How does Rose look weird?
How does Bison look weird?
lmao, Bison's evil grin is a weird trait? haha.
Right?
Sure there are exceptions, but since those don't fall into my own made up logic, I'm going to ignore those exceptions.

Actually, Kolin's fighting stance is a good representation of Systema according to Damascus (well known European FGC player/announcer):

Dhalsim can stretch his limbs, float, teleport, and breathe (mental) fire
Ryu's V-Trigger lets him randomly throw balls of electricity and perform electric uppercuts
Urien can throw metallic spheres and summon weird metallic/glass barriers
F.A.N.G has an endless supply of poison at his disposal
Blanka is a regular human being whose skin turned green from living in the jungle
Rashid can create cyclones
...But ice? Ice?! Capcom has some nerve ruining the sanctity of Street Fighter with that unrealistic garbage.

How could a human being possibly produce ice without machinery?! It's absurd! I demand a Street Fighter be kept pure!
Seriously though, how has a Street Fighter not had an ice character already?

Not too shabby
Art from Kolin's character story, I guess.

Can't really call it robbing if they straight up admit to a lot of designs being inspired from JoJo's and other anime/manga.
If I stole your TV and when anyone asked I said I stole it from you, does that exempt me from having stolen it? ;p
I don't think it's as many as you'd think (or as many or I would want).
- Guile = Stroheim
- Rose = Lisa Lisa
- Juri = Jolyne Kujo
- Urien, Gill, Necalli = The Pillar Men
Seems like this was not posted here yet:

Yep. Will mod that face immediately.
There's nothing wrong with it.

While I don't think anything is "wrong" with the face, I myself preferred the old one.

There was nothing wrong with the old one, in my opinion, and I prefer it as it was.

That's the best part about having the PC version. I'd mod Ken in a heartbeat if I could. His hair being a different color from his eyebrows drives me fucking crazy.

Well that is actually how it should be and has always been?
He dyes his hair. It's naturally black.
But... That's always been that way. He's not a natural blonde.

Ken's half-Japanese; he dyes his hair blonde.
That's always been the case. Ken's 3/4 Japanese with his hair dyed blonde.

A reminder for those who thought Ugly Ken was only a SF5 thing...

Absolutely, and there's a reason why that's the image of Ken people think of when he comes up.

SF3 did a lot of good things for a lot of characters.
Chun Li really became what she is today thanks to her 3S design. It's pretty clear that Capcom really loves that Chun Li, too. Every new Chun since 1999 has been based on 3S Chun, not SF2 or Alpha Chun.
They're almost totally different people:

I know that. I even mentioned that in my post.
consider this, she breaks the flow of any kind of ki around her linbs and can manipulate it. basically sucking out energy/blocking it out of a space. ergo creating cold.
lets also add the last airbender aproach and let her pull the h2o from the air. (just in mindblowing amounts)
you can make it work if you dont wanna pick to many holes. just like with the rest of these "martial arts".
I think y'all are misunderstanding my post.
I mentioned all of that stuff because people were going "but SF has always been about super powered characters" when that's only partially true (it is about superhuman feats, but in a way that's generally grounded by martial arts).
I mentioned that Kolin probably falls into category of characters that has powers that aren't necessarily achieved through their martial arts (and turns out that was true, she knows a martial art, but her ice powers aren't because she's a master of systema, it's because Gill gave them to her). But I was ONLY pointing that out (and I even pointed out that the series already has its fair share of characters like that, in particular, SF's main villains)
I did NOT (intend to) say that Kolin wasn't a real fighter because she falls into that second category. I don't even agree with MPU's initial point about Kolin (I think it's pretty obvious she's a femme fatale type character from SFV's story mode and is not some random anime magic girl).
I mentioned my dislike for her, that's for other reasons (I personally feel like she's a forced/unnecessary pick. I know that fighting butlers are a thing but I still just feels like this is another unnecessary fanservice similar ot GOuken). I don't have a problem if anyone else happens to like her.
Wow, she can do her double jump from a neutral jump. I can already tell she's gonna be a very tricky character lol
And it looks like the icicle she jumps off of could be a projectile. Would have been cool if you could do it backwards too, but that's probably asking too much.

That's weird...she actually has a lot of moves.
Yet, her character chart only gives her a 2 for "techniques".
Low 'techniques' ratings are supposed to signify characters who DON'T have a lot of moves...
Also, is Frost Touch her attack reversal? If so, it really is like Geese Howard's. High, Mid, and low variants. Predicatbo, indeed.
Isn't that stat high for characters like Akuma and Karin? They've got moves where you have to do quick double inputs, so that's probably why. More moves doesn't really mean harder to use.

Looks like one of those bad/good posture comparisons.

According to Combofiend, it means the number of moves a character has:
"Techniques refers to the number of moves a character has. If a character has a lot of manual attacks, or they have a lot of special moves then their techniques line is a bit longer than others."
https://www.eventhubs.com/news/2015...ice-can-help-you-pinpoint-your-perfect-match/
Also, the Japanese site uses "技数" for the "Techniques" stat...and "技数" literally means "number of techniques."
I dunno...maybe she changed a lot after they finished her diagram or something, lol...
what fighter didnt take from jojo
also yall discussing whats magic or whatever in the sf canon holy shit i miss these character threads lmao

It's pretty good. Y'all are blind or just have really picky taste in women that you project onto your video games.

I get that people can find her attracting and I've no problems with that. I just don't share that view.
That nose + These poppin' out eyes + Her whole face model just isn't working for me.

Don't get me wrong, I get that is accurate to his design. I just don't like it and have never liked it. It's always bugged the hell out of me, so I'd mod the living daylights out of it.
