Karin is playable at Tokyo Game Show, so be sure to stop by the Capcom booth if you are able to!Īnd if the return of one of the most popular characters in the series wasn’t enough, we have another big announcement: the Capcom Fighters Network! This gives her immense flexibility in controlling the flow of the fight, ensuring that she comes out on top. After the initial Guren Ken, she is able to transition immediately into an overhead attack, a low sweep, a flying throw, another quick set of strikes, or even a backdash to bait out counterattacks. Karin channels her inner Ki to unlock the true potential of the Kanzuki fighting style, giving her access to the Guren Ken attack, which in itself possesses over half a dozen different follow ups and variations. By holding down the buttons, players can charge the move for a split second, giving it better hit and block properties. Karin lunges forward with a devastating palm strike that dissipates projectiles and knocks down the opponent if it connects, all while helping to build her V-Trigger gauge. Players who enjoy attacking with speed and a large variety of tools will find Karin to be extremely satisfying to utilize.
Utilizing her new dash move allows her to close the distance quickly between her opponents and go in for a quick high-low attack or throw.Īnd just when the opponent thinks they’ve figured out how to deal with the pressure, Karin’s V-Trigger completely changes up her game plan by allowing her to perform her signature Guren Ken multi-string attacks and variations. In Street Fighter V, Karin is a well-rounded character, possessing a wide array of strikes and moves at her disposal for any situation. But behind her flowing golden locks lies a true martial artist obsessed with upholding her family motto, “In all things be victorious!” Karin is well versed in numerous martial arts, which she and her family combined to create a unique “Kanzuki style” of fighting. Her regal and pampered upbringing is what led to her high-maintenance attitude and razor-sharp wit. Karin is the young heiress to the Kanzuki Zaibatsu, a global financial conglomerate that possesses vast wealth and resources. Today, we’re happy to reintroduce her to the series with a brand new design and play style. Two years ago, we held a worldwide character popularity poll to find out who the fans liked the most, and Karin came in 7th worldwide (1st when just looking at Japan results), despite having only appeared in Street Fighter Alpha 3. Hey everyone! Exciting news coming straight from Tokyo Game Show today! First off, the character that many of you have been waiting for to return to the Street Fighter series is finally back: Karin Kanzuki!
