How on earth do you counter that? Perhaps I'm wrong but due to the flamey animation I'm assuming it's an unblockable and it seems to have a radius as I have never successfully sidestepped it.
Seriously? Oh for the love of...
I thought any attack that had a red/orange flame animation was unblockable by default.

Until recently, Mitsurugi was still one of my most evenly contested battles with Voldo. I've recently started winning the vast majority of my matches against him, but there are two or three moves that are still vexing me a bit, and wondering if anybody had any advice for Voldo-specfic counters.
I have a feeling the answer I'm gonna get is "you're screwed a little" because I often hear people complaining about the delays on even good connections online and using Mitsurugi as a perfect example, but here are the moves that seem to get me near everytime unless I was already blocking by chance.
Mitsu's 1A, 4B, and 2K,B really mess me up. I can never seem to react in time to block 1A or 2K,B and I find few of my moves have the reach to stop 4B in time, and I find it too quick, personally, to sidestep on reaction.
If I'm in Blindstance, 1A seems to stop 4B most of the time though sometimes (typically at the farther reaches of Mitsu's 4B) it seems to hit me in spite of the fact that Voldo is, seemingly, completely flat against the ground. Closer in it seems to go over me, though.
But 1A and 2K,B just nail me. And it's not as if I can just block low all the time, as we all know how much damage Mitsu can dish out with the high mids, but his lows are so freaking quick. And the fact that 1A also hits me when I'm knocked down is frustrating too.
It's gotten to the point where I'm winning far more against good/versatile Mitsu players than I do against players who just spam those three moves+BB and 66BB.
