Hopes/Worries for DOA5 Leon?

Yes, but they appear to be stretched so far apart from each other that the level really just looks like an improved Dojo to me. I hate Dojo.

But hey, we'll see how good it is when the game comes out.


Think of it this way: It really showcase Leon's strength since he'll be able to send them flying across quite a distance!

Like any new/returning character, my hopes for him are "is he top tier" and my worry is that he'll be low tier.

This attitude doesn't scare me away from a character. Bring on the challenge I say.

What I'm looking for is his 33P to return and have the sit down from that guarantee some kind of follow up. Similar to Bayman's P+K, 3K, 236P.

Slightly related.

1) I Still hope he has a special tag team with Mila. (I'm still saying she's his daughter and Lauren was spanish)
2) Just like she got a Bass cosplay, I hope Mila gets a Leon cosplay.

OOOh....wouldn't it be cool if Leon had a Cross Bomber tag grab with Bass? (For those of you who don't know, a Cross Bomber, is two people performing a lariat on a third guy.)

Considering Bass has the Kinniku Buster, and Tina has the Palo Special, and I coulda sworn I saw someone doing the Tower Bridge as well, it wouldn't hurt to see one MORE Kinnikuman move in DOA!

Mila cosplays as Bass because shes a huge fan(and TN likes reusing stuff) i doubt she even knows who the hell Leon is.

Welp, she had to learn Leon's takedown somewhere! Again, my fan theory is that she's his daughter by way of Rolande...er, Lauren.

Plus, I guarantee you she'll know who he is by the time DOA5U comes out and he wrecks everyone in the cast!

I have a feeling Leon and Rachel will get some tag moves together. its only natural that the strongest man in the world and the strongest woman in the world team up.

I'm worried that crybabies might end up spamming Team Ninja's Twitter page saying he's too "cheap" or "broken":rolleyes:(MaxDrago lol). But im pretty sure Leon will be a balance character.

I hope he has enough moves that will give him + on block.

Depends on what you mean. If people complain that he can guard break, sure, screw those guys. But if we find that he has an infinite? No, get rid of that, Leon ain't no pussy that has to use an infinite.

Guard breaks & deadly combos.

Do you guys think it would be better if Dervish and/or Desert Falcon were a OH? Cause Leon only have 3 OH in DOA4 and it´s kind of lame for a grappler.

That´s what I thought too. Also, I was thinking about the new throw in the trailer. I smell the input will be :2::1::4::F+P: . Cause Rig have the animation of Leon old :2::1::4::F+P: for his :2::F+P: . So Leon will no longer have this throw, unless they change Rig throw animation. In that case maybe the inpunt will something like :4::6::F+P:. But who knows.

To be fair, I seem as more of a "Brawler" than a straight up "grappler".

Definitions aside, his signature grabs SHOULD be OHs, especially considering his theme is "Strongest man in the world".
