Introduction

Leo is the shoto character of the game. He possesses quite a rounded moveset, but is slightly on the slow side. He has decent combo ability though he works best when played carefully. Leo cannot risk overcommittal even though his projectiles packs a punch. Knowing when to throw them (and learning not to use Endless Screw so much in neutral) is critical. His HP button is a really good overall button except for possibly his crouching punch. His far HP is a decent poke, Close HP has a lot of range and can combo, Jumping HP is great for air-to-air, but Crouch HP is quite slow as an anti-air despite having good priority.

Normal Attacks

Standing Light Punch	Guard Level Startup Active Recovery (whiff) Recovery (hit) Hitstun Advantage on Hit Cancelable? 6 1 7 0/+3 C/N/S This attack only combos in normal speed on P1 side due to hitstun differences.

Standing Light Kick	Guard Level Startup Active Recovery (whiff) Recovery (hit) Hitstun Advantage on Hit Cancelable? 5 1 8 -1/+2 C/N Your go-to poke move up close.

Close Light Kick	Guard Level Startup Active Recovery (whiff) Recovery (hit) Hitstun Advantage on Hit Cancelable? 5 1 8 -1/+2 C/N Same as the far version, but a low.

Standing Heavy Punch	Guard Level Startup Active Recovery (whiff) Recovery (hit) Hitstun Advantage on Hit Cancelable? 10 8 13 -6/-3 For 10 damage it is only decent as a semi-random poke. It's quite safe if it connects though

Close Heavy Punch	Guard Level Startup Active Recovery (whiff) Recovery (hit) Hitstun Advantage on Hit Cancelable? 7 5 21 -11/-8 S The proximity required for this move is extremely lenient. From max distance combo options are limited.

Standing Heavy Kick	Guard Level Startup Active Recovery (whiff) Recovery (hit) Hitstun Advantage on Hit Cancelable? 7 5 13 -3/-0 C/N/S A working anti-air that every turtle has.

Close Heavy Kick	Guard Level Startup Active Recovery (whiff) Recovery (hit) Hitstun Advantage on Hit Cancelable? 7 5 7 +3/+6 Another anti-air with better recovery.

Crouching Light Punch	Guard Level Startup Active Recovery (whiff) Recovery (hit) Hitstun Advantage on Hit Cancelable? 7 2 14 -7/-4 S It is possible to chain into this attack, but its startup stops this from comboing.

Crouching Light Kick	Guard Level Startup Active Recovery (whiff) Recovery (hit) Hitstun Advantage on Hit Cancelable? 5 1 9 -1/+2 C/N/S Doesn't hit as hard nor has much reach. Use this to end combos by cancelling into special.

Crouching Heavy Punch	Guard Level Startup Active Recovery (whiff) Recovery (hit) Hitstun Advantage on Hit Cancelable? 12 10 9 -4/-1 It looks like it would be a good anti-air, but require positioning with its picky hitbox. It also whiffs on certain crouchers.

Crouching Heavy Kick	Guard Level Startup Active Recovery (whiff) Recovery (hit) Hitstun Advantage on Hit Cancelable? 9 5 12 KD/+2 S (none)

Jumping Light Punch	Guard Level Startup Active Recovery (whiff) Recovery (hit) Hitstun Advantage on Hit Cancelable? link 6 infinite N/A N/A (none)

Jumping Heavy Punch	Guard Level Startup Active Recovery (whiff) Recovery (hit) Hitstun Advantage on Hit Cancelable? link 6 10 N/A N/A Not as much stun as djHK, but has a much better hitbox for air-to-air. It also covers below him near the end.

Jumping Heavy Kick	Guard Level Startup Active Recovery (whiff) Recovery (hit) Hitstun Advantage on Hit Cancelable? link 5 5 N/A N/A (none)

Diagonal Jump Heavy Kick	Guard Level Startup Active Recovery (whiff) Recovery (hit) Hitstun Advantage on Hit Cancelable? link 5 10 N/A N/A Great for crossups, and has better stun than jHP.

Special Moves

Shining Cutter (Light)	Guard Level Startup Active Recovery (whiff) Recovery (hit) Hitstun Advantage on Hit Cancelable? 7 N/A 34 -5/-2 Recovery time is based on when the move misses. The slowdown from hit will extend recovery, so being close will leave you open. The advantage shown is from point-blank range.

Shining Cutter (Heavy)	Guard Level Startup Active Recovery (whiff) Recovery (hit) Hitstun Advantage on Hit Cancelable? 12 N/A 37 -8/-5 Recovery time is based on when the move misses. The slowdown from hit will extend recovery, so being close will leave you open. The advantage shown is from point-blank range.

Endless Screw

Guard Level Startup Active Recovery (whiff) Recovery (hit) Hitstun Advantage on Hit Cancelable? 5 1[12]... 1[2](repeat) 10 KD(first hit) +1/+4(even hits) +4/+7(odd hits) Both versions have identical data except that Heavy has an additional spin and one extra frame of recovery. First hit knocks down. First back spin does not have a hitbox. Past the second possible hit, only every other hit connects.

Roto Cutter (Light)	Template:TF-Dat5

Roto Cutter (Heavy)	Guard Level Startup Active Recovery (whiff) Recovery (hit) Hitstun Advantage on Hit Cancelable? 5 3 38 KD/-18 The DP you shouldn't use in any situation. Overall slower, and with no extra damage to compensate.
