SFV: Karin Official Character Guide

[@r0mit]

As someone who has been maining Karin since release, I have a few pointers for anyone interesting in learning her: -using normals into Tenko (qcf+kick, punch) will be your main combo starter. However, it is unsafe on block. So, if you notice your opponent blocking before you use Tenko, use Orochi instead (qcf+kick, crouching punch) since this is safe on block. -Mujinkyaku (qcb+kick) is very unsafe on block, so try not to spam it. However, if you do find yourself in a situation where it's the most effective tool, try switching up which version you use. NOTE: once the opponent starts blocking the light or heavy version, the blocking won't stop till the end, so usually opponents try to attack as soon as possible. Try blocking as soon as you can, but if they do not attack as soon as possible, a grab is your safest bet. -when under a lot of pressure, a crouching hp/crouching mp into heavy Ressenha (qcb+punch) is your best bet for putting distance between you and your opponent. It can be punished but only is your opponent is able to read it before you even do it, so try not to over use it. I actually have a few other tips and tricks, but it's either too miniscule to matter or that it's too focused on my play style, so the only other thing I can say is practice. God Speed.

+r0mit Thanks man

[@BurningFinger92]

Nice tips I'm a Ken player trying to pick up another main besides basic ryu till juri comes out. Karin is interesting

[@Xxbi0haZard]

OOHHHH HO HO HO HO

[@hoodwynk1389]

If they can pay for Cody's bail so he can be part of this game, that'll be nice

[@frogmin2439]

+DAHLicious Wafflez His V-Trigger would be taking off the Handcuffs.

[@Dongulator]

V-trigger ends: police dude runs by and puts them back on.

[@TheBigDouble00]

+Madd Capp this guy gets it!

[@hansbunyi4859]

Guess who just got announced

[@HanSoloTheScoundrel]

he's in!!!

[@Clickstop24]

theyve changed karin's v reversal since this video btw

[@Lugnal]

Resenha's middle frames can pass through projectiles, use her HP version when an opponent throws a fireball and you'll connect.

[@zakirstocks9514]

I am Absolutely Glad and Happy Karin Kanzuki herself is now Officially Back in Action in Street Fighter V: Champion Edition! I Absolutely missed her SO much from the Alpha games!

[@jirachistar5373]

alpha game. just one. 😭😭😭

[@zakirstocks9514]

@@jirachistar5373 Right. Still, I miss Karin Kanzuki SO much!

[@ephpro9653]

She gotten much more stronger than she was in Street Fighter Alpha 3, she's hand to use back then, but now she is one of my favorite characters of SFV.

[@SpeedDemonPowerage98]

Wow I just remembered how many buttons Karin has in her moveset

[@zetadroid]

I'm having a lot of fun playing her.

[@frogmin2439]

GIVE US THE FUCKING ALEX TRAILER

[@briannasanchez3261]

When's Alex!

[@alxjamuschua]

yeah give us the alex revealed trailer

[@Genari10]

+Madd Capp You have it now

[@briannasanchez3261]

Where's guile.

[@Genari10]

Brianna Sanchez There's no Guile. I don't know if Capcom is planning to put Guile in SFV or not, but he isn't in SFV yet.

[@khalidibrahim7726]

Karin is back excellent job classic OHHHOHOHOHO!!

[@Vulpentine]

Karin reminds me of Dudley. Her dash move is like Dudley's duck and her Critical art is like Dudley's corkscrew cross

[@Carlton_Banks]

+Vincenti dela Fuente Karin is actually a lot like Fei long/Yang. Except they locked her rekkas behind her v-trigger, which explain why her v-trigger is actually not that good, it's not a v-trigger per say, it's just access to tool she always had from Alpha 3 (except with some tweaks, like the mixup ender for example). She's a decent character, does decent damage, has good buttons, good walkspeed. Her only safe especial is her shoulder ender though. She also has difficulties opening people up, as she can't combo from her overhead or does not have a command throw like Fei or Yang. Most of her damage comes from punishing mistakes and forcing people to commit mistakes. As the video said, she's weak defensively, her only escapes are EX DP or V-Reversal. Her anti-airs are also situational or range dependant. She's a really honest character, most of the results with her come from player skill, not the character, it's similar to Ryu for that matter. I still prefer her Alpha version though. She had great normals there, this version i feel she was gimped. They removed her Her Counter, her Command throw. Alpha was a different game, but they preserved most of dudley/makoto/ibuki tools from 3. Can't see why they didn't with her though.

[@guesswho180]

Yes. The character almost everyone online uses.

[@oswaldosanchez8938]

I wish they updated this to season 4/5

[@fucc4099]

*OHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO!*

[@RashawnKMillerChiTownShoto]

Karin's theme sounds like the opening of a really cool funky 90's anime

[@DamienTepps]

I love karin but I'm too shitty to play her.

[@kfk4441]

She seems fun to use

[@StickyTapeTV]

this theme music is God Tier

[@sebastiancolon701]

Were is Alex?.......plz atleast give us a gameplay teaser Capcom.

[@UltimatexGoten]

Should've went into more detail about her V-Trigger / Mixups aren't strong as almost all of them can be jabbed out of before they even hit you, and she mostly relies on excellent footsies, but that you mentioned. Great guide as always.

[@Scandal262]

I'm a Rashid main who knows a decent chunk about Karin and Kolin so I'm trying to learn more about the two of them.

[@velociraptor4you3291]

Karin's got 'footsy' down to an art!

[@HakumeiTenshi]

Karin's V-Trigger is not weak, people don't utilize all of her options, and think she can get jabbed or supered out of every follow up, but that's not true.

[@ensanesane]

+keyo61491 I think they meant to say v-skill

[@HakumeiTenshi]

There's nothing weak about her v-skill, it's her longest poke and one of only safe special moves

[@ensanesane]

I wouldn't call it a special attack, since it doesn't do chip :/

[@HakumeiTenshi]

It gives you a good chunk of v-gauge, whether they block it or not

[@AngelsFGC]

typo: 5'3" in-game

[@elisao9650]

Hey man great guide! One thing you didn't mention though : Ressenha's distance also scales with the button used,, and the hp-version dodges (most?) projectiles ... not many sims down here in bronze so no idea if his flying-in-an-arc-fire-thingies still hit :D

[@FOGSHIE]

+Salih Özdemir It does.

[@Dawill44]

+Salih Özdemir She flies right into it.

[@user-mt8on4ky1c]

Somone pls help how do yall do this at 8:14 i dont get it(i play on ps4)

[@sarcazum1512]

You have to be fast quarter circle forward twice than any punch button

[@WilliamTedros]

Yes thanks god!

[@princetiki4678]

Can we get a remix of karin alpha 3 theme or the original in the shop? That beat was lit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Sn0kanin]

when the hell is the march update?

[@SpeedDemonPowerage98]

I wonder when Ibuki's being added into the game as DLC even tho until what ever when Ibuki's released as the DLC since when Ibuki is released I'm putting Ibuki in Karins place on my SF main list what's currently this Karin, Mika and Ryu cuz I suck with Ken for some reason

[@SpeedDemonPowerage98]

Then when I Ibuki's released Then this would be my SF main list Ibuki,Karin,Mika and Ryu

[@MRXDS1989]

Karin is yun

[@OmegaVega]

FINALLY!

[@TheGamersState]

2 comments 1. After seeing this, I definitely want to use Karin, she's awesome! 2. Sheesh, everyone is asking for Alex's trailer, I'll admit I am hyped for it but at least give them a chance guys. Yeah I know they said March but they didn't say exactly when in March.

[@shorjaken4070]

+Ninetales Commander Don't use this guide though if you want to main Karin, this guide(s) is utter poop. Check out Floe instead.

[@SlaineReigns]

YES! My BAE guide is here!!!!

[@nO_d3N1AL]

I wish light normals could be linked to mediums.

[@SoulHunterEx]

+Sina Madani you can link LP into st. MP as long as its a counter hit

[@Blitzo2876]

Her moveset makes her trials confusing.

[@Angie2343]

What? You won't go into her official backstory?

[@carterpewderschmitgaming]

Alex?

[@XgamerdaveX]

I can't do her 6th trial. It's so hard 😢

[@StemusSimulSolus]

+XgamerdaveX SERIOUSLY LIKE WTF

[@XgamerdaveX]

+The Grammarians Of Last Days I've done it now. It's just her 9th one that i haven't done. When I eventually did it I ended up doing it twice in a row. It was like waiting for a bus.

[@EloquentandRarity]

Honestly, I am unsure of why you would do these combos. I find every game, it is much easier to just do: MostButtons>236HK+P>236HK+P. Almost anything goes into two tenkos.

[@SoulHunterEx]

+EloquentandRarity two tenkos is fine, but i prefer one tenko into scissor kicks (light version)...easier to cross up afterwards

[@EloquentandRarity]

I like the 100% damage guarantee.

[@EloquentandRarity]

If you wanted better oki, you can do one tenko and then V-Skill.

[@SoulHunterEx]

yeah it depends i guess

[@capicomando]

still waiting the server trailer :v

[@HARUNOboy17]

V-Trigger is not strong? Please~ She should have her rekkas the entire match like in SFA3.

[@MSDarkspyro]

OMG YES finally karin well im waiting for Laura really but karin still is cool

[@rhythmatical5284]

Very helpful thanks so much

[@chokoberd]

Woo Karin! She's so bae.

[@SnksThaMan]

DO RASHID NEXT

[@ApertureMiku]

wow her fingers are massive

[@PrimeroJinJusuke]

+xvuaai All girls have them since SFIV, I guess.

[@ApertureMiku]

Jin Jusuke if i weren't classy id make a joke about her fingers being enough to satisfy her carnal instincts

[@mateusd5809]

JURII

[@DrFatihD]

OOOHH HOHOHAHA

[@skurinski]

I hate that they've made her rekkas so shitty in this game.

[@PME_FGC]

There's a lot of incorrect things with this guide...

[@mikehunt7442]

YYYAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

[@danielvutran]

WAOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!111111111111111111111111111111111

[@Dongulator]

Dan hasn't been confirmed yet.

[@TheMexicanVaquero]

Lol at the idea of her mix ups being a pro. All of the mix ups are really negative and most can be reacted to in an offline setting so trust me those mix ups are not a pro to her.

[@ThunderTC]

"Decent on antiair", yeah, like u even know what is a.... decent... antiair :v

[@Mastamoose]

Over 10 minutes to teach people how to press MK, MP, and jump? This character doesnt even need a guide.

[@onepunchman3216]

Game for little girls 3 years old :D

[@d12kiem7]

the most useless chatacter after Chun-Li
