Leixia Punishment Guide

CyberBizzle said:
Ok, hate to be the n00b here, but I'm unfamiliar with the terminology, and I can't find a place on the forums that really explains it. I, of course know what A, B, and K mean...but what are the numbers in the move notation? Directions, I assume. Can someone key me in?
Click to expand...
The numbers are directions, and each one is like reading the numbers on a keypad.
7 8 9
4 5 6
1 2 3

Take 5 as being neutral, and trace the direction to get to the rest of the numbers. (Ex: Going down from 5 gives you 2, so 2 is the down button)
 
Could any of the moderators group all the character-specific lists in the first post please? Would be better not to look up the whole thread everytime.

I'm already working on that. I'll have a separate completed punishment chart stickied with everything we found in this thread.

Request: How to punish Viola.

(And punishes for Hilde, Voldo and Yoshimitsu are missing too.)

Already did the testing for those characters as well, just have to copy/paste them in the thread.
 
I already did Hilde & Yoshi before.

At first I edited it in the post above, but I think this "Easter Egg" deserves an own.

Unlike SC4, where you couldn't jump over shit with 9K, in SC5 the TJ activates really early. So, we have an i17 TJ.
There are several moves/strings in the game where we now can use 9K to punish the move itself and interrupt the quick low-follow-up.

We can 9K carelessly (to punish and interrupt) after (on block of course):
Siegfrieds WS A
Siegfrieds 1A/SRSH 1A
Raphaels A+B
Pyrrhas 236A
Ivys 6B8 or 6KB
Ivys A+B

Maybe I forgot some, don't know.
 
About Viola, there are a number of situations where, when she has the orb out, she can use 6B+K to make a lot of her unsafe moves safe. This makes it so that you have to keep blocking since the orb hits separately behind you while Viola is attacking.
 
Yep.

I'd like to add something out of gratitude for the Leixia peeps contributing.

Freebie of lulz(well for you Leixia users or anyone else for that matter). If you aren't in point blank range of Yoshi's CE, you can GI it. Basically wait until he spins at you then interrupt with a GI.

If you're stingy with your meter Leixia users, 9K to interrupt his spin, but wait until he spins at you.


Pocky Yoshi pouts haha.

Edit: You can 9K his CE at point blank range. Wait until he spins at you.

Normally you'd just block it for the FC 3B dmg. But this is great for when you can't afford blocking it with your gauge flashing red.

Np. Imho as a Yoshi player, the CE has some weaknesses. When I heard Kalas(iirc) saying us Leixias can 9K over certain low attacks, I was like gotta test my theory and lo and behold, Leixia has a good 9K to TJ his CE.

In general, you'd probably see us Yoshis use the CE only as a whiff punisher(chance to exploit maybe) or GI then CE(same here).

But a stray Yoshi CE as of now should not scare you Leixias no more. Though remember to call the failed CE "a pouting spin" haha.

I'd like to, but I'm already behind on two projects for SC.
One is my frame trap guide, and the other is a video on Option-Selects.

There was a punishment guide I had written up. But then I discovered the problem of SET 6B+K screwing with frames so I never actually posted it. I'll probably have to redo it eventually.
 
Tip against Viola:

- crybaby
- crybaby more
- if you have a huge lifelead, put yourself on the ground with 1[A] and crybaby
- duck 2nd hit of her 66AA or 4A+B it
- GI the 2nd hit of her 44A BE, Leixia can't step it
- never get hit by anything, especially not the orb
- and crybaby
