Anyone find a use for Karin's V-Skill? It doesn't seem too effective for smacking fireballs since it has so much start up and moves her forward so much. I've seen the CPU use it as a juggle ender sometimes but that doesn't seem to do much damage.

Karin has like 30 specials. How am I supposed to learn her

It looks more complicated than it is. Don't look at all the stuff the specials chain into initially; just look at the initial commands she has at first. Then, what comes after them will become intuitive once you realize how they function.

Doesn't do damage but builds v-gauge.
 
Still can't get back in :( I see streamers are in though.

Seems like Karin has a ton of options. Can someone explain how she wouldn't be a top teir character?

The point in ending with the V-skill is to gain meter so you can go into V-trigger faster and have access to your Rekkas.

Karin c.MP can also link into itself. So standing or crouching versions can both be used to link after the crouch version.

QCB+HP, D+K to go over semi-fullscreen fireballs feels great. Many other options like this, I'll end up running into the projectile, not here! She clears if well, the move is fast, and you can go for knockdown, special toss, or most likely unsafe Mixups on hit.

If you hit EX QCB+K in juggles, it seems to carry them through the whole Ingrid-like combo which is really nice.

The only thing that appears to me after using her for a short while is the lack of reversal options.
The only one she has is EX QCB+P and even then, I had it whiff on crouching opponents. I don't know if makes her not top tier. Its too early to say.

The button mapping is something like this. I may have the shoulder buttons listed incorrectly.

trying to learn a Karin is so hard when you are forced into a match every 3-5 min especially when Karin have so many different inputs to learn.
urgh think i'm just going to focus on main r.mika during this beta.


Christ I lost a match my accidentally taunting. That was embarrassing.

I'm spending so much time messing with the graphical settings. It's so weird, the recommended settings make the game run terribly, lol. Overall it looks kind of blurry? I can't put my finger on it. I wonder if performance will improve in the finished product.

Anyone a pc fighter? Is the Madcatz PS4 stick even supported? Plays great on Ultra. On SF 5 it doesn't even register...

SF5 PC only accepts xinput (xbox controllers) right now. There are drivers you can download to have a PS4 controller recognized as xinput, just google "PS4 xinput" and there's a bunch of results.

Hmm, seems like you need to connect to her V-Trigger to get combos going with Karin. Otherwise, her normal mode is footsies/mix-ups. Anyone find any normal links yet?

What the hell. My Qanba that has PC/Xbox360/PC doesn't work on the steam version? WHAT?!

Edit: anyone know how to fix this?

edit2: started working somehow;

I thought I was going to like Karin more. She's good, but hella complicated. Got used to her specials and normals, but even the timing of her combos isn't easy.
It's an interesting character at least. Will try to improve with her, but my main for this beta will still be Mika with a follow up as Rashid.

I made 2 post about them above.

cr.MP links to Standing and crouching MP.

Weak attacks that end in Standing LK can be canceled. Can combo into any strength of her QCB+K.

cr.HP forces stand, which allows you to combo into QCB+LP reliably. Otherwise, if you try to combo into the special on a croucher, you'll be open for interruption.

Oh, nice on the cr.hp force stand. Interesting.
