For those who haven't seen the list yet Leon got some buffs and adjustments.
9P on block is going from -9 to -2.
Huge buff. I wouldn't mind 7P being like that.
9K looks like it will be launching higher on crouching opponents and on Counter.
I'm going to assume this means on Counter+ or in stun 9K will be launching higher than it currently is. If this is true 9K will be his new go to launcher as it currently deals more damage than his WRK.
In it's current state (unpatched) it can be used as a launcher into air throw but only on anyone lighter than super heavies. What makes WRK better is that it launches higher and allows followups on said weight classes while you have to do an immediate throw afterwards, sacrificing damage in the process. Effectively the only launchers worse than 9K unpatched are 3P and hold 3P except near a wall (hold 3P won't get you a throw on SH). If Leon is able to even 3P after the new 9K then air throw people then we no longer have to risk missing crouching timing online or through nerves.
Gonna be a huge buff but we have to wait and see.
66T near a wall is "being replaced" by 33T. At first glance it means that Leon's 33T will act like his current 66T near a wall. Something he should have had from the start, more or less.
Read it a second time and I'm not sure if this means 66T is losing its walled version or if 33T is being added to the list. I'm hoping that second option is the case and 66T retains having a walled version.
So far no new moves. I wouldn't mind if he got his old KPP and PKK as well as his 214H+P from DOA3 (as an OH form a la Bayman). As far as his guard breask, give him the Ein treatment. Faster charges or more advantage on guard breaks because his 6P+K is 35 frames for Tracking Unblockable and 236P is 44 frames for +14 and only good against a wall.
Thoughts?
