Introduction
Xion is a long-range defensive zoner with strong pokes, in a similar vein to Street Fighter's Vega/Claw. While in Beast Form, Xion gains extended hitboxes on all of his attacks, which grant him amazing reach and priority due to being disjointed. Xion is able to rack up damage quickly with confirms from many of his long-range pokes, and his ability to apply pressure at a range no other character can makes him a constant threat; in particular, his 3B Cancel loop is devastating, as it can easily force the opponent to Hyper Burst in order to avoid taking massive damage. While Xion is excellent at walling out opponents, once they get in his options are limited: his Guard Attack, while fast, doesn't have much armor, and his low health value means he dies fast. Despite these drawbacks, however, Xion is a very powerful character.
