Leixia Q&A/General Strategy Thread

So what do you guys think is the best way to handle backstep with Leixia? I know 66BB will catch, but I don't feel like it's all that reliable since it's slow and you lose your advantage if they don't move.

B+K will give you a tech couch and move you forward. From there you can mixup with almost her entire movelist.
 
Some people claimed that Leixia combo her CE into another CE in the Tier thread (I think). Is this true or are they spewing complete garbage? I've never been able to do this (I've only accidentally done two CEs in a row when glitching).

Yes this was true, and actually very powerful if you initiated the combo with the CE (without any launch or stun). It was a really great find. We don't know yet if it will be possible after the patch
 
No. It's inescapable. It is a combo. You just have to buffer the CE correctly. You'll know if you managed to make the second CE combo if the "Critical Edge" alert doesn't pop up on the side of the screen for the second CE.
 
CE+CE off a just guard = awesome. Look for players that like to abuse guard breakers. Like Mitsurugi's move where he fakes a 1A.

66BB is the best attack if you know they will back step, but is slow and easy to punish if your opponent knows how. A safer option is to dash in and then block. Staying close to your opponent is its own reward with Leixia. But characters with fast zoning attacks (like Mitsu and Cervantes) are IMO extremely tough for Leixia.

Another thing you could try is dashing back yourself, and waiting for a better opportunity to close. But there's no doubt that midrange is tough for Leixia vs many characters. And will be tougher now that WR B BE (which I think is her longest range move) is now nerfed.

Leixia's longest reaching moves are 22A, 6A+B, FC 3bB. WS B BE is one of them, but not the only one.
 
Would any Leixia mains be interested in fighting a scrubby, psychotic Tira main on XBL? I'd like to become more accustomed playing better :D
