Sango Guardian Chaos Generation/Xiahou Dun/Strategy
Neutral
Xiahou Dun's primary strategy is to get in close and use his strong mixup tools to convert into a combo and do tons of damage. While not possessing any long-range tools, Dun does have a great walk/run speed and plenty of ways to approach with his divekick, 623B to call out fireballs, as well as 6D, rolls and Force Attack.
Offense
Once you're up close, poke at your opponent with your crouching normals. 2A and 2C are of particular note. 2B is also useful as a low option. Frame trap, or go for 8BD overhead or a throw if they're getting too defensive.
Mixup Concepts
You'll primarily be opening up your opponents with your 8BD overhead because it's so difficult to react to, but if you manage to land a throw, it's still possible to get some significant reward from it.
After a throw, whiff 5B,B. From here, you can use the follow-up C for a launching overhead, which can then be cancelled into 623B for your regular juggle combo. If you expect your opponent to stand block, omit the C follow-up and move straight into 2B -- the recovery on 5B,B is quick enough that the timing between the C follow-up and 2B is pretty similar. Another throw is also an option!
Defense
Wolf Flash Tech
623P can be superjump cancelled on hit or block. While the meterless version only grants a juggle on counter hit, it's still an incredibly useful tool both offensively and defensively. An important property to note is that after 623P, Xiahou Dun can cancel into 8BD by inputting 28BD after 623P makes contact. This is incredibly strong, as it effectively allows Dun to cancel his reversal into his safe, extremely fast overhead. Crazy, crazy good option.
