Good shit to Chris G for playing Green Arrow at Arturo's stream tonight.. I just watched his first match against Dragongod, and it is basically a demonstration of how bad GA is right now. Dragongod would block most ice arrow mixups, and he missed stuff like jump in 2-> 111 because... well it drops for no reason. + Also he dropped the 111 xx super in the corner because... well it magically doesn't connect in the left corner on many chars. Ofc, this isn't caught by the commentators who say "Oh he dropped this" "oh he dropped that", and they refuse to see that it's actually GA that is glitched and not Chris dropping. Also art keeps saying: "They nerfed b23 from +15/20 frames to +4/8 when it's from 15+ to 3+, and they keep saying it isn't a big deal, while it actually was GA's only good way to confirm in to a f2d13 block string.
Chris using GA more will show how people adapt, and hopefully expose GA's glitched combos, but who knows how long it will take before people actually choose to see it and not just say "No GA is a high tier character".
Edit: Just to clarify: When I say "demonstration of how bad GA is right now" I mean that there is a lot of stuff that is bad with him right now, and that needs to be buffed/fixed, not that he is a really bad character. I don't believe GA is low tier, but not above mid tier either.
