That Dann says, is the most important. Knowing your opponent is one of the most important things in Chess. And Hydra team does not only know the playing style of Shredder, but actually can play millions of games against Shredder 8 and tune Hydra for being ready against "him". The only hope for Shredder is that SMK would have changed Shredder X enough that it's style and strength would be significantly different and better from Shredder 8.
