Karin General Thread: Elegant offense for a more civilized age

What are those? Never played darkstalkers

But if you mean like normal xx dash crLK., then it probably doesn’t work? I saw someone do crMK xx dash and get hit by Ryu’s sweep
Then again, people have been blocking normal xx dash cr.HP so :\

I hype her v trigger lasts a good while like bisons or birdies would suck to learn all her rekkas strings and only be able to get one off per match lol

As of right now in the absence of my 3s gods, she is chatacter I’m most hype for

It’s a 2 bar V trigger, so it definitely doesn’t last as long as Bison’s or Birdie’s. However, she gets 2 per round so there’s that.

Not quite Bison duration but still good, and also a lot easier to build.

Base duration seems to be about 35 seconds, so you’re not realistically going to get lamed out. Each rekka takes off parts of the gauge, but not a lot except the sway.

Hey R-D, could you update the thread title?

Question is, to what, though?

Also, I mentioned this on the last page or two, but I want to make sure people actually want it. I know some people like the simple thread titles and don’t say anything about it, I lean that way a little but I’m not going to hold it hostage or anything. Main thing I think is that the character name should go first.

Edit: self-quote:

I saw early in the thread something akin to “OH-HO-HO-HO-HO! Karin Thread”

It gave me a good chuckle.

Karin looks pretty hype I’ll tell you, I love her design, a snob little rich girl but that can kick some ass, even though I’m not too interested in her playstyle, I’ll definetely give her a try, gotta be fun!

Hmm the the main thing that worries me about her rekkas is that there isn’t really any pushback on the first and 2nd hit of the rekka. In A3 spacing your rekkas correctly was a huge part in keeping your rekkas relatively safe, but now when you do rekkas you always seem to right up next to the opponents face.

I vote for: “Curly fries are classless: Karin thread” since everyone seems to be making fun of her beautiful hair @_@

Well in Darkstalkers characters can attack while dashing to cancel out the dash. If you’re quick enough with it you can combo into another dash to keep the combo or blockstring going with characters like BB Hood and Lilith. I.E Dash lp crouch lp, standing lp into dash lp again. In one of the game plays. it looked like Karin dash into a series of crouch lks, then dash again and canceled into a grab. It’s something that is often done with BB Hood in Savior. Pressure them with dash strings then dash into a command grab. If Karin plays like that, I’d be so happy I don’t know what I’d do!

Thats more what Ken is in this game. Karin has a command dash that can cancel into certain canned moves; the uppercut or the tetsuzanko. If you want to do anything else you need to wait until the command dash is fully completed.

Wasn’t this pretty much the case with every character we’ve got so far? They show a new character, he or she is somewhat unfinished, and as the time goes they get polished further

Ok just watched the trailer.

She has the most fuckin hype CA in the game. Dat Bruce Lee impetus punch at the end. Godlike.

Im just glad they got rid of those retarded biker shorts. .had her looking like a mc hammer video girl reject

What?

I don’t have a problem with it being slightly negative, as I think most rekkas are on block. I just don’t want it to be punishable on block is all, considering they require the use of an expendable, time-limited resource. If they are punishable, the second string should be a delayable, fast attack that can be used for frame traps. If neither of those are the case, her sway should at least cost the same amount of matter as everything else, since while safer than her old counter, it doesn’t actually scare the opponent from throwing out a jab or fast medium normal.

fresh prince already terrified something might be unsafe on block lol
:x

Does her face look mad weird to anyone else?
