I would have said high mid tier, about par with Parasoul in placing, but now, yeah.
The only characters I think that she will be above are Painwheel and maybe (not even) Big Band.
Too early to get that grim though I think.
EDIT: @Dime_x
You weren't practicing Fukua for all that long, the point of her zoning game is to funnel them into your favourite j.HK space.
The fireball nerf is a massive and very direct nerf to her zoning game. The bounces, yeah I agree with you it isn't really a buff or nerf either way, the block and hitstun is astronomical, I'm not sure you saw the difference between the pre-nerf version and now as much as those who have played her for a longer period of time.
Shadows are good, but they have a distinct weakness against vertical characters, as a PW, Parasoul and Double player you have felt the absolute brunt of the shadows. Characters such as Val and Squigly are not anywhere near as affected by shadows from a neutral position. Hell, Valentine can straight up punish them from a fairly long distance.
The fireballs were her crutch and even though I think she will still function without them, it affects her more deeply than I think you have experienced yet. I mean, who else has played Fukua against you other than me?
