That was the April Fool's joke, Sandact6 was pulling people's leg about doing a Pathfinder conversion, the actual document is expanded Heaven's Reach setting information.

Y'all know there actually is an Exalted conversion for Pathfinder, right?

It's partly based on those tweets, and partly based on stuff Holden said on IRC.
But yeah, I'm biased. And I'm mostly going by second-hand sources here.

Here's the stuff on IRC. Can't really feel bad for Holden though, given that he cheered Sanct getting banned for complaining about this.
I'm honestly more shocked at the possibility that you might have any empathy for Holden in the first place.

Violation of Rule Two
I mean, I'd be fine if he were beaten by a mob of angry Exalted fans. But not getting paid is just beyond the pale. Or it would be if he hadn't managed to make even this poetic.
Could we not go down this road? All Holden did was work on a game: nothing there justifies getting physically injured.

I have it. My Ex3 Deluxe is in my hands.
And I fear being charged with reckless endangerment, gods those things could maul you if you dropped it on your foot.
At least the physical quality does not disappoint. Same with the screen, it looks serviceable enough and the images facing the players are good (even if I'm a bit dubious of Wolfer's loincloth), and gods, I could use the freaking map as a tablecloth, it's HUGE (and a quality that eclipses the map of Dreams of the First Age)

A friend of mine has expressed an interest in playing a Xianxia-ish game. One of my first thoughts was to do Solars or Dragonblooded in modified 2.5e or vanilla 3e, but then I remembered that said friend is a beginner in Tabletop, so she might be overwhelmed by Exalted. So, Burn Legend was the next idea, but I didn't spend much time reading up on it.
What's the general opinion on Burn Legend? And is it possible to run Xianxia with it?

Burn Legend is sick as fuck but it is very Wuxia, with its focus on what's pretty much Jiang Hu, which is a different flavour to Xianxia. How Xianxia-esque do you want it to be?
EDIT: Actually, if you refluff the capabilities vs. Target Numbers, you could probably use Legends of Wulin or Weapons of the Gods. I'd recommend the former but either would probably work for your purposes.

One of the requests my friend made was, in her own words, "simple, light, easy to learn" and "tactical flexibility and options for combat". She grew up with arcades and enjoys fighting games like Tekken, Soul Calibur, Street Fighter, Dead or Alive, Shenmue and God Hand to name a few, so things that are based on those would make her happy.
To be honest though, I only know of Wuxia. Xianxia is something I have little clue on. The closest thing I could think for Xianxia would be Bioware's Jade Empire. If the system can do that, then I can learn, extrapolate, and work with it. But Exalted already does something similar, so it's my first, but not best, option.
I'll go ask my other friends if they have either of the two games, and see if they can explain it to me. And see if they also have copies of the Street Fighter RPG.

Those things are not Xianxia so now I'm kinda confused as to what she's looking for.
Jade Empire is pretty solidly Wuxia. Xianxia is very different.
I've heard the Street Fighter RPG was actually pretty damn good, though I don't have much experience with that.
EDIT:
As it turns out, some beautiful madman gave so much of a shit about this game that he made a fansite with a lot of links, information and homebrew. Definitely check it out.

I heard something along the lines that Burn Legend's system was basically Street Fighter the RPG 2nd Edition. Don't know how true that is.

Based on what I can grok, she wants a good combat system that is cinematic. I'll just ask again specifically what genre she wants. I'm probably misremembering and mixing up terms since I'm tired and sleepy.
I vaguely remember some homebrew regarding a Infernal Exalted Caste that had Kimbery as the source. I beleive that this was calle a Tsunami Caste but I am afraid that I do not remember anything more and cannot find anything on this new Caste online. Is anyone here able to provide me with some more information on the original homebrew or interested in starting a new version?

It isn't; Burn Legend is developed far more than Street Fighter ever was - it's core resolution system functions entirely differently, and at the core is designed explicitly for the purpose of fighting to such a degree that it has entirely discarded any trait unrelated to hitting things in the face and folded those into backgrounds.
Wuxia is a specific genre of Chinese fantasy with a focus on martial artists and their adventures in (often) Ancient China and their interactions with the Jianghu (martial arts world); xianxia is like wuxia but it has more supernatural elements.

Wuxia is Chinese martial arts fantasy. Think Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. Exalted draws a fair bit from this genre.
Xianxia is an extension of this genre drawing upon Daoist Internal Alchemy beliefs, defined by the inclusion of fantastical elements and silly powerlevels in which the characters can call the wind and summon the rain or topple mountains and overturn seas. Most of the genre is terribly trashy (I speak from experience here).

So, had a moment of inspiration a while back, but I need some help with Exalted canon to make it work. Where, precisely, is the 'seat of thought' located in Exalted? Is it just the brain like real life, the heart like the Egyptians considered it to be, is it considered to be related to the soul, or is it somewhere else?

The Hun soul is generally considered to the seat of higher thought, compared to the Po soul being the seat of lower thought.
