I love this character.
Didn’t expect much after the reveal, but she’s just so much fun.
Her counter exposes flowchart play so hard.
Haven’t been able to try her out much yet, but she looks super fun.
I’ll first try to get used to her normals and specials before even looking at the advanced mixup stuff she has.
IMO her v-skill is her best anti air. If you time it right it doesnt matter what they do. If they attack the armor kicks in and you get the two hit v-skill. Great for corner carry and can cancel into v-trigger for extra dmg. can link super after V-Trigger near corner.
If they empty jump. the v-skill still hits before they land.
You want to time it near the apex of their jump. Too late and they can block if they empty jumped.
Edit: this even works with neutral jumps.
So Kolin’s EX Parabellum mix-up into MK+HK EX H.Vanity > whiff st.lk(force cross-under) > cr.mp
can you do that with the meterless version of H.Vanity or is it impossible?
Nah, you air reset them with j.mk and then press St.lk into cr.mp as you land which forces her to cross-under and gives the cr.mp meaty, but it only works with EX air Vanity so it’s telegraphed as hell
Found a weird bug in training mode.
I set Ryu as a training dummy with wake-up jab.
After freezing him with V-trigger, grabbing him on wake up eliminates the frost effect, even though the jab doesn’t hit.
I wasn’t too excited for Kolin, but I’m loving her. She is a breath of fresh air. I can’t put my finger on it, but she’s just so damn cool (no pun intended). It’s almost like she belongs in a different game, which I think, is good for SFV.
It’s still a mix-up a la Mika, so it should still be good.
Also, you can do the air reset with j.MP, which I could see being the better choice for two reasons:
- In the corner, if you do air reset with j.MP > st.LK on the ground, it either crosses under or stays on the same side, depending on timing.
When you do the air reset with j.MK > st.LK, it always crosses under. - If you do air reset midscreen, j.MP > dash leaves you in range for cr.MP > cr.MP, while j.MK > dash is just out of range.
Honestly, I think MP is the better reset button.
Man this character is fun as hell. Definitely different from other characters in SFV so far.
Uploading a video in a lil while. I’ll shamelessly plug myself here, in the tech thread and in the general thread.
Because why? I like to make pointless shit and get ALL OF THE LIKES BABY.

I’m foaming at the mouth for likes, give em.
I already gave you a like. The text is to fast though, so I’m not going to like this one. I don’t like to pause during my tutorials nucka 
give me ALL THE LIKES.
It’s not in the video but you can actually punish Bisons st.lk with a delayed st.mp into another hands (too far out for ex counter) if he mashes it after this string -

Holy fuck guys, she EATS SIM ALIVE , between your V skill double jump counters and dashes you either counter his limbs or you get in really easy
Kolin actually has quite a few tooks for fireballs.
Hailstorm will cancel the incoming fireball and still drop the icicle.
Her LK Vanity Step with the follow up goes through fireballs, but it’s tricky. Her EX version is easier.
Her HK EX Vanity step is actually fully invincible right away and will easily fly over fireballs for a good punish.
Her super will go through fireballs from nearly full screen. I was very surprised by the range.
A lot of characters eat Sim up.
Don’t tell Sally, you’ll break up the family.
Awesome vid!, I think this should be in the tech thread though? Oh Froztey are you gonna sticky the different finds on the tech thread like the Alex one?
