Ken is unpunishable as mika or something. He grabbed me out of a wake ex shooting peach, even though my animation started. Then he did that jumping whirlwind move into shoryuken even though I blocked the whirlwind move and tried to grab him
Ex shooting peach seems to have no throw invincibility, actually, its kind of funny that Mika is free to throws on wakeup as a grappler, her command throws can even be beaten out on wakeup.
Unless Laura or another new character sways me their way, I'm aboard team Mika, which I did not expect all. Really dig her play style, moves, and how a few good choices = a lot of damage and stun.
As for the other new characters, new ken is fun, not really me but I like how he is. Necalli has some good stuff, hits like a truck, just feels off to me, but I am playing on pad instead of a stick at the moment. Lots of Karin's right now, I figure once people start really learning her normal and specials(or get the frame data) she wont be as threatening. Vega is really good, and his new stuff/changes are great. I feel Rashid is being slept on right now, granted its only the beta, but he feels pretty strong, lot of options as well.
I'm taking notes on Mika, moves, combos, setups, other good/fun/gimmicky things as well. I'll post it when I'm done, or in chunks here and there.
