List her flaws please.

She certainly isn't one of the upper characters but I doubt she's anywhere near the bottom. Bladez play her from time to time and he doesn't think she's at the bottom. Would like to say that she's better than Raidou, Brad, Honoka, Naotora (outside of match up differences) and plays a better zone material than average cast members.

But yeah, she may or may not be the same character. Might see some new moves or moves that Bankotsubo had in previous iterations.

Her stun game is strong, has movement, tracking, and can maintain pressure if she gets the oki. It's starting the offense with her that can be problematic. Brad Wong has the same case but way worse, and once he knocks you down he really can't maintain pressure. His neutral is reset which is the worst spot to be with brad wong.

I've fought bladez's nyo a couple times, hell I recently fought Emann' s nyo, and yeah they make the character look good but i attribute that to those dudes being godlike moreso than nyo being not shit. And I'm not saying this out of spite, I luv nyotengu, shes my favorite doa5 character by far and my go to when shit gets serious cause she's the one character im most comfortable with

But am i gonna let my admiration of her make me think she's good? Hell no, I think compared to the rest of the cast she's mad garbo, but she can get the job done (even the worst doa5 characters are not that bad, thanks to doa5 being well balanced). But Her up close game abysmal, her mid range game is situational, and her full screen game is kinda gimmicky

My biggest fear is none of this will get addressed in 6 and she'll just have some new string enders, maybe a few more bankotsubo moves and that'll be her lot, when lack of options has never been her problem, lack of solid options is her problem, but if you want characters with more solid options you can play literraly any1 else in the cast (except for an obvious few)

All that said, I'll still play her in 6, will I devote as much time to her as I did in 5? If she sucks then hell no, hard secondary at best, but if they give her sum decent buttons or better frames then it'll be 6 more years of tengu. Guess we'll wait for March to find out
