I think the nerf was extremely fair, but do think he was overrated because of the infinite. Don't get me wrong he's really good. But I'm having some trouble with his lack of range with his strings/normals. Top 10 for sure, but tops, eh I'm not sure.
Well, no one could do the infinite, that's the problem. People who kept trying messed up once or twice and got hit just because they weren't defending, at least from what I've seen on stream. Also, what happened when I did a set last night with my Catwoman buddy, she just kinda looked at me hopping around and yolo catdashed. Sad thing is it worked.
As for strings, his pressure game is still pretty swanky, I did a few sets with a Joker, and I could get in for free sometimes by armoring through his gun and stuff with my zipline, then he wouldn't have time to anti-air, giving me time for a bit up close. Also, his dash is so good, he just needs that in from midscreen to close-up safely.
I think that'll happen for sure once people get his complicated inputty stuff down to second nature, and start really watching the opponent rather than themselves, with all those tools at the ready. I've seen a few, myself included, who aren't there yet.
He'll be S again soon, no buffs needed.
