Xiba Q&A / General Discussion

[Synraii]

Just noticed a mistake in the frame data:

3B is -12 on block, not -10 which I have just finished testing extensively, as it made me as an Alpha player exceptionally happy!

This is crucial knowledge for Xiba players in the Alpha matchup because it means you can't spam it vs Alpha as you would against the rest of the roster as JF Twister option selects the following:
Punishes 3B.
Avoids second hit of 3B K and punishes.
Punishes 3(B)
Interrupts any 3(B) REM followup.

Put simply:
1. No mixup vs Alpha
2. Update the frame data
3. U MAD? =P

Fixed 3B in the wiki.

Also, thank goodness Xiba has other stance entrances.

Has Someone Made A Top 10 Moves List?

Sup Gavin! It Might Be, I Just Figured I Would Ask The Q&A Thread.

What cause the K in 6BK 6AK A+BBK to drop on counter?

 

[wasabicrush]

What do you mean by "drop" on counter...and there's always mixup options, even on alpha, no big issue here for xiba v.s. alpha match ups..

"Drop" as in it fails to hit.

 

[wasabicrush]

Ah.. I'd say it won't miss if the a or b hits on a counter hit.. But i dunno, I haven't seen it or tested it on alpha....sometimes Its just the the angles in the game gets messed up, I've whiffed bunch a stuff before, but never "dropped" the k with a counter hit 6ak or 6bk

 

[Slade]

The K followup usually drops on an off-axis CH of the first attack.

 

[MuffinMan123]

CH 6BK also misses 2nd hit if your 6B connected from as far as possible.

 

[wasabicrush]

Ah true

 

[Paranormal_Oreo]

While we're on the topic of CH 6B, K, you can do that into 9G Back grab or 9G 3B or REM B mixup. Have fun!

 

[wasabicrush]

Hmm I dunno know what that looks like but intresting , thank you p.o.

 

[ArcticKomodo]

Another thing that's been bugging me and has been happening often. 33_99 A and REM B goes through opponent when the opponent hasn't moved at all.

I've had REM B whiff a few times but 33_99A never.

 

[wasabicrush]

Yes rem. b will commonly go through cervy and others...it takes away the fairness of that match up, It is a major xiba issue that needs to be fixed, but I doubt it, project soul will only tend to the need of Japanese players

Hi guys,
just learning the Xiba matchup by playing him.
At long range, what moves should Xiba be doing to fish for mistakes or to convince the opponent that s/he needs to rush in? Or a good poke that deals guard damage?
Just looking for good ideas to make the opponent lose their patience if they want to hang back.

 

[wasabicrush]

Long range - 4b, 1a, 22a, 33_99aa Good pokes - 6b, 3a, 2k, k, 1k, 3b

I've noticed it happening a lot against Maxi and Mitsurugi. I guess i'll look into it more.
