I didn't think a character like the Centurion would make it off the ground because he dates to the Roman Empire to 107 BC and is fighting samurai, knights and Vikings. However, he is pretty cool. As for the people complaining about him, he just came out. I suspect some for his stats will be tweaked in the future (since when has a new character been perfect from day one in any game) but for now, no one is used to them. So give it a rest, try to get the timing down. practice. You can always dodge or get the timing right. He doesn't have a lot of combos and you can predict a kick or when a charge up heavy is coming.
