『Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter』 Unused Karin Kanzuki Sprites

Two years before she’d appear in Street Fighter Alpha 3, Karin Kanzuki first made her debut in a spin-off manga by Masahiko Nakahiro, titled Street Fighter∶ Sakura Ganbaro!

As such, Karin shares the great honor of being one of the few non-game characters later added into the games with Gouken, Violent Ken, Evil Ryu and those guys from that one game that's based on a movie that's based on game.

Interestingly enough, there’s evidence to suggest that Capcom wanted to introduce Karin into a game before Street Fighter Alpha 3, with a cameo in Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter (The Cutting Room Floor [NSFW]).

Karin's scrapped appearance is very clearly based upon Sakura's Street Fighter Alpha 2 sprites, but for her video game debut in the third Alpha entry, she uses a complete set of original sprites.

Furthermore, Karin's appearance in Alpha 3 come with an original design to further differentiate herself from her self-taught rival.

I think Ronnie was right about the flat colors

Sakura/Karin would be so popular if not for garbage ass udon comics

[sunkern-plus]

why is it when they show a character "glowing up"/"growing up" they give the character sudden curves (as in wide hips visible breasts no matter the size slim waist) as if people who have gone through puberty can't come out squarish and "masculine" even without t (in a typically afab case) or even after years of e or progesterone (a typically transfeminine or nonbinary trans but on e case)

Sakura Kasugano from Street Fighter

Reasoning: "okay okay okay i've been in the street fighter fandom for nearly ten or eleven years. sakura kasugano is one of my FAVORITE characters, and i've always, ALWAYS interpreted her as a baby butch lesbian. whether it's the street fighter 4 aftermath short where someone asks sakura if she has a boyfriend and she LITERALLY goes "no comment! no comment!" and she appears to be jealous of kei because she's moving on and leaving her (and kei is one of her CLOSEST friends besides karin that i've shipped her with ESPECIALLY ever since the street fighter comic sakura ganbaru aka one of the BEST sakura comics where karin's FAITHFUL alfred-like butler shibasaki says "sakura admires feminine girls, like kei chitose" AND KARIN, WHO I ALSO SHIP HER WITH, IS A VERY HYPERFEMININE PRESENTING GIRL), which is a BIG lesbian experience (feeling like all your straight friends are leaving you behind). IN ADDITION: the lesbian context with sakura and karin. now, i could link SOOOOOOO many pictures that just amount to queerbaiting the sakukarin ship, but if there's any picture that represents it, it's this. it's in the character story where sakura believes that giving up on her dreams of being a fighter and instead getting married to a man and raising a family (which i BELIEVE street fighter 6 is changing into "being a fighter all on her own as a student of ryu" as a goal instead thankfully instead of shoving her with one of the FEW male characters she's bonded with, ryu or dan, who met her when she was a teenager and THEY WERE GROWN MEN) and i believe that the tension between implied open lesbian karin who clearly has feelings for sakura (WHY WOULD KARIN NEEEEEEED TO KNOW THAT SAKURA "ADMIRES" FEMININE GIRLS GAY ASS WOMAN) vs sakura who is ABSORBED by that comphet, and sakura slowly developing and admitting her feelings for karin would be *chef's kiss* fantastique. sorry for the long ramble, but like. even disregarding her closest relationships (besides with dan and blanka, who i personally read both dan and blanka as genderfluid + omnigender + genderfree for dan + unaligned quoigender/xenogender bigender for blanka respectively) are with women (SHE EVEN NAMED CAMMY, AND CAMMY IS CANONICALLY CLOSE IN AGE WITH SAKURA), sakura SHOULD be a lesbian and the fact she isn't canonically is so disappointing."

So, what's up with Udon comics Karin?

Recently i got a hold of physical copies of the Sakura ganbaru manga and after reading through the whole thing i decided to organize this character analysis of sorts where I'll be comparing this awful iteration of the character to her versions from the game's canon and the manga where she originated from in order to highlight where the Udon comics completely missed the mark when it came to portraying her.

First off, who is Karin?

She's the sole heir to the Kanzuki Zaibatsu which is one of the biggest and wealthiest business organizations in the Street fighter world. She has an incredibly strict father and has been trained pretty much since birth to become what he considers a worthy heir, being set to live by their motto that's something along the lines of “In all things be victorious”.

Karin is very obviously SF’s version of the ojou girl character trope, she's filthy rich, snobbish, mean and has a condescending attitude from her mannerisms to her laughs. These are traits present in all of her iterations, however, there's one key element about Karin that completely flew over the heads of the udon comic writers;

Karin is not spoiled, she is proud.

At age 15 this girl was on her way to becoming the leader of one of the biggest business conglomerates of the world while also being proficient in several different fighting styles, remaining undefeated for god knows how long. Karin is good at what she does and she knows it, she's proud of her accomplishments and that's exactly why she acts the way she does.

Her attitude was never solely out of her fortune and status, it always came off as being mostly out of her own merit.

Meanwhile, in the Udon comics Karin is portrayed as a huge spoiled brat. They essentially removed every aspect that made her a rounded likable character and amplified all of her worst traits, a complete disservice to a character that in her proper characterization feels almost like a spin on the standard ojou girl archetype.

As research for this post I tried to find the first time she appeared in the story and as far as I'm aware that was on Street fighter issue 8 in a small backup/extra comic. In it, her initial fight with Sakura has already happened and Karin is after her for a rematch, Sakura is running late for school but Karin corners her so they can have their match, she beats her up fairly quickly and then runs off.

While appearing at the most inconvenient times is not out of character for her (Example: in Sakura ganbaru she breaks into Sakura's house at night by smashing her window solely so she could invite her to this fighting event she'll be hosting) one thing that stood out to me is how Karin talks about their previous fight.

She says that she only lost because of a fluke in their previous fight, implying that she would have won otherwise. And this is something that gets shown again and again in her later, major, appearances in the series; Street fighter legends Sakura (top left) and Street fighter Sakura vs Karin (Bottom left + right)

Karin seems to genuinely believe that there's no way she could lose to Sakura, and if she did, then there must have been some kind of casualty during the match that prevented her from whining, foul play involved on Sakura's part or she straight up says that the fight in which she was bested by her doesn't count for whatever reason.

This inability to accept defeat not only paints her as a whiny sore loser, but shows a clear misunderstanding on the writer’s part on the reason why Karin goes after Sakura.

She's not after this rematch because she refuses to accept that Sakura could win or even because she hates this girl, she just wants to prove herself as the better fighter to uphold her family's motto of being the winner at everything. In both the game's canon and in Sakura ganbaru she accepted that she was bested and worked towards growing stronger so that she could defeat Sakura in a rematch.

That's literally it, but for some reason the Udon comic writers seem to think that Karin has some sort of obsessive vendetta against Sakura and just can't stand her. In Street fighter legends Sakura she breaks a tv just because she saw Sakura being praised on it and in the prologue of this short series she's seen destroying several punching bags with Sakura's picture on it and makes one of her employees dress as her for them to fight.

(I'm sure there's a version of these with more dialogue but i couldn't find it in english :[)

This is downright atrocious because Karin NEVER hated Sakura. Her infatuation for her (because you really can't call it an obsession) came from a place of genuine admiration for her skills.

In Sakura ganbaru she orders her butler to give her a full resume about Sakura's life just because she saw her fighting from afar and was impressed by her skills, even calling her a “special commoner” when the butler asks her why she's so set on wanting to fight a girl like her. And in Alpha 3, Karin straight up tells Sakura that she admires her.

Hell, even after winning against Sakura in a match, Karin proclaims her as the better fighter. A level of humility that's almost nonexistent in her Udon comics counterpart.

Because yes, Karin can be nice. We see this first-hand in Alpha 3 where after losing to R.Mika in a fight she tells her hasn't studied enough about pro-wrestling (admitting that she had underestimated her fighting style) and even offers to sponsor Mika's wrestling career.

Later on in Street fighter V she pays Birdie to be her bodyguard and pretty much lets him lay around her mansion doing nothing all day after finding out Shadaloo was after him.

Something similar to these acts of kindness on her part happens in Legends Sakura, where she lets her employee keep the trophy of the hot dog eating competition they were in. But the thing is; they have made Karin such a bitch in these comics that this act, which would be in character for her game counterpart, feels out of character in this because she's just so mean and victory focused all the time.

And speaking of victories, another thing this characterization of her gets wrong is her approach to them. Udon comics Karin will go above and beyond in order to achieve a victory, it doesn't matter if it's unfair for her opponent, all that she cares about is if she scores that win.

In Legends Sakura she challenges Karin to a hot dog eating competition since she wasn't feeling like fighting her physically, Karin cheats in it by shoving the food down her employee’s throat under the table, when Sakura and her friends out her as a cheater she quickly changed the challenge into a fighting match even tho Sakura has eaten like 30 hot dogs by now and is in no condition to fight her.

And in Sakura vs Karin, where the two are competing in a game tournament, Karin buys the company that made the game and adds herself as a character on it. Something Sakura was previously not aware of and as such had no chance of knowing how to play well against the new character.

This is wild to me because it's quite literally the exact opposite of how Karin acts in her other iterations. She strives for a fair fight because otherwise her subsequent victory on it will be meaningless, after all, there's no merit in winning against someone when you've got an unfair advantage over them.

Even when she had the perfect opportunity to give herself an advantage, manga Karin still strived to keep things fair. After her initial loss against Sakura, she organizes a tournament around the district that's essentially a battle royale with several fighters of the region. She made this whole event with the sole purpose of challenging Sakura by the end of it since she expected her to defeat all the other opponents.

As the organizer, she could absolutely have abstained from joining the tournament herself and stand there high and mighty as the final challenge for the whole thing, but not only did she actively participate on the tournament, Karin strived to defeat more people than Sakura because she saw that as a way to redeem herself after losing to her a few days back.

She is so set in winning this tournament that she refused to even stop for a moment and get her injuries treated.

Cheating legitimately feels like something Karin would frown upon so to see her doing it more than once in the Udon comics feels like the pinnacle of character assassination.

Another thing that stood out to me is that even after being outed as a cheater during that hot dog eating competition, that not only had an immense live audience but was also being televised, Karin faces absolutely no repressions for it. Meanwhile in the manga Karin's father makes her undergo a series of trials in which she fights an eagle while balancing on a tightrope over a ravine, a bear in a waterfall, and a lion otherwise he would basically disown her.

All of this because she lost twice, first to Sakura and later to Ken during the tournament.

And speaking of Sakura, they messed up her and Karin's relationship so badly in the Udon comics that it's only when the two of them are adults that they become friends. Meanwhile, in both Alpha 3 and Sakura ganbaru volume 1 they're left on a good note with each other right after their stories wrap up and implied to have become friends in the following entries of the series.

In Street fighter IV this is done via Sakura's win quotes and in volume 2 by Sakura sending Karin a souvenir from her travels.

By the time we see them as adults in Street fighter V we are shown that yes, they are friends! And seemingly have been for quite a while now.

This is honestly kinda sad to me because we learn first hand that Udon comics Karin had no friends growing up and it seems like this lack of positive figures in her life, Sakura specially, stunted her growth as a person since it's also only when she's an adult that she comes to the realization that fighting it's not about winning or losing, but the moment of the battle, and that some defeats are more valuable than victories since it's from our failures that we can learn to grown stronger.

Something that both the manga and game  versions of Karin discovered much sooner, truly showcasing how Udon’s version of her is always 5 steps behind the others.

[sapphyreblayze]

I just read Sakura Ganbaru, and jeez, this manga had some prime RyuKen material;

I mean Ken cannot stop thinking about Ryu in this manga.

He literally enters a fighting tournament just to find him,

freaks out when he realises it’s Sakura he’s fighting in the finals and not Ryu,

thinks about Ryu during the fight,

and then decides that he and Sakura will race to see “who can get to Ryu first...”

...damn boy, you’re obsessed.

Later on, in the second volume, (which I don’t have access to in English unfortunately),

he accompanies Sakura to find Ryu (because of course he does),

and then in the epilogue, set in the future where Sakura’s a gym teacher,

he and Ryu show up at Sakura’s school, in his sports car, so that Ryu can challenge Sakura to fight. Ken’s out here lookin’ like Ryu’s sugar daddy!

Yep they’re totally boyfriends. He’s even carrying his bag.

      You ever thought to yourself “Fire Emblem, Pokemon, and now Persona?? Super Smash Bros. is practically an anime get together, not a video game get together” and then began to wonder just how many Smash Bros. series have an anime or manga? Well I gathered a list right here and put it in order of series, but in no particular chronological order.  This includes series that are represented by fighters, stages, music, items, assist trophies, stickers, trophies, spirits, or anything else. They all have the name they do on MAL, even if there is an English translation.

Note: If you thought something to the extent of “What about the Detective Pikachu Movie” or “I thought Castlevania had a Netflix show” those are all American and/or live-action, and aren’t in this list. I might make a list for those later however.

        Anyways, the total comes out to 315, 154 anime and 161 manga. Now that would be one hell of a binge-watch/read. Imagine how long it’d take to play all the games!

Was reading Sakura Ganbaru the other night and I forgot Karin’s father is literally Heihachi

[sunkern-plus]

@hydrostorm BUT LITERALLY THAT’S HOW I VIEW IT

I CANNOT SEE SAKURA’S ROMANTIC ATTRACTION FOR RYU AS GENUINE. AT  ALL. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHERE PEOPLE GET THE IDEA THAT SAKURA KASUGANO LIKES MEN WHEN ALL HER DYNAMICS WITH FEMALE CHARACTERS (KEI! KARIN! CAMMY!) ARE SO MUCH MORE WELL WRITTEN AND INTERESTING

LIKE EVEN ON CAMMY’S SIDE, SHE GAVE CAMMY HER NAME, SHE’S BEST FRIENDS WITH KEI AND MOST OF HER THOUGHTS WERE OF HER IN THE SFII AFTERMATH OVA LIKE SHE WAS SAD KEI GOT A BOYFRIEND APPARENTLY, AND SAKURA’S INTERACTIONS WITH KARIN IN SAKURA GANBARU ARE LITERALLY LEGENDARY YURI, I HAVE NO IDEA WHY MORE PEOPLE DON’T SHIP HER WITH KARIN ESPECIALLY IN JAPANESE FANDOM WHERE THEIR INTERACTIONS ARE LITERALLY LIKE EVERY WLW SHIP POPULAR IN ANY SHOUJO ANIME FANDOM

I DO NOT GET HOW SHE HAS FEELINGS FOR MEN AT ALL. I’M NOT EVEN A LESBIAN, I LITERALLY DON’T FACTOR GENDER INTO MY ATTRACTION AND THAT OFTEN COMES INTO THE WAY I SHIP THINGS AND EVEN I DON’T SEE HOW SHE’S ATTRACTED TO MEN IN ANY MEANINGFUL, MATERIAL WAY. LIKE HER CRUSH ON RYU (UNATTAINABLE, OLDER THAN HER, A MENTOR FIGURE) IS LITERALLY MULTIPLE POINTS OF COMPHET LIKE.

Pietra é nova personagem de Street Fighter... da UDON

Pietra é uma personagem apresentada nas hqs de Street Fighter feitas pela UDON, porém até então não temos citação da Capcom em relação a personagem. Ela é antagonista de Blanka, lenhadora e possui cabelos que lembram a Vampira dos X-Men, embora não tenha relação com a Capcom até o momento não seria novidade ter a personagem em Street Fighter 6, já que em 2006 a personagem Karin Kanzuki foi apresentada na HQ Sakura Ganbaru antes de estrear no jogo Street Fighter Alpha 3.

My fandom for Sakura Kasugano really began with the manga “Sakura Ganbaru” by Masahiko Nakahira. I always liked her, but in a pretty superficial way, and I was never that hardcore into her. This manga changed that. It’s so good. Even if you don’t like Street Fighter I highly recommend it. This manga inspired me to make my own fancomic of Sakura (which you will see later today).
