As a Xiaoyu main, I'm impressed and inspired to learn more about her while improving.

Do you know Yoredz?

@sieltina88 No, I don't. Why?

[@sieltina88]

@DaquanHarrison So what do you think of him playing?

[@tofuchaeng06]

No one can remove her. She's part of the maim lineups since TK3. Didn't even became a DLC character, not a single time. If someone hates her, practice instead of complaining

[@butteredtoast3032]

Bro i actually love xiaoyu as a character and i think she is really fun, but there is no such thing as "just practice her" with all the bs she has, we have to be real here... as someone that plays xiaoyu i perfectly understand why some people just hate her

[@paitoonkittiworakun3296]

after i lab her, i hate her more.............

[@2muchReality7ven]

@@butteredtoast3032 I feel their are more problematic characters. Xioayu gets busy.

[@butteredtoast3032]

@@2muchReality7ven the thing is since xiaoyu is hard to learn, you rarely see her, why pick her when you have characters like drag and law? But she can still be a problem

[@2muchReality7ven]

@@butteredtoast3032 She was one of the main ones from the past I liked. I played with all the characters from Tekken 3, but Ive only played the series on and off. Xiaoyu is the only character Im playing with to master. Salute.

[@RankedGirl]

Not because she's my main, she's literally one of the most unique characters.

[@jessylei]

Me too that’s why she my main and favorite since she stepped on scene and she so fun she keeps you guessing and never know what trick she has up her sleeve and plus players can finally use their best tool…..their brains fighting against her 🙂

Glad I'm not the only one who put Paul's and Lei's Tekken Tag One theme song on the New York Time Square stages.

[@ricksstarz]

It matches pretty well. Tag 1 has my favorite soundtracks ❤️

[@LadyHermes]

8:08 What is the song here ? Is it part of tekken ost ?

[@ricksstarz]

Yes! It’s from Tekken Tag Tournament 2. It’s called “Mystic Force”.

[@KINSkully]

After playing against two Xiaoyu's in ranked today, I feel like she's playing a different game than everyone else. The amount of times my turn was stolen is egregious.

[@Kazandro]

Speaking of that, her gameplay is also like playing a different game. You just can't use the generic tools and the type of gameplay that you use on the other characters

[@loupast7587]

Wait till you see yoshimitsu plus 5? Get launched 😂

[@KINSkully]

@@loupast7587 trust. 'Okay cool, I'm plus 5. Lemme set up this frame tra-' FLASH

[@keshabella4461]

Xiaoyu is my fav character shes a strong and tough character if you can’t handle her it’s your skill issues. Sorry to say that.

[@SweetLemonTea99]

Xiaoyu is such a strong character, anyone who can’t handle her is just your skill issues!

[@tropicar6942]

It isn't always that simple like it is for most other matchups. Xiaoyu happens to be one of the few character ( Yoshimitsu, Zafina ) who's basic game-plans can dominate certain match-ups pretty one-sidedly. If you don't have any mid pokes that can consistently AoP, you're always fighting a losing battle since you're forced to hard commit to disadvantageous moves just to call out a potential AoP in her numerous flowcharts. Try playing Heihachi or Bryan against her, it's legitimately torture at all levels of play.

[@butteredtoast3032]

​@@tropicar6942 dont waste your time trying to explain bro, as a xiaoyu player, i actually hate how other xiaoyu players think or act in this community

[@sayo5885]

You've gotta delay the last hit of her heat wall combo to guarantee calli roll

[@ricksstarz]

So for the F2,1,1+2 , I have to delay 1+2?

[@sayo5885]

@@ricksstarz Actually the correct input is F2,1,2 not 1+2(although 1+2 still works if you got used to it) And yes whether you input 2 or 1+2 at the last hit if you delay it a little you guarantee a Cali roll. You can also hold a directional button during the delay to recover in neutral which in that case 3+4 is guaranteed to hit. To further add to this you can also hold down after 3+4 to recover in AOP and further mix them up. LMAO I hope this helps Xiaoyu is a complex character 😅

[@Regulus-uu7pb]

​@@sayo5885ohh thanks ima ling main and I didn't even realise this

[@michaelhunter3692]

Kazuya, xiaoyu, and jun are mains I’m looking to aim for and possibly Reina if I can

[@ricksstarz]

That’s a good variety of characters. I’ve considered picking up Reina myself. 🤔

[@SwipeGameplay]

The 2 things i hate is her phoenix hit box but also when she jails you and does a grab which goes into a full combo. I feel there should be an option to turn that off for all characters as not all characters have that ability and its so cheap.

[@7exon600]

I still think Zafina is more annoying. Because at least you can still punish Xiaoyu when she is in her phoenix stance with some low mid attacks. Zafina? When she is at a certain low stance, she just can't be punished enough and just bounce off the combo. (Tekken 7 player here. I don't know if Zafina is still similar on tekken 8 or not)

[@jkdman2007]

True. Zafina is annoying.

[@joeycarr4198]

this inspired me

[@Kazandro]

For me it's Zafina. T6, Tag2, T7, and now 8. Never couldn't stand her.

[@ricksstarz]

She’s also hella annoying for sure! 😤🕷️

[@Dante_Tim]

The lastwone was gold.

[@ricksstarz]

Haha thanks. 😉

[@cursedcrow1033]

Nah i dont hate her. She is a technical character similar like Nina. The only thing what is dumb asf is her absurd hypnotist frames and this dumb wall combo that you end with the powercrush

[@ricksstarz]

I honestly agree with you. I think HYP mix in heat is way too good. Xiaoyu is extremely scary at the wall. 🙄

[@Aratemura]

I would be happy if you responded. What do YOU think is the counter to your character?

[@ricksstarz]

Are you referring to Xiaoyu or my main? Because my main character is Jun.

[@Aratemura]

@@ricksstarz Xiao

[@TTboi69]

correct me if im wrong but, is xiao harder than nina? she's a lot more rewarding too if you can read the opponent bc i really think nina is only scary in heat while a good xiao is just scary all around.. like she has so so so many cancels and so many possible setups and timings and quick safe frames... and she has great lows and evasion.

[@ricksstarz]

They both are on the more difficult scale to play. In my opinion, I think Xiaoyu is more difficult to play. This is mainly because she has three stances that you have to incorporate in your gameplay with her at the very right moments. With Nina, I think is more easier to “flowchart” with get wins where as with Xiaoyu, you have to have good awareness skills to play her effectively imo.

[@ACHILLESALMEIDA]

[@ricksstarz]

Yeah it takes a lot of practice to get use to her stances and transition to and from it in the right moments. You have to have a really good sense of awareness playing this character at high level. I love to watch pro Xiaoyu players and take note on how they play her. Keep at it! ✊🏽

People actually hate fighting against Xiaoyu because she has broken tools in this game

[@Cal3000]

She's one of the weakest characters in the game

[@ghostghit913]

As also other characters, it’s not about only Xiaoyu or only 3 or 5 characters that has broken tools, it’s almost whole roster, someone has more broken tools and someone less, so it’s more about the game itself, this game has so many broken stuff right now
