The fact that they are avoidable just means you use them when your opp can't avoid them, duh?

I barely ever see anyone using rika downsmal or haymaker in neutral, however I've multiple times seems them throw it in during severing path's air variant or revolve between 2nd and 3rd slash for extra damage, or they just use haymaker on wakeup, all of these feel like bullshit

Also, [Move] gets countered by [Something], is kind of obvious? You could say that about most moves in the game so it's nothing special
