He has lower overal damage, but new stuff is found so he can still get 6k combos from midscreen corner carry. New gattlings A,B 2A, 2B. New Kishu is great, you can cancel it with any attack, counter, throw and barrier block (I think). He is maybe a little bit harder to play but overall, more fun
New game plan is to zone until he gets enough stars, than he should get more offensive and/or punish with hard hitting combos.
He has dropped from A/B to B/C tier i think.
