Note Karin is destroying projectiles with her strikes, not just armouring through, and not just passing through them with projectile invincibility.

V-Skill "Meioken" (MP+MK): Dissipates 1 hit of a projectile. Note it continues through the projectile and delivers a strike. Works charged or uncharged.

V-Trgger "Guren Ken", "Guren Hosho" followup (QCF+P, P): All 3 hits have 1 hit of projectile dissipation, and will continue through a projectile to strike past it, just like the V-Skill.

Some characters' projectiles are slow enough on startup or recovery(Looking at Nash mostly.) that Karin can activate V-Trigger on reaction before using Guren Ken.

The strikes of Guren Ken and Guren Hosho don't seem fast enough to dissipate all hits from any multi-hit projectiles, as the strikes need to be active for the projectile dissipation property to take effect, leaving a window between them where Karin will be hit by the second hit of such a projectile.
There is also a bit of startup time before the projectile dissipation becomes active with strikes, making spacing the V-Trigger to work as a projectile punish harder than it looks; it's easier to do as a preemptive read than a reaction.

Probably "Ressenha" (QCB+P) is a better fireball punish in most circumstances, but I find this property of Karin's V-Skill/V-Trigger somewhat interesting, and it never seems to get touched on in Karin videos, at least so far.

Perhaps someone will discover an interesting application of this property in future...
