He was fine in season 3, they did a bunch of buffs in exchange for taking away his karas, everyone bitched, they put the karas back and didn't revert anything

They buffed his HP when it already was one of the highest in the game

Hammerfall Break got armor for no reason, making it more difficult to challenge Hammerfall in general.
Potemkin Buster got armor, same deal. This makes Kara Pot Buster a lunging, armored grab with huge return on hit. This also makes stagger pressure even more dangerous against him.

If you block 2S midscreen, he can now do Blue Wild Assault and be +13 in your face, with no throw protection to cover you against his mix. The only counter is a throw or a reversal, it frametraps and catches backdashes/jumps
If he does the same from 5H, you can't throw it, backdashing doesn't make it punishable.

He zones like crazy, his buttons are huge and can lead into point blank HKD, Slidehead is +10 on block and has longer lasting armor, Flick works on almost anything including all of Asuka's spells, his sweep, and HC's gunshot

They also made 5K active for an entire fucking 14 frames for whatever reason, because the poor baby could be vulnerable to low-profiles if he did the move too early
