I guess the threat of following through with the b4,1 is just too great that people don't want to risk punishing it.

I agree same thought

1+2 is my favvv, even if you can't pick up like most ling players, you can get a 3+4 follow up for extra damage

Very slow startup. Best to use it in case of advantage frames. Even so, there are better options

@@yuh6812 Yeah it's not that useful in low level play which is what I assume you're talking about... It's a good side step launch and safe 50/50, so instead of doing a low poke that your opponent would sometimes assume you'd do, you can do 1+2 which is safe on block.... So yeah, it's useful regardless of being slow. Moves like F4 is also slow, doesn't mean it's not useful.... Need to use your moves strategically instead of just throwing it out for no reason.

I honestly spam b+2. When I realized b+2,2 is natural combo, and b+2 being homing. You have mental frame advantage bc of the extension and you can hop n' throw a lot. b+2 can also float a lot of moves in the game.

Thank you for always giving great information and getting to the point. You have single-handedly elevated my Xiaoyu play to a level I never thought I'd reach. Fantastic video as always!

Hello everyone, (long text) 1+2 is realy one of her best underated moves. I have an other count technique for ff3 If 1+2 hits I count seconds. At the same time I hit 1+2 i count 1 and on the half way to 2 I press ff3. Maybe it will help someone. I agree with the SS 4 and SS 1+2 mixup. It could be so strong. b4 Could be good in neutral but not against chars which have a good guaranty 10 hit string. If your opponend doesn't have it or don't use it, it's ok. *Don't use it against Jab masher* When u use it too much and the opponent have the knowledge it can be also SSR (to her strong side) So it could be a mindgame as he said. d1 is realy underated. But be carful on D1 (hold) into AOP. When u use it into AOP be ready to use AOP d. Especially oB. The minus Frames with and without AOP version are dependent on the distance and angle. And the distance and angle are realy wierd. FC f4 is so good. You have so many mixups like FC df4,4, or FC df4 -> AOP mixups. or df,4 -> AOP df4 -> AOP mixups. There are so many options ... I have to use ist also more often. And u can mixup it with stings that leave u in FC like d1. Also good to start from AOP. One of her best underated moves. b3 is realy good. I use it to keep safe in some situations. But yes it's a high and when u use too much lows in RDS your Opponent will duck because of the expected low. So keep in mind, that u have to mixup enough. Ok, the CH 2nd 1,d2 -> RDS b3 is new for me! THANKS a lot for that! Underrated #6 FC df 2,1: Double low. U can do DF 2,1 (hold) to do a SSL into RDS mixups. U can also do only FC df2 to go in RDS mixups. So u have also a lot of mixup options. I hope it will be helpul for someone. Kind Regards

Another great video…very informative

Excelente vídeo; aplicaré más esos movimientos 🎮📺🎮👍🏼

I feel the that the 1+2, FF3 pickup is easier in Tekken 8 than Tekken 7. wasn't Consistent in T7 but in T8 I can say I am consistent.

Good video as always and hello, been a long while.

Love this video!

Ff 4 is actually a really good plus move that people don’t use often. It’s best used during pressure as people duck it if you just throw it out. Back turn down 4 isn’t tracking?

I am only Bushin but I love to use several times back+4 only a few times and when opponents begins to try to punish it, then I add the 1 string ender. It still works quite often

Love your stuff, Mr. Croft. That said, 1, d+2 (CH) B+3 in RDS has been around since Tekken 3. :)

Thank you!!

I feel like every move herehas come up for me as a move I should use more: 1+2 I avoid to due not having the pick up down. FC F4 4 I just told myself to use more because I used it in T7 a lot and somehow stopped thinking about it in AOP with these HYP transitions and Heat engagers. D1 there's a video on all the power crushes it beats, still didn'tuse it B4 I started to realize is really good by itself right before seeing this. RDS B4 I also would "accidentally" use (fight stick) and was like wait hold up, but didn't know it was ideal. Already implementing this to great success. Thank you for highlighting

aop 3, the slide kick is a great underrated move as well. It launches at counter hit and also the range makes it a great attack option.

If I recall correctly, the King's kicks in the hankle has the same property as Xiaoyu's regarding low parry. I mean, if you have been hit by one, you cannot low parry the next one, but you can block it and then, you can low parry the thrid one :)

I can do the 1+2 pickup after a mini sidestep left but 0% of the time straight on axis :( I'd love to see a video of yours with the inputs enabled so we can see the frame timing!

Make a list of all her Okizeme options and resets that force my opponent to guess after every knockdown like King

In the old days, RDS b+3 (or just RDS 3 as it used to be) was a knockdown on hit and did even more damage. I didn't realize it was still in the game now that RDS 3 is the new RDS ff+3. Well new for me as I pretty much skipped Tekken 7.

I was just messing around in practice mode trying to remember your video from when I watched it the other day. I found that RDS uf3 is a jumping 9 frame (!) move too! I think I've only used it by accident. But it's not as good because it's -12.

Df2,3 I often hit them with the second hit because the moves so new and fresh. While crouching df2,1 is also plus on hit when you go into back turn really underrated.

I expected to see this move in the video. I used it more in older games but continue to forget it exists.

fc 4 / aop 4 flips them over on their stomach at the wall for oki. if i’m not mistaken if they get up incorrectly you get a free 1+2 in aop at the wall

I've always used rds b3 as a quick back to regular stance panic move but now I feel like I should use it even more

FC df44 is the move on this list I used the most, and I found it very useful. I tend to use this move a lot by doing the first hit into aop, then into the mid heat engager(aop2,1 I think lol). I don't know if people know the move and are trying to block the second low, or if they are just slow to blocking the low, but I end up landing that heat engager so many times with that setup because people are trying to block low. One thing that is very funny with it too is that since you have to get full crouch, sometimes you will end up low parrying the opponent since there is the brief amount of time before you can input 4 and you are just holding df.

Great Video! I don't understand one thing: move at 2.04 (d/b+3): I often use that move, but in this combo it doesn't start.

I can hear it too ☺️

I generally jump with back 3 lol. Everything else I already utilize. Still trying to learn the rds parry grab 😮‍💨

Me personally, my top five underrated ling moves are: 1. FC df21 2. FC 321~4/HYP 3. AOP d1 4. FF 1+2~1+2 5. U 1+2~2~1

I use fc df4 all the time and when they duck to block the second hit I hit them with aop 2,1. Also rds b3 works wonders against Alisa hopkick

There is 9F jumping 3 from RDS if not wrong. Not in the movelist I think.

I have a challenge for you Mr Croft, what about useless moves that Xiaoyu has? And how would you make them useful? Like RD up+2, i think that’s the input, the one where she jumps real high and stabs the ground

in RDS she can do uf4 which iirc is i9

D1 goes under some moves too especially the power crush moves

I miss B+4, 4.. I wish they had kept that in addition to heat option

Big fan of d1, it's also perfect for a hard read on armor, and is especially good ending a wall splat for setting up AOP oki. Not as good as T7 wall oki, but still worth it. Also no one challenges d1 on block into AOP. Which makes sense because it has a perfect amount of pushback, is -10, and basically no one in Tekken has an appropriate response for this situation. So one of her best tools for entering AOP at a deterministic range (if all 3 hits connect).

An underrated move in my opinion is d1

i use a caliroll+rookick to track usually.The forward momentum of the roll realligns and the kick is too fast to step after..But its guaranteed launch ounishavle now and they can step block i guess so ehh.

you have to really commit to experimentation and spamming d1 to fully appreciate it. you will not only stop attacks but create opportunities you would have never guessed you could with this move.

Gokigenyou Mr Croft! (≧▽≦) 🤜🫷☀️🌙 My 2 personal picks for underrated moves is Low Back Turn. Doing that in neutral and seeing them run and whiff into your keepout Mistrust is a good way to increase your opponents one and done percentage. 2nd one is AoP U4,(4). You can go back into AoP if you hold down or go into Rain Dance if you hold back after doing U4. People rarely expect that move, they don't know it's -10 on block and they don't know about the transitions so they will whiff attacks because of them.
