The Upback press is just an extra trick of the trade, though. You still have all of the rest of Leona’s usual skills to work with, the the ability to combo into DM from c.C->f+a. Didn’t someone also mention you can combo into DM from A quick Hop A?
In the corner: Jump C, C, CD xx B.Baltic Launcher, CD xx C.Moon Slasher. 405 damage o_O.
I’m not really a KOF player, but it seems like Moon Slasher has a sweet-spot. If you don’t get it (and I haven’t been able to do it since I noticed the sweet spot existed, lol), it’ll do 378 damage.
Off a CC in corner:
lp Moon Slasher(x3), hp Moon Slasher(x2) 605 Damage
You have to input the lp Slashers as quickly as possible or the first hp Slasher doesn’t bounce them high enough to combo after.
You can also Super after the first hp Slasher.
yeah her corner cc does redic damage for just being moon slashers… I was so amazed by it when I tried it.
The one I do is lp Moon Slasher (x4), CD xx lp Moon Slasher.
Getting the CD to combo after the last Moon Slash is pretty hard, same goes for getting the Moon Slash after it.
Has any1 found any shenanigans with back run? Besides back run to immediate slash.
I still haven’t gotten 605 damage off that combo…but if you do
lp moon slasher x2, hp moon slasher, cd, hp moonslasher it does like 515 or something… (im guessing you meant 505 and not 605
or if you finish with super instead of cd hp moon slasher it does like 565…
Midscreen the best I can find is
CC f+b xx qcb+hp, f+b, f+b Hp slasher (360ish, or super 460ish)
there is a trick to f+b cancel int qcb+hp you need to make sure you actually do the f+B immediately with none of the auto run inbetween so it actually retains its ability to cancel as if you had canceled into it…
CC lp moon, hp moon, lp moon, hp moon, hp moon
633 damage >.>
outside corner I was doing
lp moon, f.C, lp. moon, run s.C, hp moon, hp moon for like 460 ish damage?
wow really on that first one, tight, Im totally going to try that out tomorrow moon slasher cc does soooo much…
using f.c is a really good idea I should try that though instead of run c hp moon you might be able to do running x-caliber obviously you’d run jump then hp moon for a bit more damage.
x-calibur tends to gimp the damage and end the CC…which since there’s a bit of recovery on it, I don’ think you can get a moon slasher off after
what I WANT to work is
lp moon, f.C, lp moon, grand saber, moon slasher, moon slasher…but they seem to land too soon for the grand saber 
also, I forgot to add the last moon slasher in my “anywhere” combo…just edited it in
Midscreen I’ve gotten CC, LP Moon Slasher, f+C, HP Moon Slasher, f+C, super to work. Don’t remember the damage though, and I’m not in a position to test it again right now. I wanna say it was like 537 dmg.
I’m a little unsure about ending with moon slasher in the corner.
Can’t they roll right afterwords? If so I’m looking for a safer ender. Even if neither has frame advantage, I would hate to lose anti-wakeup options.
The cc I use is 2147+c, f+b, 2147+c, f+bxx 23632147+p . I have trouble hitting the super sometimes, have no idea what the damage is
i’ve got a quick noobie question about leona’s CC combos.
when you’re doing her special moves, do you need to charge? i’ve tried just doing :d::u: + punch for moon slashers, but i always wind up dropping the opponent after the first moon slasher.
if you don’t need to charge, then i guess it’s my timing.
Yeah you need to charge. Your timing mite just be a little off
Her Moon Slasher and Blue Ball have different charge times. Like, Moon Slasher is count to 1. While Blue Ball is about 4. I’m not sure about her G Saber.
I like how its easier to combo into Moon Slasher now, it was a bitch on the old KOF’s for me to combo into her Moon Slasher!
It still feels like she lost her awesome as hell HyperHop Jump Attack Pressure in this game!
I’m having trouble getting 214+p after f+b any help?
just work on your timing. Im praticing C, fwd+b, V-Slasher
Do you know if its on hit or what? I do it on hit all day and nothing?
right when she nails her flip kick, u better be hitting the next button already have done the motion. Practice makes perfect.
Also keep in mind u can’t do the flip kick standalone, u have to combo into it. like from Standing C
