The latest character reveal forย Street Fighter Vย is the pampered schoolgirl, Karin. Her only appearance in the series came inย Street Fighter Alpha 3, which came out in 1998. Even with just the one game to her credit, Karin was an often requested character. Accordingย to a poll Capcom ran back in April, Karin was the 7th most asked-for character. According to Peter “Combofiend” Rosas, Capcom’s Community Manager, she was the most requested character in Japan forย Street Fighter V,ย which would indicate why she was revealed at the Tokyo Game Show. Check out her reveal trailer below to see her in action:

Karin looks to have a flashy, relentless attacking style. In addition to that, the trailer also showcases her V-Skill and V-Trigger. Her V-Skill is her Meioken, which is a flat palm strike that knocks opponents down or, better yet, dissipates fireballs. The move can also be held briefly, allowing for some timing mix-ups. Her V-Trigger is a set-up attack that has a variety of follow ups, including a sweep, a throw, a backdash, an overhead, and more. This versatility and unpredictability will help keep your opponent off balance and will probably allow Karin to score a lot of stun states inย Street Fighter V.

In the same blog post that introduces Karin, Peter Rosas also goes into a bit of detail about the Capcom Fighters Network.ย He describes it as a “community building tool” that will be built into the game from launch. It will be a stat tracker, and not just wins and losses. It will track how many of each type of moves you use, how many throws you tech, etc. It will also be used to find groups of players throughout the world, challenge friends and rivals, and watch replays of high-profile matches. Overall, it sounds like just the thing to make sure you get your dose ofย Street Fighter V whenever you need it.

Excited about Karin inย Street Fighter V? Who do you want to see announced for those last few spots on the initial roster? Sound off below!
