UPDATE: They posted her move-list
Details on the newest fighter to join the SFV roster are here (http://www.capcom-unity.com/harrisony/blog/2017/02/09/the-phantasm-of-snow-and-ice-kolin-joins-street-fighter-v), and much to no one's surprise it's Kolin, née Helen, ally of Urien, resurrector of Nash, and secret agent of the Illuminati under Lord Gill. She combines a form of Russian martial arts with ice powers to rush down her opponents with a flexible variable rekka style.
A few observations:
- Her V-Skill seems to be a forward attack that has autocounter properties during its startup frames. The actual attack is probably very unsafe, making it potentially the most risky one of these sorts of V-Skills. That said, her V-Trigger is very snazzy so the temptation will be there to build the extra meter and get potentially 2 Trigger activations in a single round.
- Her V-Reversal seems to automatically throw, which makes me curious if she has a throw whiff animation depending on range.
- She has a backstep that has multiple followups, including a lunging stab, a slide, and an airgrab.
- Her EX specials seem to have additional cancel properties. She cancels her EX hands special into an EX ice ball and a regular backstep. Also she seems to be able to chain cancel her slide into a normal off of an EX backstep.
- I bet her footsies are very bad. Most of her normals look stubby.
Also announced is a second balance pass, with more details coming in March. Hopefully they will be able to get it out in time for Final Round (and fix FANG please oh my god).
