Well, anyone who can zone has that advantage against Haku. Personally, Haku's worst matchups in CS are Mu and Ara because of how they zone. Mu can basically put Haku on lockdown and there's nothing he can do about it, so he has to stay on the offensive which isn't alway the smartest thing to do. The match is easier if you can put her on the defensive, but it's still more ambiguous than fighting Lambda (which is, imo, a very straightforward matchup). As for Valk, I just noticed Spark put up a post in the Valk matchup thread that gives some insight. My take is simply that Valk not only outdamages Haku, but he has very slippery mobility, and his mixup is just evil. He's hard to pin down and he can run a train on your ass if he so wishes. Simply put, he's the one who best controls the pace of the match. Hope that answers your questions.
