welp... my "line of thinking" was....
if they ever buff this character to become more viable, he would have, what both, Quan and Predator dont... an EX armored Launcher (Predator has it, but is really bad).... so, you have to give up something to receive, then, get rid of the armored moves (or at least the armored launcher), but make his zoning good, but ofc, he would need his strings to be buffed too.... in this case, he would still have his "get off of me" (EX Spirit Charge) move !!!
this is just theoretically, cuz, if they just buff the character, but then, he keeps his armored launcher, and armored push, that would make him broken, so, in theory, what is the best option, Quan/Predator zoning, without the armored moves, or, just slight improvements (like they did before) on his specials, but, leaving his strings the way they are now ?!
