Bread n' butter

Bread n' butter combos are juggles that:

Work on as many different launchers as possible
Work on all body sizes

Launchers that require unique combos go straight to § Staples.

Regular launch (e.g. df+2): f+2 b+1,1+2~D BOK.1,2 T! b+1+2,1+2,qcf+2

Instant Tornado (e.g. low parry): T! b+1,4~DF >ws3 f+4,DF~2,4

Heat Dash (e.g. db+2,4,H.F): f+2 b+1,1+2~D BOK.1,2 T! b+1+2,1+2,qcf+2

Staples

Staple combos are juggles that:

Can be done consistently by a skilled player
Either work on all body sizes, or the characters it does work on are comprehensively listed
Are not strictly worse than another combo listed in terms of difficulty, damage, wall carry, and oki

Leo has two common enders:

BBP (barge barge punch/palm): b+1+2,1+2,qcf+2
DLS (Dragon's Impact Lightning Skypiercer): SSR b+4,1~4~DF >CD.2,4

Both are enders used for damage, with different combo starters and routes preferring one over the other. Other enders such as f+4~DF >ws3,1 can be used for oki.
