I'm learning to play his stun game mostly, cooping with his loss of pickups. A bad guess usually means a sitdown into guaranteed combo or hi-counter throw for most of my opponents. I will say this; if his pickup game and FTs came back from DOA5 1.03a, I'd put him in A tier, easily.
same here!! i agree with your assessment completely. i'm having a hard time with BT T losing its OH status, and his FT/pickup game being wrecked. but i LOVE 3P+K,K. 7P, P+K is deceptively uselful so far, and 44P, which i thought was useless, is actually great, especially for dealing with that bitch rachel!!
Agreeed. I love 44P man. Most don't see it coming if you throw it out when they rush you down. I messed with this combo in Training. Try it: (while crouching)3P+K, 4K, 3K, 214P, 41236 T. Even works on Super Heavyweight class! (e.g. Rachel)
