i'm happy she is in there

I just don't see what the big fuss was about her.

I just always loved her moveset, especially how you could mix and match her rekkas and counters. Plus the mocking laugh!!

 

[jerry1594]

Really? She's Sakura's rival but she plays NOTHING like her. She's more like an evolved Fei Long.

Superficially

 

[beyond_death]

Wow Karin looks wonderful. I might try and main her.

 

[roknin]

"Is anyone else getting a slight Akira VF vibe from some of her animations. I'm liking that back/hip check slam"

As mentioned previously, a lot of her moves are inspired by Baji Quan, which is the same Kung Fu style Akira, Julia/Michelle Chang/Leo from Tekken, Yun/Yang, etc. are inspired by.

Indeed. The fighting style is a big reason I'm a fan of all of those characters (and main Julia, Leo and Karin in their games).

 

[『Inaba Resident』]

Seems like you can special cancel almost every normal with her

 

[Dremark]

Actually no. How come people automatically assume this shit about all female characters?

I wanted her for her moveset. Now that that's changed I don't even know if I want to use her anymore.

The people who complain about the females characters and insist that people want them as waifus are obviously just projecting. They want thier own waifus to be in the game and are just jealous.

I still think her moveset looks good, but I'm disappointed it got changed. I still plan on maining her but I'm going to miss the counters and command throw.

She's the Sakura version of Ken, and has an odd laugh.

She plays absolutely nothing like Ken at all while Sakura literally imitates Ryu. She's Sakura's Rival and has a few superficial similarities with Ken but aside from that she's her own character.

 

[LordCiego]

Great, my favourite revealed character after Mika. Just waiting for the 2 new ones and hoping that the leaks are true and the other 2 are Alex and Urien.

 

[Forkball]

Ironically they actually gave her MORE clothing.

 

[Akhe]

Whoooaaaa

 

[denshuu]

Karin's similarities to Ken:
1) They wear red
2) Their name begins with K

That's pretty much it.

 

[DryEyeRelief]

Karin's similarities to Ken:

That's pretty much it.

That's good enough to be Sakura's Ken. Street Fighter isn't a deep series.

They're both rich and blond?

 

[DarknessTear]

Hmmm... I really like the trailer! She looks fun. Surprised there's so much negativity in this thread about her.

Sweet. She looks great.

 

[DryEyeRelief]

They're both rich and blond?

That's actually a huge point since a big part of the Ryu/Ken rivalry is Ryu's humble beginnings and nomad status vs Ken being part of a rich family.

And she's blond haired brown eyed(formerly), much like Ken's image.

 

[FleckSplat]

They got rid of her thunder thighs.

 

[Maligna]

And yet another terrible character that should have been confined to the Alpha series. Meh.

Define, "terrible".

 

[Kane1345]

Hmmm... I really like the trailer! She looks fun. Surprised there's so much negativity in this thread about her.

Nearly every reveal thread is like this

 

[FACE]

Shame she doesn't have her counters anymore.

 

[MegamanPoweredUP]

Not digging her, not at all.
Blond fighters, blond fighters everywhere. Stop that for god sake.

RIP Alex

Man, Karin IS Sakura's Ken. That's a fact.

 

[Mr. Nice_Guy]

Damn, looks better than I hoped! Which pretty much sums up everything I've seen at TGS so far.

 

[Chie Satonaka]

Glad to see she's back for her fans.

 

[Eidan]

This is great, but it just makes me want Sakura more, especially out of a school girl outfit.

 

[Sumio Mondo]

They got rid of her thunder thighs.

There's probably going to be an alternate costume showing her Alpha version costume. Hopefully.

nuki!

 

[Übermatik]

Don't mind me, still sitting her waiting for Juri

:|

 

[TonberrysKnife]

I'm a Karin fan but she looks good. I really want Sean lol.

 

[DarknessTear]

Nearly every reveal thread is like this

Oh in that case can I bitch in every character reveal thread until we get a random character from Rival Schools?

 

[SUPARSTARX]

Damn, another obscure and boring character they put in.

Going to hafta beat the living day lights out of these Karin and R.Mika players with Bison when the game drops for asking for her.

 

[Poimandres]

Some bitter people in here, which I just don't get. I'm very happy with this inclusion but that's not really the point.

I don't play grappler characters but I wasn't talking shit about Mika or anything. Let these characters who have only appeared in a single game have a chance to shine!

 

[Finaika]

I'm wondering if this means Sakura is in too.

 

[Dremark]

Ironically they actually gave her MORE clothing.

It's not really all that surprising, she's never been a fanservice heavy character and being more covered up fits her image better.

That's good enough to be Sakura's Ken. Street Fighter isn't a deep series.

It's true, but all the similarities are superficial. From gameplay to personality she's nothing like Ken, although she was obviously made to mirror the Ryu/Ken rivalry with Sakura.

 

[Qvoth]

goddamn her specials looks so much more awesome in ex mode, there's like a wave thing
her v skill looks kinda hard to use to cancel enemy projectiles

 

[nilbog21]

is the music in these reveal trailers original? track is always so good

 

[BokehKing]

Damn man, if they don't announce guile/Blanka soon, I may have to skip out on this I think. I want my mains, I'm sure she will look and perform awesome but come on..

 

[NinjaMouse]

Oh in that case can I bitch in every character reveal thread until we get a random character from Rival Schools?

Of course...it's easy for people to make noise for obscure characters that no one really cares about. I'm surprised people aren't here crying over the injustice of leaving out some ridiculous EX characters or some thing.

The underdog can always find a fan base somewhere.

 

[Maligna]

Damn, another obscure and boring character they put in.

you dont thnk guile or blanka will be in this? lol

 

[Dremark]

It means he doesn't like her.

 

[SgtCobra]

Damn man, if they don't announce guile/Blanka soon, I may have to skip out on this I think. I want my mains, I'm sure she will look and perform awesome but come on..

Prepare yourself to skip this game then bruh

 

[Poimandres]

Damn man, if they don't announce guile/Blanka soon, I may have to skip out on this I think. I want my mains, I'm sure she will look and perform awesome but come on..

You got Nash bro, Guile won't be coming for a while.

Obviously they will both be put into the game, but unlikely at launch.

 

[Windforce]

YEAH!!

Man 2015 is so unreal for reveals... Final Fantasy VII Remake, TLG, Shenmue...

Spoiler

Hot Ryu! ♡

Now Karin for SFV. Dream year!

:')

 

[Dremark]

Damn man, if they don't announce guile/Blanka soon, I may have to skip out on this I think. I want my mains, I'm sure she will look and perform awesome but come on..

I don't think either will make the base roster. On the other hand, I don't think either will wait all that long either though.

 

[Sesha]

Damn man, if they don't announce guile/Blanka soon, I may have to skip out on this I think. I want my mains, I'm sure she will look and perform awesome but come on..

They're not gonna make the initial roster. Sorry.

But the roster is only 16 characters large. Not everyone's favorite is gonna make it.

Damn, another obscure and boring character they put in.

Going to hafta beat the living day lights out of these Karin and R.Mika players with Bison when the game drops for asking for her.

You poor thing. Damn these people for waiting 17 years for their favorite characters.

 

[Pompadour]

Why are there pink ninjas hanging from the ceiling and on ropes in this stage?

Bison Kappa

 

[Mermandala]

Karin is just that rich. Tony Montana wants tigers, he gets tigers. Girl wants some pink Ninjas? Done.

Anime killing another fighting game.

RIP SF

Guile doesn't play anything like Nash anymore. There's a big chance he will be back soon.
