Kolin, the phantasm of snow and ice, is the next character to join Street Fighter V as part of the Season 2 Character Pass.
Excelling in the Russian martial art of Systema, Kolin (rhymes with ‘Jolene’ because why the hell not) gives her opponents the cold shoulder by using their momentum against them to execute various slash-like attacks and knife hand strikes.
Having been bestowed with the power of ice from Sub-Zero, her fight style is augmented with frigid blasts and deadly icicles that can freeze the heart of even the most hot-blooded street fighter. Plus, she will never need to ask for ice while out!
No idea about her backstory but her stage calls back memories from Zangief’s stage from Street Fighter 2, so there’s probably some connection there. At least I hope!
Kolin looks fun even if her ice stuff sort of feels a bit removed from the Street Fighter universe. Then again that pretty much went out the window a long time ago.
Kolin joins the fight on the 28th February.
