This was a good breakdown. You have my gratitude for the shoutout. Sodam style every day and all the way! I have learned most from him, YuYu and Wecka. Those are my top 3 favourite Xiaoyu players. ٩(◕‿◕｡)۶
Thank you! Haha that's a good movement training vid so I decided to just link that vid to them (Not in order) Mine's Mr. Croft, Sodam, and yOReDz haha ┌|o^▽^o|┘♪
I have been playing Xiaoyu since tekken 3, played the other tekken games a little bit but came back in tekken 8. Made it until Fujin, your vids help me improve so I hope I can keep climbing the ranks. Thanks!💘
very good breakdown, i gotta think on it. Everybody was selling me about AoP but its the tool i use the least. when i transition in it i always get knocked out of it so fast, like everyone knows about it.
Try not staying in AOP for too long😉 I explained in this video how to use your stances effectively defense and offense-wise haha ruclips.net/video/HwhOMWkkk9g/видео.html&pp=gAQBiAQB
Good to see you show Tricky’s chanel. I can’t wait wait to see her compete in tournaments when she will be ready. As she trains with different people sometimes, perhaps you could do a training collab together. It would be interesting because your way to play Xiaoyu is different from other people. And Tricky needs to find her style.
Yeah she gives really good advice on people who are struggling in this game...makes you wanna think more maturely with how you handle this stressful game haha Watching her grow from this to a tourney would be a sight to watch haha I am very busy and I'm sure she is too. This video is actually just an intro on what style you want to play. I do think she has her own style now and I saw a stream of hers watching PLing's tourney run so in a way, she is formulating her own style with her own procedure and journey. She is more fundie and that's ok as that will always be better than my own style.
I think I am a Silantro/Mr.Croft/a bit of myself style now. Not completely stable, but it helped me to hit Tekken King so I am quite happy with is 🙂 Any way, thanks for your advice on this caharacter, it really helps
I'm digesting this video slowly due to being busy but I love how in-depth this answer is and I appreciate just how much work you put into the answer. Just wanted to let you know I'm watching it lol
There will always be a tiny amount of idea within a big one. I do find it easy....as of the moment HAHA dunno in the future but hey, at least we Xiaoyu content creators try to cover everything that Lingnation needs haha Thanks!
Hey I don't usually comment lol but Tekken is my first game and I mained Xiaoyu since release. I recently made to Might ruler and I feel like the flaws in my gameplay + lack of knowledge of a playstyle is starting to show. I really needed this thank you!
Hope you are enjoying the game and Xiaoyu's gameplay so far! Yep, you picked the hardest character in the game and you really need to dedicate time with her Take your time with her and ask for help from me or from other Xiaoyu players if you find yourself struggling. We are willing to help ya always
It applies to both newbies and seasoned players. I myself is a season player, but I lack fundamentals. When I created this video, I saw the parts that I need to work on 😉
This video has beginner material and best intentions, but the best way to learn Sodam Style is to watch his videos. there are many techniques that can only be demonstrated at the Tekken God Prime level.
Yep! I mean that's how I learned. This video is for anyone who wants a foundation of his style. You still need to create your own identity as a Xiaoyu player Everyone has their own setups and all so yeah watch Sodam if you want to be Sodam
Even though I play Ling since Tekken 3 (with hiatuses of course) I was never interested in a (my eyes) super risky dancing stuff, but if you play her, you must realize that you have to use setups with her evasive stuff and tech traps in able to win or at least get out of sticky situations, even in Tekken 8, where her basic tools got buffed. It is just a more straightforward way to be successful. For example even I'm at the realm of Rulers and Fujin, people still fall for a dropped combo with HYP unblockable 90% of the time, why wouldn't I use it? Or when I AOP under something. So I think players can be categorized on a scale, where 1 is the pure fundamentalist and 10 is Sodam himself. 😁 I was like around 2, now more a 3 or 4 as I learn to use more and more tricks, including the ones for movement. But the dancing stuff is still scary. 🤣
Indeed she can be played plain with Tekken 8 and tbh the HYP unblockable is like a mind wipe sometimes. I fall for it too 😂 Going for a scale is a good idea tbh and I think that's the great thing about Xiaoyu which makes her unpredictable. The dancing stuff is scary coz you won't know her next move even if you are Xiaoyu player yourself 😉
I Don know if this Will work with high level mirror match or player, i mean the dancing style, saw and fight tapsii many times, he just hold back and just poke u and punish me lol I think he's mixed style
Yep....a full on Sodam style will have a hard time with a fundie or a mixed Mirror matches (esp Xiaoyu) are the worst HAHA but with the dancing, yes you are at risk every time and can be poked or what...but when you control that...you'll be able to be unpredictable and all I myself don't have control yet with my playstyle but someone like yOReDz displays the controlled Sodam style which is a sight to watch, while someone like Mr. Croft has a great balance with his fundies and the Sodam style Also...dancing makes her fun to use 😁
Hi Silantro, I'm worried about how to pressure my opponent with mid moves. I usually rely on low moves like db2 and RDS 3 to poke, but that becomes risky if overused. Could you give me some advice on how to effectively pressure opponents with mid moves?
Hello, there's no really answer to this as I don't want you to be flowchart-y when it comes to Xiaoyu, but I can give you some points When you hit db2, you are gonna be either at +5 or +18 (ON CH)...this means that there are certain moves that you can go for 🟢 RDS 3 is 16 frames so it will come out at 11 when you input it Other options would be your RDS d3, or RDS 1 and can result into a CH Launcher If you want to continue the pressure, then go for RDS 1+2,4 which will leave you at +3 when then enemy blocks it, then follow it up with RDS 2,2,1 as that is a natural combo on hit and is 12f meaning that it will come out at 9f After that you can try to go for the AOP transition or the while standing state. You will be at minus BUT it is kind of safe so don't worry about it. I say this as there are characters like Claudio that has a very special hopkick. 🟢 Now you can do the same thing but with ff3 🟢 You can also play with your plus frames by knowing what moves will give you + on block and on hit 🟢 Examples would be wr3 (+7 on block), ff4 (+13 on block) and so on - For these moves, you are gonna be in a stance either way, so go for some lows, then mids, then highs 🟢 Don't be afraid to pressure enemies with a keepout jab (the +1 is still very helpful) 🟢 Input d1 sometimes as it kinda acts like a forcefield if you know what I mean Now I know I didn't answer it with just mids...but don't be afraid to put lows and highs in the mix. You'll need them later on...so don't rely on mids alone haha
Hell yea!! I'm about to play my Xiaoyu Silantro Style ( ˶ˆ꒳ˆ˵ ) Thanks!!!!!!!! Can I ask the name of the banger song/theme/music/ost at 12:02? ┏(＾0＾)┛┗(＾0＾) ┓🎶🎵✨
Wow yey haha just watch my quick matches and steal my movement and setups (and also find some from Dr Setups) 😉 You're welcome! The song is Dream Chest (Tekken 7)... it's also in the jukebox of Tekken 8 if you wanna put that in a stage 😁
ruclips.net/video/jx7dgRBl1kc/видео.html im looking for this, ppl always jab me when i use the stance. thats how u trap enemy with plus frame, thank you, i will start practicing the move. i always press ws 1 4 when i tryy to punish someone, and when it blocked i will in the rd stance , if they block it i will become an ez target with 10-12 frame punish
You can do your own moves by the way after a plus frame (every Xiaoyu is different) haha You can try ws4 for a safer punish, will give you LOTS of pushback on block haha if you still use ws1,4 and it gets blocked...try your defensive stuff such as parries, mid crushes, etc
bro is out here making very long guides for one individual character, that's respectable
I am a literal embodiment of a specialist 😅 thank youuuu~
Will continue to do Xiaoyu guides
I hope I can make it optimal
Him and mr Croft or goats

U deserve that, ur “I’ll make u into a phoenix” video was really helpful
I have been playing Xiaoyu since tekken 3, played the other tekken games a little bit but came back in tekken 8. Made it until Fujin, your vids help me improve so I hope I can keep climbing the ranks. Thanks!💘
It's great that you're still here playing Tekken (and more importantly, as Xiaoyu 💖)
Glad my vids help you climb haha keep going! 😁
Thanks a lot for the video! I always struggled with xiaoyu evasive tricks, i hope i can manage to include some of this sodam tech into my playstyle.
Please do haha Sodam playstyle is fun haha
very good breakdown, i gotta think on it. Everybody was selling me about AoP but its the tool i use the least. when i transition in it i always get knocked out of it so fast, like everyone knows about it.

Ohhh hi HAHA yeahhh it was a long Q&A but I think it is worth it.
Thanks for watching!
@@SilantroTekkenthanks for answering! This is literally everything I needed.
Yey! Haha
Your videos are complementary to other guides/videos. Not easy with the 'jungle' of great Xiaoyu videos already online.
Great work 👍😁

@@SilantroTekken ye, i bet :D
You are the master of Lingnation teaching us that way
Thank you! Haha will improve my content more for you guys 🤗
Ok this is actually encouraging to pick up ling. Do your guides also apply to tekken newbies or are they for more experienced players?
It applies to both newbies and seasoned players. I myself is a season player, but I lack fundamentals. When I created this video, I saw the parts that I need to work on 😉

Hi Silantro,
I'm worried about how to pressure my opponent with mid moves. I usually rely on low moves like db2 and RDS 3 to poke, but that becomes risky if overused. Could you give me some advice on how to effectively pressure opponents with mid moves?
Hello, there's no really answer to this as I don't want you to be flowchart-y when it comes to Xiaoyu, but I can give you some points
When you hit db2, you are gonna be either at +5 or +18 (ON CH)...this means that there are certain moves that you can go for
🟢 RDS 3 is 16 frames so it will come out at 11 when you input it
Other options would be your RDS d3, or RDS 1 and can result into a CH Launcher
If you want to continue the pressure, then go for RDS 1+2,4 which will leave you at +3 when then enemy blocks it, then follow it up with RDS 2,2,1 as that is a natural combo on hit and is 12f meaning that it will come out at 9f
After that you can try to go for the AOP transition or the while standing state. You will be at minus BUT it is kind of safe so don't worry about it. I say this as there are characters like Claudio that has a very special hopkick.
🟢 Now you can do the same thing but with ff3
🟢 You can also play with your plus frames by knowing what moves will give you + on block and on hit
🟢 Examples would be wr3 (+7 on block), ff4 (+13 on block) and so on
- For these moves, you are gonna be in a stance either way, so go for some lows, then mids, then highs
🟢 Don't be afraid to pressure enemies with a keepout jab (the +1 is still very helpful)
🟢 Input d1 sometimes as it kinda acts like a forcefield if you know what I mean
Now I know I didn't answer it with just mids...but don't be afraid to put lows and highs in the mix. You'll need them later on...so don't rely on mids alone haha
@@SilantroTekken Thanks a lot!
You're welcome!
Also what is the purpose of all that ling dances? Is it solely to bait a whiff from the opponent?
It's for you to be unpredictable and to have your own identity as a Xiaoyu player 😁
@@SilantroTekken yeah it looks so cool, i really want to implement it in my gameplay!
Try it every now and then....even a simple RDS b3+4 here and there will hype you up 😁
how can i do this but with dragunov?
I can't teach Dragunov but you can leave out the Sodam style and just go straight with the fundamental section 😁
Hell yea!! I'm about to play my Xiaoyu Silantro Style ( ˶ˆ꒳ˆ˵ ) Thanks!!!!!!!! Can I ask the name of the banger song/theme/music/ost at 12:02? ┏(＾0＾)┛┗(＾0＾) ┓🎶🎵✨
Wow yey haha just watch my quick matches and steal my movement and setups (and also find some from Dr Setups) 😉
You're welcome!
The song is Dream Chest (Tekken 7)... it's also in the jukebox of Tekken 8 if you wanna put that in a stage 😁
@@SilantroTekken Arigato gosaimasu Silantro Sensei!!!!!!!!! also I'm dancing to Dream Chest right now ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧
