Resistance to Analytical Prediction for everyone; Photographic Memory for Yu
So I'll start this by saying that every boxer in the serie has Analytical Prediction of a certain level.Ryu (who unfortunately doesn't have a profile but I still need to name him for the thread) has Resistance to it because his talent is described to be freedom, while boxers are able to predict punches and timing Ryu was able to completely be unreadable,due to his freedom of movement, by the 3rd strongest middleweight boxer, which should be more skilled than the average one, Ryu was also unreadable by Shia who, on his profile, has this: Analytical Prediction (Capable of memorizing the attack patterns, rhythms, timing, and habits of his opponents, utilizing it all against them, being unable to be touched by them after he memorized all of their movements.[2] Was able to read almost all of Jay's attacks, despite Jay previously knocking him out, even knocking out Jay in the next round[3]) and is rated as Genius in comabt.
Siha was able to perform a "lower level" of Ryu's movements, by being able to replicate similar movements he should also gain his resistance, also here.
Jean has is own way to negate analytical prediction as his talent is different from Ryu's one, he basically can mess the opponent perception of his movements an timing becoming unreadable.
Yu (in his first key) was able to outskill Ryu's movements (and probably he even read those movements), not only that but (in his final key) he also was able to replicate the exact same Ryu's movements after seeing it years ago, Yu's talent is even presented to be on a superior level compared to Ryu's one, Yu also completely outskilled Jean, Jean could initially "predict" Yu's movements but still Yu completely out skilled his predictions, also given Yu's BIQ and the fact he could remember a movement performed years ago (at least 2 given he trained 2 years before becoming a boxer) should grants him photographic memory.
Social influence (fear) for Yu
herePain tolerance for Yu
Pressure Points for everyone
here and here, even the average boxer IRL is aware of the weak points of the human body to hit, Yu specifically can cut skin with his punches.Extraordinary genius for Yu (in combat)
Yu should be rated as extraordinary genius combat wise so from "Unknown, Genius combatant" to "Unknown, Extraordinary Genius combatant" for the following reasons:By following the definitions of Genius and Extraordinary Genius on the Intelligence Page, Genius is basically being peak human in terms of intelligence while Extraordinary Genius is being superior to human's limits, we have an high amount of statements for him being >humans, both physically and in terms of BIQ and skills, Jean who is rated as Genius on his profile, because he was undefeated for 10 years and reached the perfection of the boxing technique (see the profile for the scan and a more accurate explanation), is completely outskilled by Yu during the whole match even adapting to his fighting style (scans above in the analytical prediction part) and this is how Jean perceive Yu's boxing skill, it's basically a complete no diff, there are more statements of his boxe being out of the world and stuff like that but Jean's ones are the most reliable as he already reached the Genius intelligence and perfect technique of the boxe and still Yu completely transcends him and he outright said Yu>humans, Siha is also considered Genius and Ryu should also, given he was stronger than Siha; Yu was able to read, remember, copy and outskill Ryu's moves which are unreadable by a Genius (Siha) who is compared to a computer, so my point is basically that Genius in his verse are ants compared to him.
Another feat which is worth mentioning it's Yu's adaptability during a fight, Aaron completely outmatched Yu after he started to use techniques (only in terms of Ap and Speed, also yes, before that he was throwing random punches) for Yu was completely impossible to avoid those punches and a single hit would have outright killed him, still Yu managed, by pure BIQ, to fight someone who was vastly superior than him in both AP and Speed, also stamina but it's not extremely relevant, so while during the other matches Yu's speed helped him now Yu couldn't count on that, the only thing he could do was to use his talent and BIQ, it's also stated that at the minimal mistake Yu would have die.
This might only limited by boxing but I don't think it is, I'll try to explain it by using his Analytical prediction and Power Mimicry, firstly, a boxer's analytical prediction should work this way: I know step by step a movement and therefore by seeing the initial steps I'm able to predict the technique, Yu doesn't do it, Yu never actually learnt boxing techniques, K (his boxing teacher) already from the beginning of the serie thinks it would be a waste of time, what I'm saying is that Yu doesn't have a base knowledge of boxing since he never learnt the steps of the movements (like Jean, or even Takeda, does for example) therefore Yu could completely outskill and read a Genius who is the peak of boxing by pure talent and BIQ with none-small knowledge of boxing itself, we also have to consider Ryu's movement's aren't boxing movements (or from any other martial art) as explained above and still Yu could perfectly read and outskill, even copy, that talent.
For the power mimicry part, Yu was able to perfectly predict and copy, faster and with more precision, Takeda's movements before he could even complete them and he did it in his first time fighting as an in-fighter, Yu (and also Jean) is an out-fighter which have a different style of boxing compared to an in-fighter and still he had no difficulty in performing this feat.
