Discuss the mirror match of the century here.

Can be pretty hard for Leo if he gets put in the corner against stance. All of bt's normals are much faster and have higher priority than his standard set.

If you try to mash out you'll probably get D countered or CH'd with bt.S or K then comboed. If you try to [4]6S out he can beat it with aforementioned normals before the start up and bt.H you before you finish charging [2]8S.

I'd imagine FD, BS, Dead Angle are your only real options if you don't wanna waste a burst. If you don't have meter you could go for a CH 2S. It's relatively fast but it's punished you may risk taking even more damage.

H Eisen Sturm RRC is extremely strong against stance mixups. Remember, you can't mess up Leo's reversal inputs by sideswitching. Besides that, Leo does really poorly when he's at frame disadvantage in this matchup, because he doesn't have a faster midrange poke than 7 frame 2K or 8 frame 5K.

 

Fireballs are very risky in this matchup because Leo's IAD j.K is so strong. In general, the Leo that gets above the other will gain control of the matchup from j.K. Whiffing moves besides 5H is risky because of IAD j.K.

 

Meter management is crucial to earning an advantage. Don't waste your meter.
