Which he is still supposed to counter. His sickle Rain off light parry was his main source of damage, which was the only thing that balanced him out if not made him pretty decently strong. Not op but plenty good enough. You just took his two biggest positives and threw em out. His close range moveset is awful. Simply awful. Zone gives them free attacks, drains your stamina,can’t be cancelled. Heavies are unpredictable idk when its just gonna throw out a range when I wanted a normal heavy n then I get guard broken over it, his normal heavy is too bad obvious to be useful close range. His double dodge can be guard broken off of reaction unless you use lights, which isn’t fun to spam one attack. Which is his only viable one now. If Shinobi got a full rework with this same concept he might be viable. But I doubt it. Shinobi needs a new concept rework if he’s gonna be viable now. Since you change core game mechanics without thinking of hero impacts. I’m not gonna suggest anything simply because I know it’s not gonna matter what I suggest. I’ll just receive hate for it. But he needs a kensei size rework now because of season 5. Avoid making him op like kensei now tho so I don’t feel like a ****** for playing him
