KARIN KOZUKI F.A.Q. for Streetfighter Alpha 3 By. Shaandre Stinson

KARIN KOZUKI F.A.Q. for Streetfighter Alpha 3 By. Shaandre Stinson
( [email protected] )

Wuddup? I'm Dre Stinson, and welcome to my Karin Kozuki F.A.Q
for Streetfighter Alpha 3! This is my first attempt at making a
F.A.Q. , although I have done some F.A.Q. work for some of the
"Big Name" F.A.Q makerz on the net. I'm from Flint MI where
we have a few(more like a couple) of the best fighting game
playerz you will ever see. Although some of us believe the
cheaper you play the better! Just thought I'd warn you if
you're ever thinking of playing against any of us!
-------
Well first off, most of the F.A.Q's I see on the net are
usually done with the Japanese pronunciations for the character
movez. In no way, shape, or form am I Japanese, nor do I
speak or understand Japanese(aside the few martial artz classes I've
taken.) So, this F.A.Q. will be done in English. For example if I wuz
to describe Ryuz Hadoken, I would simply write "Fireball!" And by no
meanz are any of the move namez I say, or describe the official move
name. They are simply what I call the move, or what it lookz like to
me. So, Enjoy my Karin Kozuki F.A.Q.

Brief character Description:
----------
Karin Kuzuki is a character from a Japanese comic book
featuring Sukura. I guess Karin is a rebelliouz fighter from a
wealthy family that believez that winning is the only way. So, Karin
along with her butler seekz out the one fighter to have ever
beaten her...Sukura.

Legend: This will represent a joystick, and describe the joystick
motionz I use in my F.A.Q.

Game Buttonz:
--------
Punches: Jab Strong Fierce

Kickz: Short Forward-kick Roundhouse

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Karin'z Special Movez:(It doesn't matter which ism your in)
--------------
JUMPING TWO HIT PUNCH ATTACK: QCF,UF + KICK...the kick determinez
distance. This is the move where she jumpz towardz the opponent swinging
with both handz one after the other for two hitz as she nearz the
ground. It can be used to go over fireballz though you have to do it as
they throw the fireball for it to hit. I know you may wonder, why doez
she do a punch with a kick command? Good ??? Capcom, WHY IS THAT?

-------------
SPECIAL GRAB: ROTATE JOYSTICK 360 degreez + KICK...Karin grabz opponent
kneez them twice then flipz em. Very short range on it!

--------------
THRUSTING PALM PUNCH: F,D,DF + PUNCH...Karin thrustz her palm forward
for one hit. Good in comboz though it leavez her open if missed.

--------------
DOUBLE JUMP KICK: F,D,DF + KICK...Karin lungez forward and doez two
kicks. The first hitz in the middle the second hitz high, and will
launch the opponent for some juggling.

--------------
HIGH AND LOW REVERSALZ: HCB + PUNCH FOR A HIGH REVERSAL(workz great
against jumping in attackz)...HCB + KICK FOR A LOW REVERSAL. Karin will
go into a parry position and if she is hit high while in the high
reversal parry she will counter it with a elbow that jugglez the
opponent. She doez the same for the low parry cept' it workz against low
attackz. If done against a multi hitting super like Kenz Rushing Dragon
Punch super she will counter the first hit only to be hit by the
second!!!

---------
MULTIPART RUSHING PUNCH ATTACK: QCF + PUNCH...This is where Karin start
with a Fei Long type punch sequence, but may be changed in to doing the
following after the FIRST, or SECOND punch. NOTE: The faster you hit
the punch or kick buttonz the quicker the move will come out!

By just hitting Punch twice after starting the move she will throw
three punchez ending with a Thrusting Palm Punch.
By pushing the joystick forward, and hitting punch she will do the
Trusting Palm Punch.
By pushing the joystick DF, and hitting punch twice she will throw
two elbowz for a total of 4 hitz if you do it after her second punch.
By pushing the joystick forward, and hitting Kick she will go into
her Double Jump Kick.
By pushing the joystick down, and hitting kick she will slide across
the ground with a tripping kick.
By pushing the joystick up, and hitting kick she will do her Jumping
Two Hit Punch Attack.
By pushing the joystick back, and hitting punch she will do her high
reversal.
By pushing the joystick back, and hitting kick she will do her low
reversal.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUPER MOVE SECTION:
---------
RUSHING PUNCH SUPER: QCF, QCF + Punch...Karin performz a seriez of
punchez. A excellent recovery move! NOTE: When you do a level 2 Rushing
Punch Super she will finish the super with a Double Jumping Kick instead
of the Thrusting Palm Punch!

---------
JUMPING PUNCH SUPER:(A-ism only) QCF, QCF + KICK...Karin doez a version
of her jumping punch move cept' she swingz at the top of her jump.
Prepare for some juggling after this connectz! This is a anti air super.
NOTE: It will not hit any opponent that is standing on the ground.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
COMBO SECTION: (This is where we separate the skilled playahz from the
button slapperz)

Karin haz endless combo potential. So, I will list these in no
particular order, I will just list them as I remember them!!!
-------
3 hit combo: Forward kick, or Back, and Forward kick, into her double
jumping kick.(note, pressing forward on joystick while hitting forward
kick will cause Karin to do her overhead, and you can't combo off that.)

??? hit combo: crouching strong punch, into her rushing multipart punch
combo

??? hit combo: After high reversal, double jumping kick, or multi-part
rushing punch attack, or her jumping punch super(A ism only.)

---------
NOW THAT IS THE BASIC WAY TO START ALL HER CRAZY COMBOING POTENTIAL! Now
let me give you a example of wayz to turn Karin out.

CRAZY ??? HITZ COMBO: Jump in with the roundhouse kick after landing do
a crouching strong punch into rushing multipart punch do two punchez
then forward with kick into her double jump kick, do a level 2 jumping
punch super, and then juggle em with a level 1 rushing punch super as
they fall out of the air!!!

------------
Now, you should be able to figure out endless comboz for her just
from those examplez...good luck!!! If not just E-mail me for help!

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanx Section:
-----------

Much Thanx to the brilliant folkz over there at Capcom, it amazez me
how they come up with all their new ideaz in fighting gamez!

dayz before the local arcadez located in Detroit got theirz!
