This is really unfair to Xianghua; her fighting style was unique, and she only had one move to do with crybabies, I hope to god she toughened up her daughter. Xianghua can be good when you utilize her stuns and crouching grabs and she is the bane of Yoshimitsu. You gotta give her credit for some of her usefulness.

What’s unfair? X is my secondary. I like X. I also like crybaby. Hence my comment “Seriously though, I both want and expect her to have crybaby.” The posts above are just kidding around about the SCV wishlist for X for L. Nobody is putting down her style or movelist.

Really I have no idea at all where your comment is coming from.

I mean as in I don't want her crybaby to return. I hate it although she's my main.
 
Crybaby and SXS are pretty much X's signiture moves, I'd be surprised to see them go. It'd be like a new alexandra not having an overpowered 236B =/ (Jks)
As speculation - do we think L will be keeping mommy's crouch throws?
 
Yeah, of course she should keep the crouch throws... They were a gift from Namco for X, so Leixia should have those as well imo ;)
 
I'd happy with a tech throw from SXS or a low like someone said. To me X always felt she was missing 1 explosive move. Just one to put fear into someone. Something she could kind of build around or count on, as aposed to using every part of her movelist for certain situations.
 
I would love if they gave Leixia that move where she side steps and then spins her sword in hand thus launching the opponent in the air for a potential air juggle combo.

Oh, and I really hope they give her X's wall game moves. nothing better than putting your opponent against the wall at least 3 times before they hit the ground and still hitting them while they're downed. ahhh the good times.
 
X's strength by far is her ability to initiate an attack and be almost completely safe with about 90% of her movelist. You pretty much can't go wrong when you play her if you stick to her bread and butter. If they can add perhaps a stance or transition(s) that can give her more of a complex and water-like style, she will have achieved what they were going for in the first place.

I liked the idea in 4 to have an easy transition to a stance but I feel it just highlighted her silly nature and gave her a couple decent options. I would hope for a dynamic like character similar to Lei-Fei from Virtua Fighter. Would that be too much of a change?
 
i found Lei Fei annoying though. That is the monk guy right? He reminds me of mitsu or taki when it comes to him going into a stance and constantly poking at you.
 
He's super annoying like X. As far as 3d FGs go he's pretty much the epitome of a complex character that can be played very effectively without losing an edge because he wanted to be flashy. I feel Leixia can also go in this direction.
 
I hope not. I don't like playing as characters that go to much into being flashy and that's why I let go of maxi after SC2. X was bearable because her main show off move was controllable and it only happened if the player wanted it to.
 
I mean unnecessary movements like maxi swinging his nun-chuck around. X has that taunt she does after her pose. its unnecessary but only happens if you want it to. well it charges her pose to make the moves you do from it stronger I guess so it does have a point. maxi just shows off.
 
i liked the idea of SXS but having to gain charges to do her (imo) useful move (throw/GB B) from it is kinda lame . Doing it from moves seems more fluid to me and matches her i think. While you don't get any frame adv. you do get mental adv. I mean how many time have you landed A,A, B<--- because you have someone expecting SXS or landing ch SXS A or K because someone was expecting you to finish a move, saw SXS and was like oh shit! and tried to hit you or something ASAP?

So IMO keep SXS fluid but lose the charges and keep B a guard break because it is slow already compared to A & K

*put in right thread

I liked the charges T_T

Anyway everyone has a soul gauge now, so I imagine any such buffed moves will occur as a result of that, e.g. Waterfall could be buffed using Brave Edge for the guard crush

I am starting to get pumped for this game
 
Actually I liked the way SXS worked but it was very slow. I got no problem with it and I love its uniqueness (even the taunts which actually give you three 3 stocks)...
I believe that X lacked JF moves. She should have more than that 1 she already does. Her style is for quick-dancy stuff.
 
Said it once, saying it again, my dears!
The style X uses is an heirloom, same as the sword!
Xianghuas sword will be L's 1P wep......
So i believe it will be a Taki/Natsu case with the X and L....
WHICH I AM NOWHERE NEAR COMPLAINING ABOUT! <3
 
I'll be a happy camper if Leixia still has X's SXS inputs. Btw, AWESOME VIDEO! Maybe most of Leixia's attacks could involve somersaults and even more nimbler movements.
