The one thing I am concerned about is that if someone can master her, the sh*t ton of guaranteed teleporting combos is going to put her in (or even above) Sarah tier. Some of her combos remind me a lot of tag combos and I don't mean that in a good way. :/

Akira's knee isn't even hard, though. It's just pressing buttons fast. I'm assuming P4's stance transitions are actually timed like Jacky's kick or various hit grabs instead of the knee.

Wiggling is only easier because the game will try to read the closest possible command possible. You can't always wiggle those command because you may end up inputting further inputs that are not necessary causing it to just drop even if you wiggled it properly. Unlike Raijin...GBoD has to be on block. Raijin is a throw and you have enough time to fully input the grab animation.
well it works just fine for me.

i assume you would input the full move whenever you can anyway, as nothing else comes out if it's on hit. also your opponent should be guarding to begin with unless you're just randomly throwing it out there, so comparing it the raijin and saying you get more time to react isn't really a valid point.

wiggle wiggle~

Of course. The issue with that move is the command after the first hit on block. It's a simple guess move whether they choose to block or not. Raijin on the other hand has more to it, It's a grab. I wouldn't take my chances and wiggle the entire thing because that's hoping for the best that you hit the actual inputs and at the same time hope they block. To make it a simpler concept, you could perhaps wiggle the first part and try the best to input the rest as fully as possible for that higher execution chance for muscle memory. Raijin has that extra window for being a grab.

It was merely towards Striker Sashi about another move that has difficulty to pull off, but comparing the difficulty between the two GBoD takes it because the move is fast to begin with and the chain only starts if you managed to hit it on block, you can do it before block to input far too quickly and it won't come out...you can do it slightly late and you'll end up dropping mid way. Trying it off on training mode and in a real match is two different things. Constantly doing it on a blocking CPU is not credit at all for a easy level of sorts because you know for sure the CPU is blocking.

So if it's about reaction on inputs...I'd say you definitely have a easier time with Raijin.

i don't understand how it's a guess. you even repeated me and said the chain only starts on block.

full input on guard = gbod. full input on hit = 236P only.

i fail to see where the reaction times and guessing come into this :(

he probably meant whether they decide to block the move or not, which is a guess.
