Free Step Dodge

His speed is in his hands: https://youtu.be/c9ioNsQQZeA?t=80

I mean, he's a pretty big dude. Makes sense for him to be neutrally slow with the exception of ninja trickery. I do believe (which I agree with FLACK) that Raidou slowness doesn't compensate him much compared to Rachel for example. I mean, just look at Raidou's backdash. That shit is pretty bad that you might as well just walk backwards (which is naturally quicker in acceleration).
