The Street Fighter V Lounge: Kolin is COLD HEARTEEEEEEEEED!

[Plaid_Unicorn]

Du is the best player on the planet. If there was any doubt in your mind you can stop that shit right now, you’re wrong.

Du got bodied in the last US tournament of 2016. Dominican Republic > Du.

Just because he always faces Xiaohai in tournaments, who clearly found in Du his demon, doesn’t mean he is the best.

Right… so the sheer dominance at both the US finals and capcom cup have no bearing. He not only bodies Xiaohai free… he bodies pretty much everyone he faces. He used Nash in that tourney come on, dude hasn’t used nash in about 6 months in competitive play.

But since you want to play that game, who is better if not Du? Offer me an alternative so we can debate or stfu

Another day, another character crisis.

Starting to think about dropping Ken again. Was thinking about my matches last night and realizing more and more what I have mentioned in the past…Ken is basically the polar opposite of what I’m looking for in a character. I think the reason I thought he was for me was more a case of the players I was fighting…Ken is really good at beating people who have bad defense and who make bad decisions. He’ll punish you HARD for that kind of stuff, and I think is one of the best in the game at doing that next to Bison (though Ken is far better at anti-airing). But once better players are in the mix who don’t make a lot of bad decisions, I end up playing my style of being extremely passive and defensive, which is far from Ken’s strong suit.

So I think I’ll just go Guile full-time…but I’d still like to have a secondary or pocket character. Hopefully the Season 2 newcomers give me something.

In the meantime though maybe I’ll try Juri and Zangief for fun. :razz:

Where are these Helen rumors coming from?

There are multiple images of the first silhouette. It matches Helen’s appearance in story mode.

No no, he didn’t use only Nash. Against both players he tried everything but couldn’t beat them. His Guile and Mika were both defeated. Against CMPunkdagod he used Mika first, then switched to Guile and still lost.
Against MenarD, he started with Nash, but also switched to Guile and lost.

He is very strong no doubt. But not the best imo.

It’s clearly her silhouette in the pictures unless it’s another lady wearing an Ushanka.

So Bison then? :whistle:

Show me receipts or…

MenarD played really sick. Best Birdie atm imo.

The Russian girl judgement girl from 3S can no longer wants to be a background character in a beach stage.

I don’t feel strong playing Nash anymore. Switching to Buksters was a great decision.

Unless something changes in season 3 I’m a Ibuki and Laura player. Just the feeling of having walk speed with Ibuki is a breath of fresh air.

People who don’t play Nash have no idea how dry they made him. Like they nerfed all his best anti airs, left him with shit walk speed, v reversal is shit now, made some of his close buttons push back farther then expect us to rushdown…

Like fuck this just gonna play cheap hot girls. It’s more fun when you feel powerful.

[TWINBLADES]

I like never see Nash in rank anymore.

[QuixoticNeutral]

What if its all just a massive troll from Capcom. After all if they are going to add Helen wouldn’t it make more sense for her to appear as her true identity, Kolin. :how_interesting:

Y’all will be soooooooooo upset if they put her in and that alone is priceless.

Du is the best tournament player.

However ability to win tournaments isnt the same thing as player skill.

Tournament is a race to 3 or however many wins. Get to that total before the other guy. Get a quick read on the other player and avoid getting read.

You can have more ability as a player and lose to someone with a better tournament strategy.

His character selection helps out a lot for getting by different character and player match ups, but i dont consider him the best at either character.
