We have now new details of the second character for Season 2 of Street Fighter V. It was mentioned that aside from Akuma, the characters will all be entirely new characters never been playable in any Street Fighter game.
And the next character to be revealed makes that true: Kolin makes her playable debut in Street Fighter V.
Kolin first appeared as the secreatary to Illuminati leader Gill, which Urien is second-in-command. Though she has appeared in Street Fighter V beforehand, as Helen in the free Story mode. She helped resurrected Nash.
In terms of gameplay, she has rekkas- similar to Karin in the current roster- but has ice-themed moves which plays prominent in her V-skill, V-triggers and Critical Art. Check out her reveal trailer, set to the pretty chill tune by notable artist and Street Fighter fan Lupe Fiasco:
Kolin will join the growing Street Fighter roster on February 28th. Expect to see more regular character rollout of the remaining Season 2 cast starting next month. And for those unhappy with the Season 2 changes, Capcom is hinting on “additional changes are in the works to bring characters in-line with how we envision them to perform”.
Let’s hope Season 2 can bring Street Fighter V back to where it should be. Kolin looks pretty nifty and probably fun to mess around with from the trailer.
