Her face, outfit and many of her move animations look jank. I don't think this character's finished yet. Or at least I hope not.

For me I think her hair needs work. Those curls just didn't transition well for me. Face is fine for the most part, at least matches the aesthetic. Cammy and Chun Li turned out better though. Hoping for a good alt costume otherwise.

 

[ultraspank]

She transitioned to an art style where characters actually have lips

All the features of her face looks wrong.

 

[Muchi Muchi Pink]

lol Karin is like high tier while Mika was bottom tier. "Karin is a bit better than Mika", lmao.

 

[MiniBossBattle]

Karin is proof that street fighter is anime. We were anime all along brehs

No. NOOO!

Save us Dhalsim!

 

[mreddie]

What the hell have they done to her face? She looks terrible.

She got older? Don't worry, Japan will complain and Capcom will change her just like Cammy

 

[ultraspank]

I'm pissed.

 

[entremet]

Why are people bringing up A3 tiers?

It doesn't matter how she placed in A3.

SFV is a new game from the ground up.

 

[jhmtehgamr20xx]

No, it's not SFV's job to represent diversity. People make casual comments about the game being blond fighter V. Other fools say "no, actually VERY few of the characters are white!!" My comments are directed at those fools in the second group when I'm arguing said characters are for all intents and purposes, white.

As for the data thing, you accuse me of making points based on my feelings and say that I'm eurocentric... so isn't asking other people (especially Japanese people) and collecting some data the best and most neutral way to separate fact and fiction?

On a technical basis though only a third of the cast is white. I'm going by technical facts; you're going by optics.

I'm sure to some people Mariah Carey doesn't look bi-racial, but that doesn't mean she isn't half-black*. See what I'm saying?

Spoiler

Technically her pops is Black/Venezuelan, but you see my point

I'm pissed.

Hard to tell x3

 

[Hyun Sai]

Yeah- it's anecdote. I'd be willing to bet that if you showed random people from all over the world this picture

and asked what country she was from, nobody would get it right (if they didn't already randomly know who she was).

She is definitely french, much more than Abel lol.

 

[nib95]

She looks awesome. Looks like it's a pretty fun move set as well.

No dude everyone from that game is going to be exactly the same in this game. /s

Because he was talking about A3. Of course V is a new game.

Doesn't she look like Cammy clone already look wise?

 

[NoctisVsStar]

I think for some people is jarring seeing their characters make the jump from 2D to 3D. I personally love the way she looks but for some reason UE4 hair tech is lacking.. They murdered my boy Ken ;_; Hype for karin tho!

The guy said Karin sucked in A3 which is not true.

 

[Clawww]

Probably just me but that one lady in the back of the new background looks a lot like B.Jenet (blonde hair and purple dress with similar shoes).

I want Jenet back in a game so badly, she's like my favorite character I'll never see again

 

[ultraspank]

BRB, making a petition.

Hey now, she could be in KoF14

 

[Dice]

Please, that doesn't make any sense.

Good luck with whatever weird thing you're going through

 

[Skilletor]

She looks nothing like Cammy?

You can still play XI. KOF as a franchise died this month. :/

uh..no?

You'll play her anyway.

I'm saying the people that look at it solely through the 'technical facts' are missing the point. I mean, according to 'technical facts' the 11-year-old looking girls in those vita pedo games are secretly 10,000 year-old demons or some shit, so it's technically ok (which is absurd).

 

[dezzy8]

Cammy looks better. DAT ASS.

 

[Vandiger]

Bravo, one of my favorite characters is back.

 

[Clawww]

gonna go figure out what race i actually am later by asking five dudes out on the street. subjective superficial racial assessment of average strangers is the only reasonable and neutral way to settle it. hopefully I have enough painfully obvious stereotypical features for them to not only ascertain my ethnicity, but also my country of origin (where I'm not even from...damn this gets confusing)

 

[Jinfash]

Neoxon totally called the Critical Art tease.

 

[ultraspank]

It's the third shower i take since her reveal and i still feel dirty.

Don't talk to me.

 

[LuuKyK]

What. She is probably one of the best animated characters in the game already, and her outfit is amazing.

 

[entremet]

Because he was talking about A3. Of course V is a new game.

But he was using that a justification for not bringing her over.

That's irrelevant.

 

[NoctisVsStar]

It's Karin first 3D model she looks great.

 

[Gbraga]

Take them to battle with us.

A shining light to our brothers in arms, even in death.

 

[Skilletor]

Looks better in SF5 than Jay Leno chin in your avatar.

Yeah this.

pretty much

 

[direct_quote]

Don't talk to me.

The difference is she isn't anime anymore, she has a more normal looking face.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

Cammy looks better. DAT ASS.

Man Cammy ain't got no ass. Rainbow Mika inherited the black in that department.

 

[DryEyeRelief]

It's implying that she's popular for reasons that aren't related to how she plays.

Maybe I need more context, but this reads like "I'm ignorant and the world revolves around me". There's no "for all intents and purposes" with this. Does she look white? Maybe, depends on where you and your culture/perceptions. Is she white? No, and anyone who disagrees is wrong, full stop.

i had just about the same thing typed up

 

[Muchi Muchi Pink]

I really like Karin's new look. The stage and music is dope as well.

 

[Producer]

Looks better in SF5 than Jay Leno chin in your avatar.

Someone had to bring it up

 

[DryEyeRelief]

Difference being is that you're a real person while Karin is a fictional character used to represent an idea. And I don't think Street Fighter's lore is deep enough to have a character that deals with racial perception.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

Man Cammy ain't got no ass. Rainbow Mike inherited the black in that department.

Capitan Todd's sexy cousin Rainbow Mike the whooty luchador

You done it now

You originally think I'm wrong because I'm only looking at things from a single point of view and I'm looking at things emotionally. I offer to get other's peoples opinions to find out whether I'm right and you dismiss this method. What do you want? What would you accept as proof of me being correct or incorrect? I mean, I chose the harshest conditions I could think of- if I ask Japanese people if they think Karin is Japanese, wouldn't their answers be pretty definitive proof of whether I'm right or completely off-base?

 

[veloxStrix]

I can't wait. Karin was always my favorite character. It's nice to see them bringing in other characters from well known series.

Edit: Oh, look. Top of the page.

Finally, the Eurotrip sequel I always wanted!
