They've been on a crusade against counters since CT, lol. Looks like they're not going to give up til the D button is disabled.
Oh well, at this point after the big CT > CS1 changes I'll play him even if they replace his character with an anvil with a sword on top named "HAKUMEN."
That Tsubaki slide was pretty awesome though. When they first did it I thought it was dumb, but it ended up making Tsubaki good all around.
Without airdash j.2A his entire combo style will have to be thrown out. He'll have something totally new.
