His hurtbox is smaller than what it looks like so the ship hasn’t sailed on that one yet. He might also be able to punish those jumpback normals on hit, maybe. Never know but it’s hard to imagine capcom doing that to him in streetfighter. If it were marvel that would be a totally different story.
I’ve warmed up more to him after processing the initial reaction. He does look like he’s fun to play to be honest. Credit due where it’s due; kolin and ed are interesting and very original. If the trend continues then it can’t be a bad thing. I remember hugo in USFIV being lots of fun to use. Everyone called him trash tier until kubo picked him up and made proceeded to obliterate bonchan. I’m looking forward to seeing what high level abi play looks like.
