Wow, she can do her double jump from a neutral jump. I can already tell she's gonna be a very tricky character lol

Name make it sound like the Icicle she jump on does damage, that would be ridiculous during neutral double jump!

 

[LincolnTunnel]

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...

Is it possible that it's being skewed because of how much comes out of Vanity Step? Like, if they count all permutations of Vanity Step as one move, and all versions of Frost Touch as one move, she only has like three specials and three command normals which isn't really that much.

What? That's the correct pronunciation of Rashid. It's like some of you have never seen the letter I be used for an "ee" sound.

Again, like "Kah-reen" for Karin, "Ra-sheed" is the correct pronunciation for Rashid.

No it's not. I'm not speaking as a linguist, I'm speaking as a gulf Arab just like Rashid (who has a great grandfather and a nephew called Rashid).
This is a transliteration problem. Normally راشد (R A SH D) would be transliterated as Rashid or Rashed, while رشيد (R SH E D) is transliterated as Rasheed. Similarly Majid/Majeed and Hamid/Hameed, they are very common forms for Arabic names (add an a for female versions).

I understand that this isn't necessarily the case outside of the middle east but Rashid is from here. I'm not gonna tell Shakira that she should write her name as Shakeera since people might confuse شكيرة for شاكرة.

 

[Sesha]

So now we have characters with ice, electricity, fire and wind powers. Now we just need characters with earth and water powers. Maybe lava and metal too.

Again, like "Kah-reen" for Karin, "Ra-sheed" is the correct pronunciation for Rashid.

Karin is pronounced "Kah-rin" though, with a short I.

 

[TLZ]

That's pronounced like "colon" right?

Sounds more like Coleen.

Weird, I think my folks knew someone by the name Rashid in Eritrea & pronounced his name the way it was in SFV (they were speaking Tigrinya, so there may have been a slight pronunciation difference).

 

[Harmondale]

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.

This!

As a newcomer to SF series, yeah SFV was my first entry, and Im not surprised at all about "ice".

So much Else going on with special Powers for Most of the characters...

Anyways I dont Care about the game did not click for me, but interesting to follow the development and drama sorrounding it..

 

[Rymuth]

It's...always been that way though?

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.

My life has been a lie

Look at his eyebrows.

Again it's transliteration, there is no right or wrong. I've seen at least 5 different transliterations of my name ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

And then there was this, the different ways Muammar Gaddafi's name was written:

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:

Alpha Chun is probably the best though

 

[mnz]

Well it's 3D, but I really like MvC3 Chun.

I've seen a few places mentioning more balances coming with the Kolin patch. Any official word or is this all bullshit?

 

[lucebuce12]

I've seen a few places mentioning more balances coming with the Kolin patch. Any official word or is this all bullshit?

There is a balance update coming but not in February.

As previously mentioned, we have been analyzing player performance since the Season 2 balance changes. At this time, we can confirm additional changes are in the works to bring characters in-line with how we envision them to perform. We can’t share all of the details quite yet, but we are anticipating an announcement early March.

The amount of things people want to nitpick and trash talk about this game constantly amazes me. Kolin looks pretty rad, looking forward to her release.

Quite phenomenal imo. Just one upmanship of how can chat the most plop, pretend that they're going to play another game and then just troll on r/kappa

Hmmmm, that's pretty cool. I was hoping for something, but didn't think it would come considering the Pro Tour and all.

The thing is that there's not a standardized way to transliterate Arabic into English, and there are plenty of people out there who are named "Rasheed" who spell it Rashid. You can't say Capcom is wrong here.

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

People just want the anime waifu face that is plain. Her face is definitely more distinctive looking which is a good thing.

I'm excited.

Oh yes. Can't wait.

Also, her Frost Touch special move is confirmed to be a counter.

Hmm...so, her freeze property after landing her V-trigger last until she gets hit...

Give Zangief greenhand please.......

Give Zangief greenhand please.......

If they listen to the Japanese pros then Zangief might get nerfed lol

Everyone notice how many white blondes this game has brother

Cammy and Kolin.

 

[MoxManiac]

Do you guys think they'll actually put Gill in at some point?

 

[Ryce]

Do you guys think they'll actually put Gill in at some point?

No, I honestly don't think so.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

Do you guys think they'll actually put Gill in at some point?

Gotta keep him for SFVI.

 

[mnz]

Do you guys think they'll actually put Gill in at some point?

He's not popular and has the fighting game boss syndrome of having too many moves, he would be another Seth. He'll definitely be part of another story expansion, if we get one.

 

[Neoxon]

Gotta keep him for SFVI.

But that's not for another 6 or so years.

Anyway, you guys think that they'll swap Kolin's old model in Story Mode for her playable model?

 

[Ryce]

Doesn't he have the same amount of moves as Urien?

Anyway, you guys think that they'll swap Kolin's old model in Story Mode for her playable model?

Unlikely, since the story cutscenes in her trailer use the old model.

 

[Diprosalic]

He's not popular and has the fighting game boss syndrome of having too many moves, he would be another Seth. He'll definitely be part of another story expansion, if we get one.

Seth was awesome though. Can we have seth back?

 

[MrCarter]

But that's not for another 6 or so years.

Anyway, you guys think that they'll swap Kolin's old model in Story Mode for her playable model?

I don't think it's worth the effort to be honest with you. Her role in the cinematic story would still be the same, even with her newly modelled face.

 

[QisTopTier]

He's not popular and has the fighting game boss syndrome of having too many moves, he would be another Seth. He'll definitely be part of another story expansion, if we get one.

Uh him and Urien literally share the same move set with super minor changes

 

[Diprosalic]

Uh him and Urien literally share the same move set with super minor changes

As someone who hasn't played sf3..

Why do we need him then?

 

[mnz]

Doesn't he have the same amount of moves as Urien?

Uh him and Urien literally share the same move set with super minor changes

Well, then I misremembered, it's been a while.

 

[Moaradin]

If Gill ever became a real character, they would definitely give him a new moveset.

 

[Ryce]

This is super minor, but I like that the emblem on Kolin's hat was changed to resemble a snowflake to fit her ice theme.

 

[QisTopTier]

As someone who hasn't played sf3..

Why do we need him then?

It SFV he would probably be a vega type character but with elemental swaping, then he would most likely have debuffs or buffs based on what he did in fire or ice mode

It's weird that they changed her face so drastically.

 

[Akainu]

Dear god, this face..

It's weird that they changed her face so drastically.

I really like the final model tho.
