Yeah, I can't say I like it either. It's interesting to see how a Street Fighter character will work in a Tekken but I thought that's what Tekken X Street Fighter was for so to me, this is kind of pointless.
Gouki apparently has a super meter. Jin's Rage juggling was ridiculous. Paul's 2p costume is badass. Nina's gonna make an appearance thankfully, but she has such a ridiculous rage art.

Is Paul Phoenix still a joke character?I haven't really followed the tiers since Tekken 3 or 4, but I remember Paul was like SS tier in 3.
And every Tekken after paints him as kind of a goofball, and I rarely hear his name talked about for god tier's (That's always Devil Jin and such..)
7 has him fighting Panda in canon, and running away from Feng in a comical fashion in one of the endings.
So yeah, he's still a joke story wise, though definitely not one in-game.
As far as story-wise power goes, who knows, but he's not hanging around with the Mishimas feat-wise. In 4 he was probably at his weakest because he was beaten by Kuma II. 5 has him return the favour, but he has to drop out afterwards. Dunno what happened in 6, but the intro video has him matching Bryan, a cyborg who laughs off tank shells.
