Gill-"All FEMALE OFFICER'S SHOULD WEAR TINY MINI SKIRTS!!!"
I understood that reference
based
omg that was amazing
Colonel Gill Mustang
That image was my first discord profile picture because I thought it was the peak of comedy
Can't Capcom just say that she's Russian? She has a Russian accent & practices a Russian martial art. It took Capcom almost 2 years before they directly tied Rashid to the UAE.
I think they kept her nationality secret due to the idea of a Russian hating soldiers would be a bit....controversial...
As a Russian, I believe her design is OK. I mean her zettai ryouki. Sometimes I see some crazy girls wearing mini-skirts, exposing their hips, on street at winter. It's not so rare.
P.S. Her design is so Russian.
That means capcom always do their reserch.
welp guess who’s moving to Russia... jk
OK, but it doesn't mean that she's Russian.
@@shizukagozen777 she does systema, a Russian martial art
Привет, Земляк, как тебе последний сезон DLC?
This video made me like Kolin waaaaaaaay more.
"I'm A.B.I., and ICE-omehow made it through this entire video without making a single ice pun."
So close.
That's brilliant. It actually hurts *worse* when it has to be pointed out. 0.0
I always felt like ice users/cryomancers were fairly common in fighting games, as in one per series. They're not littered on the roster, but you can usually find one in every fighting game series that has multiple games, excluding a few key ones like Dead or Alive.
Yes, while fire seems most common, ice doesn't seem horribly rare when compared to other elements. Is ice, for example, really less common that water or earth? Mortal Kombat, Darkstalkers, and Killer Instinct all had ice characters in their first titles. Samurai Shodown added an ice character in its third game. That's off the top of my head.
Smash Bros had Ice Climbers in the second game and actually had two users with the addition of Lucas in Brawl (both able to freeze you) but the latest game (excluding Smash Switch) had no ice users at launch without items or custom moves.
Lucas did come back as DLC though.
It is definitely "common" but not in the sense that you'd expect to see 4 or 5 users of it in a roster.
MrTopTenList
I was just thinking about DOA. lol
Although as SugarPunch pointed out, they are rare in Street Fighter.
BainesMkII also Ice Climbers in Smash
Wow. I learnt a new appreciation for Kolin's design. And those sample Systema footage looks amazing. I'd never seen anything like that before. Thank you for this continuing series of videos.
Don't wanna disappoint you, but Sistema is fake.
Kadochnikov (martial art) System. A feature of the system* in the pronounced emphasis on physics, anatomy, physiology, etc., Respectively, the system of training is individual for each person, because of physical, anatomical and physiological parameters and possibilities at all different. Appeared as an applied system of martial arts for special forces, has now turned into something questionable, the chance to meet a master who can teach, tend to zero. In addition, it was created as a system of advanced training for already owning any kind of martial arts people in good physical shape."
@@KuroNoTenno Apologies for the late reply, but the footage shows a guy just lazily swiping other people till they fall down. What in the hell even is that?
@@carlosuzaier5858 This is actually the "master" and his "students". Sistema and other contactless martial arts (read: fake fighting styles) actually involve psychological conditioning from the "teacher". This includes physical and psychological abuse.
As soon as such "master" gets to fight ANY OTHER martial artist, he always gets his ass handed to him.
@@KuroNoTenno I see. Not much different from what was exposed by that Chinese MMA guy whose name I cant remember. He challenged so called masters of martial arts and mopped the floor with them. Thanks for the reply bro
SYSTEMA is her fighting style!!! I didn't know that at all! Blew my mind and all the sample footage to compare to made me like her even more than before. Obvious defining *ahem* "ASSETS" to her aesthetic design aside. I loved Kolin's addition to SFV because of how blown away I was when they revealed that she was Gill's "secretary" from SF3 the whole time! I had my suspicions, but they did well to reserve her involvement in the plot by keeping her on the wayside and away from any fighting. The reveal also made me happy to know that she was not forgotten and that they had wanted her to be playable from the beginning, plus the addition of her secretary outfit as a playable costume was the icing on the cake and the other battle outfit was the strawberries on top. Overall, I agree, her demeanor, her loyalty to Gill, her ASSthethiccs, costumes, deep role in the main story, fighting style and ice powers, easily made her one of my most favorite SF characters of all time.
Usually I don't look towards SF to accurately portray fighting styles but damn. Capcom seemed to have put actual effort into Kolin and Systema. Also her theme is super underrated.
Ever noticed how in fighting games, if there's ever a full-fledged slavic character, they only come from Russia? :v
or denmark.
since when is denmark slavic my dude
Or Romania if they are a vampire
Thought you typed scandanavian for some reason, yeah, slavic countries don't get much rep...
And if they're Latino they're either from Mexico or Brazil.
7:45 IS NO ONE GONNA TALK ABOUT HOW CLEAN THE TRANSITION WAS!?
This seems to be the most complete design analysis of a character I've ever seen. Great work all around, from the color palete to the fighting style , great job.
this is awesome, really insightful. most kolin players view her as a sort of 'counter-poker', as in that she has a great toolset of moves to use in reaction to what the opponent does, and counter. never realized it was core to her design in this way
I like Kolin, and Menat. I'd also like to play Ibuki and dang Chun Li has the best body.
Kolin, Menat and Akuma are easily my favorites season 2 characters......Zeku is okay. I can't wait to hear you talk about Ed and....cof, VROOM, VROOM....cof.....Abigail XD.
Yes! Finally
Can't wait for you to hear what are your thoughts on Menat
LOL! Best waifu ever.
Kolin's absolute territory game is on fleek!
I mean, just... DEM THIGHS!!!
Also, if you want miniskirts in cold weather, look up Japanese girls in the winter. It makes no sense at all.
I fell in love with her since the trailer... counter someone online feels great, they start to fear attack you and let you do everything you want (Back walk for
taunting xD)
Glad to see this series again... fear for the Abigail video xD
Good video man. Your videos made me understand a lot more about the importance of a character's design and fighting game's animation. It's always great to see a new analysis on your channel because I can learn in more depth about a character that I could have ignored in the past. I'll be waiting for your next ABItorial, bye.
Man, nice of you for giving credit to Genzoman for that illustration in the background. Thanks for the video.
AND that's WHY i LOVE Ice powers💙💙
You deserve a lot more views and subs
Kolin is one of the better new characters in 5, mainly because actual thought and joy was put into her over all. But I can't get over her weird accent and how the other characters she's with can't seem to see through her. Speaking of which, I always wondered how Karin not only knows so much of what is happening, but can remain stupidly calm in certain situations? It's almost as if she should have been the villain instead of Bison.
I cant wait to see your Zeku and Abigail ones
Coming from someone actually from an eastern european country - wearing a mini during winter is not a thing that is unheard of. Some people do that.
Her default costume is not bad, but for me the best outfit she's ever gotten was her "Story" outfit. And wow, I never knew about systema, looks pretty interesting.
Also, do you plan on doing Akuma in the future?
Akuma is pretty solid. His H Tatsu and VTrigger DP are particularly very satisfying to land. My main gripe with him is the animation for his Shun Goku Satsu, though honestly it's all stylistic. I actually prefer the one in the teaser trailer for Akuma where all you saw was the red flash of his eye moving about. It was all mysterious and shit.
Still better than SFIV's iteration of Raging Demon though, where Akuma grabs the opponent and then stops the whole game for 3 seconds just to yell something, when characteristically he used to be a character of few words. Compare that to the old games where it was just grab, lights out, death. No dramatic cutscenes or anything, and the speed at which it happens capitalizes just how deadly the move is. But again, that's all choreo and theming, not animations.
@@ddranimestyle I wouldn't say that's a character trait of his
glad to see you moving on to the new season 2 characters from SFV
Why do people keep saying she is his secretary? She's his right (well frosty left actually) hand.
Using Kula Diamond's theme from KOF 2K as the backing track for this video was an excellent choice.
It gives off the feeling of an emotionless, ice-cold assassin. It's a motif that doesn't really fit Kula anymore, yet works perfectly for Kolin.
I see that you used the Kula's theme from the "king of fighters 2000". ice theme Easter egg.
You played "Ice Palace" but no mention of Kula Diamond??
Bad!! Great video though.
Your videos are always great ABI. Will you start doing Guilty Gear or Blazblue character designs' videos?
Love this series
This guy does the best design breakdowns I've ever seen.
That transition into the endcard was snappy!
Found out about your channel a few weeks ago and I'm really liking it so far. I'm really interested in the gaming industry, more specifically character designs, and I really like your reading on things, and that helps me to look into things that at first I thought were not really that important!
Thanks for the content, and keep up the good work, man!
I really enjoy these videos man great job!
Kolin is pretty fun in my opinion, but I'm still having trouble learning how to play correctly as her. I love her design tho
As far as I know there isn’t much more to say apart from what you’ve covered. I looked into systema when she came out and was thoroughly impressed by the unconventional incorporation of a counter based martial art and cryomancy. I do main her so I have a bias but she is very much one of my favourite newcomers just behind Falke
Hey ABItorial I just wanna let you know you're doing an incredible job and I've learned a lot from you. Keep it up I look forward to every upload
Kolin's definitely one of my favorites in SFV just looks-wise. She's pretty in an unconventional way - You don't get a lot of that nose in FGs, and thigh gap aside it's all in her shapes. Combined with that simple color scheme and the really good hair for once, it's hard not to like her. It's nice to get a bit more Illuminati in that roster too. I feel like we started with the best, here, though there are some strong contenders when it comes to animation later on. As grotesque as Abigail's physique is, dude moves hilariously, and both Zeku and Menat are some solid opponents for that animation throne.
You got any thoughts on Kolin's influences? I feel like she's got a lot of Matael from Galaxy Express 999 in her, and although that could just be a coincidence, I could totally see the designers going back to old shows/manga to ground new characters in to keep that old SF look going(and keep up the tradition of cribbing from manga). Zeku too has this strong retro vibe to him, though I can't point to any specific designs he's ripping off.
Anyway, nice video. I'm glad we're doing these SFV designs again. I never knew their take on systema was this accurate.
It may sound weird but I think part of her character is inspired by Ayn Rand. (Such as her obvious flight from a Communist catastrophe and the way she feels surrounded by conspiracy and incompetence, her mistrust of power structures other than hers etc.) It also sounds like she's had a hard life and has made being frequently misunderstood work to her advantage rather than having it crush her. (another parallel to the refugee author.) Also, ask anyone who has studied Ms. Rand or Objectivism and they will tell you that no one is more deserving of the term "Ice Queen" who, if she were to take direction from anyone, they'd better have legit *God* like powers and would have to give her some first. Finally, her disdain for her fellow man is the stuff of legend and there were few she wouldn't treat as if they were beneath her and worthy only to be used as tools. It would be oddly deep if they metaphorically did that with a Fighting Game character but also really freakin' cool!
@@mikejonesnoreally Though that IS just a theory, I find it hilarious how they (crapcom) can have so many layers to their character designs, and yet completely drop the ball when telling a good story.
You're absolutely right, that *is* just a crazy theory of mine, but it fits *soooo* well. Just like my theory that Capcom came up with Abigail while listening to Queens "I'm in love with my car." If you play Abigail while listening to poor Roger's underrated Opus, you suddenly realize that you have found the perfect "time" to play Abigail in. 4/8. A bit of a waltz with a *very sudden* staccato! My theory becomes even more apparent when you recall that Kolin can't *really* hurt you until you attack her. Just like Ms. Rand! I feel the story is one part of a videogame that I am most forgiving with, because they are so hard to write well. When approached to write the Movie, they even approached a *comedic* writer because that *was* Capcom's approach. Lean in to your own absurdity. While I love it, I get that the story has come from *many* sources some of which (the kids cartoon) I simply pretend don't exist, others that even some may not know of (the "stable" storyline from the tabletop RPG) however, many of us have written into our own "head cannon." Then again, I speak of Objectivity, but have to admit that my own view is Subjective and *only* my opinion. How much my own opinion? I think that the SFV story was genius, enjoyed it thoroughly, and am *really* looking forward to seeing what happens with Karin and Rashid in the future. I feel like SF2V (the animated series) tried to share with us slices of life from differing cultures and share some spiritual insights about martial arts, all while using the *best* tour guide! Ms. Chun-Li! Really though it's completely valid to say that I love these stories because I have a confirmation bias the size of a Trump logo when it comes to these games! xD I mean if you ask *me* (an' no one really does) I would say the best video game story ever written was either Teen Titans or Aeon Flux, depending on just *how* existential you wanna' get! If we're talking Civics, then it's definitely Invisible War, the game that *honestly* introduced *most* of us to transhumanism. I find story in games, Mc_Zittrer is like the story in comics, it's not obvious, but it is about 80% subversive and usually if done by a clever writer, they have put something there for you to at least take from it. So, thanks to them really! :D
Tasting a character like a somelier does with a glass of wine... This is excellent by concept. I wish there were more interesting channels like this on youtube. Well done.
I'm impressed with your video since I didn't care for Kolin's original look but you made me see a deeper appreciation of it. Well done.
Kolin is my main!
I love this series, cannot wait til you get to Menat as she is amazing and would like to hear what you think of her designwise! Keep it up. 😜
Nice video! I'll wait for the Zeku review.
This is one of my favourite channels
Helenic nose for a character name Helen.
Her alias was Helen, but yeah.
Super interesting look at Kolin, man.
Can't wait to see what you have to say about my boi, Abigail, cuz I've got a rant of a comment I'm going to leave on that video!
Great stuff as always.
"ice is not a common element in fighting games"
sub zero: "am I a joke to you?"
How many other fighting game characters use ice though?
@@wingedbluj1674 Kula Diamond
Jin kisaragi, dizzy, frost, glacius.
KoF2k Kula's theme? Classy!
As for Kolin I found myself struggling to tell apart all the pretty blondies in SFV when they aren't using their default costumes. So to me subjectively she did kinda blend in with Karin and Cammy.
oh wow, I cant wait to see you review Falke and her Flaking stiff animations :)
(IMO her animations fit her personality tho)
Cool that you put KoF's Kula theme in the background
Can't wait till you get to Zeku, but somehow I feel like you're about to tear Ed to shreds lmaooo
Can't wait to see more
Nice Analysis, I like Kolin and it's cool having a Parry character in the game
I love these videos!
Been looking forward to this continuation for a long time. Can't disagree here, I thought Kolin's overall design and animation was quite good. Can't wait till you get to Menat.
Ah yes, good to see your take on my SF5 main. Glad to see she passed your scrutiny.
Can’t wait to see your opinion on Zeku
Pls do SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy when it comes out
I just find out about you and wow a great critique of Kolin I hope you do a review on Abigail.
Kolin grew on me a lot the more I practiced her, she's cool(pun not intended).
You have a digi valentine vibe but thats not a bad thing. You did a great job. I want to main that girl
Enosh Starcrod I don't feel that vibe at all, he is much more analytic
Next Oh yea I get that outta him. Im not saying hes not on the same level but similar just a bit more experienced with condensing info in a short video. I commend ABI for being good at being analytical
Who Dat? It's Kolin. Couldn't resist, lol. He and ABI are both pretty cool. No pun intended with the current subject, lol.
Nice video!
A entire video without making any ice puns, you are so cool.
She wouldn't mind passing a shot of vodka with Zangief in the bar
I like Colin. I like her design and I enjoy playing her. She's one letter short of my name, so it was weird thinking SF had a female fighter named "Collin" (male), which probably caught my attention more than anything.
Overall, yeah, they did pretty well with Kolin. What better style for a manipulator than one that's all about tricking the enemy into going exactly where you want them to and making them do exactly what you want them to? She's definitely pretty cool!
And yes, that was a pun. XD
Great video, saw the A & B typo in it.
Interesting representation of systema. Looks very police-ish.
Finally another one of these
I'm not a fan of her appearance, but I absolutely fell in love with her animations. Something so satisfying about that ice fissure kick thing from her V-Trigger.
The ice fissure might be good to look at, but sadly its not her most viable V trigger :(
Micro Bihon it's good, but her VT2 is GREAT.
Finally another design shop
Kolin reminds me a LOT of Katya Kazanova from Archer. Put her in all white and add either green or red eyes and that’s Katya. That with her ice powers makes me like her.
This is a great series! Kolin is still my favorite new character so far. She's a very welcome change from the shoto clones.
I'm surprised you didn't have any footage showing how her ice ball animations and functions share many commonalities with Rimururu's from Samurai Shodown.
Also, is it just me or does Kolin look like Tina Yothers from Family Ties? ❄
0:04 Man Kolin's theme is perfection.
Cool Video
Commenting for support!
Dude moooore i want more i need more Love you ;D
5:01 Gotta love Hit
Now I want to learn systema.
this comment was a while ago, but if you still haven't, don't. it's mostly bullshit, and held in _very_ poor regard in the martial arts community.
@@Just.Kidding yeah I’ve heard lol, there’s no classes for it near me anyway
wow i love these kind of videos!. can you do soulcalibur characters?
cool as ice
Kolin definitely stay in the SF series. I thought I would not like her but then I played her and she is a lot of fun to play!
She's my S2 favorite, hands-down.
the life action dude was super cool
I'm glad we agree on how they approached Kolin's normals. Less elegant and graceful, but more blunt and powerful. Sort of tired of the former especially since Falke seems to revolve around that to the point of looking delicate.
do you have one of these talking about alex backward legs? or the weird guile shoulders when you whiff a grab?
You’re killing me, A.B.I. Please give Skullgirls some love!
cool
That footage on 4:06 is bullxit, by the way, just like Sistema (and all "contactless" fighting styles by extention) in general.
Can’t wait till Abigail
lol I can't wait for you to get to Abigail
Ice- Dio's Bird says hi.
Sub can freeze with a projectile without having to spend the meter in MK X, but cannot in Injustice 2. This is a pure act of balancing a character to fit the game mechanics and roster.
Imho, If Kolin had an instafreeze in SF V, that would be kinda OP.
I agree she is interesting in many ways, but I never managed to see SF3 characters as something that fit in the same game as the other characters. I really never managed to see the whole Gill thing working with the rest of what we know about the series, even visually.
But, one thing about characters changing when they first appeared in Story and after as playable, there was Tanya case in MK X. They changed her skin and eyes, and I think a bit of her face too, but I'm not sure. It was pretty weird to see her in Story mode as she was before her debut in the real game. And for ice characters, we had Frost in MK, we also had Cyber Sub-Zero, so yeah, MK sure likes their cold characters. I think there were some to Samurai Shodown too. And, we should not forget DC's Killer Frost and Captain Cold, hahah!
Probably not gonna happen, but it would be cool if you could make an episode about Eternal Champions one day.
Personally it would be cool to see an Episode on Rapier Users comparing RWBY's Weiss Schnee and Persona's Mitsuru Kujo. One of them accuratly represents fencing while the other one doesn't
Mitsuru: i.pinimg.com/originals/bd/12/88/bd12888ec1548ef0af7e5d6f87ba9f22.gif, Weiss: clips-media-assets.twitch.tv/163396684-preview.jpg
Black is focking awesome
FREEZE!

There are your ice puns.
