The stream got a lot better when kbrad jumped on the mic, I had it muted most of the night.

edit: kbrad saved the stream for me

My internet screwed the pooch last night but what were the impressions on Kolin? I saw that Floe didn't like her normals.

[Spider-Dan]

I stayed up to watch Daigo/Champ and that was a damn snoozefest.

Daigo vs FChamp will never truly be "entertaining," because the outcome is a foregone conclusion: Daigo is going to get his teeth kicked in. This has consistently been the case for the last, what, 7 years?

As FChamp put it on stream after the match: "Daigo is the greatest of all time, but it just happens that he's my baby mama. And it don't matter if I get married many times, that's always gonna be my baby mama."

jwong and li joe's tweets about her:

Spoiler: show

Personally from watching her, my main takeaway is her movement seems godlike and her vtrigger worries me. People saying she seems like decapre are right, from what I watched. Oh and her counter does a billion damage so I'm never going to use jumpins on her.

Most people who follow SFV stuff have probably already seen it:

ToolAssisted made a mod that unlocks framerate during loading screens which makes it load faster, because the game doesn't actually load anything for the majority of that period. It doesn't improve loading times online, since you still have to wait on the other player, but maybe it works if both players have it.

[Lokus]

That shit works so damn good. A shame that it'll do nothing for PS4 players or online play but it'll at least make going back into training room after a match way less annoying.

I wouldn't be surprised if PC players started setting their matchmaking to PC onry.

If they increased the recovery by 2f he would be a better balanced character.

That hit box is fucking stupid though.

The sheer laziness Capcom keeps displaying for this game is incredible. It couldn't take more then a few minutes to fix her eyelash clipping (even if only on the character select screen), yet here we are.

[Odesseiron]

b...but maybe it's eyeliner!

[Cjskater]

thats her 3rd eyelid, the illuminati really are lizard people...

[Damane]

Kolin looks ugly. The face... not as bad as ken, but nearly that bad and her movement looks stiff on the select sreen. Like she has something stick up her ass.

Also I dont see her being that powerfull, gees she really has some of the worst buttons ever as pokes lol

[Moridam]

what's the consensus on her so far? is the OTG gimmick worth anything at all, or do the bad buttons preclue any chance of being viable

also saw a few people commenting on twitter earlier, apparently there's still a S1 reversion bug in the game, lol.

you better capitalize on the hits you get in. She has meaty setups, but her pokes are like ugh, they can have range but they are so slow. and if you whiff Sweep its good night mister lol (you can basicly jump on her and get a full combo). That shit needs like ages to recover. Well you cant have high mobility and a double jump like her and still have good buttons. Her combos can be damaging but she really has a hard time against rush down unless you wanna risk setting out a counter and eat full combos. Also the times you get hundred ice hands out (or how its called) is insane, especially the LP> MP > HP many times instead of follwoing up with her projectile i get hundred ice hands... They should remove this piano/button pressing nonsense, getting lightning legs/ice hands even tho you didnt want to really ruins your game.

She seems solid but nothing gamebreaking like urien or guile. If she had good pokes she would be up there tough.

[Callisto]

Her buttons are stubby as shit, unless you're buffering something like s.mp EX hands you can't convert shit off a hit unless you land a point blank hit or a jumpin. Her setups off EX hands are very solid but from everything else back tech fucks her shit up because even if you land a meaty cr.mp or s.mp they're too far to confirm pretty often.

She does have some tools that shit on a large portion of the strongest moves in the game but someone with good buttons like Urien can just out-poke her to death unless she makes a good read on a counter.

She's solid mid, maybe upper-mid if the player is some sort of savant with counters.

[Spider-Dan]

Are her counters active (or at least invulnerable to correct choice) on frame 1? If so then you know why her buttons are trash: she effectively has a meterless "invincible" DP that doesn't leave the ground.

In a normal 2D fighter, counters aren't that amazing because DPs effectively do the same thing but don't require H/M/L guesswork. In this game, that's not the case.

[Callisto]

Only the EX ones are, normal ones are frame 2. Against a lot of characters it's probably totally viable you use M counter in neutral as a way in, but there's still stuff like Urien S.HP where if you guess wrong you're in CH state and he lands the CC and you lose, lol.

[Spider-Dan]

Right, but that's basically the same risk/reward as umeshoryu, which no one else can do without meter (and umeshoryu is easier to CC punish on reaction).

So basically, her counters are "invincible" 1 frame earlier than a DP. Not terrible, but not great either. Is EX counter L+M/L+H/M+H for different levels?
