Same here. I don't think he's that bad I mean hes slow but he has quite a few ways to get grabs off of people like he is supposed to. 7K seems like its a good crush as well. I'm gonna have to mess around with his stance moves sometime. For now im working on Hitomi and Ayane.
He's full of bullshit but that doesn't stop me from using him. He's still my favorite character bar none. You have to work for your wins, especially if you want to look flashy doing it. But I like a challenge anyway.
