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 CD.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 and DLS having more difficult timing. Any combo ending with DLS can be ended with BBP instead for [2; 2] less damage. An ender such as f+4,df >ws3,1 can be used for oki, while an ender like f+4~df CD.3,1 can be used for wall splat.

Also note that these combos assume midscreen juggles which will not reach the wall. Higher level Leo play will focus more on tailoring the combo toward getting the opponent closer to the wall, so as to take advantage of Leo's high wall damage. For more information on combos with wall carry, including much more about combo theory and various routes you can take, see Toonfish's Leo Combo Guide.
