I've been putting this off for a while now, but, it's about time that we get this set in stone.
To start off with how analytical prediction in the series works, even the most basic of Boxers are capable of utilizing analytical prediction, which involves the analysis of the movement of the opponent's shoulders, their footwork, rhythm, and their habits, and basically any physical information they can use to avoid attacks they wouldn't normally be able to dodge, specifically stated as attacks that are "impossible to see coming".
Then we get to the so-called "Geniuses" in the series, who take this to the next level. People on the level of prodigies in the series possess a unique "flow", a concept in fighting that allows for immense fluidity, allowing for little loss of kinetic energy between motions and sharp increases of strength for exceptionally skilled prodigies. This fluidity has shown to provide a resistance to analytical abilities, as shown with Baeksan Ryu, who was unable to be read by characters like Siha Lee, who already possess heavily advanced forms of analytical prediction. This would mean that those "geniuses" with superior "flow" in comparison to other fighters, therefore having a higher skill level, can resist analytical prediction from those with lower skill levels.
So, my proposal boils down to:

So, my proposal boils down to:
- All Boxers in the series get Analytical Prediction(except for a select few who are blatantly unskilled, like Victor)
- All characters that are considered "Geniuses" get resistance to analytical prediction (Yu, Jean, Siha, Ryu, etc)
