2. Moves from *[fwd]
Lei's two hit mid move that will beat evades to his back. In addition to haaving no guaranteed punishment on block, if the first hit connects on a crouching opponent it will give +6, so it is a valuable move to throw out. Further, if you press *++ after the first hit, you will go to *kyo stance.

13. Strings from +
A mid high mid string. The first hit goes to Hai stance, the second hit goes to Kyo stance. If the first hit connects as a counter hit on the side, Hai is guaranteed, so remember that. Also, the overall damage is high, so its not a bad filler for combos.

Hai + on full charge will give head crumple on hit, and leave you at guard advantage on block.

27. Moves from Bokutai stance.

28. Moves from Dokuritsu stance.
Dokuritsu is a long ranged mid attack, and can cause wall stagger. Use it when you have your opponent pressed up against the wall. From Dokuritsu stance if the followup and are done immediately they will combo. Or, you can do Dokuritsu to stay in dokuritsu, Dokuritsu to go to Hai stance, and Dokuritsu to return to normal stance. If you hit a stand guarding opponent with Dokuritsu they will stagger, and you can follow up with Hai etc. Mix it up with the previously mentioned mid options. Dokuritsu + is a mid hit throw. On hit with good timing of the + input, you can continue on to the hit throw.


29. Moves from Nehan stance
Nehan stance + is a mid attack with the property of parrying elbows etc, and returns to normal stance after the move. Nehan + is a special high attack that goes into Koko stance after the attack, and on counter hit guarantees Nehan stance .

30. Moves from Koko stance
Koko stance parries most mids and highs, and Koko is a mid attack that will parry most lows. The former causes head crumple and allows for combos. If your opponent is aware of the parries and freezes up you can use Koko stance .

Sui Ra Kan stance is a long range mid move that is safe from punishment on guard, so is a strong option. Mix it up with the low hitting Sui Ra Kan to overcome the opponent's guard.

32. Moves from Kyo stance.
This is a stance with a lot of options, and you have the option to go into Hai, Dokuritsu, Nehan or Koko stance. Kyo stance will combo as far as Kyo , or you can go into three different stances after Kyo stance . It is also effective to mix up the mid Kyo stance and low . Also, both of these fit fairly nicely into combos. After the strings, Kyo only will go into Hai stance, the other options return to normal stance. Kyo is a mid mid option. Hitting an airborne opponent will cause a small bound, so use it as part of combos. Kyo stance is a mid attack that is also easy to use in combos, and with no delay Kyo stance will combo. Kyo stance is a low hitting sweep at the opponent's leg. On hit, with no delay the followup will combo, and afterwards you will be back in normal stane. Kyo stance + is a high move that even on guard will give +5. On normal hit it will give a head crumple, so go for combos in this case.



In other massive news, they've finally determined the active frames on +. 8 active frames.

 

Awesome information Noodalls, thank you very much!

Some of the changes are major! It will change my Lei mixups a lot. Merging ura koko and ura nehan into one Kyo stance seems good, but I will need to check the moves myself to actually rate them xD (Hopefully in this life)

Anyway, my question is about and +. Is the first one completely different from the current (vanilla) ? Is the second one the old +?

I've watched countless movies, but I would need to assign those commands to the moves I've seen in the videos

 

looks like bokutai was strengthened and his kyo stance seems interesting thanks noodalls for the translation

 

Intro
Use your stances to confuse the opponent
Lei has Dokuritsu, Hai, Bokutai, Nehan, Koko, Rankasui and Kyo stance. From the various stances you can get atemi, low stances, and you can use a variety of attacks. By matching your attacks to your opponent's attacks you can keep them guessing.
It might be confusing initially but with application you can increase your options to attack.


Basic attacking art
Mix up the stance changes from
The basis for your mixups will be the options from . On crouching hit it will give +6 advantage, and from here a hit confirmed or throw is a good mixup. Against opponents who try to avoid, the full circular will hit on counter hit, giving damage through Koko stance . Also, after you beat an opponent's attack with or are strong. You cannot be interrupted by moves that are 12F or above, and on counter hit you can get combos.

In addition to the above, it is important to be able to switch in to stances to keep attacking. The move recommneded for this is the high mid mid . This cannot be avoided by ducking, so you can go into stance attacks from here. After on hit into Hai stance and after into Dokuritsu stance you cannot be interrupted by an opponent's standing attack. You can keep up the pressure on the opponent this way.


Section 1 - Remember the special combos from the side to increase your attacking repetoire

When attacking from the side, certain moves will become combos or unguardable, as the recovery on moves changes. First, on side hit will mean that Hai stance cannot be guarded. Further, Hai stance + on hit will give +15 meaning that mid moves will combo. Go for this after a successful evade or a side turned wall stun.
Otherwise, on counter hit on the side will give guaranteed Koko stance . + on counter hit will give Hai stance +. Use this not after only successful evades, but also after throw breaks.

Example 1
After sideturned hits, the followup standing cannot be stand guarded. If you predict your opponent's duck, followup with a mid.
Example 2
+cannot be avoided or guarded, so it becomes a true combo.

Section 2 - Remember the moves at the wall that will link to combos to get a big damage boost
If you can hit a wall combo you're looking at about 50% of your opponent's life bar, so definitely try to apply this when your opponent is up against the wall. The basic mixup is and +, where if either one hits you will get wall stagger and the followup + will allow for wall combos. When the opponent is in front of you and you have a wall to Lei's stomach side you can use + to give a wall stagger. On hit Hai + will combo, and if close you can go to + for a wall combo. When the wall is further away and you get a side crumple, you can use +.


By the way, could one of the mods add a Lei Fei to the title please?

 

Combo chart

is your main option for starting combos.
As a nitaku mixup, or after avoiding an opponent's attack you can use this move. If the second hit is guarded the recovery is considerable, so you want to be hit confirming it as you use it. At mid range, throwing out the long range is useful. and + are moves that can be done quickly with their simple inputs, so are useful to abare with. When you have wall stun, or to abare near a wall + is useful. + is useful against atemi/reversals as it cannot be reversed, so if you think your opponent will try to atemi or sabaki, you can use it. + is a throw move that starts combos. Use it when your opponent starts to rely on guarding.

Thanks a lot for all the translation/info.

 

good info thanx

 

Hey, I'm thinking of possibly switching to Lei from Aoi.

Any ideas on how hard it will be?

 

So very close, but so very far at the same time. There is a great deal of deception with AOI as their is with Lei Fei. From the standpoint of how you play the game the philsophy of the two characters (IMO) is very similar. But it will take you quite a while to get into Lei Fei's stances. His stances have the same chilling affect as AOIs reversals. But if you learn them one at a time, Lei Fei is approachable.

 

Do it. If your on XBL, look me up and I will help.

 

Is anything guaranteed after 8P+K+G, 2K?

I'm getting the Hai Shiki K -> Doku KP -> Hai Shiki 2 - Bokutai PP all over the place, but I think the stagger can be broken before the HS K can launch? Scrubs aren't shaking it yet, so I'm getting free damage all day (with a wicked looking combo, if I do say so myself).

 

Try this after 2k:

On light weights- 4kk,kp,2,pp

On others- kp,2,pp

 

Um, neither of those will work phanatik. DS 2K puts you into HS, where you have access to neither 4KK, nor KP. I'm not sure what you're talking about. Also, totally confirmed that the stun is shakable, but they have to be fast. Still gives a mix up, and still free combos on free players .

 

Sorry. Here is the correct way.
Get into 8(g+p+k)
Then, after 2k, which stuns, go, k, kp, which puts you into hai. Then go 2pp.

 

Also, after 2k, stun, k, on lightweights you can throw in a quick 4kk,g,kp,(k+g)p.

 

2. Moves from *
Lei's two hit mid move that will beat evades to his back. In addition to haaving no guaranteed punishment on block, if the first hit connects on a crouching opponent it will give +6

Dojo tells me otherwise. -3 on normal hit on a croucher.

 

very good read to newcomers to lei, as well as players who know him well but need written guidance for all of his moves and stances. One thing though, it would help people to include the input to switch into the stances. It'd make learning and solidifying much more convenient to players who've yet to memorize the names of the stances
