Overview
Overview

 Leo Whitefang  Leo Whitefang , classified as a Balance character, is an all-rounder who wields twin swords, turning his back to his opponent as he fights.

Pros
Cons
  • Range: normals have great reach, which allows him to control space effectively. Leo can also reverse beat from 5H, 2H and 6H back into f.S or 2S, which allows him to extend pressure in unique ways.
  • Brynhildr Pressure: terrifying up-close pressure and a myriad of mixups while in Brynhildr stance. He gets a fast low, a comboable overhead, and a command grab to boot. Kaltes Gestöber Zweit lets him transition to Brynhildr while giving the opponent a grounded crossup to worry about.
  • High Burst Damage: he can dish out heavy burst damage, thanks to Brynhildr stance and Stahl Wirbel. Leo especially hurts when he gets a counterhit, which helps establish his offense and make his opponents afraid.
  • Defense: Leo is blessed with a meterless reversal. Due to it having a down charge move, it's also resistant to crossups.
  • Gambler: he has to take risks in order to get in and mix up his opponents. His only fireball that reaches fullscreen is very slow and Brynhildr stance relies on the Kahn Schild counter for defense.
  • Slow: Leo can have a hard time getting into his optimal range in certain matchups. He is very big and slow, and his run can easily be counterpoked if he's not up close and thrown up close if he's predictable.

  • [] is frame data for cross through
  • Crosses through opponent if close.
  • Transitions to Brynhildr stance on crossup.
  • Can be thrown making it risky to do raw, especially off of cancels
  • Instant blocking leaves Leo point blank range and -1, with all options except for super being punishable by a throw OSed with 66RC, and backdash escaping a non OSed throw

Leo's runthrough is an extremely important tool for entering Brynhildr stance off essentially any knockdown, but its usage in neutral is one you will have to scout your opponents ability to deal with or else you will be eating a lot of throws. It can also be used a bit cheekily with 66RC to close gaps and throw, but it is an expensive option so use it sparingly. Minor note is that there is 1 frame as Leo transitions from front to behind the opponent where the opponent will throw in the wrong direction, and be punished by 236H.

  • Leo's only defensive option from backturn.
  • Catches strikes and reflects projectiles.
  • At range, attacks will be deflected off the shield and stagger the opponent, but won't guarantee damage.

The threat of this move makes mashing out of backturn pressure very scary, as you can turn generic mash buttons into parries off of blocked backturned moves. Good move for forcing opponents to respect you, but be warned that you will lose to throws or longer moves performed on read.

  • Very fast.
  • High damage.
  • Hits fullscreen.

Just as good as it always was. Great to cash out after you catch someone with a backturn button as its single hit makes it great for adding damage and giving you a launch early on in combos. It's also helpful as a reaction super if you happen to be in backturn in neutral, which assuming you are means you're just enough of a nut to scare people with it.
