Leo Neutral Solved 

This is the exact type of guide I needed. When I look for Leo guide idc about moves and their properties I can look them up in the movelist. I want to know how to play this character without getting spammed the hell out of me. Now we need a Leo pressure game video and defensive game vs aggressive players.

As someone new to leo that struggles with the neutral this video is gold. Id be interested in more videos like this as you find more neutral tools as well if thats something youd be into.

Df3 is really slept on. The range it has plus alleviating one of Leo's only weaknesses (which is sidestepping since Bajiquan has a lot of linear movement) just goes hard.

Good to know i've been doing things at least half right! I think my biggest fault is I do usually let B1 rip into either 1+2 bok or 4 and let the stance be my mix up option alone, and rely on it too much to get into pressure. With just doing B1 though, it's basically a mix on top of a mix, but in a different way. Very good tip! I'll have to utilize that. Two i'd like to add myself is I love throwing out sway 3+4 to either get in or meet an approaching opponent, and I find it catches people all the time. Then also, as I play more defensive, throwing out F3+4 has been working out great for me too! Think of it almost like Bryan's standing 3+4. That, combined with D2, i've had pretty good success on defense when frustrating my opponent and forcing them to get impatient and make mistakes, just to blow them up.

B3+4 was such a godlike move in T7. The way I got so many CHs from baiting my opponent with this into KNK 2. Definitely gonna make use of this again

Bro I take all your tech then add my own twist to it and stomp people it’s hilarious bro 😂😂😂! You’re definitely the best Leo out there hands down. 💪🏿

Oh thank god. No joke, using these three moves far more often finally broke my plateau at Fujin and let me rise up 2 ranks tonight. It seriously cannot be understated how valuable they are to Leo's neutral game. *Especially* df+3, IMO; if you don't make ample use of this, it becomes incredibly difficult to properly keep good players in check in the higher ranks, and no other move gives you more time to safely process the enemy's next move like this one. You're doing awesome work, Richie!

New Leo main here. keep up these great videos, they help me out a ton.

Hey Richie im a hard stuck eliminator orange rank, I’ve used all your tactics and watched your videos religiously. By chance could you possibly make a video about how us Leo mains can take what we learned from you and make a video simply on how to play Leo at a basic rank standard? Simply because I take what you teach us but it’s hard to use it online, especially that I’m a new tekken 8 player. And if not you still helped me excel and keep doing what your doing!!

Another banger. Thanks king 🎉

I play leo a lot and im 10 dan but i dont play much. I enjoy him but sometimes i forget those simple moves like df3 so to get this really helps. Plus i kinda forgot how creative Leo can actually be.

I'm improving at Tekken thanks to you! Keep it up

Im having problems with combo consistency can you make a video on the most reliable combos for damage and all angles?

I know you are probably not gonna read this long text but still i wanted to thank you for your videos they are really full of precious info. Tekken 8 is my first fighting game and Leo is the first char i tried and instantly clicked with, even if in the first days i was discouraged since i couldn't even do his normal combos from the training without hurting my fingers. Then i found your videos and i watched literally ALL your videos religiously and i learnt so much! you explain things so well that i wrote like 6 pages of notes XD. I still can't do super technical stuff like the pick up from one of your recent videos but i am slowly improving and i reached purple ranks only thanks to you so please keep going you are an amazing Leo and Tekken player! One thing i would like to learn is better combos without depending on heat, at the moment i do :launcher:>b1,1+2,1,f3,BOK1,2 and end with b1+2,1+2 d,df,f2 for damage when there's no wall and for wall carry i do :launcher: b1 f4KNK,crouchdash WS3, f4KNK crouchdash WS 2,1 (and if they hit the wall) i do b4 KNK4,3 tornado, now if they end up on the top part of the wall i go for BOK power crush , d3+4 (the stomp). if they end up on the lower part of the wall i just go WS 1,4,1. The biggest problem is when i hit someone after a sidestep and i launch them from behind/their side, i can't find a consisent way to keep them in the air because the normal combos drop them. Thank you again for all your videos they teached this newbie so much and i still have a lot to learn! i can't wait to see more

You’re awesome

Needed this

Thanks

Man I miss b1 ch property. The reason I picked up Leo

FeelsSleepyMan

Can someone pls make a list for those who are in a hurry 🥹

People mash too much on my leo. Been tryna work in movement to jus whiff punish, but jesus people mash so much

The reason why I picked up Leo( aside from always wanting to play Leo) was due to the fact it takes skill to play Leo at a high Level. THIS. Is a perfect example of what I mean.

Ayoouu.💖 I love what you just explained about Leo's b1, but one thing I'd like about her df,3 is that on block, it pushes the opponent away in comparison to T7 where it used to leave her face to face with the opponent which made it completely useless. You could also do df3 from a tip range which will push the opponent even further. Glad other properties of this move were untouched such as being a homing move, wallsplat, and knocks the opponent away on CH. Cheers💖

When doing b3+4 it's best to do it from at least 1 backdash away or farther. Lots of new Leo players make the mistake of trying to do it from range 0 and they get hit. At point blank it will only evade stubby i20 or slower moves so it's not worth it.

Im a new Tekken/fighting game player coming from smash, so I barely understand anything in terms of Tekken language. But I picked up Leo, and started watching your guides to get a general feel for the game. Right now im still at a point where i find myself just pressing random stuff that feels right, but i really appreciate the time and detail you put into these videos. I cant wait for the day im able to do one of these long string combos you always see in tournaments!

I’m only tenryu but had to start using Df3 bc purple ranks plus are ss everything

Always learn a lot watching your stuff :)

Oh yeah random tech too. If you go into KNK stance and heat smash you can get a guaranteed F1+2, even at the wall 😂! But try it and with the way the opponent is in the air do you think you can find a way to get a combo from that? I’ve been looking but I’m going to lab it when I get off work later on.

I’ve always been a Lee/Raven main but I wanted to play someone different. I’ve loosely played Leo since T6 but I’ve been literally destroying players with leo I’m currently a Mighty Ruler. However I’m still doing the df1, d1, wr141 wall combo 😂

Great video as always. What is the background music track?

Hey bro can you help me understand when to use 2,2 instead of 1,2 staggers up close? I notice when im getting staggered to death by Lily or Nina i have much better luck breaking their pressure with 2,2 for the fast mid even though its slower and negative.

Never thought of just using b1 as a poke by itself. Really handy tip! So far your videos got me to flame ruler, fingers crossed I can hit Fujin.
