Xiaoyu's AOP stance can evade many high attacks; use df+1 (i13 mid) to check her movement safely as it is only -2 on block.
- 0
If Xiaoyu uses her db+4 low, it is -12 on block; punish it consistently with your i12 2 or i11 WS.1.
- 0
Xiaoyu's Mistrust (BT.4) is a dangerous i13 mid launcher but is -18 on block, making it heavily punishable by almost any of Steve's starters.
- 0
When Xiaoyu is in BT (Back Turned), be wary of her Cali Roll (BT.f+3+4,3+4); it is -11 on block, allowing for a 2,1 punish.
- 0
Watch for Xiaoyu's b+1+2, which is i15 and -13 on block; punish this mid-mid string with your i12 2 or i10 1,2.
