Exciteboxing: vs Usagi Minazuki (Champion Mode)

Our third opponent is Usagi, the "Pretty Rabbit," or just that cute little tomboy who's most likely the only reason this game has the slightest bit of recognition. Statistically, she's roughly the opposite of Afro: she's much slower than him, but her attack and defense are slightly higher. She also has pretty good evasion relative to her predecessors. Consequently, Usagi will usually win by running the timer, as if three rounds pass without a victor, the game forces a draw, which might as well be a loss as far as game progression is concerned.

One critical flaw completely unravels Usagi's defensive build, however. Her special attack, the Usalariat, while very damaging, has an extremely lopsided ratio of risk to reward. It has the largest and most obvious vulnerability window of every special attack in the game. Usagi's stamina gets utterly shredded by coutner-rushes -- she's hardly unique in that respect -- but she has a distinctive, self-destructive habit of using her special attack far more often than any other fighter.
