Колин выходит на Каток! The Character Discussion Thread

Loves it

Can someone explain to me what’s happening here? I get that Bobby was scared to VR the hail but why did he feel the need the panic DP twice? Seems like a lack of MU knowledge rather than a sick play on Dukes part.

First counter is a good read on v-reversal. After that i think Booby was expecting cr.MK or move forward from Duke, to continue pressure and he tried to EX.Dp that. But was read by Duke and countered. Then maybe Bobby was thinking that no way Duke is gona expect second EX.Dp after failed first one and did it again. But Duke read it again. I don’t think it was a particularly good play on bobby’s part. But Duke definitely made good reads - there is zero point in doing Counter raw after Hail in that setup.
And it’s also fun to see 3 consecutive Counters. =)

Not gonna lie, I kind of popped an E-sports boner.
Also, her Japanese VA is perfect for that clip. (hee hee)

lol. funny. i’m so childish.

when a character gets hit by a v trigger, and they have frost on em for an extended period…what does that mean? is it just a visual/aesthetic thing or does it actually have an affect on their status? lower defense? easier to stun?

In that state stun never lessens. Until Kolin is hit and frozen state releases

ER…what do i do against mika throw loops in the corner?
just backdash? cuz no special move seems to work.

She doesn’t have throw-invincible moves except for Critical Art. So you either have to take the throws or risk a backdash, jump or tech, which I think aren’t worth the risk. It’s the worst situation you can find yourself in as Kolin (not only against Mika). Your focus should be trying to get out, not trying to beat the throws IMO. So either look for a V-Reversal opportunity or find a spot when you can double jump out.

Double Jump is basically the best option against grappler vortex

So damn satisfying to watch!

He’s on point with the counters but I guess he always was good at reading when people were going to press a button or not (remember all those supposedly ‘random’ DPs with Seth).

I’m also quite glad he doesn’t hit confirm st.HP either. If Poongko doesn’t do it I can stop feeling bad about myself not being able to.

It’s hard indeed. I train it every time i sit to play but still can’t apply in a match too. That said it seems that Majorboy is confirming it pretty consistently. At least it fells like that from watching his replays. I still have hope. =)

So are all you niggas dropping Kolin for the new buffed up twink?

I’m welcoming ed but i’m going to keep working on kolin at the sametime.

Probably not, Kolin’s the most fun I’ve had with the game when I picked her up, and still is.

I think she’s the most rewarding character to play from a ‘‘player Vs. player’’ point of view.
She almost feels like a grappler in terms of decision making, which is probably why the transition from Mika/Alex to Kolin went pretty smoothly, but her options are less risky and more varied.

Also, mittens.

I’m definitely sticking to her. The only dissatisfaction I have with her is slim representation in tournament play. But I think it will change and we already have poongko.
By the way have somebody checked out Korean ranked tournament this weekend? Spring or something like that.
Poongko have to play. But I’m unable to watch.

And yes, mittens! And yshanka!

I dont even play Kolin like that but is there any reason why they made parabellum a mash input?
