So. Who's Karin?

Footsies and big damage... Why has nobody said Superman?

Well when I see Karin I think of her Rekkas, and the only character close enough to having rekkas in Injustice 2 is Red Hood. The problem here though is that Injustice 2 is a game that relies on fullscreen projectile zoning/counterzoning so trying to find a 'Karin' type character in this game will be tough.

100% Canary. She has the same mixup gameplan that Karin does, and you can turn one hit into major damage.

Robin or Aquaman.

WW doesn't have great normals.

D2? WW doesn't need great normals cause she already has one. Along with Shield Toss and Shield Bash.

blah.... blah..... blah.....

Shut up Nex! You should be helping me recruit more BlueBeetles! Any other contribution to this thread is treason! (lol, jk)

Whip normals are pretty good, but she's more like the Dan of guile clones than Karin

@EntropicByDesign buddy of mine mained Karin and now Black Adam and says he is the closest thing, alongside Superman who I think fits what you're describing perfectly, with the added benefit of laser zoning and top 5 damage.

CatWoman is also perfect for what you're saying, and yes she will get nerfed, but I think it'll be more adjustments to her damage and J2, frames of strings I don't think will get effected at all.

 

[DeftMonk]

I think black Adam is the perfect fit for you.

Ya this dude knows what's up. Control the neutral and sirmixalot huge ass damage combos. Also might want to look into scarecrow.

Robin was one of my day one potential mains, but I just dont click with him for some reason. On paper he ticks all the boxes, but in game, i just never found myself enjoying playing him.

I know its CRAZY early, but I wish Sub had some more obvious strengths. Not gonna lie, I miss MKX's b2, lol.



Not a bad idea. Ive played him a little and he's interesting. He has a really unique feel and timing to his stuff. He has a pretty high level of required execution too if I understand correctly.

I play flash and I wouldn't say high level but I would say it takes getting use to like d12xdb3 and you gotta master his mix up with df3 and b22 lightening run cancel

You're asking us to compare a party game character to a game like Injustice? Oh this is a tough one but I'll try my best

WoWo comes to mind but if they don't have to be female or lesser-played then Adam/Superman

 

[Scott The Scot]

Lmao I read the first part of your post and just figured you were memeing aha!! My bad!

 

[Alkaline]

i mained karin in SFV and ended up maining scarecrow in I2. at first it seems like they're both strong footsie characters, but they actually play quite differently.

but personally i think the most similar character to karin is actually atrocitus. i'm surprised no one has mentioned him yet. he was my day 1 character and i played him for the first 3 weeks or so of I2. his walk speed always felt good to me and his neutral is very strong. also his f223 with trait out is reminiscent of karin in v-trigger as you have mixups at the end and options on hit, but you also have ways to back out and make it safe.

 

[pfiidud3]

Yea, now that you mention it, I too am shocked no one mentioned him. Talk about frame trap heavy!

I know its CRAZY early, but I wish Sub had some more obvious strengths. Not gonna lie, I miss MKX's b2, lol.

If Sub had B2, I would do this combo:

B2, F3, DB1 (possible with Shatter), 123xxMB PP, 4 (IK Whiff), J3, 123xxPP.

It would be an overkill. lol
