Rumor: Karin Gets Roll’d in Street Fighter V?
So here’s a fun little thing for those of you able/interested in checking out Street Fighter V, which comes exclusively to the PlayStation 4 and PC on February 16th.

Not much on the face of it, right? But if we add a little color…
There we are! Throw in some red and a green ribbon, accentuated by her usual blonde hair, and — well, she’s not the spitting image of Roll’s usual attire, but the inspiration here is pretty clear.
That said, it arguably really seems to apply only to that one color scheme; some others have been dug up, and they’re clearly doing their own thing:
Of course, the game is still in beta and these outfits and other things aren’t finalized yet, hence the “rumor” tag at the top. Otherwise, it seems pretty legit, and you can read and see much more beyond the Karin stuff in the links below.
Thanks to Vhyper1985 for the tip!
