K so it looks like you can cancel every first rep of the Rekka into any of the enders except the cross-up. The only thing I’m confused about now is what does QCF+P~P do? Lol maybe it is just the followup on hit?
Isn’t qcfP the first 2 hits of the rekka? Ive never seen the rekka being used without the first 2 hits. So qcfP~P is probably palm ender.
Alright I figured it out, QCF+P~P is when you land the hit and all 3 hits combo. QCF+P~C.P doesn’t combo but allows you to cancel into more followups.
Both animations look the same but the latter is a little slower and not a true string, my life is complete.
I HAVE NEVER BEEN MORE ERECT, THANK YOU CAPGODS.
Not gonna lie, my second thought after seeing the Karin revealed was “I wonder how TheFreshPrince is going to react to this”. You did not disappoint. =V
My first thought after seeing the reveal was “FUCK YES I’M MAINING THIS CHICK”, by the way.
her v skill fills up 24% of her v gauge on hit
@TheFreshPrince I’ve never seen someone sum up my own feelings so perfectly with a series of .gifs.
Have to wait a couple hours before I can watch the gameplay vids. :s
The grab out of qcbP overhead seems pretty useless. Only works on standing opponents and there is nothing to make the opponent stand up after the move, and she can just be hit out of it anyway.
Theeeere it is. Been waiting for that reaction.
I’m assuming it’s used when you’re at a distance and whiff it completely, but yeah I was thinking the same thing.
I think they should’ve gave back her counter and command grab as well, even if it’s behind the v-trigger. The other stuff is great, but that was part of the appeal to playing her as well.
I’m glad that she seems to retain all of her normals and it looks like there will be a good bit to learn with her new stuff. 'Liking the new stage too. The music has a sort of Soul Calibur vibe to it.
Thats exactly what i thought, especially since ive been playing SC5 again recently.
Just realised shes got that Lili vibe to her with all the french. She even has Lili’s fighting pose. I think they should make her V-trigger permanent like Necallis. I mean, it can be so powerful that she will need to have a timer on it, surely?
I think the V-Trigger is fine as it is since the V-Skill gives so much. We’ll have to see what they do to balance her later on, though.
I love her updated look. Regal enough to be recognizable as Karin, but upgraded to not just be a school girl outfit. She looks great.
Dat laugh too
I’m pretty neutral about Karin for now. But DAMN, that stage looks f*cking gorgeous!
To clarify, do people want a subtitle after the main one? I don’t mind if there’s not, and if anything it’s a preference but a couple people asked earlier.
If there is one there’s a bunch of references you could make and I can’t pick my poison. “Ladies first” would fit well for a pre-release announcement. I could say something about VIP early entry. Or just go with the default “Who’s laughing now?”
Couldn’t really hear the stage music very well. It sounded a lot different from the usual style.
Didn’t think of that, you could probably do that as a gimmick. But I expect there’s some property in it that we’re missing.
I’m fucking sold now. I’m about to buy a PS4 and SFV all because of this one reveal. Karin is life.
When I saw her amazing stage, this immediately crossed my mind!
Her V Trigger betwixed me at first, but I’m sure she’ll be great. With this roster, capcom has taken good care to make every character viable and I’m sure Karin is no different.
From the sounds of it, it seems like her v skill builds a lot of trigger meter, so that works out.
