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
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
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.

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)

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

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!
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.
