I played with Xiba last night a bit. I don't want to play the 1.02 to much seeing as MLG is this weekend but I agree with Wing_Zero on the movement issue. From what I played of Xiba I didn't have much of an issue BUT it was for about an hour and I did not play against anyone that knew what they were doing.
After seeing the patch notes I knew things were going to go all down hill so I'm playing Pat as well. Hopefully I'll still love Xiba but I'll find out after I play some folks that know what they are doing (Even though I fought a few A ranks and bodied them they don't count lol.)
Also...I wasn't sure I've I'd post this seeing as Namco hate Xiba and wants to nerf him as SOON as possible but Xiba's 6B,K does guard damage but DOES NOT BREAK GUARD. At first I was upset by this BUT think about this guys. When you have someone's guard gauge is in the red and they want to hit buttons you now have the options to use 6B and fish for a CH. Both 6B,K BE, 6A,K BE do not break guard.
Also if Namco is watching Please fix Cervantes hit box. When Xiba is close to him his REM B goes through him.
