KOF XII - Leona thread

yea there is the A version the orb is next to her and the C version is in the air but she doesn’t hop into it like before so it could make for a good anti-air

BTW instant overhead j.A xx v-slasher works. Input as qcf~u/f+A,hcb+P.

Hopefully on all characters (whiffs on small crouchers in earlier games T_T).

I suppose you would do the ground shortcut: qcf~uf~hcb+P DM. I’ll need to test it.

You could also juggle the opp in the air and probably just do it then.

sugarboy at CX says if you want to do a level 2 V-Slasher during a CC, you just need to input the standard motion qcf,hcb+P and Leona will do a short hop back before doing the DM. No need to jump for yourself.

!

N+B, D+B, D+A, U+C.

N+B hits low(mind games yay!! xD), and U+C turns into moon slasher. Decent fast combo.
Upon your enemy’s wake up, if timed correctly, the opponent MUST either block, Back+CD, or eat it.
Great with low/high/grab mix-ups.:smokin:

Man I wish I would have read through this thread more carefully before playing yesterday. I couldn’t figure out the Grand Saber dash. It was like… run… ok, where’s the attack? I played against a fireball spamming Robert and the fake out would have really taken his game apart.

was able to practice this at the KoFXII tounrie/party. noticed that the moon slasher have to be the A version cause the C version will end the CC mode. Couldnt connect the V-Slasher though. Maybe you have to TK it?

See;

Did you try that?

nope. didnt know you could do it that way till today lol

That’s only for the instant DM after the CC (you know, the one with the gold flash). I’m pretty sure if you wanna do it at the end of a CC combo you will need to jump into it thus TK motion is the way to go.

Tried out more Leona today.

Leona’s fwd+C is actually really good!

If you hit them with that move and you end up close, you can hit them with a combo since they are stunned for a second and it counts as a combo :tup:

So it was something like this
f+C, cr.C, f+B, qcb+C or Super

Leona’s super motion qcf, hcb ub+P is really good as an anti air from the ground :bgrin:

Leona is a really solid character in XII, her jump attacks aren’t as great like they used to be in the past KOF’s, but she is still pretty awesome.

well if she can’t be as good going in high, maybe sneaking in low.

her triple moonslice CC setup looks fun since it’s easy to finish with the super.

Are you SURE you comboed d+C after f+C?

I know you can combo f+C from her b,f+A move.

I would like to learn Leona this time.

I only have KOFXI at the moment and she’s not in that one…so yeah…

jumping D, standing A, standing C (or forward C?), Grand Saber?

That’s Jump D -> C -> CD -> grand saber

oh cool thanks.

will her super still work if you just stop at back instead of up/back? I have trouble with up angled motions.

which is why I prefer HD Remix Cammy’s hooligan special over classic ST/SFIV Cammy’s hooligan.

If I can’t get Leona’s super to work when I want, I might not be able to use her in my team if the up/back motion is too strict or I can’t get register that final position of the motion.

No way. Her V-Slasher DM is and always has been an AIR DM.
