I've picked her up recently and needless to say i really do enjoy playing as her since her defense is amazing, also 3k is a wonderful tool

Ah, I might actually check out some Leifang videos, and try to learn a few things. :p She really is a cool character, and I've always liked her, but never gotten into using her.
I bet it will be satisfying doing her Advanced Holds and Sabaki's all round long and win.. XD She is amazing as a defensive Char.

Well, I think I'll start with her when I get back home. I'm excited for it, knowing three people have commented about how amazing she is. :p

All I'd say in terms of a warning, is that she requires a certain mindset. If you're prone to bouts of button mashing, you'll just get your arse handed to you with her. Everything's gotta be really precise, because her recovery times are painful when you miss.

Mugen Tenshin spam, she most definitely isn't. Play for walls, as well. Her slams are monstrous.

also unshu is really really good, it literally stops people from spamming stupidly

Doesn't seem to crush as well on PS4 netcode now.

Eh, her lows aren't good. She's still a very good character tho. Definitely high tier.

Ah, OK, thank you for the heads-up, @ninemil , I'll definitely try to keep that in mind. I'm used to more offensive Characters, lol. I just have to learn her defensive style, I guess.
Exactly, @Yurlungur . That is why I REALLY want to learn her, to stick it to button mashers and spammers. :P

Oh, you do know her CB is on a quarter circle, right? Do you play on a stick/analogue, or dpad? Not that you rely on CB's so much with Fang - but that's something else you should keep in mind.

Personally I find them a shitter under pressure on a dpad, and I know a fair few friends say the same. A lot easier on the DS4 than on the DS3, admittedly, but still.

Never did get the hand of playing on analogues.

I know, and that was the main reason I quit playing her before, with my old, broken 360 controller. Now I use the Xbox One D-pad (on the One) and a fight pad (on the 360) when I play, and quarter circles aren't a problem for me on either one. :p

All set then ^^

god, her qcf+p is such an amazing move and it's a sabaki as well

Thanks for all the help, @ninemil ! It's truly appreciated! ^_^

Oh, it is a Sabaki as well as a CB? That's pretty awesome! :P

Yeah, the first part of it gives no fucks about incoming strikes. I believe it's -8 on block tho, this patch.
