And also you can get hit out of 44B if they use a long enough ranged attack. Leixia =/= Mitsu.
Rugi and his hitboxes...oh boy. And even better, his is safe. Why isn't Leixia's safe? It's like a thousand times worse...

Her only real hole is her damage potential. WR B BE was just so good that it overrode that problem. They took it away from her, and now she's just bleh.

I also feel as though she's rather gimmicky. She can be sort of transparent. But this could be because most of her tricks yield little reward outside of a few. I love how her thing was supposed to be those feint break attacks and only one is remotely usable and still gets your shit ruined if used against someone with half decent reaction time.
It's not a thousand times worse <_< Stop whining.
-12 vs -22 on block
38 vs 26 damage
pushback vs no pushback
good evasion vs you-can-get-hit-still
breaks guard + safe on block vs Breaks guard + stupid unsafe
tracks both sides vs tracks to one side
lalala fun times
But srs when I looked at mitsu's 4B frames for the first time I laughed because I finally got the "a better leixia" comparison.
But Leixia isn't Xianghua. Far less mixup potential, less damage, less variety, overall just.. she can't even be classified as a shadow of Xianghua. That's not even a good argument for making ANY character bad. Just because a previous iteration was OP doesn't mean you have to make the successor suck. There is no such thing as video game character karma. Mitsu said Hi. e_e Wasn't he God in 4? And I think he was good at 2. Not sure about 3.Yeah. Exactly. Uggh. Namco needs to stop sucking that Rugi...
Anyway, everybody knows they'll just justify it with SCI-III Xianghua. >>

No dude we got that 6 damage on our critical edge <_< Don't lie.Which is why I said they need to stop sucking Rugi....
And, yup, there's no such thing as Video Game Karma. Correct as well. 1.01 Leixia, though widely used, didn't win anything. Didn't need to be nerfed in the first place. If they did nerf her, they didn't have to nerf every aspect.
"Let's make WRB BE more unsafe, do less guard break damage, not break guard, nerf the impact, nerf the damage, nerf the dodge speed, and not give them ANYTHING back!"
"Yeah!"
Seriously...people these days...
Because it SLIGHTLY makes the ukemi situation after her guard break combo better. But, you know, since you use that move twice in the combo itself, you miss out on 8 damage when her damage is already abysmal. sure, 4 damage isn't huge, but any damage taken from her is unjustified. It was uncalled for.Honestly I seriously couldn't ever understand that BT B+K change. Why does it launch higher? @_@

I adore this thread. Keep up with that positivity. Shinji, Reave, and anyone else out there that really, *TRULY* know Leixia? Go to more tourneys. Please? I'll give you all the cookies and intrawebz I have if you do <3

Tracking is mostly irrelevant with Leixia's 44B. I think it's only really tracked for me maybe twice. And it's so negative on block that you don't even need to step it.The fact that those moves have any tracking is retarded. :/

A difference of opinion doesn't necessitate hostility, sir. I was in the same place(metaphorically) when Tira was nerfed into a reasonable character from the uber beast she was in 1.01, but then I really looked at it and realized how awesome she still is(pre-EVO mind you). What I'd like to see is the same thing occur with everyone that's doomsaying Leixia as a character: realize she's still quite valid and competitive.
Well last I checked he was top with Hilde and Amy and Kilik(?). Perhaps it was an inaccurate or outdated tier list. I do know however that he was pretty good in 4 <_<
