Finding an opponent's rhythm isn't as easy as you make it out to be. Not every rhythm is as simple as "one, two, one, two" or "one-two-three-four, one-two-three-four", and it isn't something that's easy to teach with training alone. And then there's the people who are aware of rhythm and purposefully move asynchronously with their own rhythm to confuse their opponent, which can really mess with people who focus on their opponent's rhythm too much. Additionally, one's rhythm is subject to change depending on how they're currently fighting (for instance; patient, defensive, and analytic fighting results in a slower rhythm, while impatient, aggressive, and desperate fighting results in a much faster rhythm), which makes reading it much harder.

And you're missing my point about the personality. It doesn't matter if that's what everyone around him sees, it doesn't matter if it's a mask, people have faces beneath their masks. What you are doing is the equivalent of putting on a mask and expecting people to assume you don't have a face underneath it.

Even if nobody else would know about it because of the mask, you need to explain what he's like beneath the mask. Wearing a mask doesn't suddenly make him a Noppera-bo.
