Freeze is starting a new series for his channel where he shows how to counter strong mix ups in the game. He's starting with Hitokiri's kick/sweep mix up:

Thx for the vid. Really interesting kind of series to do vid about.

Thanks for posting this! It's certainly a helpful video for tackling a difficult encounter! Like how SangLong524 stated, how do you usually tackle engaging Hitokiri in these situations?

I mostly just make reads, and her meager 28 damage is less than what she suffers from a guardbreak. It's cool though that her only real working offense is designed a way it can be shut down by some characters even without trying. I don't think it will be a wildly used thing, though I will definetely use it, just like I used to backdodge those stupid Aramushas.

UbiFate, I just react with dodge attack/backdodge against her both kicks, training that a lot of hours and on Block letting the heavy go against the kick do the trick.

But my main is pk so the diference is abysmal.
