vs the other top guys.

Pretty sure top team is gonna be Karas x Batsu though. Batsu to beat Karas and Karas to rape every other character. And it’s not like Karas can’t beat Batsu, he just can’t cheese him out.

Hehe good job man. I’m guessing no vids were recorded?

Well at least we know that Alpha counters work! That’s one problem (somewhat) solved. Karas gets alpha countered by the wrong character = Karas loses half his life if he doesn’t have megacrash. That makes him seem just a little bit less broke.

But good job on your tourney!

Karas is definitely my fav xD big fan of the 2 animations, hrms so Batsu is a good counter to Karas in that aspect? might need to pick up Batsu then ^^.

really hope that Karas doesnt break the game too much but oh wells at least its a person i like thats breaking the game so…yay :smiley:

assist wise is batsu good?

Batsu has a fairly average assist…but he himself is a great character and works really well in any team. His level 3 is so powerful when your opponent is down, it can easily turn a match in your favour if you get to land it.

By the way, I did some testing on alpha counters, and yes, summoning your partner to block their alpha counter does work pretty well. Damn.

Really? Awesome. I’m gonna have to start abusing that, lol.

yah I play karas and bastu, I find him to be a good partner for karas being that he dose alot of damage himself and his def. is great.

Hey I found a 100% on chun. Takes 3 meters and atleast 30% baroque but beggars can’t be choosers. I’m sure it works on other characters that can’t be infinited too, as long as they aren’t too heavy like tekkaman or souki.

Basically from the far right corner, you infinite her to the left side and end the combo in 46B 236B 46B BBQ then continue back to the right side, end at the corner with the same 3 piece, cancel into level 3. BITCH DIES.

Looks sexy as hell too.

He’s also marn

so if u see them doing a VC jus summon assist?

Yup.

Your partner will eat their VC and most likely you won’t get struck by it. But I’m not sure this is always the case. It depends how close you are to them of course, and if they strike your partner first. I’m sure that some characters who’s VC moves have big hitboxes may be able to strike both of you at once. Needs more testing.

It happens in some of Keit’s new vids.

EDIT: actually, look at this: [media=youtube]yjsULdVyl5c&feature=channel_page[/media]

At around 0:17, Alex does a VC with Polymar, and Karas summons Megaman to block the VC. It doesn’t work and Karas is launched along with Megaman. So it is possible to hit both the assist and Karas at the same time.

I guess it all depends on spacing, really. If Karas is in range when the VC connects, then even if he summons a parther, he can still be hit.

But I swear that other times when using VC personally, I’ve had the opponent summon their partner to block my attack completely.

That doesn’t look like it works too well, lol.

I’ma mess around with using sword spin next time I play and see if that works.

Speaking of which, people really need to use that move more. It’s an awesome reversal and stops their air pressure dead in it’s tracks.
