Official Soulcalibur V 1.03 Patch Notes!

[Synraii]

236B - PUNISHER ie won't be stepped when used to punish.
3B - Gives some (granted not much) damage and mixup oppertunity - not to mention its range.
4B - use it to kill high's and throws, ie. as part of active defence, don't rush down with it, lol.

His tools are flawed and limited, but he still has tools. I'm not suggesting for one second he's tournament competitive. But he can be played man.

nah...

I want to believe, but nah...

236 B is at most, a decent regular punisher
3B no, it has very low reward, is way below almost the whole cast tools
4B lol

Then again, he has nothing, but if you are gonna mention a good tool then this: 33KBBE CE great damage, kills stepping, can be use as a tech trap :D

When I use Raph besides BB and 2A is like the only decent tool in his arsenal.

236B ? i20 40 damage? yeah thats a pretty shit whiff punisher.......just use 66B...for more (still subpar)

3B prep BB is 28 damage and 0 on hit thats fucking bad

4B is fucking garbage im against using slow linear highs just by principle

BB is like his only "solid" tool

The Mitsu thing can be seen in this video (the final combo):

I already tought it could be removed. The damage is to high and it has guaranteed combo with CE (two times, if you have 2 bars). No surprise.

Well, I don´t know why the changes on Leixia CE. Mitsu´s CE can connect with another one (and it has RO and Wall hit properties). CE of Cervantes works with another one too. Look, I´m completely impartial here (since I play with Mitsu and Cervantes and don´t play with Leixia lol). I think this change was completely unnecessary on her.

I think buffs are more necessary than nerfs, especially when the move is not abusive or not so frequent. I think they made a mistake on Leixia (again).

I agree Raph is low tier but 3B prep BB is 0 on hit only if you dont go again into PREP ... yeah prep suck but +10 on prep is not garbage, but still (very) risky.
The real good thing about 3B is how consistent it can be at punishing stuff from afar.

4B is like his best throw punisher no ? It's quite useful I think. It's also good to kill high in strings.
