Karin General Thread: Elegant offense for a more civilized age

Main found

In this it looks like a 3-hit rekka, but I don’t know if that’s just canned? Doesn’t look like it’s canned, but hard to tell.

The first two hits of the rekka are canned.

The upkicks with no followup (I’m assuming light upkicks) don’t launch on hit

And she has a decent walk speed…capcom listening??? :open_mouth:

Guys, let me just do my happy dance right now! After so many years of her NOT being in the games, “she’s never gonna return because she doesnt belong to Capcom”, etc, I finally see one of my top favs back. Really happy about this

I don’t like this. Time to tweet combofiend!

I guess it’s obvious if I look at the movelist. You can end at 1, 2, or 3 hits, and there’s different options at each. 2 hits seems mainly there for the stagger trap, and 3 hits is for the mixup.

Scratch that, looks like up+p is her rainbow palm in rekkas

wheres the hardcoree weebs at so they can translate this stream

Looking at the picture of her V-trigger you can see they still had to make sure she shows a little bit of midriff. Heh.

Btw, where is her butler?? Lol

Interesting, her eyes went from brown to almost yellow.

Far right of her stage you’ll see him in his iconic red apron.

Okay, so the up+k is a jumping hitgrab I think. Seems to whiff on crouchers.

Her sHK is a crush counter, causes a flip out crush.

Her taunt needs to be the “ohohoho”

Now I must have color edit.

Okay, with all the moveset variation I guess I will probably be able to accept a rekka VT. Not going to lie, I’ll miss the counter though.

Pokes are cool.

Does anyone know how long this stream is going?
