World Heroes Perfect/Hanzou

Introduction

Hanzou is just plain sick, though not the easiest to use to his full potential. The double-jump singlehandedly screws some characters. The DP cannot be air-blocked when it hits "deep" - a number of other anti-air specials can. His teleports can kill slower characters. And to top it off, his ABC is basically a free roman cancel, and it allows for great rushdown & infinites (dashing HK or dashing HP). In terms of matchups, I would compare him to ST Dhalsim: No disadvantages, but a good portion of the cast can hang with him. His ground pokes aren't the best, and his EX move & super are among the worst in the game.

Pros

+Simple to learn and not very hard to play +Amazing pressure, one of the strongest in the game due to his ABC special
+Great mobility, with a double jump and a teleport
+Good matchups against most of the cast
+Has a down-back throw (the only character in the game to have a down-back throw)

Cons

-Ground pokes aren't the best
-EX and Super aren't very good

NOTES: Hanzou's ABC is incredible, as you can cancel any normal into it (even when it whiffs!). It reduces the recovery of his heavy attacks by around 10-16 frames, creating strong pressure & even infinites with his dashing HP and HK.
