Karin General Thread: Elegant offense for a more civilized age

This is SFV, you know they didn’t do that LOL

A man can dream. I still hold out hope that Capcom will decide to go cheap and release old versions of characters. Play some fast O.Bison that’s like his previous incarnations, O.Karin with on demand rekkas, that sort of thing.

So cr.mk TENKO Mujinkyaku combo is gone ?? :bawling:
Did you guys test this in “Stress test build” (one with Laura) ?
God, I spent few hours for combo timing, and now it’s gone :frowning:

These changes come directly from someone’s uncle (the janitor) who works at Capcom and has access to the latest build. I wouldn’t stress about it too much.

Did anyone test this in "stress test build, like 5 days ago ?

I only got to play for about 10 seconds during the stress test, but I was still able to cancel cr.MK. My go-to link was cr. HP > cr.MK, since I hadn’t discovered the awesomeness that was st.MP yet.

Anyone else feel her cocky character was taken from her and gievn t oLaura instead? The only time she feels like her old stylish, cocky self is after the CA. But even that feels lacking, IMO. Am I the only one?

She starts with ohoho and spins fools with ohoho. The first thing she says in a round is smack talk about how good kanzuki ryu is. After that it’s pure control , grace and technique executed to perfection till they down.

Sounds exactly who I signed up for so many many years ago.

Good match, with the exception of the start of the second round, I felt Feet did pretty well imposing his will and getting Ricki in positions he wanted her in… Dem throws tho lol.

thanks for the video… cr.MK TENKO is still possible !!! yaya :pray:

I was surprised to see that you could link a st.LK after landing a qcb.LP

It was a crouching counter hit, so I’m sure that it’s counter hit only, but that’s still pretty cool, considering you can beat fireballs with the move. He followed up with qcf.P, does anyone know if you can combo any other specials after a st.LK? I’m assuming qcb.HK will work, if we can get a Just-Frame Tenko afterwards, that would be amazing.

St.lk is cancelable into pretty much everything but RP; JFL is what you should be going for if you’ve hit confirmed. The Rekka overhead has always been able to be comboed out of.

I know you can cancel it into any special, I was asking if those particular moves would combo as a result.

So we always knew that you could combo after her qcb overhead? I knew she had the sweep followup, but I never knew about linking afterwards. Is it counter hit only?

I thought only rekka overhead could be linked after or something weird like that.

Oh, well now that you mention it, when I saw it, it was the rekka version of the overhead. That makes it a little less cool, but still cool. Maybe it’s not counter hit only then?

That’s what I was answering. You can’t go into RP but you can go into upkicks, JFL, and Rekka.

Overhead Rekka being comboable on any hit has always been the case, it was in the reveal trailer IIRC. This is probably because you don’t get the slide follow-up

Oh ok, thanks.

I think you’re right about the links being possible due to the lack of a slide followup, at least if you use the overhead as the third rekka in the chain, since I believe if you use it second, you can still get the slide.

It’s second chain only and no slide after it.

If frame data is accurate and remains accurate, rekka overhead is +4 on hit so that’s why. Normal Ressenha is +2 so on a counter it should be+4 like the rekka, allowing the same links.
Trying to get counters on her moves opens up a variety of potential combos, though it can be hard with the size of the gaps. MK Mujin is also +2(so should be +4)
