Trying him now that I have free time. I dunno how to feel about him yet. Still feel like he's prohibitively honest now that his damage has been lowered, but the fact that his pokes/anti-air are mostly untouched are something to consider.

In some super-zoney matchups I'm honestly kinda fond of the new hard knockdown on Tentacle Strike MB, because in many cases when I was getting zoned out, I wanted enough advantage to dash in safely rather than collect a combo to trident which usually didn't pull me ahead. I'll see how I feel about him after playing him a bit more.

feels like his problems are really starting to show, they really REALLLY need to fix the consistancy of the scoop d2 b3 combo if they want that to be used, currently i hardly use it, if im gonna punish i just go for 1123~bounce cancel. PLZ fix this, you take away our damage, then tell us this is our new way to get damage and its not even consistant, wtf?!
