Same thing with Naotora. I don't think even free cancelling will help her much, outside of critical stuns. I'm guessing her kicks will put her down in the negative frames on block if she free cancels, and she probably won't have much delay.
It was kinda the same for Rachel except Rachel was mostly safe and had tons of mid punchs But soon people learned how to bait those holds and punish so im sure it wont be too hard for people too use her My only fear would be Bayman/Leifang and Maybe marie rose

No gameplay other than the stream? I thought she was released on arcade, I assumed people would've posted something by now.

Just because a character is unsafe does not mean it can be potentially super bad. Certain characters (Leon, Pai etc.) have moves that can jail even on block. Leon's 66PP, Pai's 3KP. Pai's 3KP for example, you cannot hold the 2nd hit after blocking the first hit. Naotora can possibly have strings similar to that to where you are forced to respect it or conditioning you to expect too much allowing her to free cancel certain moves. Free canceling can lead to many reasons such as how fast the recovery of the move is. You have characters in the roster that can toss a -10 move but the recovery is about 17 in speed which can throw people off in reaction or make them whiff for them trying to throw, yet it is unsafe.

This is just an assumption and she probably won't have such a thing, but there has to be some use or positive gimmick to these moves even if they are unsafe or negative GBs. It's hard to tell from the video and we have to actually sitdown and go every detail of her movelist.

I didn't say it was bad, that could just be her main difficulty. Like Kasumi is super unsafe, but she's not a bad character. You just have to play her mindfully and carefully, Naotora will essentially be like that if her moves leave her in the negative.
