Rolande, a woman thief of the Silk Road, died saying, "The man I love is the strongest man in the world." In order to justify his lover's last words, Leon entered the last DOA, only to be defeated. With memories of Rolande still haunting him, Leon declares, "I shall win this time," pledging his all upon the grave of a woman whose body lies buried beneath the desert floor.
Movelist and frame data
Leon is a very aggression-oriented grappler. He has multiple guard break moves that give him frame advantage, and a high-damage catch throw.
Leon's
is a natural combo on hit, is safe on block and has a follow-up the opponent has to watch out for, making it one of his most useful strings.
All of his launchers cause a wall-splat, so after a wall hit his
move is his best option for getting the most guaranteed damage in. The second hit can be charged slightly for some extra damage.
His
is a catch throw, meaning it is a throw that can interrupt an attacking opponent, and it hits for high damage.
Leon's air throw, done by pressing
next to a launched opponent, is a strong move that should ideally be used to finish any juggle, if possible.
