Karin, der for to år siden blev nummer 7 i en afstemning om den mest populære Street Fighter-karakter, er blevet tilføjet til holdet af kæmpere i det kommende Street Fighter V. Karin's popularitet er overraskende, siden hun kun er dukket op i Street Fighter Alpha 3, og mere overraskende er det derfor, at hun er foran både Ryu, Ken og Chun-Li.
"In Street Fighter V, Karin is a well-rounded character, possessing a wide array of strikes and moves at her disposal for any situation. Utilizing her new dash move allows her to close the distance quickly between her opponents and go in for a quick high-low attack or throw.
And just when the opponent thinks they've figured out how to deal with the pressure, Karin's V-Trigger completely changes up her gameplan by allowing her to perform her signature Guren Ken multi-string attacks and variations. Players who enjoy attacking with speed and a large variety of tools will find Karin to be extremely satisfying to utilize."
