It wasn't boyish persay. Her jumping taunt was warrant enough for me that the moveset had some form of femininity to it.

I'm sorry I worded that wrong. I meant to say since when was her style girlish? She is SC's tomboy girl.

That is so true. Even Cassandra who is probably her Greek counterpart is a lot girlier than her.

Yea I thought about Cassy too but I feel the butt moves and sassy attitude reminds me of some girls I used to know.

Likely, it probably will be. Sad to say but there's a lot of differences in movement between males and females, not to mention the center-of-gravity between the two is very different. It's highly unlikely you'll see a completely gender-neutral moveset out of Xiba.

Well arent you Xiba players lucky, i played a xiba player about an hour and boy is xiba very fun just by playing him:
He is a mix of mina and kilik of course, but also with very little yun seong.
I didnt look at his movelist, but i saw 3 0r 4 of his BEs:
1. A low low string. I guess 11A. The BE version is Low x 4. The last low KNDs. I thinks it an NC. the animation is kind of like Ivy's SC4 WP 1AA
2. He has a BE off of mina's SC4 22A then a TS kick, and a body tackle or headbutt. I am guessing this is his asura. NO aGI but good damage of course.
3. the same BE as Mina 22A but off of kilik 66B. i could have gotten them mixed up.
He has a very interesting style: he seems to be mainly focused with strings, but they are really awkward animations and kind of hard to block. Idk if he has faints though.
An example would be is 3B (?) then a variation of mina A+K while spining on his weapon and then another A+K. so the string is either a Mid - Mid -High or a Mid - High - High.
He also has a 33K (?) and then a weird animation of when he puts the pole under his legs and whacks the opponent with it multiple times. (lol) so its probably a High - Mid - Mid -Mid.
His AA is better than kiliks to an extent. The last A is duckable but the AA NCs. It also has a string AAK which is High - High -Mid. If i recall it NCs. so this could mean he has very safe AA string. it also has id range and a slight adavncing step.
His BB is better than kiliks also to an extent. Its B like kiliks then he jumps and does another B kinda like mina's SC4 11B. i dont recall if it NCs. but i am pretty sure it does. His BB is kinda slow but not like mina's.
His CE has VERY LONG aGI animation.
He has mina/kilik 1 and 3A+B. the input could be like 2A+B3 or 1...
He has mina 33A not sure if he has 33AA, but most likely does.
He has a variation of kiliks WR B.
He has 66B and the ATK animation is different. its like a weird headbutt as he slides upside down the rod.
He has mina/kilik 44A not sure if he has the low hit.
His 2P is like kiliks outfit. It was the one with a yellow vest. I think form SC2?
Thats all i recall right now.

- I interuppted either BE #2 or #3 with tira GS 3A ( SC4GS 6A) so i am guessing the mina 22A one is uninterruptable and the 66B one is interuptible by 2As after blocking the 66B.

Good report Optymuss.

Tag recorded ALOT of videos of ALOT of players. So you can get the visaual which is 5 times better.
relax his CE has an aGI and he has kilik 236. i think the CE aGIs just verticals and the 236 aGIs just high and mid horizontals. the 236 B is when he slams his weapon the ground (not like kiliks though, you'll see) the 236 AK (?) is a high mid string that stuns if i recall. it was only shown once.
plus, i didnt go through his movelist so he could possibly have another version of asura.

Did you check if he has 214? And also command throws?
optymuss
[12] Conqueror
no i didnt. I didnt play him. i played a xiba player for like 45 minutes. I am sure that someone will find out though because you mentioned it and because they will be curious of it. people who are still at it and affiliated with this site will probably pop in here.

No doubt I'm definitely looking forward to the visual report too.

Awesome job Optymuss, thanks for taking the time to share :)
Can't wait to see some gameplay too, he already sounds a lot more fun then Kilik and I love the Mina integration.
