Free Step Dodge

Those stuns. If she hits you you more or less have to hold correctly or eat a shitload of damage.

I feel like, you can use her for almost any playstyle. That's scary.

Yes that's true although she wont be as effective because most of her moves are mid punch.

Christie is pretty much the most well-rounded character in the game.

^^this. Well rounded. Tough to beat in the right hands, but not overpowered imo.

There pretty much isn't much reason to play someone else from a competitive standpoint.

This is why I hope they don't hit her with the nerf bat too hard. The only thing I can see that's fucked up about her is her cartoonishly deep stuns where I can get you into lvl. 2-3 stun launch and carry you to a corner where I can do all sorts of sadistic shit to you. Make it so that you can slow escape her more often and she wont seem so powerful.

The Japanese don't find GenFu, Ayane or Christie particularly strong so I think our mains are fine lol. Kokoro on the other hand...

lol I cant wait until the japanese champ gets here and gets bodied at TFC. I'm quite pissed that I cant go.

The western arrogant mentality alone might get you fucked up. Judging a player based off character? Didn't an Eliot win SJ7?

Xcal doesn't exactly use Eliot anymore so that is kinda irrelevant now. Only "Top Tier" characters have been winning US majors (apart from MASTER's DID win, though Hayabusa isn't exactly low tier in 5U).
