Not how I'd like the mixup to be fixed. His Jab needs the new feint-GB timing (300ms) during its whole feint window, not just the very start. Also, being hit by a light/blocking a heavy should not make the mixup more avoidable, no reason to. Currently the oponent can dodge back too fast for even the new feint-GB speed. I don't even understand why it's like this, Hitokiri doesn't have that issue - her kick feint-GB tracks on every hit/block scenario, Centurion's doesn't, it whiffs. Both heavies are same speed, cause the same block reaction, both lights are the same. But hers is functioning correctly.
Either way, Eagle's Fury being buffed and leaving it like that is just giving a tool to compensate for a broken mechanic. It's universally better to fix it.
I've been away from this game for almost a year and just jumped back on. Highlander is decent at best now. The better your character can fight against the natural mechanics of this game the better. I don't even need to look at the tier list to know that black prior and hitokiri are S tier. It only took me a day of dueling to figure that out.
