Mr. Karate | Mr. Karate, the hidden identity of Takuma Sakazaki, is a boss in the first Art of Fighting game, revealed to later be [[SvC_Chaos:_SNK_Vs_Capcom/Ryo Sakazaki|Ryo Sakazaki]] and [[The_King_of_Fighters_2002/Yuri|Yuri Sakazaki's]] father. However, here he claims to not be Takuma. He's one of the stronger shotos in SVC thanks to a well-balanced moveset and ease of use, and - shockingly - they gave Mr. Karate a DP! | ||
{{ ProConTable | |||
| pros= | |||
* '''Slightly faster dashes:''' Incredibly minor point, but Mr. Karate's dashes, both and forward dashes, are one frame faster than other characters, making his movement very slightly better. | |||
* '''Easy to play and learn:''' Mr. Karate is a traditional shoto through and through, and as such takes very little time to learn. At worst, you need to learn how to use his command normals or his optimal punishes, but is generally self-explanatory. | |||
* '''Fast projectile:''' Mr. Karate is able to comfortably play fireball wars thanks to having a fast and solid fireball to fight for space with or zone opponents out. It not only travels fast, but also starts fast, and recovers quickly, making fireball wars a cinch. | |||
* '''Finally got a DP:''' Historically, Mr. Karate and Takuma never had a DP, so they relied on other means to anti-air opponents, mainly normals. That's no longer the case in SVC Chaos, as Mr. Karate now has a solid DP to use with good reach to anti-air with. It has no i-frames, so he cannot use it to reversal, unfortunately, but it's something. | |||
* '''Running grab:''' Mr. Karate has access to a running grab in the event he cannot open the opponent up, or needs to mixup his pressure. It hits crouching opponents and does decent damage, as well, giving him one more way of playing aggressively or approaching the opponent when needed. | |||
* '''Super DP reversal:''' One of Mr. Karate's supers, a super DP, has a tall hitbox to it that makes it solid for anti-airs, but also comes with a ton of i-frames at the start, even when the active hitbox is out, and only becomes vulnerable after he starts rising. It makes a great reversal or a punish attack for rewarding damage. | |||
* '''Chargeable Exceed:''' For mixups or to ensure he lands all three hits, Mr. Karate can delay his Exceed when necessary, as opposed to immediately committing to it. It's a small but handy quality of life to his already strong exceed, especially for ensuring he can anti-air with it consistently. | |||
* '''Fundamentally sound character:''' Mr. Karate can do many things pretty well and isn't particularly suffering in any one area either. Even with bosses, he performs just fine and fits the overall pace of the game pretty well. If you want a reliable shoto, Mr. Karate has you covered. He plays both the grounded and air game pretty well, losing only to specialists. | |||
| cons= | |||
* '''Normals are a little situational:''' Mr. Karate's normals are good but have one or two issues that make them less useful in neutral. Some of the hitboxes on his normals are stubby, leaving him to use other normals instead, or are angled for anti-airs instead of being used in neutral. A few of his normals have somewhat lengthy startup, making them more situational. | |||
* '''Best light confirm locked behind late cancel f.A:''' Mr. Karate's best light confirm - and in some combos in general - requires using his f.A, but for it to get the desired outcome, a hard knockdown that gives him okizeme, the player has to slightly delay the f.A, making timing it harder. His light confirm combos otherwise hardly exist, without it. | |||
* '''Bland rushdown:''' Mr. Karate can play aggressively if he needs to, but his rushdown is one of the worst parts of his gameplay. He's better off playing defensively or with more zoning focused gameplay. Even though he has access to moves like Hien Shippu Kyaku or his running grab, he has to commit to his offense or work with simple mixups to open the opponent up. | |||
* '''Few super confirms:''' Mr. Karate has very few confirms into his supers, and in general they're hard to combo into, requiring he be way more aware of how he uses his meter to ensure he won't drop his combos or lose out on damage. Or even with Haoh Shou Kou Ken, it's not a great super in general, either. | |||
* '''Character specific combos:''' Besides few combos into super, Mr. Karate also has character specific combos due to hitbox wonkiness, which can be a major detriment to his gameplay. | |||
* '''Pointless Max Mode use:''' Mr. Karate gets no benefit from Max Mode beyond more supers. Whatever he can get from it makes no real difference from his gameplay, making him better off ignoring it to burn the meter for other purposes instead. | |||
* '''Loses to specialists:''' Overall, Mr. Karate is a sound character, but characters that specialize in zoning, or rushdown, or some other mix of factors, will win over him. He doesn't do any one thing amazingly well, making those matchups harder to win against. Plus, despite being in a very broken game, Mr. Karate is linear and simple. Almost as simple as Ryu in that sense. | |||

|description=* The classic Kyokugen projectile. It's pretty fast to use, can be used in basic combos(It can combo with the cl.Heavy attacks, and with all of the Command Moves). C version is faster than the A version, and it's nice if you want to alternate between them. It's good to see that he doesn't have his invisible projectile here. | |||

|description=* Takuma starts to punch the air until it hits the opponent while he isn't blocking. It's a 13 hit move(That's his record guys). The C version stays for a longer time than the A version, but if the move connects, the versions are the same in animation, and in damage(Unlike [[Ryo Sakazaki (SvC)|Ryo]]). Your opponent will gain meter while Mr. Karate punchs him, so watch out when you use it(And Mr. Karate will gain meter only when he begins the punching). Can be used as a followup to the last Special move in this list. | |||

Takuma had it since the first KoF games, and it's good to see it here. He is vulnerable while he's running. D version will run longer than in the B version. This move can be better used against turtlers. | |||

You can go directly to downback and regardless of whether you pressed back or down first, Mr. Karate can perform this move after he finishes charging. You will always have access to it.''' | |||
* The classic Kyokugen kicks. This is where you will make your combos(That's why his combo options are very limited). The D version is better to use in combos, because it does more hits than in the B version, more damage, and can juggle(The juggle isn't like in KoF'94). More info about the best followups will be in the combos section. | |||

|description=* The classic(And not invisible this time) Kyokugen's Super projectile. You can delay the release of the projectile by holding the button pressed. A version travels slower than in the C version(The C version is nice to use against projectile abusers). Mix between them to confuse your opponent. Delaying the release of the projectile cannot increase the damage of the Super. | |||

|description=* Mr. Karate throws three Super projectiles. You can delay it, like the Super above, but obviously, the damage is better. The speed of this move is the same as the C version of the Super above. If the first HSK hits the opponent in the ground, the other two will connect. If it hits in the air, the other two ''can'' connect. Like the Super, delaying the release of the projectile cannot increase the damage. Extremely good to punish those projectile abusers. | |||
}} | |||
}} | |||
==Strategy== | |||
===Basic Strategy=== | |||
'''''Mr. Karate's Gameplan''''' | |||
Mr. Karate is a simple character to use. So what now? It should be better if you play defensively with him, but without turtling and walking backwards/blocking low everytime. You can be better with him if you master the GCF thing. ''So... How can I be defensive with him? I just need to spam his DP?"'' Not exactly. You have other good defensive options, like the HSK Super(For some characters, it's very hard to jump over it), the f, b, f+P(You can use it as an anti-air too, and it can counter some Supers too), the DP Super(Yeah, you can anti-air your opponent while doing THAT damage), and finally, the QCB+P(The autoguard startup can help you a lot against some characters). But don't worry, you have offensive options too, like the DP Super(It can be used in some combos), his Charge db, f+D(Good part of his combos will have it), your Command Moves(Except for the one who can negate normal projectiles), and the Running Grab(Nice against turtlers), but remember, don't be an agressive player with Mr. Karate, or you'll pay. If you want to alternate the time you want to be offensive, and the time you want to be defensive with him, go ahead, and good luck in your matches. | |||
===Advanced Strategy=== | |||
'''''What to do in Max Mode?''''' | |||
Well... Mr. Karate cannot do good Max Mode combos, so... What to do? You have max cancelable moves, like your QCB+P(You cannot combo after it), and your DP(It can be max canceled, but if you can do a Special Move in 1-5 frames without those macros, go ahead). It should be better for him if you just do Supers in Max Mode. | |||
'''''Resets''''' | |||
Resets are really important in this game, and the characters who have moves with juggle properties(Like Mr. Karate) are almost experts on that. And he have 2(As I know) possible reset combos(I saw them in a video, and I could prove that they are possible). Now for the first one(You can add here if you know some more interesting resets): | |||
(Midscreen only) Charge db, f+D(You can add a cr.C before it if you want more damage), High Jump(In the opponent's direction), j.C, dash,(When your opponent is in the ground) cr.B, QCF(2x)+K | |||
Really good to use when you can. It's really easy to land(You can punish easily with that Charge move), and the damage is very good. It should be better if you practice it. The bad is that this reset combo can only be done while you're in midscreen(It isn't good in the corner because you'll need to dash). The dash is the most important part, because it can confuse your opponent(It can make him block in the wrong direction). Now for the second one: | |||
(Midscreen only) Charge db, f+D(Here, you can add a cr.C too), dash, cl.C, Jump, j.D(As a crossup), cr.B, cl.A, f+A, DP+P | |||
This reset is little harder than the first combo above, but it's good if you don't have meter. The damage is really good too(A little more than half of one bar, and that's the damage of some Supers). Mr. Karate's combos and resets aren't HUGE things, but they are good to see in a match, and that's one of the things that makes him a great character to use in this game. Oh, and if you're having trouble with one of the two resets, watch [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkMRH6FZoao this video] and jump to 2:27. | |||

|cr.B, cr.A, dp A || TBA || TBA || TBA || TBA || Requires Karate to be very close for DP to connect. Not the most reliable combo but still, it's a confirm off a low. | |||

|- | |||
|cr.B, cr.A, (delay) f.A || TBA || TBA || TBA || TBA || Basic combo string for some damage. Nothing spectacular, but it's a way to confirm some damage on a low starter, without the issue of DP whiffing, either. Delay the f.A cancel for a hard knockdown and get some oki. | |||
|- | |||
|Starter, hcb K || TBA || TBA || TBA || TBA || Not a real combo, but it's a way to forcibly set up a reset into his running grab on people who don't react to it, as well as close the gap a little. Use it sparingly so the opponent doesn't get used to expecting it. | |||
|- | |||
|(j.X,) cl.C, qcf P || TBA || TBA || TBA || TBA || Simple combo. Do it when you need. Only that. | |||
|- | |||

Introduction
Mr. Karate, the hidden identity of Takuma Sakazaki, is a boss in the first Art of Fighting game, revealed to later be Ryo Sakazaki and Yuri Sakazaki's father. However, here he claims to not be Takuma. He's one of the stronger shotos in SVC thanks to a well-balanced moveset and ease of use, and - shockingly - they gave Mr. Karate a DP!
Strengths | Weaknesses |
---|---|
|
|
SVC Chaos: SNK VS Capcom Frame Data Glossary | |
---|---|
Damage |
How much damage the attack does. This takes into account no defense modifiers, so the damage assumes a 0% damage modifier, or in other words the average defense modifier of 223 against characters like Kyo and Ryu.
|
Counter Damage |
How much damage the attack does on a counter hit, or when it connects with an opponent while they're performing an attack. Counter damage values listed are pulled from the SVC Chaos Enterbrain Mook, save Athena, Red Arremer, Serious Mr. Karate and Shin Akuma. |
Guard |
Where the attack hits, and thus where it must be blocked.
|
Guard Crush |
How much guard meter damage the attack does to the green Guard Gauge. |
Stun |
How many points of stun the attack adds to the opponent's invisible Stun Gauge. |
Meter |
How much meter is gained for performing/landing the attack. Special moves earn meter both when activated and when they connect with the opponent, whether it hits them or they block it. |
Cancel |
The type of cancel the attack can perform.
|
Startup |
How many frames it takes before the move becomes 'active' or has a hitbox. The SVC Chaos wiki uses classic startup notation, which does not include the first active frame. A move with 3 startup becomes active on frame 4. Super and Exceed startup will calculate both the frames before and after the super flash animation as such: X+Y, with X being the startup frames before the flash animation and Y being the startup frames after the flash animation.
|
Active |
How many frames a move remains active (can hurt opponents) for. Consecutive sets of active frames on a multi-hit move are separated by a comma. (Example: 3, 4 - The attack has its first hitbox for 3 frames, then the second hitbox for 4 frames)
|
Recovery |
How many frames it takes for a move to finish after it's been active. |
Total |
The total number of frames the attack lasts on screen for. This adds up the startup, active, and recovery frames into one number. |
Hit/Block Adv |
These are frame advantage values when the attack hits or is blocked. If the number is positive, then the move will end before the defender can act again. If the number is negative, the defender will be able to act before the attacker and maybe even punish.
|
Invulnerability |
Indicates whether there's any frames of invulnerability during the attack. |

Strategy
Basic Strategy
Mr. Karate's Gameplan
Mr. Karate is a simple character to use. So what now? It should be better if you play defensively with him, but without turtling and walking backwards/blocking low everytime. You can be better with him if you master the GCF thing. So... How can I be defensive with him? I just need to spam his DP?" Not exactly. You have other good defensive options, like the HSK Super(For some characters, it's very hard to jump over it), the f, b, f+P(You can use it as an anti-air too, and it can counter some Supers too), the DP Super(Yeah, you can anti-air your opponent while doing THAT damage), and finally, the QCB+P(The autoguard startup can help you a lot against some characters). But don't worry, you have offensive options too, like the DP Super(It can be used in some combos), his Charge db, f+D(Good part of his combos will have it), your Command Moves(Except for the one who can negate normal projectiles), and the Running Grab(Nice against turtlers), but remember, don't be an agressive player with Mr. Karate, or you'll pay. If you want to alternate the time you want to be offensive, and the time you want to be defensive with him, go ahead, and good luck in your matches.
Advanced Strategy
What to do in Max Mode?
Well... Mr. Karate cannot do good Max Mode combos, so... What to do? You have max cancelable moves, like your QCB+P(You cannot combo after it), and your DP(It can be max canceled, but if you can do a Special Move in 1-5 frames without those macros, go ahead). It should be better for him if you just do Supers in Max Mode.
Resets
Resets are really important in this game, and the characters who have moves with juggle properties(Like Mr. Karate) are almost experts on that. And he have 2(As I know) possible reset combos(I saw them in a video, and I could prove that they are possible). Now for the first one(You can add here if you know some more interesting resets):
(Midscreen only) Charge db, f+D(You can add a cr.C before it if you want more damage), High Jump(In the opponent's direction), j.C, dash,(When your opponent is in the ground) cr.B, QCF(2x)+K
Really good to use when you can. It's really easy to land(You can punish easily with that Charge move), and the damage is very good. It should be better if you practice it. The bad is that this reset combo can only be done while you're in midscreen(It isn't good in the corner because you'll need to dash). The dash is the most important part, because it can confuse your opponent(It can make him block in the wrong direction). Now for the second one:
(Midscreen only) Charge db, f+D(Here, you can add a cr.C too), dash, cl.C, Jump, j.D(As a crossup), cr.B, cl.A, f+A, DP+P
This reset is little harder than the first combo above, but it's good if you don't have meter. The damage is really good too(A little more than half of one bar, and that's the damage of some Supers). Mr. Karate's combos and resets aren't HUGE things, but they are good to see in a match, and that's one of the things that makes him a great character to use in this game. Oh, and if you're having trouble with one of the two resets, watch this video and jump to 2:27.

Combos
SVC Chaos: SNK VS Capcom Quick Combo Notation Guide | |
---|---|
May change to numpad notation much later down the road. |
Combo | Position | Damage | Stun | Difficulty | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
cr.B, cr.A, dp A | TBA | TBA | TBA | TBA | Requires Karate to be very close for DP to connect. Not the most reliable combo but still, it's a confirm off a low. |
(Cross-up j.X,) [cr.B, cr.A,] / [cl.C,] f.A, dp A | TBA | TBA | TBA | TBA | Backhit only combo. dp A will just barely be within range on backhit to still combo even after the f.A command normal. |
cr.B, cr.A, (delay) f.A | TBA | TBA | TBA | TBA | Basic combo string for some damage. Nothing spectacular, but it's a way to confirm some damage on a low starter, without the issue of DP whiffing, either. Delay the f.A cancel for a hard knockdown and get some oki. |
Starter, hcb K | TBA | TBA | TBA | TBA | Not a real combo, but it's a way to forcibly set up a reset into his running grab on people who don't react to it, as well as close the gap a little. Use it sparingly so the opponent doesn't get used to expecting it. |
(j.X,) cl.C, qcf P | TBA | TBA | TBA | TBA | Simple combo. Do it when you need. Only that. |
(j.X,) cr.C, [db]~f.D, reset | TBA | TBA | TBA | TBA | This is a nice combo to use if you want to punish your opponent. The dp P is just one of the options to when you don't have meter/Exceed to use. This is one of Mr. Karate's most damaging combos with supers. |
(j.X,) cr.C, [db]~f.D, dp P | TBA | TBA | TBA | TBA | |
(j.X,) cr.C, [db]~f.D, qcf x2 K | TBA | TBA | TBA | TBA | |
(j.X,) cr.B, cr.A, qcf x2 K | TBA | TBA | TBA | TBA | The simplest way to combo into the DP Super. You can do it everywhere. |
(j.X,) cr.C, [db]~f.D, Exceed | TBA | TBA | TBA | TBA | |
Anti-Air f~hcf A, Exceed | TBA | TBA | TBA | TBA | Should be performed some distance away from the opponent. This isn't really a combo that you will use much, but it's possible to do anyway, if you happen to get an anti-air. Not necessary to learn. |
