IMO he has top 5 buttons in the game (st.HK is maybe THE best non-Overpower button in the game, he has a long range fast medium, and he now has a +2 on block normal). Tier lists are subjective but this is my current opinion (subject to change of course). It’s really the S tiers which I feel are a cut above, then Sadira/Shago/Kan at the bottom (but not really that bad), and then “everyone else” somewhere around S-/A+. -Orchid is the weakest among the S- Tier -Aria, Mira, Omen and Rash are top 4, in that order IMO -Eyedol is the strongest among the S- tier Yes but why the S- and A- etc, instead of just A, B, C etc?
