Rise of Leixia!

I admit I have been a bit too doom and gloom on this SA. That doesnt mean that every day I am at home I am not scouting these forums and grinding out matchups. As a Leixia player it is frustrating facing someone who guessed right once and then took a round. But hey, that happens and I know I need to improve to stop that round from being taken.

Just ignore people who continue to complain and move on. They honestly have a right to complain imo.

Anyone that thinks this character is trash just play him on a regular basis.

Trash? No.

Severely lacking in damage that has a noticeable effect on SOME matchups, yes.

She is bad but not unviable at all. She just takes a lot of work and mindgames.
 
It's basically like, you have to play perfectly with Leixia. if you mess up you eat a ton of damage. Most of the SC5 cast has that option to make someone see about half their health bar disappear. Leixia doesn't really have that luxury without using 150% of her meter. this is basically what i'm seeing. yeah i win a ton of matches but when i notice i'm playing a really good player and have to resort to a poking game because i don't wanna make a mistake and get "nuked" and then notice that the other person pokes for more damage, it's a little disheartening. or losing the range game against a good asta player that can space well. i think Leixia is one of the most complex characters to learn match-up wise. noticed last night that Leixia doesn't have very many effective advancing moves.

so now i have two weaknesses: Just Guard and really good spacers.
 
I think Leixia is pretty strong, if you know how to use her. She has pretty great mix ups. I've faced a lot of them early in the release.
 
Hey, guys. How's it g-- ...Still the same? Okay, bye.

P.S.: Seriously, guys. PowerUp was a major, even though it didn't have a lot of attendance. Stop writing it off.

Doesn't matter. No one player can "save" a character from their flaws. Not even Mick. I think I can make it with Leixia too, but that does not mean I'm denying her problems. If I go to Summer Jam and win, does that magically make all the issues she has now disappear? Or better yet, would it make you pick her back up again after dropping her?

How good or bad a character is depends on what that character has.

well you seem to forget this win came when leixia had double CE, she could at least make up for poor damage.
removal of double CE was the final nail in the coffin, with regards to her viability.
 
So, what exactly we'll need in patch 1.04 to make Leixia looking better? I'm curious. Because I'm almost dropping this character and learning someone else.
