Yeah, which is sad, since I love his rb2 version, I don't know why I got the feeling that he will be at least a treat, at least in RB2 my main key with him is his hishoken combined with his zaeiken
The thing that I don't like of his normal version is that in 98, his air dive attack doesn't had a knockdown low kick like in 2002, there are only an overhead and a normal combo that isn't worthy.
But since now both andys had better normals, and if the hishoken is a good pressure move now, I could see him being better
But well, first I had to play the game, and first, wish that somehow will be released here in america
BTW, I hope that there are more unnanounced changes, there are lots of characters that deserve some buffs, like orochi shermie, lucky, shingo, kasumi, ex billy or chin and some others that now I forget
