NOTE: This video was recorded before the latest patch!
Here are 5 tips for beginners! Ofc they work for more experienced players as well. I'm planning to do more of these kinda videos, I hope you like this first one!
0:00 Start
0:26 Tip 1 - Don't use too risky moves like df3 and RDS d4!
1:59 Tip 2 - Use the right combo ender - SSL UF4 into WS4 for your staple ender OR HYP 3+4 into f21 for wall carry/heat burst and heat engager ender
4:26 Tip 3 - Use f2+3, The Waning Moon throw, more often! It can also be used to punish 14f throws! Also throws are stronger in general in T8!
6:55 Tip 4 - Xiaoyu's poking game is good, use it! She has a lot of options to quickly deal a lot of damage!
8:53 Tip 5 - Xiaoyu's a lot of moves with guaranteed followups on hit! Make sure to memorize them and practice hit confirming!

Absolutely perfect timing. I've just started playing Xiaoyu more and couldn't find a concise guide to build a foundation on. Cheers!

These are very good tips Mr. Croft. I started Tekken with this game, and have now made it up to blue ranks. These tips go over some of the things that I had issues with that were preventing me from ranking up until I figured them out. My biggest one was the first tip. I was using down forward 3 so often, and I found myself using basically just 3 moves outside of combos and it made me very predictable and I couldn't get out of red ranks until I stopped relying on just a few moves.

Hey hey Mr. Croft, thank you for all the hard work you've done to Ling Nation people! You've been big inspiration for me to pilot Xiaoyu since Tekken 7 and never tilt on opponent While I still can't chain iws2 in combos, never reached high ranks or do setups properly, but damn it feels so rewarding to actually condition opponent into wakeup option you want to get out of them: commit hippity hoppity jump over for rds4, floating with ff3/rds3 or held ws2 or go nuts with unblockable. May the Ling Nation stay strong 💪

Oh great advices, i would give exactly the same advices if some1 ask me... You are great! I learned all the follow ups thanks to you and im not used to punish with throws but the poking game of xiao its what i love of her, i love to kill ppl without even worring with combos and, suddenly, u see the chance to launch them and they dont even expect it, so many ppl duck to low parry my RDS d3, but i still have RDS 4 😈

@Mufire1991 13 күн бұрын

Awesome tips! Respectfully, I disagree with your first one. I think it is the biggest fallacy in the Tekken community. I hover around TG/TGS, and much more often than not people won't block SE. That's also true to gods of destruction. You just need to know when to use them, aka not when it's an obvious neutral moment when you're both hyper alert. And if they do block, that only opens up the mindgame for the snake's edge cancel. In fact, I keep a note of how many people I hit with snake edge cancel into her RDS snake edge (it's a gimmick, but trust me that it works), and so far I'm on 158/169 hits lol. Against GOD opponent I'm on 37/42. EDIT: also, you can get 1 more damage if you do 3+4 after S4 CH

@Cal3000 13 күн бұрын

You can probably throw out a snake edge probably once per set. More than likely near the end of matches where the opponent expects you to play a certain was and when they will least expect it

@Lingnation 13 күн бұрын

Thank you for that comment. Respectfully, this is exactly the mindset we should actively try to avoid. Being able to land a snake edge is not the point. When it comes to moves that are super minus, launch on block, our decision making should not revolve around the question whether my opp is able to block it or not. In fact, it should be about developing a strong neutral game and preventing ourselves from becoming too risky in our gameplan (e.g. too many whiffs or using too unsafe moves). Relying on snake edge is a bad habit and even if you're able to hit your opp with it, everytime you are putting yourself at risk of getting launched, and THIS is what we should focus on more. Maybe I should make a video about this topic 😁

@Mufire1991 13 күн бұрын

@@Lingnation Thank you for replying! I wouldn't say I rely on snake edge, and I am aware of the risk/reward it brings to the table. I don't throw it around willy-nilly, maybe once a match. Most of the game I play neutral, but I do enjoy the extra layer it adds to the gameplay. Especialy at higher ranks, people get extra frustrated when they are hit by that move, and it adds to their mental stack. Sure, I can get launched for it, and I do on occasion, but I personally enjoy the reward (and a little bit of the risk too 😅). I'm by no means a pro, nor do I aspire to be. I'm happy with reaching TG-TGS considering this is my first Tekken 😀 and your videos helped a ton to get there!

Do you play Zafina at all or are you just in practice mode with her? I main Zafina but since hitting fujin started practicing with Xiaoyu a bit, I'm curious if you have any thoughts on the differences between the characters.

@Cal3000 13 күн бұрын

Playing Xiaoyu straight forward is probably the most effective way to play. Messing around with too much movement is unsafe. I don't understand why Namco gave her all these transitions with bad frame or situations where you are airborne that allows you to get floated. Movement only works efficiently when your opponent is scared to attack and allows you to run your offense. If your opponent doesn't respect your movement or your offense, it's easy to get punished for too much movement.

Anything except keyboard… most keyboards have built in prevention of pressing certain keys at once, it’s kind of a nightmare for a game where you need a lot of multiple inputs at once
