Any early impression on him yet?
im playing him rn so heres some things i think you should know
AS OF RIGHT NOW (could change with a day 1 patch)
f3 is 28 frames now so everyone can react to it
lanterns might range is nerfed, its about half a step more than b1 range and thats it
to combo after b3 j3 you have to walk forward a bit for 223 to not whiff
his damage output is pretty much the same as IGAU and he still is very meter dependant
his backdash is still useless
overcharged lantern (lantern special that he places on screen) is -8 but if you do a blockstring into it they can poke out like rocket power in IGAU MB is -4
his normals are all exactly the same, nothing new or changed
willpower wall is -14 but mb is -1
basically you cant do a blockstring into a special without being punishable unless you spend a bar which is terrible imo
trait doesnt let you combo off of anything unless you spend a bar, lanterns might how it was in IGAU with trait.
he basically has to spend a bar for everything, to get in, to be safe, to do damage and his damage is still bad, he has no mixups. imo he's worse than he was in IGAU and you al know how i felt about him in that game, i just dont understand why he was nerfed so much when he was already low mid tier. sure he has a better forward dash now and can sort of counterzone but he still gets zoned out so his issue wasnt fixed. idk you guys will see for yourself soon but i wouldnt advise using him competitively unless he gets buffed.
if i spelled anything wrong or made an error its 5 am and i havent slept
ouch that sucks to hear is it really that bad I planned on him being my 3rd character after my Black Adam and firestorm?
