An easy combo off of wakeup EX moonsmasher using OMB dl = delay EX moon(2) < OMB < (walk forward)< 2C < 5A < 5C < 2B(2) < 2AB > 236BdlBC > 214AA > EX moon builds 2 meter (training mode gives 10 for first hit so it ends at 12) You can omit the walk forward if your opponent is in the corner.

All, previous tournaments(not mine but other popular tournaments like AniClash and UBW I believe) haven't had that restriction and if we were to split the tournament into Regions there is a chance there wouldn't be enough players to warrant a prize pool.

I just "re" picked up Azrael recently and I've been playing online I have the general idea for his combo theory down but I'm still piecing together matchups. If anyone could stop by and give me advice when I stream at afreeca.tv/monokeros that'd be great, I usually play from 9am to noon PST everyday.

You are supposed to be able to 2C > IW at the end but if you time the 236C wrong Az doesn't recover fast enough so you can't end with IW.

it looks great thanks!

Can someone put bangs centralfiction artwork over his character symbol like this image for me?

You have to check in at 3PM EST and before 3:30PM EST at the latest. It comes with the territory of it being an online tournament, I'm currently taking a leaf out of theBretts online tournaments and adopting his policy which is this: "4) If neither player can connect to each other after all possible options are explored, the match will be resolved with RPS." In the case of disconnects, match is entirely restarted."

What sub-thread of the events section should I post it under? It's not really a local or a major.

How should we handle nico videos since they have multiple character matchups in them? Just post multiple copies with different timestamps in each matchup category?

I don't know if this is a high enough quality version but could I get a color 9 recolor of this for Leo? Collapsed: pic: Collapsed: color reference:

Video thread is up let me know if there are any match videos you guys want to see only ones I know of are footage from Zidane at TSB and some of the stuff I captured from min's streams.

I'd be wiling to do that also but I'm wondering what Leo videos do we have? I know there's a good amount of mini combo videos and some match footage but I don't know if we have enough to warrant a whole thread yet.

Yes it can but it's ground to air hitbox is so sad that you're more likely to just jump over it instead of actually block it in the air.

Just some corrections to your post, [4]6+H YRC time properly will hit meaty and you cant jump out of it after rekkas, Both P and K in BT stance are throw invul, but K is faster and a low starter so there isn't much reason to use P instead of K that I know of. J.D isn't an overhead you can block it low. Thanks for posting the combos I'll test the damages and add them accordingly.

Now that the US version is out figured I'd put this thread up, I'll be filling it up as we go and find optimal things. Post what you've found as well or any other significant combo starters that should be listed.

For the Leo combo thread would you guys rather his moves be listed in the notation by their German names and their acronyms? Like his fireball Graviert Wurde would be GW, his DP Eisen Sturm would be ES. etc. or something else?

vs Axl is the usual be patient because of his long normals but if you're BT at decent distance you can react to his normals with 632146S and it'll catch him pulling back the chain for huge damage. Even whiffing 5S at that range can payoff because it's hitbox will collide with his chains first before hitting you, counter doesn't do much though since it will only deflect at that range. On top of that our fireball stops him from pressing buttons too even the S version can condition him to not press 5P/2P to cover that space in front of you stopping your approach.

Fun little gimmick: if you're in stance with Leo holding 1/4 or 3/6 doesn't change your walk speed so you can hide a charge for a DP while moving towards/away from someone. Also if you want to get out of stance aside from just cancelling tossing a fireball will get you out as well. 236H YRC is sick for a safe crossup and you can still mixup High/low after. Also after RRC people love to superjump out of Leo's pressure so catching them jumping with 2K or 2D is a good thing to throw out. Tossing a few [4]6+S at neutral to force people to jump is good as well since his 6P is amazing and very reliable, you can throw it out pretty late and still nail the head invul.

You can use it to go through all of Venom's Dark Angel, and if you reflect set balls shot by Venom they just disappear haven't texted it his on other overdrive yet. Millia's Hairpin disappears Elph's grenade just floats through you but doesn't get nullified (it'll explode and everything) May's beachball fully reflects and you gain control of it but you can't jump off of it like May can (would've been sick) Ky's Boosted projectiles just get negated but regular SE/CSE reflect as usual.

Art posted a nice video of the matchup vs Millia from a JP lobby, I feel this video shows Leo has the tools to fight against Millia but a lot of his rushdown can get shutdown utilizing system mechanics alone. That aside though the Leo did miss some damage off of a few combos confirms, it being online and the character not even a week old this much is normal though. http://youtu.be/cbkWz25C79E
