This page is for Tekken 8. For Tekken 7, see Leo (Tekken 7).

Leo is an all-rounder with strong fundamental tools. Leo's primary focuses are wall pressure, through mixups involving moves like their hellsweep db+4 and KNK stance moves, as well as whiff punishing through moves like df+2. Leo also has great block and while standing punishment with a decent 1 jab and ws4, a safe-ish (-9) i11 with a Heat Engager followup. However, Leo has a fairly weak CH game, with few moves providing great reward, and their low game tends to falter outside of close range.

Strengths

• Jack Of All Trades, Master Of A Few. Leo's basic tools range from decent to amazing, allowing them to rely on fundamentals in most scenarios.
• Whiff Punish Machine. Leo's df+2 launcher reaches from range 2.5, allowing them to easily whiff punish a lot of moves. Also, f,F+2 reaches from range 3.75, leading to insane reward at the wall.
• Wall Monster. Leo gets great mixup potential at the wall, where a lot of good reward moves turn into great reward.
• Stances. Leo's BOK and KNK stances give great pressure, with a lot of moves that lead into them being at least slightly plus, and decently fast moves out of stance can make the opponent think twice before they try to punish.
• Sky's The Limit. Leo's qcf crouch dash, an already great mobility tool, can be cancelled, leading into amazing wall carry and mobility with good execution.
• Heat Smash. Leo's standing Heat Smash hits from range 2.5, is i16, jails into the +8 on block finisher, and can be cancelled into crouch dash by holding df, making you +16. If the opponent throws out a stubby move, you get a free chunk of damage, and on block, you get a free mixup.

Weaknesses

• Weak Low Pokes. Leo's lows are below average outside of mixup scenarios, being either stubby or slow.
• Linear. Some of Leo's good moves have poor tracking, making them susceptible to sidestep/walk.
