Wait, wait, wait…so unless Karin activates her V-Trigger she can’t use any rekka? What the fuck is this shit?
Day one main. I’ve been waiting my whole life for this moment.
The stage is called the Kanzuki Estate. Capcom is streaming game play right now. Karin is 5’5" 130lbs (162cm 59kg).
Tempting argument.
Yeah, some of them are different though. Like the sweep is clearly Kusabi based on seeing it used after qcb+P in the trailer, but that’s not the old name.
Seems that way. Outside V-Trigger she still has her QCB+K/P rekkas, but not her Guren Ken.
Ha, Karin and Lili now have basically the same neutral stance
I really hope her alpha 3 theme is back. Then, she will be perfect!
QCB+k is her hopkick so that’s still in.
QCB+p is her wheel punch.
I’m assuming that qcf+k is the command dash. Maybe a quick one is palm strike, a slow one the shoulder, and the down punch the launcher?
She keeps her overhead.
Okay, I’m assuming her VT is an install which grants her access to her Rekkas. My best shot at figuring this out. First off, I think each punch or kick strength actually has an effect. This would explain how in her trailer the elbow rush combos but it didn’t in that clip.
2nd
Punch followup is the palm strike
Down punch is the elbow rush
Up punch is probably the wheel punch
I suspect kick is a sway, which she then does a palm strike into EX wheel punch.
3rd
Down punch is a crossup elbow
Down kick is a slide (same for wheel punch followup)
Up kick is something else (same for wheel punch followup)
Japanese version of her laugh still isn’t quite the OHHH OHOHOH I wanted. A3 version was def better

She has the laugh at the character select screen too.
Ok she definitely has the slide followup during V-trigger rekkas, just saw it on stream. Renamed it I guess.
So:
- She has no command normals besides overhead
- She has no punch specials other than rainbow palm.
Which means palm strike must be her V-skill. Poke with variable range? (hold the button down), knocks opponent in the air for a juggle and absorbs fireballs.
QCF+K is probably command dash, if you press P quickly you get the shoulder instead? Not sure what the down+P ender is for that move.
QCB+K is upkicks. Just saw it onstream canceled into something that looks almost like her f+MK? That’s not in the movelist.
QCB+P is rainbow palm (chicken wing replicant.) Cancels into slide or up+K which is who knows what.
I like how on the left of the character select screen everybody except Ryu is blonde lol
Gotta make that money back.
Oh no…did they simplify the Rekka inputs to 236+P -> followup? She seems to do the 2 hits automatically
Rekkas definitely VT only. But they kept a bunch of variable enders to keep the gameplay there.
I guess they felt it was too strong compared to what everyone else has for pressure, so they decided to give you an amped version instead.
Good point; palm strike is definitely her v skill. Probably just knocks back unless held. Upkicks have a canned followup.
So we just don’t know what her up+k followup to rainbow palm and rekkas is, as I think the launcher is the down P.
I believe Karin is the only character to have 5 points in Technique on the character spider chart.
