The name could also reference the Colossus of Rhodes, a gigantic statue of the Greek Helios, and one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

Gameplay
The Colossus's normal ground combo starts with a one-handed upward diagonal slash and ends with a powerful, two-handed downward slash. The combo can be activated after the first upward slash, and consists of another one-handed upward slash, followed by a leap and a powerful, two-handed downwards slam.

The Colossus's aerial combo consists of a two-handed upward slash followed by a powerful, two-handed downward slam.
