I'd be more worried about him being a shitty bayman clone. Honestly i feel Bayman got the most love out of all the grapplers in vanilla 5. one of the best evasive tools in the game with side tank roll, parries, back turned parries, back turned frame advantage throw, advance counters, the best offensive holds that do shit ton of damage along with his damaging throws, his guaranteed P+K sitdown and force tech shenanigans his insane wall reset game with his wall OH throw, and has some great mixups for a grappler. now add in his new backward tankroll which gives him a great command back dash to allow spacing and avoid wake up kicks and you have a complete beast of a character with no real weaknesses other than his speed.

with all this in baymans arsenal where does that leave leon? he has nothing bayman doesn't already have other than an air grab which doesn't make up for what he lacks in comparison to bayman. My main question is why would anyone choose to use leon over bayman? from all the gameplay vids he seems the same ole same ole from before without anything notably new so unless he has some secret hidden tools he'll most likely be inferior to bayman in every way

how many times must clowns be reminded, we know shit about Leon and only gameplay vids of him are from scrubs who have no idea how to play him at a basic level much less utilize potential new doa5u stuff he'll have. so i suggest you calm the down with your assumptions until we get an indepth look on him before spouting your "shitty bayman clone" garbage

Guard Breaks like you wouldn't believe.
Forehead of steel (amazing stuns)
Something about "Strongest Man in the World" that should make anyone's ears perk up (insane damage output).
And the only 4 step Combo Throw that has existed in the series (Dervish Throw).

When all else fails Leon is a great channel for anger issues.

All he said is he's WORRIED that that will happen just like i"m WORRIED I might get shot walking somewhere or i'm WORRIED someone I know might get into a car accident, he's not spouting shit. That would be saying Leon IS a shitty clone, he's just WORRIED he doesn't become one. Jeez if he can't say he's worried on FSD where can he say it, definitely not Shoryuken.

In other news the gameplay vid posted in this thread was leagues above what TN showed. Sly Bass please quell our fears tomorrow, and have a safe trip man!
P.S This thread for a character that's not even out has been more active than the entire Gen Fu thread has ever been -tear tear-

Bayman and Leon are perfect partners when performing tag throw on any female fighter.

Is there any video showing Leon or Ein performing tracking strike? Just curious.

Leon hasn't been a Bayman clone since DOA3 he'll be fine. Synce has already told us that his air throw height has been lowered which was all he needed. On top of that, he has a ground bounce throw which guarantees his air grab. Absolutely nothing to worry about.

Leon is not a shitty Bayman clone, just because both characters play totally different, Bayman is a evasive character while Leon is more agressive. Bayman have great offensive holds and Leon have a lot of guard breaks and more damaging throws. What I´ve asking for Leon since I main him in DOA4 is for different animations for some of his attacks and holds(Plus his Tag Throws too)
He still need some changes to feel more unique, but I think we are going to see that in 5U.

disappointed his ground bounce throw IS the hit throw and only connects from a fully charged P+K on hit apparently...shits gonna be worthless. other than that he looks damn good so far

that charged CB can be used to bypass the stun system from what hear,they also said because he gets advantage on guard break you can make i believe they said the Grenade Toss unholdable.

Seriously? That's lame as hell.

yup just watched an archived stream of someone going through his combo training. its already bad enough its a hit throw for his CB which is already slow uncharged but to make the hit throw only possible when fully charged while having to time the throw input right is BS. not even the most scrubby of players will get hit by that shit, definitely a high risk low reward move which sucks since its one of the few new moves he actually got
