Initially I hated the idea of Kolin as a character, it seemed the most random and inappropriate choice possible. Then I considered her role in the Illuminati and the possibility for her expand that storyline, I saw that they could come up with good looking moves and gameplay for her, she had a nice story, she even had a decent enough personality and, even if I still think sheâs pretty bland looking, now I think that Kolin is a really good character for Street Fighter.
Also, people comparing her to Sub-Zero because âiceâ are idiots.
The thing Capcom was ripping off while making Kolin was obviously Kula Diamond, get your Fighting Games Facts straight!
Kolin is from SF3 you dolt. And I donât know how else you want me to say it, but ice powers dont mean shes a subzero rip off. As for the derp thingy, S1 ken air tatsu let him beat anti airs clean. He encouraged jumping. Lots of yolo dps after -2 moves. Wake up tatsus. All beatable but very derpy tactics.
Talking about video game characters doesnât make you any less of an idiot. Saying Kolin is based on Sub-Zero when thereâs no similarities between them other than ice than cite money as the reason why. Iâve smarter reasoning in YouTube comments.
Like nothing to do with Sub Zero or any NRS crap lol
Fun thing is Kolin respect basically all the pillars of a SF character design, much more than some SF characters of the past
Only ignorance or bias can prevent from admit it, but whatever let him cry lol =)
Ed is a bit a more complex subject, but overall heâs a cool addition
We seen almost nothing of Menat, but iâm ok with SF adding Egypt to his world tour of stereotypes.
Also seem like they will push Blue Waterâs Nadia even more than they did on Elena back to SF3, expect her to be acrobatic/circus af.
For the little i can see she seem a perfect addition (much better than any dolls, like that shadow looked for a while)
I just hope the ball doesânt mean she will play like SC5 Viola
I canât for the life of me see why someone would consider Kolin a lame ass character and then proceed to explain why shoto N° 3 is an interesting design.
Fun thing is that i hope we will get Tom too (even story wise will be logical), and if ever happen i expect another wave of whining about lame NPCs lol
Perhaps Mary mistakenly thought that Akuma was the #1 shoto. Ken used to be the other shoto, but they both evolved so much during the SF series that they fight very differently now. SFV is the best iteration of this game, but colon and e.d. suck. Perhaps the name calling posters above would want a psycho powered midget that can make you crap in your pants and slip on your own shit for damage. Very inventive. Are pokemon characters part of the SF5 future? Iâm sure that capcom can give them some very interesting moves.
the only NRS thing about Kolin is the hella ugly, stupid looking stabby hands special animation. Hondaâs looked cool but Kolinâs looks like Ed Boon mocapped it in front of a mirror in his bathroom.
fun thing is that Seth final design was theyr fail to make Seth chara design fit into his moveset (stretchy arm, stomach orb etc), because chara design wise what was supposed to look was better than what we got
the point was exactly to show him trying to distancing himself as possible from other ânaked clonesâ, end up ingame they made him look like one LOL
Same for stage, you see him having some sort of âSIN throne roomâ, but they end up giving him the crappy lab freak theme stage
With his âoriginalâ design concept and a lil better moveset (ultras specially) he could have been a good SF boss
Not gonna Lie!, I hate Ed.
For the past 2 weeks iâve been playing SFV and DOA2 religiously becouse
i know nothing about them and while doa2 is cool, SFV definetly has itâs odd cornerâs.
And right now Edâs design is the biggest thing to buggle my mind.
I will not lie either. Taste in character design is very subjective and personal. That said, I would have preferred capcom concentrate on improving their original existing characters and not shovel these boring ass shit characters at us. Any character from the ssf2 game would be much better than the shit they are trying to shove down our throats. This game is Street Fghter, not KOF, Tekken, pokemon, or some other wanna be fighting game. They have enough great material to work with.
Sound like theyâre shoving âboring ass shit charactersâ at you and others against new chars on principle
Wich is fair, just pls stop act as some SF âIâve been street fighting since SF2CEâ paladin because i can play the very same card and iâm still calling your bullshit out lol
And the i-know-SF-history" crap doesânt play in your favour⌠sub-fucking-zero a char that use ice?
Sheâs in line with SF history of designs and we already got GILL (who guess what, is linked to her) that does it
New characters are pokemon because they control some âelementsâ? Flash news, they do it since SF2 (or SF1 if we want count âkiâ)
If anything character design wise new SFV (and SF4) characters tend to be more loyal to original SF(2) style than SF3 was, mostly because Ono love SF2 and wanted reverse the âSF3 revolutionâ
