Ling Xiaoyu Thread

Major cool points if you can do both Rain Dance and Phoenix stance during her Breakdance ^-^

I’m a complete and utter nub when it comes to Street Fighter, and I have no idea if this is already known, but I just discovered that if you hit with a HK Flower Power and tag in your partner (needs to be done around the second hit, or earlier) it gives you enough time to EX-charge a super (Meaning you get the super + 120 damage, as well as a tag for 2 bars).

Not very useful since HK Flower Power isn’t exactly an easy move to hit with, and you can get better damage for 2 bars, but oh well, I’ve wanted to find a way to combo into a charged super for ages :3

I beat somebody today with ex dark and stormy on there wake to beat out a reversal dp ,it looks so funny

got a funny voice message saying I’m getting reported for lag switching there.

and I was unaware you could rd cancel ,

this could get swag!

We need to be looking at pressuring with standing and crouching normals and mixing that up to bait out launchers.

EDIT: Now that I think about, this might be one of the true purposes for Flower Power.

Woo, I’m able to do the loop! Somewhat. I’m so late on this.

Just found out Xiao can punish bisons head stomp follow up on reaction with sweep for free lol.

Also auto block gem allows xiao to block while shes in her stances.

A lot of chains could be raw supered on block go into training mode and experiment.

lol i refuse to ever use such a gem

I’m fine with assist gems as a concept, but I really wish I could filter my online battles where people aren’t allowed to have assist gems. BTW, how the heck do you set up online training mode?

Lol im just putting it out there since there maybe some hidden tech that Xiao can abuse using it. lol

Also for online training mode you have to invite a partner from the online menu and then go briefing room.

Assist gems are actually extremely cheap for Xiaoyu then since that basically take away the only downside to her stances, if they catch you off guard in them, you can’t block. That is…wow…unfair as hell. I don’t use assist gems though, but now I’m kind of sad because I don’t want other Xiaoyu’s spamming them online :frowning:

What other Xiaoyu’s?

BTW, fuck Rolento. Online lag make him and Kazuya derp tier.

All of the other 5.7 that exist in the world besides us!!!

Even if gems will be used on tournaments, assist gems will be banned. Online is online.

i think using a auto block gem will only hurt you in the long run anywayas

Wanted to know if anyone use any of her ex moves in combos, i don’t feel like their worth it i just use meter for is for switch cancels.

I do use EX Fortune Cookie ( :qcf: + PP) to combo into the breakdance loop.

Sometimes if I have a lot of meter I will take the risk after an opponent blocks the first hit of Fortune Cookie (because I missed a link usually), and use either EX Mistrust or EX Dark & Stormy (or Turn of Fortune) hoping they pressed a button, and against slippery characters I like EX Back Layout and EX Shooting Star since they track to target.

Oh yeah forgot about ex shooting star use that against fireball characters, dont see the point of using ex back layout pretty useless when she has ex shooting star.

EX Back Layout has slightly more reliable tracking imo, plus it leaves the ground faster and has faster startup. No followup options though. I guess it’s personal preference.

I suppose you could cancel EX Back Layout and try to surprise them with an attack but I dunno if that would work.

As Snake said, the only EX moves I ever use are her EX Fortune Cookie for the wall bounce, her EX Shooting Star or Back Layout to track full screen, EX Turn of Fortune rarely when they wakeup because if I’m in RD when they wakeup, 90% of the time they throw something out because I can’t block (but I do have 1 hit of super armor), and I’ll also use EX Hakkesho to CADC into breakdance midscreen.
