? Karas 101 - Yurine will guide you to victory

Am I the only Karas alive that is not depending on this infinite to win?

Nah, the one guy around here just rushes down with Chun Li assist and destroys you. Hard to get Karas off you!

No i win with Karas without using the infiinite, but it is something i would like to pull out every once in a while.

If I can get some capture device going at the next gathering I go to, I’ll post a combo tutorial for you guys and all the setups / any character specific shit I can think of. I figured someone else would have done it by now but I guess I can do it if no one else ever gets around to it.

Also I was raping people before I learned the infinite. Then I learned the infinite and my matches are over in like half the time. It’s very useful to learn, but just don’t go into training mode, learn the combo, and expect to win. Always good to focus on fundamentals first.

Honestly though you could probably win with Karas doing nothing but push block whiff punish with 2B into infinite. Shit is stupid. Push block puts them at a range where karas dominates, so it’s always pretty easy to get back on the offense with him at any given time.

I honestly think this is the most broken thing about him. Doesnt have to be an infinite on punish, most his combos can do easy 35%-40% damage. Think im a learn his infinite anyway, just for SBO prep ^*.

Which combos? 40% without level three? Where?

Karas might be generally lower than a lot of the cast in the damage output department, but he’s no slouch. Those percents are close.

Best thing I’ve got off a 2B with just Karas, no assist, no super, and no baroque is:
2B, [4]C, 6B, B, 2B, C, 3C, ^, sj.B, dj.B, 623C For around 13,500.

With 1 super I think you can hit:
2B, C(1 hit)xx236Cxx236AB For around 15000.

That’s around 30% and 33% on Ryu; with baroque, assists, and his level 3 he can easily go higher.

Karas is god tier, anyone who disagrees doesn’t know.

You should know by now that 35-40% doesn’t apply to every character. That’s also a bit skewed. Karas doesn’t do that much damage to even do 40% to himself unless it’s an extended combo. A basic Karas combo doesn’t do as much as you seem to think…

Over estimation cause I was in a hurry while I typed.

karas does pretty crap damage until he starts doing reps of the infinite basically

even if its vs a character the inf doesn’t work on, taking somebody from wall to wall with [46B -> 2C] then launching gets close to 20k damage

oh, and that’s the infinite in those brackets. cancel the 46B into 2C, cancel back into 46B

very character- and side-specific, but pretty easy on those it works on

Here are few vids of my boy Grego showing whats what with Karas’ mixup/pushblock/unblockable bullshit.

LMAO @ the first vid. Your boy Grego should know that :d::snkc: to :dp::snka: works wonders for closing the distance :wonder:

Keep in mind :dp::snka: isn’t punishable on block. :lovin:

The Megaman/Ryu doesn’t seem to understand the concept of crouching guard.

Good stuff to Grego though. Did he win the tournament?

no floe did i think he used ryu chun

Heres all the videos that have been put up so far:

@xsilvenx … what was the problem? i raped that kid he hit me like 4 times before i got close…

More importantly these vids show just how beastly karas’ unblockable is and how nasty that mix up i do can be.

Also karas A upper is punishable, i know ive been punished by both karas and chun li when its been advanced guard.

uh, yeah i do, I guessed the wrong way to block while falling then I got raped.

yo, you karas was nice, i learned a few setups from watching you, so i do thank you for that. but overall it didnt seem like yall’s competition played the game much before those vids. but i also did enjoy watching floe’s chun li, what a nasty little thing hes got there.

Well ill agree the overall skill level in that tourney was low, but its not like ive played this game much myself. I practiced maybe 8 hours total before this tourney, figured out those setups and raped.

Nice karas Grego. I tested some stuff out and all your setups work with Polymar, so I’m happy I can steal some of that stuff. I was just using blocked polymar assist into unblockable, but having them drop down onto the unblockable is pretty nice too, kinda completely fucks them over. I like Chun Li but I can’t do her infinite to save my life and polymar actually has mixups and does retarded damage so I’ll stick with him.

You sure that combos? Every time I end in a launcher, the combo gauge gets reset.

I do like how he combos all the way into semi-stagger, B, C, Chun Assist, Unblockable. That’s charming xD

Generally it’s safe. But it is still very punishable a block. I can confirm this on both the delivering and receiving ends. It may perhaps be character specific, but it can be punished.

EDIT: Forgive the double post please, my laptop is screwing with me :annoy:
