This is Pumpkarin. This shall now be MY color and MY color alone. No one will use the bumpkin.

No one.

Much love for China. “Room clean stop!”

uhh…whats up with the dude in the background

gave up being an npc

Regarding that meterless EX Tenko, can you still do it if you have no bars? If so I’d imagine it’s intentional, put if it’s just failing to spend meter I think it’s unintended.

Nah you can’t do it if you have no bar, obviously though since you wouldn’t be able to start the EX-dash in the first place to go into tenko.

Theres no way they’d keep it in the game, you’re just able to throw out EX-Tenkos all day into more EX-Tenkos

Like I said, they’re nerfing meterless bnbs. Being able to do meter based bnbs without spending the meter? GGPO

Is it confirmed her face has been updated or is it just the resolution differences in the pics taken?

To me its clear but my friend is saying its just the picture quality/angle. Any other pictures?

Yeah, no real reason to keep meterless EX Tenko. Her current meterless stuff, such as cr.LPx2 xx Tenko > Stuff and CH s.LK/s.MP > cr.MK xx Tenko is already pretty godly simply due to positioning and the fact that you get decent enough oki off any stray hit.

Honestly, if she keeps those things, even if they kill her damage, she’ll have a very strong toolset for this game. When I was at Canada Cup, I won most of my matches on the winner stays on stations (Lost to DaFeetLee in my first match and some Chun player after a 40 minute streak). Most of it was just footsies, tick throws, V-Reversal, occasional V-Trigger setups and frame trap confirms into Tenko. The rest of her tools are superfluous, IMO. f.MK was good.

I did not notice a model change when I played. I think it was just an animation change which altered the lighting and eyebrow position.

Right around here (6:25ish), I opt for the command grab after rekkas and it beats Sim’s V-reversal clean:

I used and fought a ton of Karin over the weekend. Even had Haunts confirm it, they fixed up her face.

I assume these costume colors are all just modded but I imagine it wouldn’t be strange if datamined colors showed up at some point.

IMO, the color combination on the brown-hair green-eyed Karin “works” pretty well for her. Hope there’s something like that in the actual game, could use some more in-between colors instead of just extremes of blonde/black/white hair and pastel clothes.

they did
i personally don’t like them except for classic red

Needs a white/grey costume and a black costume.

I bet the green one looks nice in motion. Not usually a fan of green.

I guess 10 is the only actually dark color. Odd that 6 and 10 are so similar.

I have a feeling I’m going to dislike Karin even more than I do already. =P

No more oh oh oh’s.
