KNK Cancels

Leo can cancel quickly out of KNK stance in order to follow up with a standing move. This technique can be used to quickly block out of KNK stance, in combos with b+4~1,4 KNKc HB extenders after tornado, and more. This technique is also used inside combos in order to cancel f+4 repeatedly into further uses of f+4 for extremely high wall carry. To perform a KNK cancel, you must press down-forward to go into crouch dash from KNK, and then quickly tap up to cancel the crouch dash motion. Notationally, it looks like: f+4~df,n,u.

iws3 Pickups

Leo can use an instant ws3 in order to pick up a combo after certain moves, most importantly uf+2,1, a safe (but steppable) mid-mid launcher if picked up, but also b+2+3 on CH or parry, as well as CH (CD.2,)1.

The input must be done immediately after recovery (for uf+2,1), and after a dash (for b+2+3 and CH (CD.2,)1). The input should look like d,df,n,3 or d,df,f,3 with the df and n or df and f inputs each being one frame each. Note that as noted in the Staple combos, uf+2,1 has an alternative, much simpler pickup with Heat Burst which also guarantees a combo.
