Blame Namco, they created this character who needs to be played so dry.
Insert comment about dry balls lol.
Anyway it's not as bad offline, lag really helps the bubble spam prosper and be effective. He has really bad matchups against the top 3-4 characters as well, as they all have good tools to get around/under/through bubbles. Kilik and Amy especially give him problems.
He has more tools outside of bubbles, his standard B,B is one of the best in the game, and his 1B is a great tech crouch and whiff punisher into a combo. Yes, a combo with bubbles lol. But in general he suffers in close with or without bubbles, and his sidestep is the worst in the game. Well, except for Yoda, but he's Yoda.
