SFV: Kolin Reveal Trailer

I'll also echo the opinion that her win pose doesn't feel befitting of the character. It's about time Capcom started adding new win poses, taunts and intros for that extra polish and character customisation.
I've said it before, but I'd gladly drop FM (or even up to a buck and change of real money) to buy new win poses ala Overwatch highlight intros. And I reckon it'd be pretty cost-effective for Capcom to whip up too.


EDIT: Intros & mid-match winposes I'm less anxious for, as most people just skip them, myself included.
 
Do you need to buy season 2 to play this character?

You can buy any character separately for FM or Cash.

The Pass gets you the Characters, their Premium Costume (Not Story Costume) and their Colors. Not their Stage, either. Assuming Kolin has a Stage like Akuma did.
 
Interested. Rekka inputs? I have missed them coming from a Fei Long main in SFIV (and Karin being well different in this) so I'm keen to try her out.

Her floaty ice hit looks hella annoying though.
 
Please don't touch Sim anymore. He's great, but not so great that tier chasers go after him. It's perfect like this tbh.
 
I am not sure if people caught on that but:



From Capcom blog.

So we should be hearing about the third character next month, then the 4th in april, 5th in june and the last in august. March, May, July with possible additions of content.

And maybe a revision of S2 balancing in march ? Quite huge news.
Every other month would mean 3rd in april, 4th in june, 5th august and 6th in october.
 
Ugh, so its like a unique baby name that's spelled slightly differently.

Well I mean she's from Russia, and Latinization of Cyrillic names often end up being slightly different because of the different letters. That's why you might see Nikolai or Nicolaj, although it's the same name.
The same goes the other way around. The Cyrillic spelling of "Coleen" would end up looking like "Kolin" (if latinized back). It's not a Russian name, but it would get put into Cyrillic, and if it were to be put back, it likely would look like "Kolin".

Not that I think Capcom really was going through this process, but it makes sense regardless.
 
Would it kill Capcom to do lip sync for English voices? Seriously, so distracting... even Ubisoft had this back in Prince of Persia days... I find even the Japanese voices to be just random lip-flapping. I know it's a fighter and not the priority, but still would be nice.
 
SFV still looking a whole generation behind Tekken 7.

The art styles of SF5 and T7 have absolutely nothing to do with each other, so comparing them like that isn't very informative.

Tekken has been going with the detailed "realistic anime" approach for decades. SF5 is much more cartoony, exaggerated, and expressive...almost 'clay-like'. That's intentional.

It's okay for different games to be different.
 
After that Crush Counter against Urien, does she juggle with her sweep? That's pretty cool.

Considering Kolin has "Ice" powers, I wouldn't be surprised if another character this season has "Fire" powers.
Who could that be, though? Would have to be tied to the Illuminati.

Yeah I feel like it would kill them. They're so broke, something like this would overextend their resources and lead to the studio's closure

This is poverty Street Fighter.
 
Another blonde lady allergic to pants.

Capcom's vagina stiputlations aside, I do enjoy seeing new designs, animations, and fighting styles that bring out the creativity of the current development team rather than re-using the ideas from devs who are no longer involved in the series.
 
dhalsim already uses fire tho

Dhalsim's fire isn't actually real fire. It's an illusion.

SF Wiki said:
Dhalsim's fire is actually an illusion that he manipulates with the help of the god Agni.[5] In the UDON comics, the flames won't hurt a person if they believe that they won't be burned; he proves it via engulfing Adon in flames, and as he recoils and notices he's not getting burned, taking advantage of Adon's confusion to knock him out.

DIdn't he get some much needed buffs in Season 2?

He did, but I honestly don't know if he can keep up with the half the cast, still. Don't get me wrong, he's better than S1, but it through balance all over the place on some of his other fights. The Urien match is crazy hard because they buffed him a bunch, Cammy is impossible, Laura is still almost impossible. I don't know if the updated tools he has keeps up with some of the things that were buffed on other characters.

Character who is an old npc from the 90s with ice powers with "giefs stance" is the pinnacle of creativity tru
 
Also I didn't watch the trailer entirely, stopped it after her Ultra. :P

How is Rose "fireball, drill and dash" more interesting than this ice based character? Crazy talk

I remember people saying Rose was a boring character in SFA, the cycle never ends. Character is boring and not as awesome as previous characters until the next iteration, when they're in demand and the "new" new characters are boring and not as awesome.

Her name is supposed to be pronounced that way, Karin is not Karen. Karin is an actual Japanese first name. So is Karen, but Japanese Karen is Ka-Ren and not Kare-N.

Wouldn't it more accurately be pronounced "ka-deen" ?
Rose's Ultra 2 alone is more interesting than anything this game has tbh

Double triggered. That was the least interesting/inspired anything ever.

And maybe a revision of S2 balancing in march ? Quite huge news.

What happened to once a year?
 
Her old face probably isn't properly rigged hence the necessary changes.

To the people complaining about her clothes/win pose: just be thankful that she doesn't strip down to a thong like both her bosses do.
Not that there's anything wrong with that; if it's okay for Urien and Gill to do that, it should be okay for her, too.
 
The character looks interesting and fun to play, but that reveal was awful :(.

I'd rather they left out real life music and just used the character's theme. Seeing the Shazam logo and the name of a tune pop up just made me feel sick inside.
 
Eh... in some ways they improved her face, made her actually look more like Kolin I think, but she still looks off a bit? I don't understand how Capcom keeps making these faces that look good/great from some angles and really weird/ugly from other angles.

I don't expect to latch onto her gameplay, but like every other character I'll give her a shot and see what she's got.

Lord knows I like sexy ladies, but would it kill you to have a little more variety in your designs?
But if they're doing it to sell costumes then maybe having unsexy ladies would kill them, lol...
 
Man, all these SF V designs are either boring as hell, overly slutty or plain ugly.

Fight style looks okay though.
Guilty Gear has been kicking street fighter's ass this go around in the character design and art department imo. Ironically I've gone from being an ASW fanboy to spending most of my fighting game time on SFV thanks to crossplay and rollback netcode.
Seriously, my first thought was "what's wrong with her face?" It's almost Netherrealm tier.
wow

We've officially reached maximum hyperbole.
 
This is the first character I've seen in this game who I'd want to play as. The only thing I'm not too sure about is the ice power, but why not, I guess.
