SoulCast #24: The NerfCast

  • Moderator
How fitting that we should talk about some Leixia right after a Leixia player wins a major. Coincidence? Not really. For this episode, ZeroEffect was kind enough to come on and share a lot of his Leixia knowledge. He also has some supplementary stuff that you can dig into if you're looking to keep learning about Leixia. In other words, we gots lots of stuff for you!

Also, I forgot to ask him for a goofy title for this episode, so since the balance patches ruffled a lot of feathers with Leixia players, and the fact that we discuss the patch and those nerfs, it felt like a good title.


I should apologize for the lack of ft5s. It's definitely a fun thing to do, but I've been a little strapped for time. Recording those and getting them uploaded takes up a few hours, at least, so sometimes it's hard to find time. But, there are plenty of vids out there. :)

Also, once again, shoutouts to SCTier. I made reference to MtFighter, so if you want to hear from him, definitely go check out that episode.

LASTLY, I made reference at the end to an artist that I'm trying to spread the word about. He does excellent work, and for those out there that like to build/mod sticks, I'm sure he can work with you to do some stuff to make the top look super baller. Support small business! :)

Great podcast, ZeroEffect, I'm sorry for overdefending Leixia. I just hated the constant whining in the Leixia SA. Some of my post project me as a bad person, but I'm not. I'm just someone who's going to prove that Mick & MTFighter aren't the only Leixia players that can win a major with her. I'm going to ECT 5 to prove it.
 
Character specific 6BA AT combo list
Works on:
Leixia, Natsu, both Pyrrhas, Nightmare, Maxi, Mitsurugi, Yoshimitsu, Dampierre, Xiba, Cervantes, Voldo (front stance only) and Aeon.

Doesn't work on:
Ivy, Sieg, Astaroth, ZWEI, Both Pats, Viola, Ezio, Hilde, Tira, Algol, Raphael

(For Edgemaster, Elysium, or Kilik, if they mimic one of the styles in the top row, they get hit. If not, they can block. In case anyone cares about those 3)

Poor Raph XD Not even mentioned.

Anyways, awesome podcast xiang and ZeroEffect, thanks for doing one for Leixia. Think one for Yoshimitsu or Raphael could be one of the next ones?

I swore I had Raph on there, oh well. Fixed. Doesn't work on him either.
 
Shoutouts to the other people that have helped me in my time here as a player or just within 8WR.

Greatone - I dunno how or when it happened, but you've become one of the faces of this community. To my knowledge no one has anything bad to say about you. And it's the cool thing to do, so I'm shouting you out, lol.

OmegaXcn - Always grateful for any support I do get since it's not everyday that I see it. So shoutouts to you as well. Hope to be able to get some more offline matches.

MTFighter - You get a shoutout due to putting up with my frustrations with this game, or more specifically my progress in it, without completely dismissing me like a lot of others tend to.

Bibulus, JJJ, Malice, 350z, Rigel - The rest of the Philly/SJ crew. Of course without you guys, I'd have no one to practice with so I wouldn't be here. Also it's good to hang with you all even without Calibur. You all have probably believed in me more than anyone else. And in the case of JJJ, I wouldn't even have a copy of SCV if it wasn't for you, lol.

Avylon group - Always good to see a group of new players getting into the offline scene as hungry as you all are. Hope to be able to get down to GCC for more offline games.

Kalas & Hyrul - What list would be complete without the other two Leixia players that I rolled with from the beginning? Shoutots to you two for your advice and videos as we've learned to level this character up.

ShinjiUrahara - Same thing to you. I don't see many vids or forum activity from you, but you've also been a Leixia player from the start who didn't drop her for patches. And you've showed me respect as well.

JustinAkatsuki(EyeofCalamity) - Shoutouts to you for being one of the only good people to talk to on this forum for the last few weeks. You may not yet be a tournament player, but you have my respect for the support you showed when I'd all but left this community for dead.

Aneudy - Yo man, I dunno if you even read these, but shoutouts to you too. Always a pleasure coming down to get some games in with you either online or offline. You've helped me to learn some things about my playstyle.

Ramon - Hey, gotta give credit where it's due. We may clash in terms of our personalities, but you have always had my respect in this game. Playing you back in SC4 made me want to improve that much more.

Hubbs - Again, you've been a big part in my journey as a tournament player. You've opened your house to me and the rest of the Philly/South Jersey crew for years. So thanks for that.
 
Just to clarify for those unaware, the patch/nerfs segment is towards the last part of the podcast. In spite of it being named nerfcast, it's not even half the discussion, lol.
