Its actually kinda hard to say.. hes unsafe and lost most of his good GBs, considering Busa was good - top tier in every other game though I can see why some would struggle
he in this game is a pure momentum machine . ur opponent needs to give u an opening to start ur stuff . his main strengths is his high damage and good technical guarantees which he gets in his combos, he has faster and more tracking options than hayate but his neutral is very weak and his range options are susceptible to crushes or unsafe and there's only 1 ong transition in which he's actually neutral .
thnx @VAND1TA , he's my most used character and my temporary main so yes, i know my way with him . but i get robbed with him night and day playing online lol .
