So, I think Kollector sucks. Not just fundamentally but like, this character has no sense of real direction. I think the move with him is to make him exactly like Scarecrow. Bad movement, long normals and hits like a truck, but he needs quite a bit of fine tuning to accomplish this. So this is what I would do.
131 - Decrease recovery from 40 to 25, giving him a meterless launcher. He'd only be able to get f3~shotel rush off of this.
b122 - Allow this string to come out on whiff to give him better zoning potential.
21+3 - Make special cancelable. This shit is completely useless after the KB is spent.
32 KB - Change this to a kounter hit/punish KB. How tf is Kollector supposed to get you to duck block this?
f3213 - Make f3 not special cancelable anymore, make this special cancelable after the third hit (the f321 point), require the player to dial it out completely to special cancel it and make it come out on block. Gives him a more powerful footsie tool but doesn't make it braindead.
There's my hot takes.
What's your opinions? I don't even play this character, but I'd like to see him be more usable and more of his toolset be usable just for engagement and fun factor.
