Comparing the two isn't really the best idea. Bayman's not about raw damage like Leon is. Bayman has more mix-up strings (including some that go into OHs), defensive options like the tank rolls, parries, expert holds etc. all of which Leon does not have access to. Leon does not have those tools. For compensation, he gets damage. Lots and lots of damage.
While Rachel players weep after the new patch, Leon players rejoice as his air throw is now much better and causes new combo opportunities he didn't have access to before due to the bug that made it not cause wall splat on many objects and walls. This video shows the carnage, devastation, and obliteration he is now capable of...enjoy
