does one of her rekka’s cross up or am i going mad?
Yep, the more I look at it, the more those two moves look the same, which pretty much confirms there will be no Ingrid in this game (at least not with the same moveset).
Now that you mention it, there was a Japanese video earlier where they were talking about Ingrid with that. I have to add more stuff to the first post after I eat.
The only truly common thread is the spin, though. And they’ve been doing that for a lot of characters in this archetype, for example Lili had something like that as an EX move as well. Even Vega has a spin with a finisher now.
Well, the way Karin and Ingrid spin is the same, whereas Vega’s is a bit different. I’ve always found Ingrid and Karin to be lookalikes, so I was expecting something like this. Her tights got me at first sight and I found myself looking for more resemblances. The EX spin attack (don’t know what it’s called) was what I was looking for.
Just came back from college and I see she got revealed… oh this is the best. Really glad to see that she looks quite older than before, and gave her a bit of a redesign without altering her too much. So they’ll likely do the same to Sakura.
Day 1 main for sure. Finally someone that I’m really, really interested in playing besides Nash.
Edit: The more I see footage of her, the more it seems like they took inspiration from Ingrid’s design… I think if you recolor her outfit to match Karin’s, it will look very much alike imo (this isn’t a bad thing btw, I love how she looks in SFV).
There is no way that her rekka’s are safe on block. Nothing in this game is safe on block. Even basic ass links like Ryu’s s.Mp > s.Mp can be reversaled. Block stun is ass and moves with advantage on block seem really rare.
Ingrid alt color when?
I’m extremely happy one of my SFA mains are back. I’m definitely going to put a lot of work into karin/chun and one of the new characters that interest me.
Some characters do get to have it though, Vega for example.
Karin appears to be another one of those. LK upkicks is suggested to be a safe ender outside of VT, and rekkas are only available for a limited time. It doesn’t look like you’re going to have them safe in the spacing-them-out way, but they look safe after one hit, and there’s backdash as well.
Karin looks awesome!
My Alpha 3 team is back Ken/Karin for da win.
Those are not ingrid’s moves…
If the rekkas can reliably be spaced to be safe, I’m completely fine with it tbh.
The only thing that seems disheartening about it is that most attacks in SFV tend to have a lot less blockstun than they should have.
It seems like they have enough push back to be relatively safe. I’d think it would be odd to have to build up the v trigger just to gain super unsafe commiting specials.
I don’t even mind the Lili comparisons. She was fun.
I’m glad the original came back to put Lili in her place - she’s the copy, not the other way round.
Looks vaguely like this. I wonder whether they had any 3D Karin work done during PS3 era.

Side note on safety, maybe it’s just a factor of range and unfamiliarity, but her sweep looks less punishable than most at max range, by watching.
Thread title is missing a few oh-ho-ho-hos. Please edit.
Doesn’t really work if it comes after the title IMO. Blame me for being dry and wanting to be subtle. Open to other ideas though.
Unless you want me to replace it with “elegant o-ho-ho.”
Was already sold with Mika, so this is just icing on the cake.
So glad that they made her older and altered her outfit to reflect that. Actually gives hope for when Sakura comes back.
