Hey Guest. Check out your NeoGAF Wrapped 2025 results here!
Karin announced for SFV
- Thread starter biosnake20
- Start date
Why in the fuck would you post a Low Tier God video? Are you that dense?
what do you guys expect/hope to see her as? there's that orange track jacket drawing that keeps going around. I'm not too down with that. I hope they take her in an interesting direction story and design-wise. I think she's a character that isn't really tied down hard by design or lore, so it could work.

Shes Japanese? Doesn't look like it at all. All of the other character appearances match their nationality.

Seriously Capcom, fix the fucking hair of these models
Mika's also Japanese. As is Ken, mostly.
Guy is one. Stupid sexy Guy.
These types of characters are always mixed, with one part of the parents being western and the other one japanese.
I brought up gameplay as an aesthetic. Bushin chain, bushin flip grab, izuna drop his walk animation etc are all bad ass. It's visually interesting. I'm still not entirely clear as to what you dislike about the character but for the sake of staying on thread topic lets agree to disagree.
I think it's like one of thise mischievous japanese deity things.
I just hope they keep her colors like they have with Karin.
Yeah if only they made her 100% unmistakably non-white Japanese looking like Ryu-dono and Ken-Sama
She already has an adult story and design. Sakura WILL look like this. I'll place my avatar on it

SF is pretty much anime so it's not necessary in that context. Only Ken is like 1/4 white although he is American. Karin (kah-rin not Care-In) is a standard Japanese name and she also has a Japanese last name.

Ken actually does look like a not-exactly-white person wearing a wig in that shot, and are you implying Japanese people can't grow beards? Ryu could also be of Ainu descent, and those guys could get pretty beardy.

So basically, it confirms this game takes place many many years after all the other games. We have old man Bipson.

This just makes me glad that Ryu in the future installments seems to be derivative of his SFIII design and not his goofy anime design from the alpha series, which Mika and Karin were spawned from.
Clearly there are vocal people here who won't actually acknowledge this anyway and nobody wants to care either lol.

We already got this as an alt in SF4. Only with short buruma pantsu〜 because pantsu〜。

SF is so anime though lol but back on topic karin rekkas being relegated to vtrigger is a smart move and her counters being removed makes her not broken imo.
As has already been said, that is because in her early 20s, she's a PE Gym Teacher
What we have in SF4 as an alt is similar but not quite. When she's older she doesn't use hand/arm guards, and she has mid length hair instead of short. Also the colors for the jacket are different, and the aforementioned bike shorts
Seems like a good choice for someone that likes to push themselves physically.
sorry he doesn't look like what asians should look like to me or my western friends so it doesn't count
maybe have him wear that raiden hat, 1940's tojo glasses and pushing a pushcart would help real, average normal street level people discern his asianess
Maybe give Karin a kimono, Yamato Nadeshiko archetype and squinty eyes cuz right now she looks too white lol amirite
Its not lame, and as i said earlier, its different from her alternate outfit.
That is what she will wear, i promise you.
Who can deny this awesome sauce?

His Alpha VA is fking bad ass though. I just love that voice. SF4 VA seemed a little more toned down.

Overall I feel SF4 sort of neutered Guy a little , not just about gameplay. But he just lacks that Raw final fight-esque badassness from Alpha. Seems more of a traditional good-guy Ninja.
Still my main character though and hope he comes within the First year of SF 5.
It's really not that different and I don't think so, she deserves better.
No it isn't.

I wonder how often they will release DLC characters. It takes quite a while just to make one.

Yup, no more profound sadness please, what a dumb saying... Urien's VA is pretty good too.
What she 'deserves' is what her actual outfit is in the future. I can guarantee any fanfiction you have up in your head is going to be inferior and probably overdone/gaudy compared to the canon look.

Also, it's anime. Of course they're going to have exaggerated features. Sticking too close to reality would be boring.
Not yet, just people pressing random buttons mostly.

I can agree with that statement. But, a bland design like that isn't it. It needs something more.

the above comments were made facetiously and in jest
Than she better have her OG costume up for DLC hella quick than since that shit's wack.
