I am on the fence right now. He is literally a necessity right now. He and Engineer are the classes you need to actually win against all the Peas, Oaks and Shrooms.
And the only problem is that stupid 80 damage wave he can throw. Which is obviously needed to fight all the Shrooms. But at the same time broken when you face him as Rose or Corn.
His regular punches are actually weak right now as he becomes so slow and everybody can just walk away.
Im a SB player since the begining of GW2, and i can confirm: He will not be a necessity post patch, since Nightcap Will be nerfd to the ground, Pea and Oak are fightable by other characters. After patch, SB WILL be the best character in the game by far, the hit detection when the characters are moving will be fixed (confirmed in the livestream), making his Flying Fists and normal Fists even stronger. He needs a massive nerf on his Flying Fists, Ultra ball and Jump Thump.
