But what's this shit about him sucking? You do realize because none of you guys asked that he be patched he still has shitttons of dirt that was fixed for everyone else pre-release right? lol
I've explained this so many times.
Yes, his combos have huge damage behind them...BUT, the speed of every single one of his normals, low pokes, and specials is absolutely horrendous. Good luck trying to catch your opponent in moves they can see coming from a mile away. The only good special he has going for him is that ridiculous parry, which can deflect physical and special attacks AND give you a full combo.
The flaming bow? Slow start-up and can be ducked.
The screaming statue? Slow on start-up, even slower if enhanced.
The low-hitting slide? You CAN hold it and dash-cancel it, but with slow normals like his it won't provide for great cancel pressure. Can be easily blocked on reaction, as it also has a slow start-up.
Here's something else that's fucked up: even if you should score a jump-in punch, if you try to connect his overhead b2 after that to start a full combo, it will sometimes cut out randomly, through no fault of your own.
He DOES have a great X-ray with long reach, I'll give him that.
And don't get me started on how negative on block ALL of his moves are, LOL.
He's a joke character. 'Nuff said. Only way to be successful with him is to play online.
If it makes people feel better, Kano and maybe Sheeva are even worse than him. *hides before the players of mentioned characters can hunt him down*
I'd love to see a company take that bold step, it would be awsome IMO!
