How to build meter

I always had the feeling that Leixia's one of the characters that builds meter fastest. So I took a look at it in training mode and here's what I got.

The number always indicates how long it takes to build up for the first bar - so they always stand for HALF a Brave Edge, since one Brave Edge indicates two small bars. If you say that the amount of meter used for one Critical Edge equals 100%, then those numbers equal 25%.

Notes:
First, I'm sorry but I'm too bored to make it look more beautifully.
On hit and on block, 15 is always the worst number.
<2 means that with 2 hits you build a little more than 25%, the same for <3,4 etc.


Best moves on hit (3 or less):
44[A], 44AB, 6BA, 6BaB, 3B, 4B-series, 66BB-series, 22B, 44B, WS B, FC 3B, FC 3bB, 22kA-series, 44K, 6A+B, 4A+B-series, 3B+K, 3B+KK, 2B+K, 1B+K, 8B+K, throws

Best moves on block (5 or less):
AAB, 44[A], 44AB, 6BaB, 44BBK, 66BBB, 44B, WS B, 22kA-series, 44K, 4A+BB, 3B+KK, 2B+K


2. Meter gain with combos
(Due to Leixia building meter so fast, the numbers here equal 100% meter, so one Critical Edge!!!)
Random order

3B_22B_FC3B 3B+K - 6
3B_22B_FC3B 3B+KK (forced block) - <5

44[A] 6BA 6BA - <4

CH 1A ~ 3B ~ 3B+K - <5
CH 1A ~ 3B ~ 3B+KK (forced block) - <4

4A+B ~ 3B - 5
4A+B ~ 66K - <8

feint stab ~ 33BB - <5

FC3bB ~ 6KK - <7
FC3bB ~ 33BB - <6

CH 66BB ~ 33BB - 5

BT B+K ~ 33BB - <8

CH 8B+K ~ BT B+K ~ 33BB - <5

4K ~ 3B - 10
 
2B+K hitting the opponent on the ground seems to build a big chunk. It doesn't do any damage though, but I guess if you try to use the quake in a tech trap, and they don't get up, it still benefits you.
 
Am I the only one who cautiously tries to build meter with 2B+K? Sometimes it can be safe, most of the time it's not.

I had no idea 22kA series built so much meter. I gotta start using those

You shouldn't overuse it though. It's pretty easy to JG. But you can hitconfirm the 22kA for the follow-up.

Good to know, I haven't checked that! 2B+K hitting a grounded opponent counts as if you hit a standing opponent. So it builds 25% in 2 hits. Finally something good about the ground stun. :)

This makes some moves I've been neglecting a lot more attractive.

44K looks really really good. Too bad its TJ (tech jump) frames start so late, you can't use it to jump over lows/low strings on reaction. =/
 
44K has always been good. It's use is not really as a TJ but as a Frame trap starter and Guard Crush. (It's 0 on block and forces them in crouch) Also beats GI's (it's a slow move) and backstep (she moves forward). KND and meter build are just bonuses, imo.
