Xiba Non-Gameplay Discussion Thread

Frames in wiki ? why are they still blank ?

o wait there is no current SA mod right now. Surprised that such a popular character no one wants to do the community any good and just grind through it

Are you saying that Xiba should become Nightmare? That would be too funny because not only will he need souls but also food as well. He'll consume everything.

Not "Nightmare" persay. Just a little crazy.

Actually, Evil Seed had caused him and his weapon (as stated on his SC1 profile) to still be under the demonic influence after killing Xianglian. Under the help of Edge Master, Kilik was able to train himself into controlling his sanity with Dvapara-Yuga, which is now a necklace.

As of now, Xiba contains Kali-Yuga, while Leixia contains Dvapara-Yuga. With neither of them knowing what to do with them, nor knowing what is contained within Kali-Yuga, it can be believed that Xiba might fall to that same condition as well. This is unless Kilik, somehow, purified it's evil energy.

Not to mention the whole "evil energy" thing stated about Xi-Ba and his birth.

Sorry, I guess I didn't explained it clear. Xianghua gave birth to Kilik's child, and discovered that he was infected with the evil energy, as he inherited from Kilik. She asked Edgemaster for help, and he introduced Kong Xiuqiang to her, telling her to entrust the child to him. Trusting on the words of her father, she did so. Xiba is not mentioned by name, but since Kong is the one who raised and trained him, it's quite obvious he is the child in question.

I would love to see this develop in the future. Leixia's role of helping him would be pretty interesting as well. Like a 2.0 of Kilik and Xianglian, but something we can at least be able to see.
 
You mean just stand there right? Because it dosent hit laying opponents...and believe me, a 236 input would be much more offective, xiba wouldn't have to be in neutral to execute it, imagine if pyrrha's 236b was xibas 3b~k, it wouldn't be so effective

A simple upgrade would Improve xiba.... His 3~kb needs to be 236b... All top characters posess 236 or 214 inputs

Viola? Algol?

Why do you want it anyway, 3BKK is better in almost every conceivable way. Also, this character does not need any improvement, lol.
 
Viola and Algol is powerful enough anyways...And the k's in 3bkk can be ducked...and xiba's 3bkk is defiantly not on par with a pyrrha's 236b... That 236 makes all the difference in a match

I don't understand why they was 3kB to be 236B, but Xiba absolutely needs help.

I disagree.

Xiba's strengths:
Good range.
Good antistep.
Good damage.
Excellent wall damage.
Good RO ability.
Great lows.
Strong whiff punishment (try using A+B and confirming it into A+BBK BE. Insane damage off a semi-safe NC mid string. 3BKK is also the no-brainer option.)
Good guard damage.
Amazing CH confirmable strings.
Obnoxiously good CE.
Awesome aGI stance.

Weaknesses:
Shitty block punishment. Doesn't get anything noteworthy until -16, at which point he gets ~40 damage and knockdown.
Average throws.
Can have trouble getting in due to below average pokes and his own pushback. As more of a zoning/whiff punishing character he can have trouble making comebacks unless you land dat parry CE.
Generally pretty unsafe, can have trouble vs. characters with strong punishment.

Use WR KK or WR KK BE to punish -16 moves that either force crouch or are low. Same damage that you would get from a 3kB punish and it's the same speed.
 
You can disagree but you'd be wrong. Half those strengths are strengths for most of the cast, and theirs are better than Xiba's.

I've been up for 20 hours and need to go to bed now, so i'm not going to go specific, and you can take that at whatever value you want, but Xiba ain't great, he's barely good.
