Колин выходит на Каток! The Character Discussion Thread

Frame rate a little inconsistent for anyone else on the ps4 version? I’m trying to do here trials but the frame rate is awful for me

On PC I keep getting mass slowdown(not frame drops) and I just got super speed, like it’s being played at 50% speed and then suddenly played at 150%

Yea, I’m getting that too on ps4. It’s really jarring. Load times are mad long for me too. I wonder if it’s trying to talk to the server and somethings going wrong

It’s always the servers.

Can someone lab if she has EX parabellum air resets if you try to get air normals from her h.vanity step in the corner? I can’t fucking play in this lag

Yeah…WTF at the one fight story. At least the art was solid and we got a good deal of Gill. Poor Guile…he was so close.

cr.mp > st.mk xx m.hailstorm(the icicle) and then dash forward once, covers both backrise and quickrise and is meaty against 3f normals! lmfao

sacrifice damage for a very good follow-up, the icicle gives you enough frame advantage to press basically anything. It’s very good.

What does she say in the select screen?

The one fight story was disappointing but the character story itself is fantastic. The current-era Bengus art is actually pretty good for once, and Cindy Robinson kills the vocal performance dead like she did in ASF. The flashbacks to her meeting with Gill are excellent.

From the story thread, my summary:

[details=Spoiler]Kolin is sitting reading the Book of Miraha outside Nash’s tomb, waiting for him to wake up just before A Shadow Falls. She remembers when she served in the army in an unnamed Soviet country that is now destroyed.

Guile wanders by looking for Nash – perhaps rumors that he’s alive, post-Abel? – and Kolin says her brother is sleeping nearby. Guile says Nash was like a brother to him, and Kolin drops her sweet facade for a moment to say family and friends are useless because they will only die and leave you to mourn them. Guile tries to walk past her into the tomb, and she attacks him. Guile is astonished, and asks if she was military.

Kolin defeats Guile and disappears. Guile doesn’t seem to remember the battle taking place. Byron Taylor appears (I am confident he’s DLC this season now, lol) and tries to convince Guile to move on because Nash is dead. Kolin, hiding, has another mood swing and calls them disgusting dogs. She blames men like Taylor and Guile for waging war like the one that destroyed her homeland.

Kolin continues her flashback, remembering being the only survivor of her unit. Her country is destroyed. She wanders into the tundra and collapses by a dead flower in the snow. Gill appears to her, “like an angel”, and asks her name. She says she has no name. He asks her country, and she says it is gone. He offers to build a new country of God for her where she can live, if she desires it. A butterfly begins to hatch from a chrysalis on the dead flower.

Back in the present before ASF, Kolin says Nash now has a purpose higher than that of any soldier, and he should feel privileged. She goes into the tomb to prepare for his waking up.[/details]

Her round-ender is “You lose. You must have miscalculated.” She’s haughty in just the way I wanted.

if anyone finds anything, drop it in there. I’ll post some stuff as I get more things.

She has the best story in the game holy shit really well done.

I don’t even give a shit about the one fight thing

Agreed. It’s the first time I’ve really felt like the character story added something significant.

The frame data I was able to gather:

forward dash: 17f (but has an impressive range)

st. LP: 4f, +4 oH, +2 oB
cr. LP: 3f, +4 oH, +1 oB
st. MP: 6f, +4 oH, +2 oB
cr. MP: 6f, +5 oH, +2 oB
st. HP: 8f, +5 oH, -2 oB. CC button but gives almost no advantage on CH (+8)
cr. HP: 7f, 0 oH, -3 oB
st. LK: 5f, 0 oH, -2 oB
cr. LK: 4f, +3 oH, +1 oB
st. MK: 5f, +3 oH, -2 oB. Literally Laura’s st. MK but special cancellable
cr. MK: 8f, +3 oH, +1 oB. Not special cancellable. Pretty close to Urien’s cr. forward
st. HK: 11f, +6 oH, -2 oB. CC button, whiffs on crouchers
cr. HK: 10f, -12 oB, launches and scores a hard knockdown on 2nd hit. 1st hit is special cancellable but doesn’t knock down, 2nd hit is actually not a low

f+MK: 23f, +1 oH, -6 oB. Overhead that combos into cr. LP on CH
b+HK: 15f, +3 oH, -2 oB. CC button that launches, this one hits crouchers
V-Skill: +3 oH, -7 oB

st. LP > st. MP: 0 oH, -6 oB
st. LP > st. MP > st. HP: +1 oH, -9 oB
st. MK > st. HP: -1 oH, -9 oB
st. MP > st. HP > VS: launches oH, -12 oB
M command dash > cr. LK > cr. HK: -12 oB
M command dash > cr. LK > st. HP: +2 oH, -8 oB
M command dash > cr. MP > st. HP: +5 oH, -2 oB
L command dash > P: KD oH, -12 oH (-4 if meaty)

L Parabellum: +2 oH, -4 oB
M Parabellum: +4 oH, -6 oB
H Parabellum: KD oH, -9 oB
EX Parabellum: KD oH, -4 oB
L/EX Hailstorm: KD oH, -8 oB
M/H Hailstorm: KD oH, -11 oB

Other random notes:

  • the double jump can be done VERY late after a heavy command dash
  • her best AA normals seem to be st. MP, cr. HP and st. HK
  • all regular versions of Frost Touch counter on frame 2 and EX version counters on frame 1. You can actually toss out a -2 oB move and then parry a 3f jab after that!

Don’t know whether this has been posted: Needs more testing

Cr.Lk, Cr.Lp, QCF LP is safe vs Ryu’s HP SRK

St.Lp goes straight into her St.Lp TC (St.Lp/MP/HP)

Another black guy!? Yes! Hopefully he won’t be a caricature like DJ or Balrog(whom I’ve grown to appreciate).

Looks like c LP, c MP, s MK, s HP is your standard block string. After c LP or s LP is blocked, Kolin is still in range of a throw, which is very good.

Damn people are already saying she’s low tier online. Let’s give her some more time at least…jeesh

At least the majority thinks she’s fun to play

That AA counter already seems OD, I got a strong feeling that her AA game will be hard to rival. Even her fireballs can be used to AA when timed properly. Also, I feel like she reminiscent of Viper. You know, her movement and all that. Definitely not low tier for sure.

I don’t think she’s low tier at all.
Side note is anyone not able to connect to a match o.O?

eh? why? she has some of the better oki of the cast from what I’m testing.
