You're basing it off the fact that these guys found him to be a "strange" character design, not the tool set he actually has at his disposal. Look at what he can do and tell me you wouldn't want a character like this in a fighting game:
-An air dash
-A divekick
-A decent projectile
-Traps for zoning/Oki setups
-A power trait that can be used as a get off me /get in dat ass move by nullifying attacks and projectiles while doing damage.
-HUGE damage
-ambiguous hitboxes on jump ins making it hard to determine cross ups.
This is just a taste man, this character is going to be really good.

+ Good jump-ins are needed for his type.
+ Superman-like trait would be useful for getting in. I can see him being zoned.
+ Divekick is an advantage.
/ We don't know how effective air dashes are yet.
/ The traps (as SRK describes) are really small and take long. But since I haven't seen a "Cyrax" related character I think Adam will be the substitute.
/ Let's hope for that huge damage. Though damage isn't everything, I see the combination with his agility and damage.
- His projectiles are somewhat useless.
