Yes, there is an oldschool term for that: STSFN (Save That Shit For Nationals).

The Kubota Escape was suppose to be an example of hidden tactic, but it was "accidentally" leaked. In fact, Japan's mistake for Marvel was to play at FGTV, where Filipino Champ was able to "download" them (learn their style and tricks).

Standing Heavy Kick has improved startup and recovery, which allows it to link into Standing Heavy Punch on hit.
j.A, j.C, and j.CD can be canceled into air Hien Shippukyakku.
His new f+A command normal improves his damage from light hitconfirms, giving Karate better meterless damage options than Takuma.
Most of Mr. Karate's normal attacks can be superjump canceled on hit.
While Karate's normal are still stubby, the improved st.D and hitconfirms into f+A make his standard close game more threatening. However, Karate's fullscreen options are limited to countering projectiles to ultimately get in since he lacks a fireball.
Has a qcb+P counter move which can be used to counter projectiles or teleport in on the opponent, though it doesn't counter low attacks.
Has a 'DP' uppercut special. This gives him better reversal and anti-air options than Takuma, and with meter Karate has a Shin Shoryuken DM.
Lacks an anywhere juggle move. EX Zanretsuken behaves like Ryo's.
Lacks a fullscreen projectile, though his qcf+P does have a projectile hitbox which can nullify projectiles. In essence, it's an invisible Kouken.
His command grab a running grab, so it's pretty telegraphed and punishable. When it does hit, it can't be canceled for extra damage, so Karate's grab pales in comparison to Takuma's.
