Introduction
Tia Langray is a kickboxer from Thailand searching for her brother (who, unbeknownst to her, met Bai-Hu and was brutally murdered). Sho bears a passing similarity to her brother, as she notes in the game.
Overview
Tia is a fast fighter that can quickly switch directions on opponents to slip through their defense. Her dash jab pressure is very strong and she has excellent conversions off of stray hits. Opponents will be forced to use a breaker to get out of her pressure or risk being put in the corner. Using 236236P she can be a threat from anywhere on the screen. She also has a good fireball and poke game.

Tia punches out a disc projectile, does not reach full screen. Good fireball for medium or medium-long range but risky up close because of startup time. LP version travels slower than HP version.

Tia pulls off a forward flip and drops her heel on the opponent's head. Can be done in the air and cancels from jumping attacks on hit or block. The air version is excellent for mixups and air combos. The ground version is much more unsafe, but can be used to close the distance between during a blockstring. | ||||||

HK Soul Spike is awesome. When canceled from a jumping normal, you're plus enough to link into cr. LP, cr. LK, st. LP + HP xx HP Rising Upper. (breakable link) |

use 2/8 to steer. This move has startup invulnerability and is a decent reversal, although Rising Upper is probably better. The invulnerability doesn't last long and fireballs and a lot of air moves will beat it. Can also be used in combos. |

Overhead, can be used in juggles/combos. Also leaves Tia extremely vulnerable on whiff. This move is a total knowledge check outside of hit confirms. Since Tia's other two super moves are mids, an opponent who knows the matchup can block high after any super flash and net a punish. Don't expect to hit many people with this. |
Combos
- Meterless Combos
- 2B, 2B, 6AC (one hit) xx 623C
- Combos with meter
- 2B, 2B, 6AC (one hit) xx 236236P
Advanced Strategy
- Tia can instantly block, attack, or jump out of forward dash.
Kara Cancels
- You can Kara-Cancel 5C/D into Fireball to build slightly more meter. Both normals have audio cues to help with the timing.
- Kara Rush Blow (5AC) is nuts. It gives Tia's uppercuts an extra character width worth of range, and allows her to throw fireballs that move her forward and build double the usual amount of meter.
