EU TekkenGAF stream

Got together with the NeoGAF guys and played a bunch of Tekken.

Surprised at how well i did with Raven. A lot better than even with Alisa and Lili. Perhaps i should focus on that character and make everyone else secondary.

New SFV character: Kolin

As everybody predicted, Street Fighter V's new character is the Russian ice lady from story mode. Her toolset looks pretty interested so I'll definitely at least try her out. So far I've not found a character in SF5 that really agrees with me, perhaps this time it will work out.

From the trailer, she has:

- Her v-reversal is a roll that goes through the opponent. Follows up with a throw, not sure if canned or a normal one.
- lp mp hp looks like a target combo, much like Ibuki's.
- EX punchy special is special cancellable or something. One time she goes into EX snowballs, and another she does this backtwirl special and then jump cancels it? This all seems pretty unusual. The EX version of the twirl into dash goes through fireballs too. Definitely some moves to investigate thoroughly, they seem complicated.
- She seems to have some fun counters. I think it's her v-skill, if hit with something while it comes out it goes into canned throw animations.
- She has an air special move that makes her double jump.
- She has some kind of ice projectile that comes from above, mostly seems strong for okizeme.

Pretty hard to determine her gameplan from this information. She obviously has some mobility tools to help her get around zoning. When inside, she presumably does the whole frametrap/throw game because.. that's how SF5 is. On defense and while playing footsies, she adds counters to the usual proceedings to discourage folks from throwing things out. Might be able to juke out of things with her mobility tools too.

Pretty unusual toolset. Interested to see how it works out.
