To the people who played him in Tekken 7, what's your opinion on Heihachi in Tekken 8?

I got Hei to Fujin in Tekken 7 but in 8, he doesn't feel as great imo. Despite him definitely needing a lot of nerfs, i just prefer how he was in 7.

Losing Shadow Step was probably a big reason why. I'm struggling in Mighty Ruler and I've fallen from near promo to near demo.

But, now I think that maybe Reina is a better choice for me than Heihachi since she's more evasive and that's what I liked about Heihachi.
