Karin General Thread: Elegant offense for a more civilized age

[Eternal]

It seems strange at first, but then it seems like they made all of her special moves rekka-like instead of having just one. Safe-on-block specials are pretty rare in this game, so I think I’m happy with this decision rather than nerfing the rekka.

Counter will be missed, but crucially they ensured that you can avoid getting DPed out of your rekka mixup by making the backdash an easy follow-up. My assumption right now is that it’s the kick followup, and because of that, rekka seems extremely safe.

My favorite thing is that her pokes still look really strong. V-skill appears like one of the better ones at first look.

Incidentally in one of the above videos, VT is active for 32 seconds while only using rekka once. It seems like every use of rekka takes off a small amount of the bar.

The way it works for all install v-triggers other than Necalli’s is that they take off extra time when you use the moves attached to them. Bison’s lasts 60 seconds if you don’t do anything. Cammy’s lasts a decent amount of time but if you do any of her specials it drains like almost 1/3rd of her bar.

Her rekkas being VT-only gives me hope we’ll see a true rekka character further down the line. THE true rekka character.

Fei Long?

Kyo, naturally. It’s the MC billing.

Does it work that way for Ryu and Chun? I know Cammy and Bison get it, but Cammy’s bar is pretty short regardless such that she only gets 2 specials if she doesn’t use them quickly.

Just thankful that it’s not a case where you would be too concerned about having your VT lamed out.

Sorry but Tron does the laugh better. o~hohohoho

I would actually be interested in hearing all the voice actresses capcom have forced to do that laugh. They have at least three characters who are well known for it.

Fei Long?

Of course. There are several SF archetypes: shoto, grappler, charge zoner. And the rekka character - named after Fei’s main tool, Rekkaken, the first multipart-special move in SF.

Now I have a reason to play this game.

O HO HO HO HO HO HO HO HO HO HO!!!

[HiyaMaya]

So c.MK and s.HP are both cancellable?

[GenUser]

Hype intensifies

Also looks like s.HP anti air might still be a thing. Gonna watch this some more and see what i can get from it

6:13 c.MP s.MP link

10:00 v-trigger rekka into overhead can at least combo into c.LP on crouching

10:55 qcfK~P juggle into CA

11:30 c.MP c.MP link

11:56 qcbK looks like it could be safe without any followups?

[Great_Dark_Hero]

Karin released… which means now I have yet another secondary!! Happy as hell right now!

[Bloodcrave]

edit: nvm posted already

[mykka]

Damn she’s still trending HARD on twitter! Insane!

[mykka]

Can we change the title of the thread? Karin deserves better

[Cathrao]

Yeeeesh~! All my yesh! This game is getting too fuckin’ hype for me.

[R-D]

She looks cool in blue in that video.

So c.MK and s.HP are both cancellable?

c.MP, c.MK, s.HP, c.HP. New video also shows s.MP is cancelable, might show more but I’m not done watching yet.

Other options are unknown. Haven’t seen anyone try s.MK.

Damn she’s still trending HARD on twitter! Insane!

In all things be victorious! - Karin thread

and the more likely,

Oooohohohohoho~! - Karin thread

[mykka]

Finally understood what she says in the beginning:

“I’ll show you the divide in our class.”

Yup. Still a snobby bitch haha

[R-D]

As long as the character name comes first in the title I’m not too picky. Whenever I want the Vega thread I have to spend a whole second looking for it, which is clearly unconscionable. Got to have that lazy first-letter vertical scan.

[HiyaMaya]

I feel like v-skill might be a good whiff punish/footsie tool.
