Tips

  • 0

    Interrupt Leo's f+4 stance transition with Flash (1+4); even though Leo is +9, the i6 startup of Flash can catch incoming KNK options.

  • 0

    Use sidestep (SS) to the left to evade Leo's d+4,2 and f,F+2, then punish with SS.2 (Shrine) for a tornado launch.

  • 0

    Leo's db+4 low sweep is extremely unsafe at -31; punish with your most powerful delayed hopkick or ws2,1 for a full launch.

  • 0

    When Leo enters BOK stance, use df+4 (i12) to check him, as many BOK options have slower startups or can be interrupted.

  • 0

    Watch for Leo's f,f,F+3 (+6g on block); you can use Spinning Evade (b+3) to create space and reset the neutral if pressured at the wall.

  • 0

    Punish Leo's df+2 launcher or uf+4 hopkick with a i12 or i13 punisher like 4 or df+1 as they are -13 on block.

  • 0

    Leo's b+1+2 is -24 on block; use a heavy punisher like ub+4 (Avoiding the Puddle) to launch for massive damage.
