cl. A can come out when intending to get st.A instead and netting you unwanted pushback, try to avoid it.
Standing
st.A is a two hit chop that is special and whiff cancelable on either hit, as well as her greatest combo tool.
st.B and st.D are Xiangfei's best spacing pokes.
st.B is useful as a range finder for her qcf+k command throw as it seems any distance you can land a st .B then you are in range for a command throw.
Crouch
cr.A chains into lights
cr.B can combo into st.A but it's a tricky link.
cr.A/C/D are special and whiff cancellable
cr.C has a vertical hitbox that makes it a situational anti-air
Jump
j.A/B/C/D are useful jump-ins
j.B is her best/only crossup tool with a great downward angled hitbox.
neutral j.B is horizontal which is useful for quickly controlling space.
neutral j.B/C and j.D are useful air-to-air moves
neutral j. D goes straight upward.
Blowback
st.CD is whiff cancellable which can be used to keep pressure on with her qcf+p.
Moves Xiangfei forward.
Hitbox stays out for an incredible amount of time.
j.CD is a great jump-in and air-to-air.
Throws
Kadoma - (close b/f + C)
Xiangfei grabs then shoves her opponent away.
Soft knockdown
Ryokuchi Kouen - (close b/f + D)
Xiangfei twirls both herself and the opponent to switch sides. With her back facing them, she thrusts with both of her elbows.
Soft and reverse knockdown
Command Moves
Sou Shouda - (f + A)
Xiangfei throws both fists at the opponent.
Raw overhead.
Special cancelable when canceled into. Overhead property lost.
Safe on block.
Used in Xiangfei's bread and butter starters and inside blockstrings.
Kyuupo Gosentai - (f + B)
starts up like f+A, but she twists and throws a kick that hits low.
Special cancelable when canceled into. Still hits low.
A good way to change up her pressure from a normal f+A blockstring that might catch opponents trying to stand or jump if you add a qcf+p.
Unlike other things in her arsenal, using this in a blockstring will push her out of command throw range.
Fukupo Gosentai - (df + D)
Cuts out the f+A fakeout and goes straight to the low kick of f+B.
Will combo from lights unlike f+B, but is not special cancelable.
Special Moves
Nanpa - (qcf + A/C)
Xiangfei creates a sphere of power in front of her, blasting the opponent into the air
Hits mid
Soft knockdown
Both versions can be made safe on block from the proper distances, but are slightly negative point blank. Less so for C version.
Causes an air juggle that differs in what moves can follow said juggle between the two versions. Only can be taken advantage of in the corner.
A version can be combo'd into.
In the corner, A version can be follow up in the juggle state by a st. B/D for a reset opportunity.
C version can't be combo'd into.
C version advances Xiangfei further toward the opponent.
In the corner, you can follow up with dp+B or a heavy move during the juggle state.
Zen Chuoh- (qcf + B)
Xiangfei rolls toward the opponent, bear hugs them, and does an elbow thrust.
Like most throws, opponents cannot be thrown from block or hit stun.
The range to land the throw after the roll is roughly four steps back from the opponent.
┗Kanku: Zen Chuoh - (qcf + B)
As a follow up she kicks the opponent down in the air and causes a hard knockdown.
Can be done late after the throw, but there's no use for it. Always do it immediately after the grab.
Zen Chuoh Shin Saiha - (qcf + D)
Same as qcf+B except instead of an elbow, she tosses them backwards and does a mean jumping headbutt.
Soft reverse knockdown
Great for cornering opponents especially turning the tides if you yourself are cornered.
Tenpohzan - (dp + B/D)
Xiangfei throws her shoulder out and jumps into the air.
Two-hit dp move that hits mid.
Soft knockdown.
Only combos from close heavy normals.
Both versions are super cancellable on the first hit only.
Decent invulnerability as reversal.
D version protects more vertical space.
D version has more invulnerability on startup, but is a risky move to throw out given how negative Xiangfei is if it whiffs.
If you input it as dp+AB/AD instead of dp+B/D it does around ~5% more damage
Ei Sake (Tai Kuuchuu Kougeki) - (A~u) counter attack move
For all counters, you must input A, then u/f/d in a 4f window. Not at the same time.
In addition to counters having to be inputted according to where the opponent attacks from, Xiangfei has to have the input done when the opponent has an active hitbox out for it to come out,
There is auto-guard when counters successfully come out.
Will only respond to aerial attacks.
Soft knockdown
Ei Sake (Tai Tachi Kougeki) - (A~f) counter attack move
Will only respond to standing attacks.
Super-cancelable
Does not knockdown but pushes back the opponent about half a screen distance.
Ei Sake (Tai Shagami Kougeki) - (A~d) counter attack move
Will respond only to crouch attacks, but they don't have to hit low (i.e. most cr. C's)
Soft knockdown
Banhaku Ato Unage - (hcb,f+ A/C)
Command throw that spins the opponent in the opposite direction giving you a follow up.
Incredibly small activation range where even being seemingly point blank isn't enough.
Can run or hyper hop to the opponent to start a combo.
┗Ekisupo: Banhaku Ato Unage - (qcb + A/C)
Xiangfei follows the throw with a shoulder smash that is both special and super cancelable.
Super-canceling still costs an extra bar even if the natural special cancel may suggest otherwise.
The follow up must be inputted in relation to the command throw, meaning that the qcb must be in the same direction as the original hcb part of the throw.
Can press AC instead of inputting qcb+p to do the follow-up.
Desparation Moves
Hirotoshi Kami - (qcf, hcb + B/D)
Xiangfei dashes forward doing a shoulder tackle knocking the opponent away.
Hits mid
Causes soft knockdown and hits the opponent a full screen away.
D version combos from just about anything that will juggle the opponent in the air.
The most difficult DM to combo on grounded opponents, only doing so from dp+k(1) or a successful anti-air/standing attack counter.
Maijinga - (hcb x 2 + B/D)
Xiangfei grabs her opponent then applies energy pressure to their stomach area for one-hundred hits.
A command grab DM, can be combo'd into from her st.A(2).
Hard knockdown
If whiffed the energy that comes out of Xiangfei's hand can still hit the opponent and do some damage. Soft knockdown.
Chou Pairon - (A + C) > (b, df + C) >> (b + C)
Xiangfei slams the opponent then follows up to launch them in the air
You can kara cancel into the second hit and whiff cancel into the third. The former is usually done to use the 2nd hit's bigger range in combos/punishes.
Leads to juggle state where you can land dp+B, and qcf,hcb+k/BD.
Super Desperation Moves
Hirotoshi Kami - (qcf~hcb + B+D)
Does significantly more damage than the regular version.
Maijinga - (hcb x 2 + B+D)
More damaging and faster than the DM version, a 1f grab instead of 4f.
Hard knockdown
Can randomly do 2002 hits instead of 103 along with a 50% damage boost, then doing ~54%. Probability: 6%
Hidden Super Desperation Moves
Tenshinzan Kuzure Kiba - (qcb hcf + AC/BD)
Xiangfei hops into the background like in RBFF, then hops toward the opponent. If she hits them, she does a backflip kick knocking them into the air, then jumps and does a shoulder uppercut hitting them again for a solid 43%.
Cannot be combo'd into at all by the DM's nature.
AC hits high, and BD hits low.
Fullscreen range, and very accurate targeting, even on jumping opponents.
Though jumping may be a good option to avoid it, Xiangfei is still able to hit airborne opponents if timed right.
Soft knockdown
Combos
Note: Remember for every combo to always only do one cr. A if using a jump-in to the front.
Your bread and butter both as a combo and as a blockstring. 18%.
cross-up j.B, cl.C/D, dp+k
The cross-up allows Xiangfei to get both hits out of dp+k. 25-27%.
★ cross-up j.B, cl.C/D, dp+AB/AD
Pressing A along with B/D increases dp+k's damage by about 5%. For this combo, it's recommended that you press AD to avoid roll canceling your cl.C/D. 31%.
Corner
★ j.X, cl.C/D, qcf+A, st. D
Great corner combo that ends in a reset.
j. X, cr.A, st.A(1), f+A, qcf+A, st. D
Simply put, this doesn't work. If you're going for a qcf+A juggle, only ever use the combo above.
1 stock
Anywhere
★ cr.Ax1~2, st.A(2), AC > b,df+C > b+C, dp+B/AB
Comfortable hit confirm into launcher super. 33-39%.
Very consistent for the damage you get out of it. 45%.
f+A/B, BC run, cl. or cr. C, hcbx2+k
Neat overhead/low starter that goes into command grab DM. Input cl.C, hcbx2+k as hcb+C, hcb+k. Raw df+D is much more strict with the timing of BC than the other command normals, and you'll get a button if not precise, so don't use it to max-cancel. 36-39%.
3 Stocks
Anywhere
f+A/B, BC run, cl. or cr. C, hcbx2+BD
Same as above only ending with SDM version. 45-48%.
