Well his BE After 6A,K/6B,K is a shoulder check (like 3kB) so maybe that's what caught your eye.
3 hit ending with a shoulder check.

Well crap. And I was actually looking forward to using Asura again after picking up Kilik a few months ago. .___.

At least it's a nice combo.

It's so fast will it really be useful as a TC against a simple AA?

I can't really tell exactly how long the TC is, it may or may not be long enough for high strings.

It does seem to TC early enough for it to be used at heavy disadvantage, though.

4B might be more reliable, actually

yeah

Oh yeah another interesting thing: I seem to recall 4(B), the guard break version, was cancellable into his stance. Probably if you hold down B the whole time

Damn thats hot. WHY DOES EVERYONE (so far) HAVE TO BE SO AWESOME. I'm trying to stick with Zwei and Pat as back ups but its so hard.
 
I apologize if you answered this, but does he have kilik's mixup throw where he either hits them in the nuts or tosses them over his shoulder for a potential ring out?

Does he have any JFs?

Yeah those moves are in

The only JF I saw was one for WR K. It's like Yun Sung's flying kick JFs from SCIV. There might be more JFs, though
 
Awesome, thanks for answering, and so quickly lol what's your overall judgement of Xiba? where do u think he would fall on a tier list? what are his weaknesses? Do you think he can win tournaments being used in the right hands?

I can't really say how good he is right now. A lot of it depends on how safe his moves are. To place him on a tier list I'd also have to know how good everyone else, which is largely unknown.

He doesn't seem to have any glaring weaknesses, and it seems like he can be played aggressively or defensively. So I don't see why he couldn't win a tournament.
 
Aside from your match with Barry, were there any matches recorded of you or filthierich using Xiba?
 
I'm kinda liking his moveset, but I can't stand the kid himself. Gonna have to make a CaS character to use this one.
