This is the NRS classic. They always start with buff / debuff's being unusable, and then patch them up into usability. Guess they are just being cautious. Saw the same thing with Ferra / Torr Pain and Gain.
I absolutely agree! YOU SUCK! GET THE HELL OUT OF MY THRONE ROOM!
Good to note @karaokelove I plan on using him as my main for competitive matches and I am memorizing all of his frame data now and yes, you are right his frames seem pretty good and solid across the board for the most part at least from what I’ve memorized so far such as his Standing 1 which is plus 3 on block which from what I’ve seen in other NRS games doesn’t happen very often a standing 1 is normally plus 2 or plus 1 on block if it’s plus at all. Correct me if I’m wrong @karaokelove that’s just been my experience with the characters I play.
For some reason when you do this grab after block or after wake up it seems to do it backwards even if you press forward. I´ve done it in practice mode 1/15 times more or less. It´s bugged
I never had that issue, I can consistently do a forward throw as a reversal or as a getup.
I've only been able to land it as a reversal punish, but I'm on PC which doesn't have the latest patches. Just doing it as a getup or reversal or even a getup punish doesn't trigger it.

This is actually the answer. It has to be a reversal punish, and it'll trigger.
Actually @NothingPersonal yes, you do actually get benefits from them otherwise. I’m not sure if your aware but if you can setup the taunt properly I’m pretty sure you at least get 2 buffs from his two separate taunts 1 of them being you do 10% more damage with all of his hammer based attacks. I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure that’s one of his buffs from the taunt or maybe i’m mistaken and it’s the move where he has his dark priest assist out not 100% sureI equiped taunts just to taunt at the finish him screen. No need for them otherwise
I just sent you a friend request on PSN @karaokelove if your free and able to play matches and party up and hit the online lab or what not for a few hours.
Only f3 starter is mid hitting (and b2 I think?), and 2nd hits of f2 and s2 strings. I've been experiencing a lot of low profiling, poke outs and uppercuts in close range - so yeah I agree with you, it's frustrating but in close range all your normal stuff seems to be free for a d2.
That's probably my biggest problem is I'm treating him like a rush down character and use them more as a space control
Yeah so did I at the beginning. One thing I found useful is whiffing the s2 in mid range and following up with the low second hit, its range and low property takes alot of people by surprise.
Space control is the thing. He probably isn't gonna be anything other than mid tier in the end but he isn't awful. Everything he wants to do is safe(unless you are a dummy with shoulder charges), certain strings can punish you for trying to take your turn too quickly, like 12 1+3, where it gives you enough of a gap to attack but not enough of a gap for any attack to succeed so you can just 1,2 hitconfirm and every now and then on block do 1+3 and catch someone trying to hit a button on you cause its "their turn"
