Advanced guideCombos · punishers · practical notes

Combos from Wavu Wiki (current patch) · gameplay notes from TekkenDocs (kanda)

Terms　BnB=the everyday combo (bread and butter — learn this one first)　|　T!=tornado: spins an airborne opponent to extend the combo, once per combo　|　CH=counter hit: catching an opponent mid-move; most moves gain a launch or crumple on CH　|　Punishers=a guaranteed punish taken from the recovery of a blocked move　|　Staples=a higher-damage route for one particular starter　|　Mix-up=forcing a guess between standing (blocks mid) and crouching (blocks low); the core mix-up is the character's main guessing point

Game plan　Xiaoyu is an evasion specialist: the Phoenix stance (AOP) ducks highs and a good number of mids, back-turned sidesteps are stronger, and she takes her turn by slipping through gaps and punishing mistakes.Hypnotist (HYP) is the core 50/50 stance — in Heat it skips the first step, which makes the guess nastier, and Heat at the wall is her strongest situation. Weaknesses: short reach, trouble opening a blocker outside Heat, no fast counter-hit tool in neutral, and low damage on her low pokes.Note: she cannot block during AOP or back-turned。

Key moves

Input	Key points
1234›+1234(/1234)1, d+2 (,B / ,1+2)	The i10 workhorse: Fan Dance into back-turned; ,B goes into HYP (after it hits); the 1+2 ending punishes anyone still moving
+1234d/f+1	An i14 mid check, Ducks highsand goes into back-turned; at the tip, BT d/b backs out to bait a whiff
+1234b+1	i8 mid! The second-fastest in the game, the answer to point-blank pressure, and +1 into back-turned on hit
+1234d/b+2	A long low that ducks highs; on block, BT.b+1+3 covers her, and a counter hit guarantees BT 2,1
+1234d+1+2	Phoenix (AOP): ducks highs and a lot of mids; entering the stance after a sidestep right evades even more
+1234f+4	Tracks a sidestep (high), +1 on block and +13 on hit, which guarantees b+4,1 (Heat engager)
+1234(Soaring Blaze)f,f+4 (Soaring Blaze)	enters on hit or blockHypnotistforces the mix-up, and a counter hit launches high
SS1234SS+4	A low out of a sidestep that launches on counter hit; at the tip, back off to bait a whiff
AOP1234AOP 1+2	Phoenix Cannon: a long-range counter-hit launcher, only -1 on block, carries to the wall — very nearly a free move
+1234f,f+3	An i14 long-range mid poke into back-turned; on counter hit the advantage is big enough to force the back-turned mix-up
+1234f,f,f+3	Diving Falcon: a safe launcher that is +7 on block, and her main way to force the Phoenix mix-up

Tips	Notes
Staying alive back-turned	when caught back-turned, BT.b+1+3 parriesactive from frame 1, so drill it until it is muscle memory
Backing off with BT d/b	BT d/b backs out to bait a whiff → WS 1+2,1+2 (safe) / WS 2 (fishing for a counter hit) / u/b+3 (the big punish)
Phoenix evasion, upgraded	Pressing d in AOP (Butterfly) ducks lower still, under some rage arts
What the opponent fears	A button-masher is what Xiaoyu wants; someone patient who backdashes is the hard matchup, and f,f+3 / f,f+4 are how she closes it
FC d/f+2,1	A natural string that is +5 on hit and forces a crouch — the main low of her crouching game
