Ling Xiaoyu Combo Thread

I got a question whats the most optimal combo for cross rush with Xiaoyu coming in all ive got is MP xx AOP > qcf+ HK was wondering if there was better and easier combo.

Dont really understand this combo since im guessing the qcf + P >P~P is the hp version even then all of the version of the move cause straight knockdown not allowing for follow up?

Man the OP is a mess. Fix that shit.

I know. Can anyone tell me how I can change the spoiler line to attack names?

EDIT: Revamped it. Now has combo shorthands. I have one link mentioned, but if there are any others, I’ll add them over time.

Thank you

What is the fastest way to cancel a stance and go back to normal?
After he divekick move on guard it seems that holding a direction or pressing a button stops her from going to RD.
I’ve found out that you can jump cancel her stances with specials, for example if you are in AOP, doing 2369+K will do the divekick from normal stance, since jump cancels the stance, and a special during jump startup cancels the jump.
Apparently tapping down>down is the way to go back to normal (sorry, new to Xiao) but it seems too slow to be able to block after something that’s a bit negative on block.
I tried using jc CADC (2369P(hold) > dash) to backdash out of a stance but couldn’t find any shortcut motion atm to make the dash come out immediately.

Yes, sorry it should be qcf + HP.

So since I can’t order a Fight Stick yet I’m forced to play with a standard Xbox controller and it feels that Xiaoyu is going to be difficult with this, but I think I found an easier way to instant Phoenix Talon. Instead of pressing :d::3p:, if you just do :qcf::3p:, :k: it feels as if she does an instant Phoenix Talon. I’m trying to implement this into an actual combo, but my execution isn’t the greatest so this all falls under my training.

Ah didnt know you could follow up qcf with RD P thanks.

Ooh, this is pretty useful to know. Tried it myself and you gotta be careful to not accidentally get Fortune Cookie or Hakkesho by accident. I’m definitely practicing this one more.

BTW, for you practicing your links, chained normals will deal less damage. For example, cr.LP xx cr.HP will deal 93 as opposed to the 120 from a link.

Dang, I’m trying to combo into Xiaoyu’s :qcf: heavy punch and it’s just not working. Her medium punch continues to finish both hits, then when it does recognize I pressed Fierce, it goes into a launcher. her light punch specials don’t lead into any stance changes which is what the combo’s I see require, so how do I go about doing this? Am I supposed to mash out the command in the middle of the medium punch?

It sounds like your timing’s off. You’re supposed to cancel into it. Is that the problem you’re having?

I suppose so. When I do far st :mp: into Fortune Cookie it works no problem, but when the :mp: is close, it strikes for two hits and it’s a recovery period after that. In fact… none of her crouching combos seem to work for me, especially since the guide list all her BnB’s with stance cancel switching and such.

mp cancel between 2 hits, be more faster

A good tricks:

1PPP: Aop
1kkk: RD
dont need 2PPP or 4KKK to stance
So for corner combo: Aop P, mk, cr hp, rd, mistress
You can do: 1hp, 1KKK, K

Wait, I don’t know Tekken number terms, so it’s a little hard for me to translate those numbers. Are you saying I don’t have to input certain buttons or are you telling me a much easier way to stance cancel? Also, with the :mp: if it’s two hits, am I supposed to mash out the input during or right before the first hit to make the timing?

hes saying you dont need to use down+ppp or back+kkk to stance change. you can just use downback for both stances.

H-How… o.O

It’s a nice shortcut. It’s still registered as a down input.

BTW, you’ll wanna learn this if people continue to interchange terminology.
789
456
123

That’s for directional inputs. So, QCF becomes 236.

this is what i’ve been using just because i think s.mp is really good even though it’s 10f start and 2 active which sounds bad to me
the use i’ve got out of it has been good

i also agree with not banking on getting jumpins right now jumpins are pretty effective but i can’t see that being the case as time progresses.

What lmao? 236? I was thinking “maybe it is like the hands of a clock or something” but 236 is not a QCF lol…I’m so lost O____O

I’m tired and I just woke up. Here’s my Day 1 Xiao combo I learned last night.

j.fierce, st.fierce, b+3k, P~P, d, p, st.strong, d+3p, qcf+k

Gonna fine tune my Xiao tonight- If you’ve got better combos post 'em, I’ll learn them tonight!
