Sorry for the double-post.
I do badly in neutral situations; I have a tendency to attack with a predictable rhythm. I explicitly avoid thinking about my rhythm, because if I have to spend mental CPU cycles on something as basic as when to attack, then how am I supposed to think about anything else?It seemed that you just had an unlucky round (or possibly your opponent took advantage of the *awkward silence*). I dub it *awkward silence* because it's a weird time frame where both your opponent and you are either in a neutral stance or blocking and decide to attack at nearly identical times. This is more of a read on countering your opponent by taking a guess at when they are going to attack.
I don't know how to do this effectively as Leixia. It feels like when I try to press my aggression, it's just an invitation to get interrupted, and that's what tends to happen, as you noted. I can press my aggression very easily as Pyrrha. But when I do so as Leixia, I just tend to get hit for it. I don't know why. There was one match where I was able to do this with flying colors at Youmacon, against an Ivy player (Ivy normally runs all over me, too), but I don't remember the details of what I did and why, and nobody recorded it. Whatever temporary wisdom I had there is all gone now.As for advice, I would have either become more aggressive (kick 'em in the face fo disrespectin yo mixup options and attacking while negative)
I've been trying to focus on movement-based defense for a while. Moving in and out. Because I'm stubborn and refuse to study frames (study *anything*, really... I just don't like to study. I like to pay attention and figure stuff out that way, and it's gotten me through school and everything else in life, but this game tends to punish people who try to do that)... if I get whiff punishes, I don't need frames. I also have a lot of trouble reacting to lows and throws. Even Nightmare 1A hits me consistently offline.or focus more on defense and look for opportunities to punish negative moves and whatnot.
What bounds? Anything that helps me figure this crap out...Hope that helped, and sorry if I overstepped my bounds, I find myself choking against high and low level players all the time so your not alone XD.
