Unlike Iggy's, it doesn't knock down, so you can intentionally trade moves with it and get combos you shouldn't normally be able to, like Gyro's horse charge.
In addition, it only triggers off moves that hit your torso (like Kosaku's cushion), so a lot of characters can just ignore it.
At the moment though its still fairly silly due to the whole 'teching during recovery' thing, but if they take that out its not too big of a worry.
