His meter gain has ALWAYS slowed down because of his energy-based special moves, of which his teleport Is only 1. It drains his battery, so-to-speak. This is a character concept that’s been around from day 1, so why only start complaining about it now? And only about the teleport when there are 2 other specials that do the same (eye laser and plasma bolt)? It makes no sense! Especially since you can speed the meter gain back up by being aggressive and using his physical-based special attacks like his DP and claw-charge. If you want to gain meter so badly, don’t zone so much and only use his energy-based attacks mid-combo where they will still build meter, since he’s on the offense and no longer in the neutral.
As for his teleport, it’s crazy good for mixup opportunities (left, right, mid, throw, DP, low, overhead, poke, meaty, etc.), and he’s still invisible during many of his follow-up attacks, making him hard to read and effectively counter.
He got nerfed because he needed it. [spoiler] If you don’t like it, then either learn the character better like others have said, move on to something else, or become a game developer and make your own FG.
…or, you know, you could actually come up with a somewhat reasonable argument for your stance instead. Right now, you’re too emotionally fuelled and not thinking things clearly through. A break, perhaps, might be a good idea. A little relaxation, after all, never hurt anyone. [/spoiler]
