Leixia Matchup

[Pernicious-Soul]

While this is certainly a winnable matchup, her safety, evasiveness and speed can be a bitch to fight against. A couple of moves I've found to be useful for Nightmare are 9k, a+b, 66k, iaga and good spacing. You gotta jump her GB stab to the foot, a+b blows up a lot of her shit, although 66k GS is punishable a lot of Leixia players spam out her AA moves cause their extremely fast so use 66k to TC it. Since she is very safe working on her gauge can be a good idea. Strong safe moves from u like iaga, GS b, 66b and 44b will work the gauge very well. Any suggestions on strategies or moves I should be using?

Space her. IMO this match-up is heavily in NM's favor in 5.

Leixia loses this on character select.

Match start, eat that bitch like a sandwich.

When they buff Leixia's launcher damage, she will be fearsome to Nightmare however and will pull the match-up back to 5/5 or 6/4 in her favor.
