Karin General Thread: Elegant offense for a more civilized age

That theme is cool. Has a jazzy feel to it or something.

SpyxTEC · November 6, 2015, 6:03pm

EX launcher/palm cost 1 bar, even with justframe version now

Zephryse · November 6, 2015, 6:15pm

Figured that’d be fixed fairly quickly.

As for costumes, I agree on the classic red being the best one. None of the others really click with me.

Naeras · November 6, 2015, 6:19pm

As long as that’s the only thing they nerfed about her, I’m completely fine with it.

DevilJin_01 · November 6, 2015, 6:41pm

After seeing Ryu’s nerfs you really think that’s gonna be the only thing? :get_outta_here:

Naeras · November 6, 2015, 8:16pm

I GOTTA BELIEVE ;_;

For the record, supposedly Ryu got a walkspeed buff, so that’s something at least.

Zebster · November 6, 2015, 10:01pm

Word is that her mixups got nerfed.

Muttonman · November 6, 2015, 10:26pm

She supposedly lost the ability to combo out of cr.LK which is a huge nerf but I’ll test it tonight

Krackatoa · November 6, 2015, 10:29pm

Looool. I might have called the s.MP nerf.

Someone check CH s.MP > cr.MK

Slizzard · November 7, 2015, 12:29am

At least her face didn’t get nerfed. She always looked weird and they changed it for the better imo. It’s not perfect but it’s a hell of a lot better than it used to be.

MAGUS1234 · November 7, 2015, 3:23am

Wrong thread sorry!

Materia · November 7, 2015, 8:20am

Can confirm that she lost c.lk to jab
CH s.MP into c.MK still works, all other links seem to work just the same

GenUser · November 7, 2015, 8:41am

Ooooh no its not lol

Killey · November 7, 2015, 11:43am

This might be true.

I tried EX Shoulder, s.Strong/cr.Strong xx Command dash and every version could not cross over the opponent. Tried doing some delays and walk up normal into command dash and got the same result. Only EX dash could cross under but the spacing is off and it’s highly telegraphed. Which is strange since a friend of mine said on day 1 of the mini-test he was able to do EX Shoulder, cr.Strong or walk forward cr.Strong xx short command dash and you could get the left/right mix up against Chun. When I tested under the same conditions on day 2 of the mini-test it didn’t work at all.

Krackatoa · November 7, 2015, 1:42pm

Oh, that’s great then. If CH s.LK > cr.MK still works too, I feel she’s golden.

Muttonman · November 7, 2015, 8:15pm

They may have messed with wake up timings as well; the JFL VSkill wasn’t doing nice and easy safejumps against Laura in training mode

MarLonLonMilk · November 8, 2015, 4:27am

Krackatoa:

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.

If you’re that dude that plays on hitbox, I’m that Chun player lol.

Good run, dude. If not, then Karin players ran a train on niggas that weekend it seems.

Krackatoa · November 8, 2015, 10:59am

Nah, that was me.

DevilJin_01 · November 8, 2015, 11:06am

No more Setplay Fighter V. Back to SF LOL

Rounin · November 8, 2015, 2:44pm
