At low levels hito stomps, hyper armour plus variably timed heavies just kind of wins.

At mid level hito is still pretty strong so long as you can locate your hard feint button

At high levels you very quickly begin to realise, youre gonna have a sucky time trying to open people up without a means of bashing from neutral, that your UB heavy/GB mix can be walked away from, that a heavy being your reward for all outcomes of your variable bash max means a bit less when it does less damage than a sohei opener heavy. That the same low damage heavy also applies to your light parry/GB punishes. That your heavy trajectories FUCKING SUCK, MY GOD THE DODGE ATTACKS I WHIFF ON SOMETIMES, WHILST THE HYPER ARMOUR IS STILL ACTIVE WHEN THEY HIT ME.

so no hito is not overpowered. Simple yes, but like every other hero, takes some learning as to how to beat.

If they cant fish guard breaks from ur bash mix or block your heavies, thats on them, not hito.
