I need a general idea on how to play Leixia as i'm kind of stuck on getting better with her.

Topics of help: - How to finish off people when they are low life Playing my first matches online, I faced Voldo, Mitsurugi, Setsuka and Nightmare. To which Voldo most often stayed long range in blind stance, trying to grab me and roll over me. Mitsurugi spammed one of the stances (the one that...

I'm new to this game and the for the life of me, I can't figure out when to block and crouch block. Is there a way to figure out when the opponent will use lows? (I've only played CPU's so far however)
