Oh and forgot to tell about the funniest. EX.Dp goes up and down twice, so it must be parried mid both times then he is down. But it’s also practically irrelevant.
Been playing Kolin for a while and didn’t even know m.hailstorm was a universal meaty, this changes the game for me. I thought Kolin was super weak but this bit of knowledge might actually make her a lot better than I initially thought.
Cancelling the first hit of sweep into lk vanity step gives you lots of time to confirm a silver’s edge followup if it crush counters. If it doesn’t CC, you just backstep and get some space. I’m going to test how punishable it is when I get home. It’s a fun way to land super though.
It doesn’t work at the max range tip of the cr HK, mind you, so I’m starting to think it’s probably not as useful as I thought it was. Still fun, though.

^^ That guy has some interesting Kolin videos on his channel
He also has a very good textual guide https://docs.google.com/document/d/1r5lsyvV35YMkkC9bOuPa1s1dmsuYaad60AycAu1RPVo
Has a lot of info in it and at least for now plans to continue expanding it.
Does he main her or does he do that for multiple characters?
As far as i understood currently he is concentrated on Kolin. In the guide there is footage of his tournament play. On stream he plays her too mainly. And he did say at some of his videos that Kolin is the character he most enjoys in SFV. But for how long i don’t know. Before he used to play (or study) Urien.
Also Laura for a while too.
can’t believe mudman’s kolin tips werent posted. essential stuff
2 set ups into critical.
back throw>v trigger> critical …note that your opponent can escape the v trigger ice juggle with a quick rise recovery. careful with this one.
mk vanity step> cr. mk>v trigger> critical.
practice practice practice this.
My favorite swag ender with Kolin is lk.vs>icehand>CA
That’s actually not only swag but a rather good response to Akuma’s air fireball. 50% damage just for jumping is pretty good.
Damn guys!!
c MP, s MK combos on normal hit, making this my personal favorite Kolin blockstring. s MK can be special cancelled into the DP+P Ice for not much damage but a possible meaty projectile if they get up wrong. s MK can also be special cancelled into QCF+MP for more damage and/or a Super cancel! If the opponent tries to attack after the c MP, they’ll get counterhit and Kolin can combo into s LK, QCF+LP, and Super cancel if you want, too. Unfortunately DP+P doesn’t combo after s LK. What’s great about this blockstring is you can pester opponents with repeated c MP attacks to take away grey life while also trying a throw. Then finish the blockstring as a mixup when you suspect they might attack!

I dont see the crossup tho
Hey, this is mostly for fun but here’s a couple of fun ways to punish abigail’s charge hp. If you catch it a bit later you can cancel cr lp, st lk ect into the counter as well. The vanishing step seems to work in mk or lk even without meter, but if you time it wrong or press punch too early on the lk vanishing step you’ll still get caught. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3V_DVFEMSEs
Still, it’s a fun and flashy way to hopefully make abigail think twice about charging up for the guard break.
As for the flip kick, well, blocking is best obviously since you get a full St hk punish afterwards, but I find a normal into ex mk vanishing step almost guarantees a punish so far if you know it’s coming.
1-any changes to her with the arcade edition update?
2-her second v trigger, what is it and what set ups exists for using it? what it links into and out of.
