real talk, I think Ibuki got straight up ruined.
like, Alex kept what was needed for his moveset, but Ibuki didnt.
Balrog is fun though, I'll definitely pick him up.
I feel like she's been buffed over her sf4 counterpart and is exceptionally good now in sf5.
Could be wrong but here's a copy paste of what I write about her on srk:
I straight up think she might be number one:
Will take more time to discover the matchups first, but she doesn't seem as outpoked as in sf4. Her normals have around the same range as they did in sf4, but everyone else's are shorter.
She lost tsumuji... But gained ground kunai and ground ex kunai...
She lost neckbreaker as KD setplay and anti fireball with the ex version, but gained lp raida as KD setplay and ex raida as anti fireball shit.
And she has things other characters simply don't have. Solid AA. Good footsies breaker that isn't duckable and goes into ex dp easily. Good damage bnb via target into raida. Super plus on block ex special for pressure.
St.mp walking for pressure and ch confirms.
St.mk target combo for some of the best KD style pressure in the game (opponent can't quick roll or backroll out of aerial flip)
Fast walkspeed unlike her sf4 counterpart.
3 frame normal that goes into combo.
Keeps metered reversal
Gains ability to combo off of ex dp
Only character in the game that can combo off of CC sweep... And for really good damage at that.
Gains button hold kunai, has a float for getting out the corner, has increased juggle potential.
Seriously, they took sf4 ibuki and buffed her.
Lovin it.
