"Overhead Slash is faster and has less miss and Recovery" LIE.
"Tele-Flurry has less Recovery and is faster" LIE, intelligence insulting double lie in fact, that deserves to stop reading your post.
" Overhead slash also has more hit advantage and now on EX can launch and also grants follow up now" LIE.
"Push is basically safe anywhere and EX push is positive on block, and grants follow up and launches almost full screen!" LIE.
"yeah he lost armor, but its a universal nerf to armor launchers. get over it and realize that part is not a nerf because everyone lost it. all characters lost its Defense and Offense from Launching armors. not only Kenshi." LIE, find why just below your avatar image.
I could continue, and mention all those buffs like +1 on block exteleflurry that you naively overestimate, but I will summarize in these terms:
I have seen, through all the game's life, a long list of Kenshi prophets (I'm not going to give names) saying "the character is good", "the character is better after this patch", "the character is underrated, you all downplay", etc, etc, etc, many of them expressing themselves in similar terms like you, with misguiding information and straight up lies, backing their statemens with 0 real experience, just theory crafting. What in the end happens, is that all of them disappear in the shadows having proved nothing and realizing the truth, Kenshi remains being trash (now more than ever), and we lose time.
Just consider, only for a moment, that if people using this character for 18 months (including the only player that has had tournament success with this piece of shit that Balanced is) all agree in saying that Balanced is not only bad, but WORSE in this patch, maybe, ONLY maybe, we have a point and know what we are talking about.
