Summary

Taijutsu specialist Rock Lee focuses on overwhelming the opponent with his fast, safe buttons, block pressure mixups and lengthy, flying-screen combos. While he can get walled by certain characters due to limited ranged options, once he breaks through he is formidable at close range for any opponent. His gate-opening serve as invincible reversals which also level up Lee's damage and give him access to new abilities, most notably his , Ura Renge, the most damaging un-charged super in the game.

Gameplay

Moveset

Basic Moves	Notes
	11f jab- one of the best in the game due to the speed. Additionally has very fast recovery.
	Lifting double kicks. His most consistent combo pickup on flying launch near walls.
	A stomping ground shockwave.
	Guard frame attack. Leans back then steps into a gutpunch. Can be charged and has extra guard frames when released. charged deals about half the opponent's guard meter; charged is an automatic guard break.
	Lunging strike.
	A flying kick with very high range; great as a whiff punish option. Can be Y-cancelled into a combo.
	A basic divekick. Good combo filler due to its high damage.
Special Moves
	A palm strike; Lee's palm behind him also has a hitbox; functions like a mid jab since it has similar strings to
	His signature overhead kick first performed on Gaara; when in gates, a rising hitbox appears on frame 8. Ground bounces the opponent.
	Leaf whirlwind; a sweep that becomes remarkably better in gates; after gate release(s) is plus on block and combos into
	One of the best counters in the game (active frame 8); allows an unsub if desired
	Leaf hurricane; starts up faster than Guy's version, but doesn't allow combos after. Good damage and useful as a combo finisher.
	A running slam that pushes on block; in gates, turns into a running teleport; in last gate, the running teleport tracks fullscreen.
	An overhead slam. Ground bounces on hit and crumples and pushes on block. Good air-to-air option.
Super Moves
	Primary lotus; damage and animation changes through gates
	Gate activation- first gate is 50% meter and second is 75%; the activation is a reversal. Pushes on block.

Strategy

In addition to increased damage, many of Lee's move properties change as he releases gates with .

• : Less recovery making the attack plus on block. Mix opponent by going for grab, jab, or even another 2A. Becomes a combo starter as it links to .
• : Now does half guard damage! Obviously good for guard breaking.
• : Now breaks complete guard! Self explanatory why that is good.
• : Becomes neutral on block. Still not the best option to do on blocking opponent.
• or : Changes running fist into teleport. Great for approaching when difficult to otherwise, can also reposition yourself when knocking down the opponent. is a set-distance teleport, tracks to the back of the opponent.
• or : unlocks Lee's air throw. Good pressure tool combined with 5BBAA. has a shorter window to tech than any other techable grab in the game, does more damage, leaves the opponent next to Lee and has a special animation.
• : Increased damage
• : Highest damaging super in the game outside of Sasuke and Kakashi's full chidori charge. Lee can super cancel off of every grounded move while in 2G. is unavoidable after the final backfist due the push on block leaving the victim stuck in their guarding animation.

Similar to the Hyuugas and Tsunade, Lee can feint or "Hyuuga-cancel" certain moves by pressing during the start up of the attack, improving Lee's guard pressure and allowing him to perform strike/throw mixes.

Combos

Because Lee's damage output changes as he opens gates, his combo structure needs to be adjusted to prevent the opponent from building enough meter to KNJ before a finisher.
