Line 5:
Some fighters have [[Fragile Speedster|speed]], some have [[Mighty Glacier|strength]].
Proponents of [[Confusion Fu]] have ''unpredictability''. Their attacks and motions are random (or seem to be), making them difficult to read and predict. Perhaps their priorities and motivations are so different from your own that attempting to guess their next move doesn't work, or perhaps their bodies are structured in such an unfamiliar way that you do not recognize the movements that foretell a particular action.
They are the natural nemesis of those blessed with [[Awesomeness By Analysis]]. Stylish Confusion Fu fighters sometimes double as [[Dance Battler]]s. This style is often used by [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]]s and [[Crazy Awesome]] characters.
Compare [[Bavarian Fire Drill]], which is the equivalent tactic for non-combat situations. Sister trope to [[Spanner in the Works]], in a general sense. The reason why something [[Crazy Enough to Work]] might ''actually'' work. See also [[Drunken Master]] and [[Drunken Boxing]]. Contrast [[Strategy Schmategy]], where the randomness is [[Hanlon's Razor|unintentional]]. Not to be confused with [[What the Fu Are You Doing?]].
