Exactly what is wrong with Freeman? He fights alot like Mature from KOF. He's not useless.
LOL?
he is bottom tier, he is basically tied with tizoc on the USEFUL scale (read: sucks hairy dick). He has no good AA (a downward slash that hits like 1.5 pixels in front of him and has the worst priority ever = does not count), his basic combo(s) rely on 3 slashes that are super predictable and the hardest part to figure out about them is DOES THE SECOND ONE HIT LOW OR NOT? which is easy, and they are super easy to JD as well.
his supers are decent, too bad the only way you're going to combo them is either on feint (for not so good damage), on counter hit (good luck all your moves suck ass), or on the worst fucking brake move in the game (a fucking flip in the air which won't even work if the enemy is in the corner).
he has no good moves at all except maybe 1 air attack, his LURCH AT YOU super (which is easily grabbed), and thats about it.
he is just terribad, so bad that there is no one in Howard Arena who even bothers to play his sorry ass but they will still play Tizoc.
