THE STRONGEST THREAD IN THE WORLD (The LEON Thread)

[Forlorn Penguin]

@Forlorn Penguin

Also just unlocked a title for Leon called :"Don't give a damn about Tengu!" lmao

I got that one too. Might use it for the irony.

It's sadly the only time Tengu's presence is felt in DOA5.

You're obligated to use it.

Seems like Leon gets extremely easy air throws off of everybody but super heavy weights (including Helena). Which is a wonderful thing.

 

[Argentus]

Good lord I can't get the mount tackle to come out on ps3dpad....

Also I'm reqlly surprised they made him focus on air throw with almost no emphasis or use on/of hos mount tackle. Guess they let Mila keep her post as resident tackler so it wpuldnt interfere with Leons moveset

 

[XZero264]

Leon's Power Blow and his Power Launcher are the only things I really have an issue with right now. The commands are extremely similar and if you mess up with the PL you will easily get a PB instead.
Then again I seem to always have a hard time with quarter circle moves in general without analogs.

 

[DontForkWitMe]

My one and only complaint is how useless all his 9k launchers are. i've tried everything and he doesn't get anything from them unless launched at maximum stun thresh hold. otherwise he is as good as ever. im still rusty as hell haven't played vanilla since back in feb and so shaking off all that rust while relearning Leon who i haven't used in years a pain

 

[Argentus]

I say the best cliff hanger for him would be , he tackles them off the ledge then just keeps punching them in the face all the way to the ground and gives them one big punch when they land and rolls off them .

That's already milas cliffhanger though. Leons is his old stair throw where he slams you by the leg.


Also, how do I unlovk leons costumes? Arcade? And does he only have the one unlockable tanktop, or more?

 

[UprisingJC]

Made this video yesterday.

As @DontForkWitMe said, Leon's 9K still sucks...I excluded it from this video.

 

[PJudge]

That combo video has made the fact that I won't get this until tomorrow at the earliest even more unbearable. Why couldn't we have a UK and US release date at the same time That combo video is cool though, looks like Leon is exactly how I wanted him to be, except for the 9K launcher, but I can get used to that.

 

[Argentus]

I'm learning him fast. Shame sidestep is still useless or ss ARM grenade would be awesome.

 

[XZero264]

I don't know. DontForkWitMe me me good with SS Arm Grenade earlier.

Anyway, Hi-Counter Desert Falcon on Lost World: 157 Damage.

Wall detection for wall damage is kind of like Mila's 214T near walls, you practically have to be perpendicular or horizontal to them to actually hit the damn things. Corners suck too.

 

[Aven Kujo-Gin]

I´m the only one who think the ways to get a catapult throw are ridiculously easy?

 

[Argentus]

Im also more than a little surprised he can't ss mount tackle like Mila.

 

[Argentus]

Agreed. Can't help but compare to Mila again, in that while her entire moveset leads into mount tackle, seems they were trying to make Leons entire moveset lead into desert falcon.

If that case, then the height requeriments should back to the doa4 ones. Or Leon will be so fucking easy and no interesting at all. Don´t get my wrong, I don´t want a shit tier Leon, but I don´t want a god tier Leon either.

What about Leon-tier Leon?

In all seriousness though, somewhere between DOA3 and DOA4 would be good. I always found that DOA4 was pointlessly difficult, and only ever went for it if I just happened to get the height right. DOA3 was easy to hit though, the opponent barely had to lift off the ground. I did like that I could do it from 4PK though.

It wasn´t that difficult, it was just a little tricky, for example, a normal hit that stun(H+K for example) followed for P+K and then K while rising lead you onto the air throw. Only in three hits.

I got it eventually, it just took a while for me to figure out what to do to get them that high. Either way, I imagine that what I had to do in DOA4 works better in DOA5U so I'm happy. I'll be happier when it turns up!

 

[Aven Kujo-Gin]

Just take a look at his whole moveset, the only nerf I saw is the loss of the walk around stun of his 8K, no more safe(or semi-safe) 9P after that.

 

[KidArk]

I'll put any combos I get here in this post
Stun 8p , 3k , 234 p , 66 , T ?
Can Leon back turn people by any chance?
