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

Well, she has blonde hair like Ken. That's probably what that meant

 

[cj_iwakura]

Classy new outfit, though it seems like they laid on an extra layer of bitchy.

Oh well, gimme.

Looks like he got laid off.

 

[Troubled Bat]

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.

Can't wait to beat scrubby Bison players with Karin.

 

[Omnistalgic]

She looks really fun. As a ken main, I feel it's my duty to second her, and looks like I'm gonna have one heck of a time.

Don't think Sakura is in at the beginning, but definitely early DLC along with Guile.

 

[Krackatoa]

Holy hell, her cr.M looks amazing.

Her Rekka options don't look too intimidating though. I was worried about it being too dumb.

Nah man, he's in the vid totally chilling over on the Western Opulence wing of the mansion.

 

[GrayDock]

Awesome news!!!
Hope she gets in the beta!!

 

[Omnistalgic]

Oh snap, it's a cocky, female akira. I'm definitely learning her!

 

[Hyun Sai]

So far I like all the cast except Birdie.

Good ratio.

What's the problem people have with blonde by the way ? Is it some kind of minority representation issue or something ?

 

[Beesuit]

Looks like he got laid off.

Her butler's still there in the background of her stage.

 

[Renekton]

Abel.

Getting mixed-up by Abel is certainly not boring D:

 

[Nephtes]

Loved Karin in SFA3...
I really don't like how her design transferred over into 3D.

Ibuki and Sakura made the transition to 3D really well during SFIV...what happened here?

Is there a different concept artist working on SFV than was responsible for SFIV?

It seems like for every "Hot Ryu" success with SFV we get a "Banana Hair Ken" failure.

I'm sorry man but I really can't see how the art in SFIV is better then this.

honestly think the direction in V is leaps and bounds ahead, but I guess not everyone has the same tastes.

 

[Kain]

I honestly don't see the problem with Karin's face or design overall. In SFIV we got Hulk-Ryu, weird face Rose or Psycho-Ken, all inked down with that strange shader for the skin. SFV's art is flawless.

 

[Tizoc]

SF5's graphics are far better than SF4, like an evolution of the concept or ideas for the graphics and presentation seen in SF4.

 

[papertoonz]

What's the problem people have with blonde by the way ? Is it some kind of minority representation issue or something ?

so far we have 12 characters, 7 of them a blonde and if leaks are true we could be 1 or more blondes

Capcom hitting all the white fighters with the ugly stick for some reason.

 

[Woody Invincible]

Preorder redeemed! Give me Alex too. I want half the roster to be blonde at launch.

 

[OsirisBlack]

watching the 15 minute vid she seems pretty solid her buttons look pretty good for footsies and anti air.

 

[The Hermit]

Yo, that stage is more hype than the character announcement.

This stage looks like something from Alpha 2 in 3D.

Fucking finaly!

 

[CDV13]

I was told there would be counters. I have been let down.

Looks like they made the V-Reversal animation her old counter animation.

About an hour of gameplay from XusesGB channel.

 

[FACE]

Classy new outfit, though it seems like they laid on an extra layer of bitchy.

Oh well, gimme.



Looks like he got laid off.

He's on her stage.

 

[Sayad]

I guess him wearing an anime avatar wasn't an obvious enough clue. ;p

 

[Troubled Bat]

I like everyone but Chun-Li. xP I probably would have liked her she that one move she lost from the first trailer. Along with her command normal/target combo. Tenshokyaku.

We have Nash, Cammy, Birdie, Ken, Vega, R. Mika, and Karin. 7 total. If Urien/Alex is also in the starting roster then that would be 8. (Technically 9, but Urien changes his hair color to silver/white)

I honestly don't see the problem with Karin's face or design overall. In SFIV we got Hulk-Ryu, weird face Rose or Psycho-Ken, all inked down with that strange shader for the skin. SFV's art is flawless.

She had a weird face?

 

[SolVanderlyn]

The Alpha representation in this game is nice, but Karin's stage is the real takeaway here. So beautiful.

 

[Warxard]

I honestly don't see the problem with Karin's face or design overall. In SFIV we got Hulk-Ryu, weird face Rose or Psycho-Ken, all inked down with that strange shader for the skin. SFV's art is flawless.

I sure love BananaKen (both the player and SFV's Ken,) titty-warping Chun-Li, Gravel faced Vega, noodle-haired R.Mika. At least Cammy was fixed...

SFV has issues with hair rendering and the 'clay model' look isn't impressive at all. It's an improvement from SFV, but not much.

 

[McNum]

Karin, eh? Well, it's about time she got to return.

I'll admit, I have no idea how to play Karin, (and saying she's like Fei Long doesn't help, since i have no idea how to play Fei Long either), but I'm willing to learn. She looks pretty fun.

Actually, what IS a rekka character, anyway? What's the gameplan for those?

 

[IntelliHeath]

is it safe to presume that it's her parents in background?

 

[Mupod]

Ohohohohohohoho

Getting hyped for Alex and Urien now.

 

[Rymuth]

I say, goddamn!

Everything we know IS Wrong.

 

[djplaeskool]

Dat Ojou laugh.

 

[Troubled Bat]

What is that statue in the background? It's face reminds me of Goro (MK)

 

[Floex]

The stage is so far above with what we have seen so far. I hope work is being put into the ones we have seen to make them look better.

Yeah, I know, but nobody called SFIV "Brunette Fighter IV", so I don't understand the heavy bias against blonde hair.

 

[88random]

I never liked her, but she looks great here. SF V is really nailing all of the characters in terms of gameplay so far.

 

[joe2187]

her moveset reminds me alot of Julia from SFxT


I like it.

 

[Gbraga]

OOOOHOHOHOHOHOHO

GODDAMN KARIN IS AMAZING, HOLY SHIT
DO
PHJOPSHSJOHPDJOFPH

WHAT DO I DO NOW, THERE'S KARIN, MIKA AND RYU, WHO DO I PLAY, SWIFTRAGE

 

[JokerAceX]

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

:|

Juri isn't going to be on the starting roster. Honestly I don't expect for any of the new characters introduced in IV to be in V for a long while even if added as DLC.

 

[Troubled Bat]

Yeah, I know, but nobody called SFIV "Brunette Fighter IV", so I don't understand the heavy bias against blonde hair.

I don't have a problem with it at all. People are just weird.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Stage reminds me of this old fanart:

 

[F0rneus]

Slept like 4 hours before work. But it was worth it. Karin, man! Gawd!

 

[One Punch-Man]

Not liking her face

 

[Ultimadrago]

He's joking, man. (Unless you're joking too, can't tell.)

 

[Gbraga]

Not liking her face

 

[Kane1345]

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

I feel your pain trust me. I was one of the people who was just really happy Mika was in and then the thread turned into a debate about whether her clothing was appropriate or not and how she "wasn't the character I wanted" and I bailed.

 

[Wedge7]

Man, that stage was beautiful. I mean seriously, just looked so vibrant, just leapt out. The mountains in the background, damn.

 

[jmdajr]

coool!

 

[Pics_nao]

Oh sweet. Now just give me Alex and I'll be there day one on PC too.

 

[jett]

Man this game just keeps looking fucking awesome. Seems that one list was real as fuck in the end. Urien and Alex are coming maynes.
