Just saw the March 21st patch notes....:(

Her moveset felt super limited, I just don't understand why they nerfed her this much. Maybe they wanted Kayane to stop winning tourneys.
 
Leixia was the ultimate anti-bullshit character. This game is FULL of garbage, and Leixia helped calm the storm. So, obviously, they wanted this Ninja-Bomby storm, because Natsu remained UNTOUCHED.

Screw SC. I'll try it out after the patch, but this is so ridiculous, I hate the new Project Soul, AND the new director. Can't believe I payed $60 day-one for a netcode. Natsu didn't get a nerf. The balance team sucks.
 
The patch is available for PS3 in Europe.

WR B BE, BT B+K, 3B does only 58 dmg now!
It's still possible to do CE x 2 for 160+ dmg.
 
I'm sorry, how much damage? ....

I'm actually thinking about quitting this game. These guys have lost their freaking minds.

If thats how you feel then this community will respect your wishes and fare you well in your future endeavours.
I find it hard to believe that no one here was willing to help another fellow leixia user with strats to beat natsu's bomb, since you seemed intelligent enough to tell people to "grab on reaction" against leixia's wrB BE and to "stop spamming verticals".

Can you do me a favor please, Ring? See if either 33BB or 3B+K connect to iWR B BE, BT B+K, since in the notes, it says the kick pops people higher. Much appreciated.

None of these work. 33BB is too slow, because when you buffer it it adds 10 frames more to its impact frames, and 3B+K has not enough range. When I try a quick dash into 3B+K the opponent can block it.

BT B+K doesn't seem to launch the opponent much higher (if any). I don't really know this character very well, maybe someone will find a better option.

I doubted 33BB would work, actually, just wanted to try it, but, you know, you saying that, actually gave me a great idea when you said that, because I was thinking the buffering frames would make it too slow as well. Thank you for the testing. Do you think there's any chance that 663B would work post BT B+K, by using 66 to cancel the QS animation?
 
If leixia didn't get nerfed she would have most likely be the next S tier nice to see Namco future proofing their balancing.

People who bitch about Leixia are those who don't know the fundamentals of this game.

I don't even know what to say to people who think she's S tier. Go play with CaS and stay there?
 
58? <_< Ugh. She'll get buffed next time around guys. I never said I was going to switch btw. I just have bad experiences with my character being nerfed for no reason. They lessened her guard breaking too lol. -sigh- gonna be a long few months.

Natsu's bomb isn't that bad for me. The fire one catches me sometimes but the blockable one is like a reflex usually. Maybe I just haven't encountered more than 2-3 good natsu players.

They took away her dart stun btw. Wouldn't that shorten her combos? I also thought that stunning grounded opponents was the only use for her darts so... I kinda wtf'd.
Ugh thinking about nerfed damage even when it sucked is painful.
Lei's WR B BE didn't need to be hit THAT hard. 58. Didn't Maxi net like 100 damage from a BE punisher?

What are we going to do about our character Kalas?? =(

Don't know. =/

As much as I love the game and the scene, but she seems pretty much garbage (haven't played the patched version though) and I don't wanna be forced to play Mitsu (whose 66A+B or 236B do more damage than any combo of Leixia now that doesnt involve walls or CE) or an Alexandra.

Tbh, I think we should keep winning with her just to annoy people that they lose against such a bad character, lol.
