NOTE: This is a BnB Combo Guide, which means that you will get your staple combos for every launcher. So it's all about reliable combo routes, not max damage. Let's become consistent with our combos 🙂💪 And yes, UF+4d into WS+4 is our best and most damaging combo ender because the WS+4 hits unscaled. Try to perform an additional SSL right before UF+4, then it's gonna be even more consistent.
I've seen strong players do ff 3+4 , then ub 4 after t! as a combo ender - which seems like it's a bit more damage than T!, dash UF+4, WS+4 - I think I've seen you do it on stream, and in this video at 0:19 and 8:39 - why does that work some of the time? At 2:56 , in the DF+3 combo, I get a bit more success doing dash instead of walking forwards. Thanks for the video Mr Croft, it's really useful
@@damnitschmolt9205 Red Rank Xiaoyu here. Here is what I've discovered. ff 3+4 into ub4 is guaranteed when the opponent is back-turned during the combo. Easiest way to do this is the Waning Moon (f2+3) combo. Here's the interesting part: If the opponent is somewhat on axis during the combo, the opponent can block the ub4 by doing a quick getup. This is where you wake up by tapping the up button. Any other wakeup option gets hit by the ub4 including back roll. This is amazing in low ranks because you can abuse it to get free damage if they don't know about it.
As of 1.04 almost all combos that use f3 as a filler are much easier thanks to the buff it received. Strict dashes are not that much required except for very timed enders:)
I haven’t played Tekken in years but watching your videos gave me so many ideas. Within a month I went from beginner to garyu. Thank you from a late thirties lady gamer 🥰
I read the pinned comment and I'm aware it's not about the most damage. However, with a slight modification of your ender you can get better damage and still get the distance between you and your opponent. DB3 or DF23 are much better ender options for anything in front of you than UF4 WS4 will ever be. Both of those create the distance you're looking in most of your scenarios and provide you with maximum damage for the combo. Again, I'm aware it's about the combo path and not max damage, but sometimes they're one in the same when it comes to enders.
for df+3, there is an alternate combo route if you hold D after df3 to transition into AOP. Can do an AOP UF~N~3 > f2 > f3,1 > RDS 2,2 > RDS 4 for 72 dmg total Just thought I'd mention in case it was overlooked
Oh no it's 2 am. Let's get to it ❌Go to sleep ✅stay up all night to watch Mr. Croft's upcoming video. U know Mr. Croft you're a bad influence to me.(sarcastically)😅 Love you Mr. Croft❤❤❤
I would note that for the tornado -> uf4D, ws4 ender, if you are not far enough to the left side the ws4 won't connect on an opponent who stays on the ground. You can fix that issue with a quick ssl before doing uf4.
Thank you for the amazing video Mr.Croft!! Can i ask you how do you feel about the drama around her at the moment? I do main her since Tekken 3. I think she needs nerfs yes,but some people acting like Xiaoyu is the worst thing in this game where things like King Dragunov Jun DJ exist..imo. And she was never really meta,maybe in S1 in T7. I don't think she won any big tourneys. don't know,i just feel like people are kind of different when it comes to her especially when she is at the top,people going on her so easily all the time. But maybe it's just me.
I play Xiaoyu, I'm somewhat new to Tekken and comboing but I'm learning all her puzzle pieces so I can watch videos like this and hopefully string something together. So far the only juggle I can do 100% of the time is f2 three times but I'm getting better :P EDIT: 1 month later I've got all the basics, pretty strong combo game, just hit shinryu and working on my wall enders and harder combo extensions :)
A small alternation I might add/change to the combos that end with rds 4 on grounded opponents, instead of using rds 4, I would say use rds 3 instead, it yields 14 dmg on grounded as opposed to 10 from rds 4. That being said, becareful if combo ends up by the wall, it's possible to jump over them while on ground. Rds 4 at the wall is preferable.
Im having trouble doing the WS hold 2 after HYP 3 (3 steps), any tips or advice? Seems like I am usually too late. I might have to settle for doing some of the standard combo routes instead if I can't get this down 😅
The HYP 3 three steps combo appears to be more inconsistent to the left or is it me? I have to use an easier pickup route if it hits to the left… otherwise the ws2 hold doesn’t pick up the opponent
How to make the RDS 3+4, 3+4 combo more consistent? I can't get the first f2 to hit. I guess you have to micro dash even faster? The problem is that if you do the forward inputs too fast you get ff2.
any advice on landing combos that have RDS 21 into dash f2? I feel like no matter how fast I go, the f2 will miss. and if I dont dash to make sure f2 lands in time, my f314 will miss instead because of the distance
3:52 listen man i been over this for hours i can not understand how do u fo from forward forward 1 to db 1 i can not make the flow work i always have my back towards the enemy
Is there any downside to starting and ending heat after a HYP3+4 (keeping most everything the same in your "Heat Engager Combo Enders" section) for more damage? (I'm new to the game so my wording might be awkward)
Man i knew i had my work cut out for me when i decided to use Xiaoyu but i didn't think it'd be THAT bad i spent like 2 hours taking notes of all of Xiaoyu's most important stuff 💀
@MrCroft At time 13:42 , when transitioning from b3, 2, 1, and then going into the forward, forward 2, 1. If I only do two forward inputs, she does ff2. It feels like I have to do fff2 instead. Is there a better way to do that? I'm not good at instant triple forward (which means I keep dropping my iWR 3 after the balcony break, too. Any tips? :)
1. Ist schwieriger nach einigen längeren combos, und wir müssen Beginner berücksichtigen. 2. Und viel wichtiger: Es macht fast 10 weniger Schaden, ws4 ist unscaled und trifft hart. WR3 into aop 1+2 zahlt sich also nicht aus.
13:37 i can't get this combo here to not drop - after rds 2,1, dash, I keep getting dash 2,1 instead of f2,1, or if i get f2,1 - it's too late and the combo drops i tried adapting the combo to use a heat engage + heat smash instead of f,2,1 - but landing the while running 3 in the next part without getting the combo to reset to 0 seems impossible?
I eventually hit the combo a few days ago after an hour and a half more practice! Just took a bit of hand hurting to get there - after rds 2, 1, you've got to have that dash buffered really early. And for that wr 3 after balcony break, the bane of my existence, I had the best success buffering fff just before she touches the ground.
I am not sure of the meanings of many things like 'launchers' and all as I am new to Tekken 8, however, it seems like these combos were showcased with the 'Counter' setting being either 'Multiple Counter Hits' or 'Counter Hit', thus, some of the entry points for these combos do not apply to my game. For example, the low kick move while in phoenix (don't understand the button notation either, I play on PC keyboard).
yeah but that's by design, its so you know how to get an optimal combo after counterhit. You'll find out (or already did) that in games you make a counter and then don't know how best to use it and end up throwing things at random, this is so you can know what to do in those cases
@@Rincen777 Thanks for the reply. I have actually evolved a lot after writing that initial comment; I was even able to create my own followup combos for counter-hit launchers :)
I’m confused for the combo at 2:30. Every time I try this combo, the opponent is way too far away after forward forward 3 into raindance. I keep kicking my opponent away.

You chose wisely.

The best combo video on Ling so far. I was trying to figure out the best backturned combo.
You’re a legend Mr. Croft. Thanks for all your hard work on these xiaoyu videos.
I'm gonna watch this video a lot. This is the magic that can help a Xiaoyu beginner ace ranked matches.
Exactly! Having good staple combos can really make the difference 💪

In a lot of the combos, it ends with WS 3. Is that WS 3 guaranteed? Just wondering since it doesn't seem to be included in the combo counter.

yes it is!
So uf4 ws4 is the most damaging ender for combos?
Mr. Croft is a surgeon with Ling
Amazing work
Why is uf4 ws4 the best ender?
Most damage, especially when all the 'gravity' has been used up

2:30 i cant seem to land f,f+3 . The 1+2 sends them too far. Do i just need to be quick with it or is it a timing thing?
In tekken 7 it was definitely a speed thing, so probably the case here.
I wonder if it's a combo on natural hit or only counter hit?
too early = miss
too late = sends opponent back
maybe this is just frame???

You need to do it faster, the window for it to connect is small
