Just watching the bikinis trailer again and I noticed that Hitomi have a new punch that cause a sit down stun, hopefully, it guaranteed a CB after it.
What Hitomi Need To Become Stronger On DOA5U

They showed it in Tag. Don't count on it.
Why can't we have a sitdown that's at least +19? Her fastest mid-launcher is 9K which is a slow 17 frames that doesn't even launch of NH.

Hopefully she will have a bound move that is faster, that could compensate for her slow launcher.

We now know that she has a new string as confirmed by the dev match TN uploaded today. (and a totally cute/awesome tiger rawr taunt)
However, the input and whether it's safe or not is unknown atm.

Can't wait to try this out tomorrow.

Yeah, that sucks.
But wait, there's more :
They nerfed her 46K : It's now very unsafe (-8 on block) compared to DOA5 (-5). And it's still stance dependant, so I guess it's safe to say the move just got even more useless.
So far the only buff I saw is her 33H+P got a damage boost : 62 (DOA5) 68 (DOA5U).
About the new moves :
214P is pretty cool. Mid punch i18 that causes a sitdown stun of at least +18. It garantees her CB if the opponent doesn't slow escape perfectly. It's unsafe, though (-10 on block).
The second move of the 214KP string is semi safe (-6) on block, causes a stun of at least +20 on Counter Hit.

Eh, if 46p gets blocked you're using it wrong.

I won't be able to test this out very soon myself on even Vanilla, but doesn't 46k / SSk cause a slight pushback? I mean it can't be throw punished then even at -8, if I'm right.

In case anyone didn't know, Hitomi is available for a limited time on the F2P version. Here's some more changes:
-The last hit of 4PPP doesn't GB anymore when you charge it, now it's just -3.
-4KK now give this re-float(?) property when used after a launch so now she has a way to get more damaging combos. The best I found was Post-CB 33P, 4KK, PP4PPP.
- SSK has been changed. Now whenever you SSK, her 6K comes out instead. =/
One more thing I discovered is that although her FT game has been unfortunately nerfed, I found out that if you 1K at the maximum stun threshold or Post-CB, it'll give a knockdown that lasts long enough for you to do two options based on how the opponent reacts: If they just stay down or wake up kick, you'll get a free 3H+K which FT's them, and if they decide to tech after 1K, you'll still be able to either throw them or interrupt their attack since they're still recovering from the tech... Which is better than nothing.
Okay, that's about it so far. I hope to find some more stuff soon.

SSk is the 6k kick? That's BS. Okay, I've been ok with her other nerfs, but TN seems to like to destroy options for guaranteed damage left and right. Hitomi isn't necessarily nerfed overall (214p for the win) but why take away the reward for succeeding in landing an extremely hard-to-connect slow high kick, that needs the right stance to be useful?!

Yeah, man. I feel exactly the same way. I mean, as much as I'll miss her FT's, the SSK nerf is definitely the biggest one for me. Now she hardly has anything guaranteed now... Ugh, now I have to rely on the horrendous 46K and hope I'm in the right stance for 4H+K to connect... Y u do dis, TN?
