Karin announced for SFV

Oh wow, you can't use her rekkas unless you're in V-Trigger mode. Didn't realize that till they just said it.

Pretty lame imo.

Her most interesting characteristic was that you could use pretty much any special move as a part of her rekka. If that's V-trigger only now then I'm a bit less interested.

The animation for this is so nice. I knew her CC pose would be her V-Trigger activation but I was incorrect in guessing that her V-trigger would be Custom Combos.

Also as a sidenote her V-reversal is pretty quick it is probably one of the better ones.

Edit:
Surprised I haven't seen any Karin avatars yet. Get to work people. :)

I would change mine but I am hopeless when it comes to making avatars.

Well, that's a nice little surprise. I guess the new rekka enders were made with V-Trigger in mind. Hell, if there's a place for the palm/slide flowchart that a lot of Karin players follow when they're panicking or just plain lazy, it's in V-Trigger.
 
Her v-skill looks strong and it builds her meter really fast. The host was saying that building meter is basically your top priority as karin

Also, the leggings look really good. Hard to object to this costume. It's cute but still subtle. I'm sure she'll have some alt outfits that show some skin for those that want it.
 
It was a vague statement.

but to play the game.

Alex was in Tatsunoku V Capcom and 3rd Strike got a rerelease...so they don't fit in the second like the Alpha 4 did.

As for characters you expect...Alex and Urien missed the cut in SFIV so by that you could expect them to get first dibs in SFV.

but at the end of the day, the leaks have been exact so far. Believing a random statement over them is a bit weird because of that.

It really reads as Capcom dudes are aware of the leaks and are doing everything in their power to keep people guessing because it is a great marketing tool and has been working (Karin's tease was tottally Dudley doe).


For one thing, he wasn't supposed to originally be in Tatsunoku V Capcom. Also Tatsunoku V Capcom isn't a game very many people played anyway. A rerelease still doesn''t equal a brand new sequel of a mainline series.
 
Her V skill being her rekkas is not a problem imo .

Her rekkas are special moves, they just can't be done unless she's in V Trigger mode. Her V Skill is that quick-step and palm attack. It seems like it can be charged a little? Can't tell, they aren't playing Karin right now.
 
Karin having access to Rekkas only in V-Trigger seems like something designed to separate her from a future Rekka character like Fei.
 
It's a shame her reveal wasn't featured during the Sony presser like so many of us thought it would be tbh. Would've gone down a treat.
 
I'll wait till they finish the game and flesh out the roster, Blonde Fighter 5 doesn't have the match ups I want at all, bad move front loading with so many similar looking characters.


I doubt you're the only one!
She's grown up in this entry, that and the lipstick are an indicator.
