​

6A ​

is -18 on block. 6A+B, even if he continues the string this will TC under his next option, USE THIS ALWAYS.​

​

6ABB ​

is -16: 6A+B(BE), normal 6A+B WILL whiff, CE. on JG it is -25 so use B+K, 66B, 236K​

​

EZIO 4AB​

This is a High High String that is a Crossbow smack to bolt attack. if they don't do the B its -10 and if the do the B its -30. When you see -30 HOLY SHIT you can punish with a plethora of moves BUT it has a big push back that will even make 66B whiff so why do you do? You Have more than enough time to react to both options.​

Punish​

Like i said before the B is -30 but has super pushback ​

DUCK THE FUCKING B!!!!! on whiff i swear this thing is like -45​

WR A ​

is -12: AA​

​

VERTICALS​

​

4B ​

is -18: 6A+B(BE) will connect at point blank range. At mid range CE can reach, at tip range you cannot punish.​

​

WR B ​

is -12: AA, at tip range Ezio can block your AA.​

WR BB ​

is -16: YOU CANNOT BLOCK PUNISH THIS. Make sure to JG or step this. On JG this is -27 so B+K, 3B, 236K, CE , 6A+B, 66B, etc.​

​

Jump B​

is -14: Use 3K or CE. The second hit of BB usually whiffs. 3K will whiff at tip range. CE will always hit.​

​

KICKS​

​

6K2 ​

on block is -32, use 66B or 44B given Ezio's step back afterward, CE will whiff at tip range.​

6K2 on hit is -18. At tip range you cannot do anything about it. At mid and close range use 6A+B(BE) or CE. Normal 6A+B will always whiff.​

​

SIMULTANEOUS PRESS​

​

A+B ​

is -16: 6A+B will punish is he does nothing after or rolls to your right, if he rolls to your left it will whiff. CE will track all of his options and block punish. 2A+B will punish him if he chooses to roll.​

​

8WAYRUN​

​

22A ​

is -15: CE will always punish. AA/BB/3K work at close and mid range.​

​

22AA​

is -23: 66B, CE. Stick to these two. 6A+B series whiffs at long and tip range. On JG he is at -32 so add 44B to the list on JG.​

​

11/77A ​

is -20: 6A+B whiffs at long range, 6A+B(BE) will always punish, CE works too. B+K works at point blank range.​

​

44A ​

is -14: The CE timing is fairly tight so be aware. 3K, BB, and AA work at close and mid range, whiff at tip.​

​

33/66/99B ​

is -16: The 6A+B series will whiff at long range, CE will always connect.​

33/66/99BB is -16: If spaced correctly, 6A+B will whiff, 6A+B brave edge will always connect. CE will always work too.​

66BB on JG is -25 so you can use 66B, B+K or 236K​

2nd hit can also be stepped for better punishes​

​

22/88B ​

is -12: Only at point blank range you can punish with a single A, all other ranges you will whiff.​

​

11/77K​

is -16: Use 6A+B, WR B, or CE.​

​

44K ​

is -12: At close and mid range you can use AA, at tip range you will whiff.​

​

BRAVE EDGES​

​

BB Brave Edge on JG is -17: So 6A+B or CE.​

66B Brave Edge on JG is -23: So use your bread and butter punishes plus 66B, B+K, no 236K this time though.​

CE is -18 and forces crouch. At close and mid range use 6A+B(BE) or CE. At tip range you cannot punish. At point blank range you can also use WR B.​

Horizontals

AAB
Natsu's AAB string is a very very important move in her novelist and it is i10 and punish/ interrupt pretty much everything maxi can do. but it has a HUGE FLAW!!!. it is -14, the pushback on this move is great but isn't enough to escape maxi's CE Rest In Peace.

AA6
Not much to say about this move. i think its good if they are doing a i10 A punish
but on block its -15 so CE punish or AA if you don't have meter.

A6/A:6
A6/:6 is to me natsu's best punisher. the normal version is i16 but if the player has the execution the Just Frame is i10. fortunately if they just throw this move out witch a lot of Natsu's actually do you can CE punish this shit. make them think twice about throwing it out. but you get a AA for meter less damage. even the fact that you can punish this move is awesome get used to not letting natsu get away with this.

6AB
This string isn't exactly very good in my opinion. 6A alone is -10 so maxi can't do shit but if they do this string you can step it to natsu's right and it is an easy Just Guard I've found that it is -20 on JG on block it is -13 so all you can do there is AA.
Critical Edge Can Interrupt this string.
AA.

ON JUST GUARD -20
B+KBA
6A+B/BE Li A
CE

6AK
This is a string that is only punishable if you just guard or duck it
on JG its -14 so you can CE punish it or AA for meter less damage. Duck and punish yields the most damage and those options are
WR B+K BL KK
WR B
6A+B BE Li A BE


3A
is -13 on block so maxi can only do AA punishes but if you manage to JG this it goes from 13 to 22. I'll list some JG options
66B Li A i22
B+KBA i20
CE i14
6A+B i16

1A
i wouldn't really say this is a good step killer but all natsu players use this as a combo ender. its very slow i24 and is EXTREMELY UNSAFE at -26. that being said blocking this will put you in Crouch since it is a low. You can Answer this move with WR B+K witch is conveniently i26. Other than that you can do 6A+B or CE.
PUNISH WITH

4A
is a great poke for natsu. being i20 its extremely fast. its automatically goes into Natsu's Possession Stance and her fastest options is PO A witch is duck able so I'm going to go off PO K. you have 2 ways to punish this move. If you guard 4A no matter what move she does out of possession 6A+B will snuff it. ALL OPTIONS!!! if they go into Hover if you want to be fancy you can Catch them out of the air with WR B+K.
4A on block using the fastest move out of PO is -12 But since 6A+B somehow answers all options its pretty much Void
If you block 4A 6A+B the Natsu

WR AAA
I see this move kinda like the panic button kinda like Viola's 8A+B. Since this move is from crouch it can be kinda tricky to deal with SOMETIMES. Its a decent move but if maxi blocks it….Natsu is in for a world of hurt. On Block this string is -18 and on Just Guard its -25 it is a VERY VERY VERY easy just guard.

Her Other variation of the string is -28 on block and it puts her into Possession. If they go into Possession Make it a Habit to 6A+B Then out of it. since it stops all options.


VERTICALS

BBK
BBK is actually safe on block at -10 so you may wonder why i would put this in this guide. Well the string is Mid Mid High emphasis on HIGH. The high is VERY reactable and is very punishable on whiff.
PUNISH WITH
WR B+K
WR B
6A+B
CE

BB4A+B/BB4A+BA
You can punish this string is by Just Guarding the Bomb Low on block its -8 and on JG its -14 so you can CE punish it. But why take that risk when the Bomb Low is EXTREMELY SLOW. It Clashes with Maxi's i20 B+K so I'm gonna say the bomb is i20 lol. So if you block the BB and can Confirm The Bomb
you can Interupt that shit with some good moves.
You Can interrupt with
6A+B i16
WR B i15
3K i14
AA i12

BB 4a+bA
If you Block this its completely safe but it ends with a High so duck it.
You Can only punish this by ducking and doing 6A+B or CE

BK/BKA/BKA4
Once again another Safe on block string that ends with a High. I think we have a trend here. DUCK THIS SHIT!!!! 6A+B is the most Viable punish here.
DUCK PUNISH
WR B+K
6A+B

3B
I feel this move is pretty good. Its i16 so its pretty fast but its -18 on block meaning you can get pretty hefty damage on her if you block it. Punish with
6A+B
CE

2B
Not much i can say on this move. I see Hawkeye use it quite a bit but its -14 on block so CE This Shit

4B
A lot of natsu Players use this move and why not. its i14 and knocks down on hit. BUT its -14 on block so You can CE this.

KICKS

KKK/KK2K
I barely see Natsu Players use this move but its actually pretty fast at i13. KKK (no pun intended….) is a 3hit high string that can only be ducked on the last K. For some reason you have to block the first 2 Kicks before you duck the 3rd but if you duck it you get a free 6A+B. KK2K Same thing but if you block its -14 so you can CE Punish it
So If you block KKK and KK2k you can CE punish

3KKK
i14 -14 on block. Has Wind Roll options that if anticipated are punishable by i22 moves so I'm guessing its -22. If you block a 33K you get a CE Punish. But if they wind roll with either B+K or 2_8B+K then you get hefty punishers. It seems that Maxi's 6A+B is the Best option for punishing wind roll seeing as it tracks it Both Sides.

2K/KK
Her 2K by itself is Punishable by CE but you also have to worry about follow up makes it completely.

1K
this move is fast at i15 but its -14 so CE this shit. WARNING this is a VERY strict punish. it seems harder for some reason.

4KK
-14 CE this shit…

FC 3K/3KK
FC 3K is -16 by itself and is -16 so 6A+B if you can confirm no follow up. but the 2hit string is -9 on block aka maxi can't do shit about this…or can he? Just Guard puts this at -17 so if you can JG the 2nd hit of the string you can get the same options as the normal on block.

Jump KA
I see this move used a lot and i don't think people really know that this move is -18 and on JG its -22. Its a easy and slow JG seeing as its i37. it looks pretty deceptive looks like it the last hit should be lows but they are miss. I know that used to get me all the time. On block you have your normal Options
6A+B
CE
On Just Guard you get
B+KBA i20
3B i21
66B i22


SIMULTANEOUS PRESS


A+B
Not much you can do on this move since its -12 you only option is AA witch is i12

A+B4 is A+B but with a ninja backstep that back step makes it unsafe unlike its A+B counterpart.
its -21 but Maxi's punishment for this move is very limited and depends on the spacing. This move may be 21 but depending on correct space it can be completely safe.
Close Range
B+KBA i20
6A+B BE Li A i16 (most reliable punish)

6A+B/6A+B4
Alone 6A+B is -15 so you can CE it but what makes this even funnier is that even if Natsu goes into Possession with 6A+B4 CE BEATS ALL OPTIONS!!!!! 6A+B Destroys all options as well including Hover.


8WAYRUN MOVES


66_33_77AB/AB4
on block 66AB is -16 but it has good push back so only 6A+B BE will reach but Li A will whiff so go for the Li B Tech Trap into Li A. or if you are looking to spend meter you can CE. If Natsu does the evade into PO CE and 6A+B Destroys everything she has.


66B/66B4
66B is -16 but has insane pushback on it meaning yet again punishment is limited. at Close Range punish with 6A+B BE Li A and at Mid Range punish with CE. But if they do the 4 witch is yet again a backstop into PO, 66B her Ass it kills all options.

22_88B
its -12 so AA punish that is all

22_88KA/22_88KA4
22KA is -18 so if you block it you can do 6A+B and CE this is a really easy Just Guard as well on JG its -25 and the 4 Version into possession is even more negative at -35 you can take a pick of ANYTHING.
JG Punish with
B+KBA i20
3B i21
236K i25

66K
Every Natsu player and their Mom uses this move. you should be punishing this shit SUPER HARD its -16 its begging to be punished by 6A+B so give it what it wants or humor yourselves with a CE


BRAVE EDGE ATTACKS


66B BE
You can Duck the 2nd hit of this String and punish her hard with WR B+K BL KK or you can just do 6A+B under the 2nd hit because of the TC on the move you don't have to crouch first. OR if you are ballzy JG the BE and it Becomes -21.

A+G BE
This is a Notorious RO tactic all natsu players use and all you need to do is Break A its very easy to break on reaction also if their back is ever towards the edge of the ring it becomes a huge factor and it doesn't help that it rings out pretty far. Look for the BE flash and mash A to break it

There are Multiple ways of getting around this string. since this string is Mid High Mid you can crouch and evade and punish. on block the string is -16 so you can 6A+B and CE it. If you confirm the string you can use 6A+B to duck and get counter hit damage or you can also duck and do WR B+K. if you are ballzy you can side step to Patrokolos' left and you can do pretty much any thing you want and get back damage.​

WR K alone is -18 so if you can confirm no follow up 6A+B or CE the KA Version despite what the Wiki says is wrong it is not -16 it is -14 so CE this shit.​

​

2A+B​

you will seldom see a Pat Player use this move outside of combo but if they do its -22. This Move puts you in crouch so be careful with punish you can punish with 66B but the timing seems to be tight for some reason. If you dot feel like trying hard CE or 6A+B this.​

JS B BE​

JS B BE is safe on block but can be stepped to Pats left aka shield side or Just Guarded. On Just Guard The move is -16 so you have CE or 6A+B. If you manage to Side step the move to Pats Left it opens a lot of options. For some reason your inputs will invert since you will end up behind him when you step it so be careful with that. I've found doing 33B or 11B will just completely evade the move and they are easy to input.​

JS AB is -16 on block. This is one of Pats better step catchers but it is a huge gamble. the normal JS A is -16 but since there is a follow up i don't recommend trying to punish that. If you can confirm no follow up then 6A+B or CE. The same options go for blocking the B as well. This move is insanely easy to Just Guard, and it is -25 on JG. So prepare your punishes. Also The move can once again be stepped to Pats Left for more dmg. You can actually get some lolzy combos off on him while he is mid air.​

​

236K(Back flip)​

Not much to say about this move other than its mega unsafe and you won't see this move thrown out unless its a guaranteed combo ender. It is -18 and it gets the same treatment as the rest of the punishable moves 6A+B and good ole CE.​

This is just another version of Pyrrha's AS B but with a tech step to the right instead of a Tech Crouch. This is -20 so all punishes

Pyrrha's 66B+K i24 -8 on block ,66B+KA -18 on block,66B+KAB -16 on block.
Maxi Cant do SHIT about 66B+K But he has a Good amount of Options against the other 2 follow ups.

11_77 A/AA
To be completely honest i slept on this move untill after NEC when it was a primary tool of my demise. Just a Raw 11 A is a Low that is -12 on block you may think Maxi can 2A punish it right? Wrong..kinda, Maxi can only punish this on block at close range mid and tip ranges it will whiff and you will get bopped. If you do get hit by the 11A it is +2 on hit and has a follow up that is also a mix up. The 2nd A has a Guard break hold that is +14 on block and a normal that is -14 on block. I find this funny. If you can Confirm they are going to Hold for the you can get some EXTREME damaging Combos on her, i will list them below. If you see they do the normal follow up it is -14 on block so you know what to do.

Pyrrha AS A/ AA/ AA BE
This Move is a pretty good step catcher but is a huge risk for Pyrrha
AS A alone is -18 So punishing it is rather easy its the same frames as "Stab" and the AA is -16 So
6A+B / BE or CE would be you best options of punishment. However the BE is a Guard Break and is +4 on block.
JG that shit there is no exception when JGed this Move is 66B and 44B punishable. so thats around -29 on JG take this fuckin chance and stick it to her.

Pyrrha AS K
This Move can be pretty annoying with its super tech crouch and what not but when you know how to deal with it, it is fairly simple. This Move Super TC mids. But on block it is -29 thats almost as bad as Ezio Crossbow…Take this change to pick a punisher and destroy her. She takes a huge backflip backwards to get out of range so your options are very limited for punishment
CE
66B Li A/BE
6A+B BE hits however Li A will whiff at this moment maxi's Li B becomes a tech trap so fool around with it a little bit.


EDGE ATTACKS

OK Now Lets talk about Pyrrha's BE. Maxi has some HILARIOUS things he can do to Punish Her BE. I'll List them

Pyrrha 66B BE
The 2nd HIt of this is a Guard Break witch makes it safe but Maxi has a very good move to counter this.
Her 66B Puts maxi into FC so his answer is to do WR B+K when the BE flash Appears WR B+K puts maxi into BL so KK is a guaranteed follow up
WR B+K BL KK 66 dmg can be BE 77 dmg
Or WR B+K 2KB 59 dmg
Maxi can also interrupt her BE with his own CE as soon as 66B BE Flash appears input CE the invincibility Frames will come in handy here and it will register as counter hit damage.
CE 88dmg Counter hit 94 Clean hit 101 CH Clean Hit 107
Also I have found that you can side step the 2nd part of her 66B BE but the timing seems to be pretty tight.
i have come up with Side Step into CE
33B BL KK 69 dmg BL K BE 79
11B 64 dmg
88 into Right Side Throw BL K BE 94 dmg
22 and get a free back throw 70 dmg
22144/88744B RO B RC B 63 dmg RC B BE LI A 91 dmg
Also Maxi Can use his 8B+K witch will Side step right out of the BE and will Put him into LI He won't Be able to get any Damage this way but he can PSL 2 into BL for BL K and BL B mix up or can take a shot at a LI Mix Up with LI K LI A. also can PSL 1 into LO idk why you would want to do that though since the nearest Guard cancel requires him to go into RC.

SEIG STANCE BREAKDOWN


Base Hold
AGI Stance. Impacts Weapon Horizontals. Has fairly bad entrances on block. Fastest option from SBH is SBH K at i14 and it is unsafe. Safe exit option is SBH B at i30 and is easy to react to and steppable.

AA ~SBH
CE beats all options including 2_8B+K
6A+B Beats all options but SBH K it will clash.

You can duck AA on reaction and punish with WS B+K,6A+B, 236K,ect

2, ~SBH
CE Beats all options at all ranges.
6A+B beats all options but clashes with SBH K

2[A+B]
CE beats all options at all ranges
WS B+K beats all options but trades with SBH A

SRSH (K) ~ SBH
This isn't even a mix up blow this up with 6A+B, CE, WS B+K this.


Chief Hold
A versatile stance used for reverse mix-ups, combos, spacing, and whiff punishment. Most Siegfried players will try to spend a lot of time in this stance because of its relative strength and versatility, though they will usually limit entrances to WR , 66k[BE], and 22k[A].

MAXI CRITICAL EDGE BLOWS UP THIS STANCE ENTIRELY

3(B) / WR (B) ~ SCH (most used entrances)
Critical Edge DESTROYS this.
WS B+K beats all options but sometimes trades with Realign SCH B
33~6A+B Beats all options

11 ~SCH
Critical Edge DESTROYS this.
WS B+K beats all options but sometimes trades with Realign SCH B
33~6A+B Beats all options
Normal 6A+B trades with SCH K in Maxi's favor giving him full counter hit dmg and a knockdown.

44B
Anything i21 or faster will beat out every option from CH
Examples
B+K JF i20
6A+B i16
CE i14

66K BE~
2_8 6A+B Beats all options. Though a little strict to do.
You should be JGing this BE in general.


Side Hold
Typically used because of its powerful whiff punisher in SSH BBB, Side Hold is greatly weakened when entered on block, because half of the entrances move you forward into the stance, and the stance itself does not give great rewards to Siegfried for guessing correctly on a reverse mix-up. However, it can potentially be used to blindside an opponent to end the round because of its lack of use.

[A]/ 22kA[A]~ SSH
6A+B Beats All options
CE beats all options but SSH K

6[A]~SSH
66A stops all options
6A+B will whiff unless Seig attacks from the stance.

WR[A] ~SSH
6A+B beats all options
WS B+K beats all options except SCH A

A+B ~SSH
At close range 2nd hit whiffs.
6A+B Beats all option​

​

Reverse Side Hold
Siegfried's reverse mix-up stance. Against a character with good meter punishment, the stance becomes less effective as the match drags on. Because of this, you're likely to see this stance most often at the beginning or at the end of a round. The entrances into this stance on block are very poor, and all but one have an option that beats every action Siegfried can take.

Ag[A]~SRSH
B+K JF beats all options except SRSH 2_8B+K
66B Beats all options except SRSH 2_8B+K
6A+B beats all options
CE beats all options


44[A] ~SRSH
B+K JF beats all options except SRSH 2_8B+K
66B Beats all options except SRSH 2_8B+K
6A+B beats all options
CE beats all options
*Duck this on reaction since it is i33 for WS B+K or WR B punishes*

HORIZONTALS

AAK
This is a High High Mid String that is Key to effective xiba play so countering this move is essential in the match up. Lets start by saying if you block the first hit of the string you can Duck the 2nd Hit with 6A+B, also iWR B+K also works on this string but the timing being a little tight for it to hit before the K comes out. If you want to be flashy you can duck the 2nd Hit and grab Xiba for a Back Throw for 70 Dmg.

Xiba Players love to whore this out and for good reason. It is a very Hit Confirmable move that leads to big damage with meter. But lets talk ways to make xiba players not wanna touch the move. 6A alone is -12 on block so an AA punish is good for poke damage, you can also use this to stop the K follow up and leave them back turned. Its also widely know that you can INT the follow up "K" with a 2A and attempt a Back Throw. But i don't see many players stepping this attack. You can step this to Xiba's left resulting in a free back throw among any other punishes you can think of B+K JF ect.

Summery: AA and 2A stop the K follow up in its tracks as well as being i12 Punishers for free damage, witch also leave Xiba back turned for a good Mix Up. Also Can be stepped to Xibas' left also resulting in xiba being back turned.


1A
I decent low i would say. Maxi can't Punish this move at long range but at Mid Range it can be punished hard. This move is i29(SLOW AS FUCK) and -17 on block. If blocked at close range 6A+B BE Punish it. At Mid Range CE Punish. Long range you can't do shit.

Summery: Decent low i would say but i29 is way to slow to be effective. -17 on block and can't be punished at long range.
Mid and Close Range Punish with
CE
6A+B BE


4A
This move is very good in my opinion TC and TS move. This move can be rather annoying and its actually pretty safe on block -13. 4A has a good bit of Push Back and Maxi can only get a single A punish for 10 damage. meh take it where you can get it

Summery: Move is pretty much safe against Maxi at Mid and Long. At close range all maxi can do is A punish for 10 damage.




VERTICALS

6BK
This Move suffers from the same weakness as 6AK but only difference is that AA won't be able to stop it since 6B is -8 instead of -12. 2A still works. Another difference is that this Variant can't be stepped at all. Keep that in mind when effectively trying to deal with this attack. I forgot to mention in the 6AK section but this string is extremely susceptible to Just Guard and can be punished pretty hard for poor Hit Confirms.

Summery: Move suffers from the same 2A back turn mix up. Cant be stepped like the other version. String is very easy to JG and on JG you can BT B+K 2KB punish for 66 dmg.



3BKK
Another Key move in Xiba's Move list. Maxi destroys this move, with 2 Moves WR B+K and 6A+B. Due to WR B+K Outrageous TS,TC, and tracking ability it will completely put maxi behind xiba and set Maxi up with a free follow up BL KK. Your other option is the always faithful 6A+B witch will TC the K. Those are your 2 goto and most effective options but Maxi as usual has some flashy and funny options as well. 236K and 2_8B+K can also avoid the kicks.

Summery: A good move but can be easily countered by Maxi. WR B+K and 6A+B Destroy this move. there are no worries at all.




KICKS

3K
I never see Xiba Players use this move but its -15 on block and CE punishable



3kB
Sadly this is i think Xiba's best Punisher at i16 its pretty good but its -18 on block and begs to be punished when its throw out. When blocked make sure to punish with 6A+B and if you have meter Hit them with CE just to add insult to injury.

Summery: Good Punisher but thrown out wildly it begs to be punished Punish with
CE
6A+B



2K
generic 2k -14 on block CE if you can its a pretty tight punish.


WR K
Xiba Players use this move a lot i have seen and on block its -13 so AA punish this


Jump K
I rarely see Xiba players use this outside of combos but when its used its -16 so 6A+B the fuck outta this.

SIMULTANEOUS PRESS

A+B/ A+BB/ A+BBK
A+B is -14 A+BB is -21and A+BBK can be Interupted by anything i17 or faster. That being said lets talk punishment. This Move is very easy to punish since the animations are very easy to identify. Personally unless you know they won't follow up i would just wait for the A+BB version since its -21 and can be punished the Hardest. The full string can be interrupted by quite a few moves 6A+B and 1B RO AK for example. The K can also be stepped for other options

Summery: A very easy move to punish the animations are very easy to ID.
A+B -14
CE Punish This Shit

A+BB -21
AA i12
6A+B i16
B+KBA i20
3B i21

A+BBK Interupt the K follow up with
1B RO K 58 damage
6A+B BE LI A 85 DMG


2A+B
This Move is rare to see outside of combos as well but if they are stupid enough to throw this out its -14 so CE punish it



WD A+B
This Move is hilarious. Im not gonna lie i get hit by this sometimes rushing a xiba on wakeup. This low is i36 so you shouldn't ever get hit by it and its actually -30 on block. Meaning you can possibly punish xiba for 100+ depending on your luck.

Summery: Very slow low that is very react able. You should always be on the look out for this move. on block its -30 tell your opponent to prepare their Anus
Punish With
CE i14
6A+B i16
B+KBA i20
3B i21
236K i25
44B RO B RC AB BE Li A BE i29


BT B+K A.K.A The Dickining
This move again won't be used outside of combos but if it is its -16 so 6A+B and CE this move.



8WAYRUN MOVES

33_77A/AA
I see this move used a lot as a poke and i don't understand why. This move is i27 and easy to see coming. 33A is -20 while the AA version is -24. If you block this you are in Crouch So you have 2 Options. A 6A+B or B CE Take your pick.

22A/22AB
On block 22A is -13 so AA punish it. while 22AB is -14 you can tag Xiba with a CE

66BBB
All i have to say about this move is side step the 2nd Hit and punish it and if you decide to block the entire string you get a free 6A+B and CE since its -17

22B
You will see this move a lot VS a Xiba player and punishing this is crucial. This move is -16 -16 so ready up your 6A+B and punish it.

66K/66KB
This string is actually pretty good i would say. Its a very easy hit confirmable step killer. 66K alone is -12 and the full string is -16 so no matter what maxi can punish this move.

22K
If you block this move its -16 6A+B or CE this.


BRAVE EDGES

6AK/ 6B K BE A+BBK BE
These are all the same brave edge and all suffer the same weakness they can be interrupted by 2A There is no reason to fear This BE at all

33A BE
-17 on Block so 6A+B this

Critical Edge
XIba's CE is -21 on Block so you can punish with a lot of moves here are your options
CE i14
6A+B
B+KBA i20
3B i21

REMEMBRANCE

This Stance GIs ALL Horizontals no matter what they are. if it comes in horizontally it will be Gied. That Being said xiba has 4 way to enter RM.22A 3 3A and B+K. in RM Xiba has 4 Options a TJ Low K RM B, His Step Catcher A and B the mid. To be completely honest Maxi has nothing to worry about when dealing with this stance. Maxi's 6A+B DESTROYS THIS STANCE. No matter what entrance Maxi's 6A+B Stops All options. If you can confirm the RM entrance 6A+B beats it. WR B+K also beats all options from the stance.

Summery: 6A+B Destroys it. There is nothing Xiba can do.
