He looks like a Tengu.

Takuma Sakazaki as "Seriously, I'm Mr. Karate." lol

Takuma needs respect.

Of course, due to the fact the he equals Shin Gouki in terms of power according to both SNK and Capcom.

I think he may be able to defeat Shen Long.

Takuma Sakazaki/Mr. Karate/Serious Mr. Karate

Damn...didn't know his nose was that long.

Well, now you do.

What gives him his incredible power?

I've heard rumors that the Tengu Mask gives him his power as Serious Mr. Karate

I think Mr. Karate is an awfully lame name.

I also find it wierd that this guy could destroy an island by punching it. It's just....funny.

He states the mask he wears is simply a normal Tengu mask. And nothing else.

It's in the Mr. Karate persona to be lame, that's why he throws out his regular lame Justice lines.

Well, to be honest, there's no actual proof that S.Mr. K Can actually do what S.Akuma does... in fact, there's nothing to suggest that he actually does anything more effectively than Takuma outside of gameplay...

Thats just my oppinion though... the Comics really overplay him to match Akuma though.

Feats I can think of at moment
-Has a nearly instant and invisible Ko-Ou Ken attack.
-Recharge his own Ki
-Ability to nullify most projectile attacks before they reach him.
-Ability to throw giant projectiles up to 1-3 times.

There's more, I'm just too lazy to list them all.

That Ko-Ou Ken actually takes to long to actually fire...

He doesn't recharge his Ki... he gets it back normally like everyone else.

He can actually nullify "Normal" projectiles by using his crouching LP... (I completely forgot about this capability)

And yes, he can throw one or three Haoshikoukens as a special move, and it can only be stopped by Super Projectiles, or equivelant specials like Shin Akuma's Messatsu Gou Hadou or Athena's Heaven's Gate.

Fan Art of Mr. Karate after being Blissed.

What the FVCK...

I'm getting fed up with this blissing bullshit. Demetri's a homo for having thought of turning a man into a women to have sex with him.

Lol.

Profiling that in a few short minutes, and I don't mean Mrs. Karate either.

Ahahahahaaa!

Anyone noticed how Sonny Chiba can pass for Takuma in some photos back when he was younger?

yeah...finally one man can satisfy two women at the same time!

why is she swaeting?

Obviously because I'm screwing her?

I'm serious, she's sweating like a hungry football player.

Mr Karate is cooler than Akuma but not as BADASS as Ultra Rugal

Blasphemy...Akuma IS THE most coolest character and most powerful character!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Is that the reason why Ultra Rugal threw him like a f*cking tennis ball?

That wasn't Gouki. That was someone who looked like Gouki.

Yeah Right!

It's the truth, foo. Ultra Rugal could never one shot a meteor twice the size of Earth or destroy an island with his knuckles alone because he's a pussy. Just look at him.

It's one of his moves, he can charge up his super meter.

Okay

EDIT SIDE NOTE: Rugal was never a badass.

I'm talking abour a slight lag on the HP version, but I guess instantaneous hit from the launch point compensates for that.

Mmm... I think I forgot that one too, I was going through his moves list, and yes, he does have a charger technique similar to Felicia's.

You where correct.

I personally think that akuma is cooler than Takuma, but I happen to like some of Rugal's techniques better than Akuma's

And what makes you think Cody is a badass?

Honestly, I liked Old Man Sakazaki better than Ryo and Robert. Bout damn time Mr. Karate stopped hanging with Lee Pai Long and get back into the game of busting heads.

It looks like he just had a stroke...
