I hear his Sword Flip special will be safe after the day-1 patch. Based on that information, it makes since to end all (or most) of his up-close strings with Sword Flip to make them safe. It's a good move with an amazing hitbox, and could be the Kano Upball of Injustice. It also shuts down aerial strategies, such as Black Adam's dominating footdive game.
Other than that, I imagine he's just going to have to do his best to keep out rushdown characters with his amazing zoning.
