Tips

  • 0

    Punish Leo's df+2 (-13 on block) or uf+4 (-13 on block) with 1+2 (Demon Bear Breath), which is an i13 Heat Engager.

  • 0

    Leo's BOK.3 is a homing high that is +5 on block; use HBS (3+4) to go under it and potentially launch with HBS.df+2.

  • 0

    If Leo uses the db+4,1 string, be ready to punish the second hit (-16 on block) with df+2,1 for a full launch.

  • 0

    Kuma's db+4 is a low that starts in i21 and is a Tornado on counter hit, useful for catching Leo trying to transition into KNK stance.

  • 0

    Use f,f,F+1+2 to approach, as it is +3 on block and a Heat Engager, forcing Leo to handle Kuma's close-range pressure.

  • 0

    Leo's f+1+2 shoulder is -14 on block; use d+1+2 (Hip Smash) for a heavy i14 punish that leads to a knockdown.

  • 0

    When Leo enters BOK stance, be wary of BOK.3+4, a double low that is -13 on block; punish it with your ws1,2 or ws1.
