Examples: -no Yolo get in free option —Very limited oki on enders -Very limited safe cancel options (people let her get away with burn kick, it’s -4). - very limited/inconsistent conversions off of confirms/traps -Very limited VTC options -VTC options have poor frame data -VTC options have very inconsistent combo follow ups -V Triggers are pretty meh Basically she mauls you in the corner (where she gets oki) but beyond that doesn’t really play SFV all that well. In another game she would fit better. Again, some light buffs could address many of those items. Link to comment

They’re saying she and some of the other characters mentioned are well designed (tho not necessarily strong) because she isn’t doing stupid SFV shit all the time.

Karin does poke conversion and shimmy better than basically everyone else in the whole cast. She just doesn’t leverage VT as much. G is the exact opposite.

It’s like the main reason she is a well character. Her gameplan doesn’t fall apart if you put her in another game. She isn’t robbing you with VT, she isn’t bypassing neutral with EX or anything else, she isn’t throwing out unpublishable or +oB CCs, she’s not flow charting safe moves into traps or pressure, and she’s not winning rounds off the momentum of one mixup. She just does basic SF things with good damage. If you lose to her you 100% got outplayed, not because she warped across the screen into VT nonsense.

GetTheTables Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 @KingTubbThankfully GG is a super chill game where it is really easy to pick up on things mid match. Just hop on in and bed some mans. 🙃 It actually isn't that bad once you're in it to be fair. I've also forgotten about everything I knew about Rev 2 so I need to soft reset that game. KI is an even harder reset. Lo and behold not playing that game for like 4 years makes you lose all your muscle memory. Also I can't quite settle on a char, which was a "problem" the first time around too. That is more an embarrassment of riches with the chars in that game though. KingTubb 1 Link to comment
