Finally started playing Koihime Enbu on Steam in english. I dunno what I was expecting. Though apparently the style name for my main Sonshoko is spelled Xiao and not Shao. Meh, either way this character is fun. They do best as a neutral monster laying down procectiles that fall from above that cancel into moves to push them out. Then you can use command grabs on them and use the same projectiles to setup oki stuff. She has a good AA in her down Heavy and since she has rekkas she can convert it into a combo that full corner carries which is where she becomes a monster for damage. Kind of struggles up close under pressure from some folks with safe normals like Chohi and Bacho though.
Game is still fun and still nuts with crumple combos. Get a crumple and suddenly moves get new properties and your standing crumple attack becomes a launcher. Considering I got a crouching, running and a flipping overhead looking crumple with Sonshoko my goal is to irritate folks till I can set one up then full corner carry. Otherwise I can go full Vega and just poke them to death with shit and hold my position outside their reach.
