We know that won't happen, his AC moveset is too good (particularly the shadow moves). In all honestly they've done a lot to nerf him already, I can't see what else they can feasibly do without completely changing his image, which they said they don't want to do.
I'm all for Eddie getting toned down because he's incredibly strong, but we know the history of GG games regarding that guy. Slash Eddie just looked like a boring, watery Reload Eddie anyhoo, if they're going to nerf him to shit, at least allow him to retain his amazing fun-ness.
