His movement combined with his incredibly strong zoning game make it nearly impossible for some characters to ever get the edge against him.

Hitstun reduced significantly to compensate.– Maximum movement from charge reduced 15%~ Now ignores player collisions during movement– Leg hurtbox size increased slightlyIron GiantIron Giant play was dominated by his easy-to-input infinites and a few early-kill setups.
