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

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.

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!
