They straight buffed him outside of 2 nerfs. I think he's about the same. He was 3rd best in Arcade. Down D is still pretty strong but they buffed Elbow, BD target combo, Neomax, DM, and jump D. I think they slowed his Sweep down by 1 frame and slightly decreased the hitbox and made EX Kuuhadan not invincible anymore (This is fine because they made this change to all the EX Hurricane kicks. Kula was hit by this even harder)
