The new "Street Fighter 5" Kolin character certainly looks interesting, and she has the background and technique to back it up. "Street Fighter 5" is not exactly the first time Kolin was introduced in the series.
As a matter of fact, Kolin first appeared in the "Street Fighter" series years ago. The old-school version of Kolin first appeared on "Street Fighter 3" as a supporting character for "Street Fighter 3's" major villain Gill.
However, back then Kolin only served as an aesthetic element to Gil's character as she only stood alongside Gill. The "Street Fighter 5" Kolin, on the other hand, is a full-blown character capable of dishing out major damage with long combos.
Kolin is a very quick character, and Gill has imbued her with ice powers. She utilizes these ice powers together with her combos to string up damaging attacks in succession.
According to Polygon, the "Street Fighter 5" Kolin character pack is part of the Season 2 Character Pass, which costs $29.99 per set. Aside from the ice-powered Kolin, this set also includes four other characters that are yet to be announced.
It looks like the "Street Fighter 5" Kolin also comes with a special surprise up her sleeve. According to PVPLive, Kolin comes to the "Street Fighter 5" character roster with a huge advantage.
Kolin enjoys the benefits of 1000 points of health and a huge bump in her range statistics. The source also mentioned that Kolin's recent buffs also with a price.
The new "Street Fighter 5" Kolin will now have both her mobility and power pulled down a bit. "Street Fighter" fans have met these changes with mixed and inconsistent results.
Some players see the potential of Kolin as being a very competitive character. While other players think that Kolin is a broken mess of a character stat-wise.
