Against Xiba:
  • :A+B: can aGI:
    • :3::B: if you can make a good read.
    • :8::(8):/:2::(2)::A:,:B: if you block the first hit and press :A+B: before the second.
      • Be wary of :8::(8):/:2::(2)::A:,:(B): mix-up.
    • :6::(6):/:3::(3):/:9::(9)::B:,:B:,:B:.
      • If you block the first hit press :A+B: before the second.
      • If you block the first two hit and input :A+B: before the last one.
    • :8::(8):/:2::(2)::B: with a good read and good timing.
    • :6::(6)::K:,:B: after blocking first hit.
