That's because some of the old school X players can't adapt to their character not being top tier like in SCI-SCIV

Not being top tier was fine, which, even in 1.01 she wasn't top tier, just highly overused. Hilariously so, actually. Everybody and their mother had a pocket Leixia. Even the new players couldn't adapt, and just switched to Natsu, Pyrrha, or Alpha instead. (I didn't switch. Needless to say, I play the game a bit less now. lol.) And it makes some sense, honestly. Most of Leixia's biggest strengths are either done just as well by the game mechanics themselves, or specialized by other characters.

It's like Leixia's a decent character, but just has some of the most hilarious match-up difficulty post patch I've seen since SCIV. Still love her though. Go Leixia!
 
Congrats to Decapon. Also want to extend my congrats to Shen Chan for repping Cervy and damn I want that t-shirt!
 
..wow after 11 hours of evo SC watching yesterday, Im still a bit in shock regarding:
-the extreme skill level (pools and top 8)
-the asian dominance
-the depth of this game (people still finding new ways to dominate)

Lying in my hammock, there were several very near fall-out moments. The hours invested in watching all the pools matches were so worth it: http://www.twitch.tv/srkevo2/b/323884187
 
I have to say the thing I appreciated most was how all the people at the tourney played. Seemed to me the players who did the best were the ones who could switch between turtling/spacing and aggressiveness the best unlike previous SCs where turtling almost always tended to be the best course of action except for a few characters.

I think that shows people that this SC is far different from previous ones (and better for it, imo) and as such needs to be played differently.
