? Karas 101 - Yurine will guide you to victory

[npartovi]

I thought kara was broken for the longest time, but when my friend started doing 100% combos with ippatsuman and killing him instantly i knew it was gonna be hard for kara to survive without having a burst. I am really doubting using him because he takes damage like a mofo. Eventually when the game evolves a lot more, i cant see kara being the ultimate best, though he still seems like a top tier character.

[System_1]

I still cannot get the infinite consistently.

[Jon_Slayton]

Already doing infinite 100% in match anywhere on screen. Using same tactics Samurai said. If facing my corner been using 5c (assist that doesn’t knock down or stagger) to chain -> 43216 C/B extention -> 2B,2C -> start free rape. If no assist is avail use 5C baroque -> chain so it combos o_O. Also, punish ground bursts with baroque and continue rape.

P.S: most evil set up…pressure them in their corner and leave a hole to take a hit on purpose then burst them and infinite off burst by linking 2a or 2b…WTF this char is teh brokenz. Will try to have vids of us Queens nighaz raping. Our matches are quick as fuck. NY is gonna rape this game LOL

Haha yeah I noticed you can combo it off of burst in the corner too, that shit is cheap. If I have Karas out, I just try to save all my meter for burst since he doesn’t really need it for damage, better to use it to keep the little bastard alive longer.

The other good thing about karas is if he DOES get hit, he always has plenty of red life for baroque. More like B-ROKE.

CONS

• Lowest defense rate in the game. One full combo can easily kill you or leave you half dead.
• Some pokes are very punishable including 2C and 6C.
• Lvl. 3 doesn’t produce a lot of damage like other lvl. 3s.
• Dash is somewhat slow coming out of. Also, you end up attacking the same side you dashed on for a few seconds (if you passed through your opponent)
• Overall damage is pretty average outside of Baroque combos.

alternative i dont really consider these cons. also you saying 2C is punishable is wrong, if u follow it with an uppercut u will be safe.

the only con i actually see is the lowest defense and for taking 5% more dmg than roll, his offensive is atleast 3x that of rolls. I see no glaring weaknesses, specially with the right character assist.

same here man, hopefully i can work on it more once my joybox comes in, this gamecube controller is not my friend.

Also he has no surprising overhead. So he loses to blocking while crouching…

There ya go

Karas = not broken by any means.

[Jon_Slayton]

He’s got instant air dash mix ups. There’s your overheads. I found you can do IAD j.B IAD j.B j.B and the last 2 j.B’s will go over their head and cross them up, looks like he’s running down their back.

He can also cross up with his assists easier than other people, so he does have mix up potential. Oh and he can actually anti air into a combo, unlike half the characters. Most people have shitty anti air.

[mynus]

to those doubting karas’ brokeness,
Start of match last nite against my friend I get first attack infinite they get 2 levels eventually and burst, so I burst their burst, call morrigan iad B up cancel A mixup to infinite = dead. Next char comes in call morrigan Dash under iad back B double crossup to infinite = KO. Technical perfect.
Like I said broken. Seriously, magneto takes DMG like a bitch in Marvel and everyone dies anyway in one hit but that doesn’t make him any less broken. Karas also has way better defensive options than magnus too. You almost HAVE to pick a char he can’t corner infinite to death to win, and still he can loop them for mad dmg to the corner for mad dmg anywhere and throw in baroque and it’s WTF. In a game where his low hitting normals reach 60% across the screen, can reflect fireballs and can reflect super through shinkuu hadouken (WTF), pushblock is a parry in disguise and you lose no chip dmg o_O and his anti air moves are godly in 623 and 236 a/b/c and 5B…all I’m saying is “can you stop him”?

[Alternate275]

Like I said broken.

I disagree :nono:

EDIT: Even if I did agree, what’s wrong with Karas being a “good” character? =/

Fixed the first page of Pros/Cons to be less arbitrary.

[Buktooth]

so I burst their burst

as far as i know, bursts don’t have any period in which you can get hit for free. your friend probably wasn’t blocking

[mynus]

@ Buktooth: yeah you can’t hit them after a burst, I just burst so I don’t get knocked back away from them. After the burst I just poked with 2a and did the said mixup with my assist. Just used it to stay in their face.
And there is nothing wrong with his brokeness don’t get it twisted. I love his cheap ass but not when he gets hit :-/
Gonna try and get some vids of me, josh wigfall, and the other queens mahvel players beasting soon.

That’s just one match though. I believe all of us can quote a near perfect match so that match doesn’t prove anything. Doesn’t mean it will happen this way often or even half the time. When your vids show up I’ll see for myself. And please don’t try to only put the ones where you rape with Karas. Try to be fair and show yourself losing too.

Also you should update the first post to show what you can do Karas’ level 3 from.

-Both forward and back throws

-:d::snkc:

-:l:(charge) :r::snkc:

-His chain

---

Something I been doing the last few days is when I tag Karas in, he kicks them high enough that he can :d::snka: them to start up a combo to a launcher. Dunno if this is known yet but Karas seems to have some type of frame advantage sometimes.

I wont be the one uploading them but sure lol

Any good air tag combos? I’m good with Karas/Chun

[Ken34]

Any good air tag combos? I’m good with Karas/Chun

i did a few karas/chun combos in my vid of me trying shit out a couple days after i got the game.

[media=youtube]K6Ll5gSaNGw[/media]

[Jon_Slayton]

Yay another broke ass finding today, everyone rejoice. Apparently, 236A recovers slightly faster than the other 2. Why does this matter? You can link your B from it! What’s even more broke? You can start the infinite from it! So now Karas has a reversal that he can infinite from. Could this character be any more retarded?

Broke ass finding of the night #2:

Apparently you can infinite roll on the left side? Dunno if this was known but I’ve been doing it.

[frustratedsquirrel]

Karas x Chun team…infinite infinite infinite…

[Grego]

Vids will be posted of me beasting with karas at frosty faustings within the week, when they do ill put the link up in this thread. Karas has a great mixup with chunli by doing cr. a a a st. b cr. b st.c charge move st.b c call chunli then do d.c after karas recovers you will have enough time to walk forward a bit and cross them up. Also with chun li you can do that same setup and land an unblockable into baroque with good timing. Like i said vids will be around soon which showcase the setups i speak of quite heavily.

[Fasty_McNasty]

We need vids demonstrating the infinite. I’ve only seen it once at the end of that one Karas combo video a while back. I havent been able to do it myself…probably doing it wrong…
