Shortly before Street Fighter V’s second Season Two character Kolin was released into the wild, Chris Bratt and Wesley Yin-Poole sat down with Capcom UK Community Manager Matt Edwards at the London offices to get some new gameplay footage of “The Phantasam of Snow and Ice.”

They note that she’s the first character in Street Fighter V to have a true counter-special: her Frost Touch, which allows her to punish an attack’s active frames, whereas Ryu and Zangief’s V-Skills allow them to punish recovery frames. However, she has different versions for high, mid, and low attacks, making her one of the more technical characters on the roster. Though, if you are successful, you are rewarded with a hard knockdown off all versions.  They also spend some time discussing her unique ability to freeze opponent’s Stun Gauges with her V-Trigger, and also compare her Hailstorm mixups to Akuma’s usage of his air fireballs.

In summation they feel that, “Overall, she’s a technical character. Relies heavily on setups, mixups and resets. She’s got decent damage potential, but not a huge amount. For a female character, she’s got a good amount of health. I expect she’ll end up with some really flashy combos that will look really great in competitive matches. I doubt she’s going to be as popular as the likes of Akuma, but in the right hands, she could be a lot of fun.”
