Obsolete is bit of hyperbole, don't you think?
Last hit of f+2,1 could be changed to a hook that tailspins similar to what they did with Paul's b+1,2.
d+3 could stay because if no one gives a shit that kaz and dj share b+4 which is like 20 times more important then Kings d+3 or ws+3 then why not?
They could do a lot to A.King like make db+1+2 into something useful or add more BT moves.
Maybe it's me but I think there's way more to A.King than f+2,1, d+3 or ws+3. Way more.
Besides he has his style and charm King can't copy and vice versa.
No, I'm serious, as he is now, he is obsolete when put directly in T7
Think about this. What is AK's strength? If you think about it, he really doesn't have a shining strength. King has better throws than him, Jin has better versions of his pokes than him, and DU isn't EWGF. But combining some of their strengths themselves makes him really good. I can play him a bit like King, and I can play him a bit like Jin.
But now, look at Jin, he has a proper hopekick now, and his electric launches now! Combine that with his superior but similar pokes and he pretty much do what AK does, but better!
Now look at King, what differentiates King from AK? lows! Although AK has a less amounts of beefy mids compared to King, he has lows. Now King has those lows now, and his arsenal of mids got even better!
This thing goes back again to that powercreep issue mentioned before, and this is one of the consequences of it. Either AK gets phased out, or he comes back with a dumb move that will distinguish him to those 2, but can potentially ruins the character.
