Standard counters do some serious damage too. Just noticed on that Balrog Comeback.
You’re right. There’s a small delay before the freeze and the health drain though, so immediate combos after freezing leads to less damage. Health drain is similar to FANG’s poison, but without any visual effects on the HP Bar.
It’s like they want us to taunt before the combo.
How long does the freeze state last? Because if you know the exact timing you can probably get the equivalent of a heavy punch/kick simply by letting the ice damage stack before starting your combo. They’ve said you can’t wiggle the stick to get out of it so it must be a fixed timer running down.
Freeze state has no fixed timer, unlike FANG’s poison. It lasts until you successfully strike her.
What? That can’t be right. You could just let your opponent’s life drain until it reaches zero then. Or 1 and then hit them. Can’t really imagine that being the case because reaching freeze state would be auto-win for Kolin.
Edit: or I suppose the damage it does during freeze is fixed.
I’m pretty sure this does not deal damage, but just block the stun gauge.
It does deal slow damage when you successfully freeze an opponent. However it seems to be in form of gray life.
If you look closely you see that the part of the bar that goes down is of a different colour. That’s what makes me think is some kind of gray life.
It’s either gray life or a fixed amount of life, or both. But there’s definitely no timer on the freeze. You have to hit her.
Yeah it forces her opponents to go on the offense, and she’s packed with defensive tools and counters to scare the opponent
I was under the impression that Freeze lasted as much as an Unmashed Stun. If that’s the case, you can let it tick down for quite a bit then combo, but not let the opponent as a popsicle until it dies. It does legit damage, not grey health.
Also, if I got it right, the only way to reset the Stun Bar during Trigger is hitting Kolin.
Correct.
So using does using a v-reversal lower the stun at all or just do nothing?
From what I remember you can v reversal it just like normal. I think it just cancels the freezing. I could be wrong tho.
Well, to know that, we need to test a whiffed V-Reversal, any hit unfreezes the Stun Bar.
Does whiffed VR’s remove stun normally?
Any guess on her throw range?
Yeah. You can V-reversal full screen fireballs for example and reduce your stun in the process.
I doubt it will remove the freeze state in the Kolin matchup though, it seems to me you really have to hit her for that.
Edit: her three counter animations:
Hadn’t seen the low counter before, looks really good.
Oooh that’s quite stylish
I assume very similar to Juri’s.
