[08] Mercenary
Hi everyone
So I started in late SC IV. Xianghua was my main and I got a pathetic 20% win ratio no matter how hard I tried. I was a noob, fine. When started with V, I naturally picked Leixia as my main and I was doing OK. Up to this date I had about 1300 or so matches online and about 75% ratio.
Ok so I guess my result is above average. And I soooo want to believe that the characters in this game are balanced. But I can't help.
Yeah this is another whining thread complaining about Leixia but I am here to look for advice. And I try to use as many reasons as possible to prove my points.
First thing I have to say is, why does it take soooo much effort to win a match using Leixia. I also use nightmare from time to time. It was just soooo easy. Winning a match with Leixia, even a against a half decent player, is just a monumental effort.
Against relatively new players I usually have no problem wining. I play very aggressively but not spamming. I try to predict their move and strategically place my moves. And I find that with Leixia, I either win with not very much doubt. Or I lose completely, there just is nothing I can try to sway the battle towards my favour even a little bit.

The type of players I always lose to is, well you probably guessed, turtles. who just keep guarding, stay a bit farther than throw range (or knows how to break throws) and there is simply nothing I try that will work.
Here comes my reasons.
1. She has no good lows. 2A+B and 11AA can both be reaction blocked and the feint version is just pathetically slow and can be easily countered.
2. What is up with the 33/99 BB whiff these days, isn't that supposed to be a slight tracking move? especially when whey are grounded?
3. So what about zoners, Leixia has few if any good approaching moves. So many times I get pissed off by the zoners just standing there waiting for me to take the initiative, just pathetic cowards.
4. Range. Her range is slightly better than maxi and natsu, but anyone else will best her in range. And of course that brings me to damage.
5. ..................what can I say about damage..................so many times I pull off a super combo then look at the opponent's health bar, sigh and laugh. So she has to attack about 20,30 times to kill someone. More attack means more opening for the opponent to counter.
So what should i do. I don't mind losing to a skilled player but losing to a complete coward with little skill and just holding that G button so tight, really pisses me off.
Do you agree that Leixia is way too weak in all aspects. Especially when matched up against the major players.
People say she has safety and speed. But every character has a fast move. and that's enough to counter her. like i said above, so many more attacks leads to so many more openings. Safety doing count much when your opponent can finish you in just 3 combos.
I tried to play defensively as well. But the result is always bad. She just can't deal enough damage to reward defence.
Advice please. I plan on sticking with her no matter how much I think she is unbalanced. Maybe that determination can earn an reply from you?
thanks in advance
