Use uf+4 (Avoiding the Puddle) to hit Xiaoyu out of AOP; it is a homing mid that is safe at -9 on block and launches on hit.
- 0
If Xiaoyu uses BT.4 (Mistrust), it is -18 on block, giving you ample time for a heavy launch punishment like df+2 or f,n,d,df+1.

Xiaoyu's f+3,1,4 string is -22 on block; do not let her get away with this high-damage Tornado move without a launch punish.
- 0
In No Sword Stance (NSS), your NSS.u+1+2 is a low that is +5 on block and cannot be low parried, which is excellent for opening up a defensive Xiaoyu.
- 0
Xiaoyu's db+3 is +2c on block, so do not try to press buttons immediately after blocking it as she retains a slight advantage.
- 0
Watch for Xiaoyu's b+3, which is +3 on block and chips for 6 damage; it transitions to BT, so be ready for her backturned mixups.
