Free Step Dodge

i'm not familiar with hayate's gameplay. what's his problem? he seems tough enough, but as i said, i don't play him...

He doesnt have enough tools to even compete with everyone else ! His mix-up is weak and even his wind dash is useless if your playing high level ! Out of the three options 2 can be low held out of or ducked and the last one is SUPER unsafe and leaves him in Back turn stance !

He is a very mid heavy character ! all you have to do is mid punch or mid kick hold all his stuff i mean... really !! I cant even play him against a good tina, lei fang, or sarah ! He is my main and im just soo frustrated really ! Its not that the character are broken, but ... they took everything from him...

He doesn't.

oh, i see...sorry

I understand they were under time constraints and everything but even with the Patch.... They gave him the raijin (-_-), some wind dash cancels (^_^), and added to his frame advantage (-_-...cause most of the are mids)

Balance is all over the place and really only like 8 out of 22 characters are even viable and 2 of them are VF characters. It's why I've pretty much just given up on the game.
