Leixia CE Interrupts

Also, can someone test any of these strings for me?
Yoshi
- 3AB/3A BE (has a delay)
- 66A BE
- 6KK
- FC 1KK series

Zwei
- 3AA (has a delay)

Omega
- 11AA (has delay)

Alpha
- FC 3B:B

Works against Yoshis 66A BE, 6KK, but nothing else of your list. But I wouldn't use it against either of those: His 66A BE can be stepped on reaction on punished more easily with more damage, and his 6KK can be interrupted and punished more easily with more damage (3B).

The idea of this thread is great, but I don't think that interrupt CE is the best answer to all of the moves listed in the first post.
I personally think it's great against Violas 44A BE (because Leixia can't step it), ZWEIs 66A+B, Ivys 22(B) and Astas 4K-series (because Leixia can't escape the mixup by stepping at closerange). Great to know this stuff.

Ok thanks. With Asta 4KK, Leixia's 6B also works at close range to interrupt. (2A also works unless he does the crouch throw)

As for the list of the moves, you're right. It's true that in some cases you're better off beating strings by stepping/Ducking/JGing/etc. But I also think it's good idea to know this, just because it prevents any sort of "mixup" between using the whole string and not using it. (ie: Mitsu 3B BE).

It's not something that will be game-breaking since Leixia won't have a full CE every time, but I personally like the fact that you don't need to let unsafe moves go unpunished out of fear they might finish a string.
 
You're right, 6B also works, but the timing is really tricky here.

Exactly. That's where interrupt CE is great. But that's not the case for every move in the list.
 
Still, I figure we should just find whatever we can and single out the most practical ones afterward. (maybe put a star next to them or something, I dunno...) Then I can put those in some kind of video.

I think a complete punishment video with each character should include CE as interrupt for certain strings like Mitsu's FC1BB(first hit is -12), Leixia's WS A+B Series(first hit is -18), Leixia's 66BB series when JG, Leixia's 22_88kAA series(third hit is -12), and Leixia's 11_77A series(first hit is -16) and even on hit it interrrupted because it -4 on hit.
 
Leixia can probably just AA (and AAB/BE hit CH confirm) out of Mitsu FC 1BB, right? Or does FC 1B on its own push out too far for AA to punish?
 
Raph 3B/3B~Prep stance - Punishes 3B and interrupts stance. If for some reason it trades whiffs vs Prep A+B, you still get a free AA. Best to attempt this inside max range
 
Yeah you can do those, but the original purpose for this thread was to find moves that CE punishes on the first hit, while also interrupting the followups.

I personally like AA BE vs Maxi 3rd hit, and stepping vs Pyrrha's 3rd. Especially if near an edge or wall. That shit ends games.
 
I started using one of the more useful interrupts today in some online matches (ZWEI 66A+B).

I guess I will start testing/practicing more stuff in the future (for EBO), maybe I'll find something new... but maybe not lol.

CE is not guaranteed against ZWEI 66A+B as far as I know. A slightly charged 66A+B beats CE, though it makes it possible to step I think. So there's a second tier of mindgames but it's not guaranteed.

CE beats all 66A+B variants. 66A+B during an EIN cooldown is -19
 
No Hyrul is right. There is a timing where CE gets interrupted. It also makes it so she can't step/1B+K either. But it's very strict timing, almost JF like. You can sort of do a slightly delayed CE to stop it, but again, it's coming down to an unlikely read
 
You can interrupt Siegfried's CH A between the two hits with her CE.
His CH A his even safe to her CE on JG, so a CE interrupt might be worth considering.

Do you also know the situation where Siegfrieds hits you with his CH A (after moves like 3(B) on midrange) but his second A swing whiffs? If the first swing pushes you away so far that his second swing will whiff, you can whiffpunish with CE.

This could be nice for 22B (or 228B for a larger step to the same direction) to be used against Siegs 3B on midrange, because the only horizontal from his stance guarantees Leixia a CE if it hits.

EDIT1: It's already on the first page in Heaton's post that you can interrupt CH A/[A].

EDIT2: Maxis WR B+K. Yes.

- 66BB/66BB[BE]
You can punish the first hit with CE, but if Ezio does the 2nd part you'll both whiff each other... So at least you're not risking anything by throwing it out there.
