That's mainly because being slow in SF2 doesn't decrease your accuracy

What 1.8 really needed was a differentiation between Attack, Evade and
Block accuracy, the latter because it's logical to assume that blocks
are the main way of defense for slow characters. A system similar to
the one in 2.0 comes in mind ^^
