vs. Tips - Karin

Talking about the Queen of combos here, and her counters. Would be an easier fight if not for the crappy range of your moves.

Her game revolves too much around the GurenKen, and it can be seen coming a mile away. THe Criminal Uppercut can snuff he jumping hop attacks, but don't be too cocky, she can use the Reversal attack at the end of her Gurenken attack, so if you are too predictable, you may end up being beaten.

Use the Bad Soine when she tries to keep her distance; she has a weak long distance game. Use the punch super when she leaves herself open (like after a blocked Gurenken combo). However, she has excelent air proirity and anti-air priority, so keep the fight on the ground.

The cute new girl in A3, don't you want her to win? I haven't really played a decent Karin yet though my own Karin holds her own. If I pit them 2 together, I have to say the edge's with Cody, especially V-Cody. Karin's bread and butter combos with the Rekka-kens falls short 'cos Cody can evade the first 2 (i think) of attacks. Once the dodge occurs, you have a major counter in offer with a c.fierceXXroundhouse Raffian Kick . The only way Karin users can stop this is to either dump the Rekka altogether (impossible, too much of Karin's game revolves around it) or vary it, trying to predict when Cody will stick a limb out, and use the high/low counter. Or block and hope Cody goofs up. Guessing game in Cody's favour.

Once they realised a big chunk of their game doesn't work re: Rekkas, they'll turn to other moves like the Ressenpa d, df, f, uf + kick (block high, my boy) as well as the quick overhead and 360 throw. You'll have an easier time once she starts jumping. Of course, NEVER jump. You don't have a reason to. Another deterent is that ridiculous anti-air Karin has (s.fierce). It will stuff any of your jump-in attempts or worse eat a c.fierce into kick super. Ouch. Stay rooted and irritate.
