I think shes one of the most fun characters in the game. She's the 2nd of my two core members, Kid buu being the other. I think she's reasonably strong too. Nothing outlandish, she's not A.Gohan or Goku Black, but she can do solid damage by herself and her double move-steal combos are nice.
She has a lot of room to grow too and depending on what characters you get your moves from, she can do some really mean shit. She gets a kame that's one of the best of its kind in the game, or a fucking reality stone that can do A LOT of work for her - there is no fighting game on the planet where a slow moving, tracking projectile is not a very good thing. The great thing though is she stands up well by herself, you dont need to steal moves to put in work with her. Her regular move set does quite well.
She's poke-y with good range. Her cr.l is a nice, spammable low with good range. He cr.m is awesome as you can do 3M's to throw out fast lows about 3/4 screen, and use her S to confirm into some damage. Her standing buttons are solid, she's got a great j.H. Surprisingly decent grounded projectile tied to her attack buttons (not her S) and her S itself has an element of evasion and movement due to how she throws it, in addition to covering good screen space. Her knee slam type move is nice too - any move that can carry you and the opponent back down to the ground together is a nice thing to have around.
Her Supers are decent. Nothing like, S+ tier or anything, but quite good. The angle and space covered by the lv1 is nice.
Her assist isn't amazing though. It absolutely has its uses and can be used to set up some crossup pressure, or re-enforce block pressure, but using it to cover unsafe moves or extend combos isnt easy due to the timing. I absolutely think it can do those things, but its going to take time to work out just when and how best to use it for those purposes.
I'm running her, most likely, as a mid and possibly point. Mid seems like a solid spot for her as she doesnt need a ton of meter and you get her out early and often enough to try to pick up the high priority moves if the opponent is running characters that have them. Some of the moves she can steal seem largely pointless.. but its early and I could be wrong (the flare thing and the command grab as examples)
Obviously it's WAY too early to call tier lists or anything like that, but as the game stands, compared to other characters I think she's solid and as tech with her comes out and we learn to use her assist better and make optimal use of stolen moves, she's going to become even stronger. We dont see her much because (and no offense meant to anyone here running these characters, I run some of them myself) most of the population of the game is too busy running Goku Black, A.Gohan (Im seeing him EVERYWHERE now) and Vegeta to fit her in.. with a health sprinkling of 18, Kid Buu and Cell lol.
