Only DJ matches his top-tier consistency. Then Steve.
It's pretty much a given that Lee's high-A or low-S, and the bears C. I'll take a punt on B for Miguel, but he could easily be higher if he can deal big punishes.
Still look forward to Knee bodying everyone with Jack regardless. I've wanted to be able to use Ling since bloody Tekken 3, so many buttons though. How maybe other character reveals are left to go?

Ling's been a sleeper for years, Pez, but she's frustrating to others and limited in turns. Her stances have defined uses, so she's not as practice-heavy as Lei in that regard. I used to play against a good Ling in Dark Res, and she gave Lee a few problems with her Phoenix transitions. A lot of her stuff's crap on paper, but she's a wibbly hurtbox if you can snake around with her.
Or at least it always felt that way to me. Feng's a rhythmically push-pull poke monster, so you learn his business early doors and then spend the rest of your time iterating it. Lee's actually one of the easiest characters to learn, because he's a very clear answer for almost everything, but his lack of priority and his reliance on execution for advanced stuff puts people off. DJ, Bryan and Steve are just more lucrative for that level of investment.
But I don't feel that anyone can match a rampaging Lee for hype in all of 3D Fightland, so I'll take a few more losses.
I'm not sure how much damage Akuma can get from inescapable combos, but that's some serious-looking corner-carry...
Sod Cauliflower Akuma, this is the real deal. His unsafe divekick seems to be plus on block, setting him up as a monster when the mindgames are in your favour, else maybe someone who gets a bit locked out.
