i'm done talking to walls and i've never given off any strategies but jump hitting 1Ks and two people seem to immediately think i'm a bad leixia player even though they have no idea how i play. i'm done with this thread.
No, I don't think you're a bad player (I couldn't possibly since I haven't played you) besides I'm not the type of guy to go around making fun of people, that is really beneath me. However, me simply stating you don't understand her was my OPINION which was gathered from your posts (I was only going by what you said).
Anyways, I'll gladly take you on. My PSN is same as username.
leixia damage has to come from mix ups and mind games she's not for the straight forward players.
so if you cant do it consider picking an easier character like pyrrha or patroklos.
she is designed for the players who like complex mind games and breaking their opponent down by out smarting them.
if your a player who likes to keep it simple or have a basic game plan.
you really wont do well with leixia, that's where you may find yourself thinking shes bad.
to be honest in actually fact you just are not using her properly.
leixia is not an aggro character, in which you hope to over whelm your opponent with brainless rush down.
she is a character that requires great thought and careful planing.
if your damage mad and then i suggest you pick up another character, or start learning how to mix up to make up for that damage.
Exacta!
I'm in total in favor with you here, as I've stated the exact same things yesterday.
She is not a bread and butter character, requires a lot of skill to play effectively. Good to know that someone else understand's this.
Uh, I hate to bring this up to you, but only as far as the patch notes went. Tira lost her ability to change stances, Leixia got all of her signatures nerfed. And I mean every last one. It looked like Tira got nerfed worse because the list was longer, but one, she was better before she got nerfed, just Leixia seemed to have a pretty good match-up against her, and two, Tira was still an alright character. It just required people to master Jolly.
Yeah I was told late yesterday about the full understandings of her patch (Tiras)... Not like I ever payed much attention since I didn't play her but yeah the hella long list threw me off.
Leixia's mixups aren't bad in the sense that their general properties are bad. The reason they're considered 'bad' is because they do a fair bit less damage than most characters' mixups. Sure, Leixia might with them 50% more often than anyone else, but if they only do half the damage, that still means Leixia's mixups are 'bad' comparatively.
2K leaves you at -2 on hit - not ideal if you want to start mix-up.
While most of those moves you listed do indeed have their uses, FC 3bB is just generally horrible. And do you want to know why? Because the instant that cute little jailbait says 'Umm...' like the perpetually innocent little flower she is, all your opponent has to do is to quickly initiate a TJ move to stuff her up. For example, Natsu can react with 9KA for over 60 damage!
Mix ups are not deemed bad or good based on damage, that's not even considerable of the mixing up factor. Mix ups are good depending on their frames, properties, and consistency. With those 3 things even the LEAST damaging mix up can be a very GOOD/Dangerous one to deal with. BB and Grab mix ups is a perfect example, and is one of the more consistent mix ups out there... Like I said before, once you get in your opponent's head anything is possible. "Even a blade of grass can be used a weapon."
With that being said, Leixia has some of the best mix ups/ set ups in the game! Her mix ups are at best when she's in FC state, so may want to try and be FC more often (unless ur fighting asta).
If you read the previous pages, you'll see I posted set ups for FC 3bB... I hit 'pro' players with this 95% of the time. Why? Because I use it properly that's why. Of course if you just whore it out there without properly setting up then they will jump or JG.
@Mnt77
Yeah I totally agree on 3B being less damaging than 66K is silly.
