Be honest i'm not gonna send you a worm or anything.</STRONG>
Um, I'd hate to break this to you, but Karin is Sakura's rival - just as Iori is Kyo's. (Except of course, they don't wish to KILL each other, just prove their superiority)
They have the similar theme of being schoolgirls, but beyond that their styles are really different. Sakura uses her own self-taught shotokan variation, Karin has a multipart punch offense kinda like Kyo's aragami chain.
btw KArin was actually a character from a manga about Sakura... Capcom liked her design and incorporated her into SFA3.
