I understand he's easier to play, but pretty much any character can be considered "OP" if used in a cheap manner. For example, I can't stand playing against certain Momiji and Ayane players because they abuse frame advantage moves to win
Pretty much what @My Babenapes said, that's one thing i love about DOA, none of the characters are weak if they're played correctly, its just that Gen can be fall under the label of "one button" character.
Yea but when you fight someone in ranked, you don't know what kind of tactics they are going to use. So by the 3rd round, you know how to beat them, but it's easier said than done :/
Let's not bring ranked into the equation, and that kind of damage can be attributed to any HCH throw in the game lol, doesn't using side steps wreck him? lol
An interesting thing is that 3PP is easy as hell to hold, even if it gets delayed. There's only one follow-up after 3P so you know what to look out for: 3P~free cancel or 3PP. GenFu is one of those characters where he only seems OP if you don't know how to fight him. On the otherhand he's derpy as hell on lower skill levels lol and a massive troll character.
I know how to fight him. It's just that the people who use Gen Fu are immensly strong themselves. It can really be pain in the ass to fight a highly skilled Gen Fu.
