Julia is out from t8. Been maining her a year, hit Fujin in t7. Didn't know Leo had so much stuff! Their fighting style is very cool looking. Thank you for the vid, will come back when I get t8

Been waiting on this for a min 🔥 ty for being as great of a player as you are n inspiring me to pick up Tekken!

[@MeepMeep193]

I love Leo!! I got Tekken 8 a week ago, and have never had that much fun with a fighting game in forever. Looks like I have a long way to go still!

[@ayorichie]

That’s dope man good luck on the journey

[@Kardz6]

WE MAKING IT OUT OF GREEN RANK WITH THIS ONE 🗣 🔥🔥 APPRECIATE THE NEW CONTENT !!

[@BJ_DaMan1]

I keep doing the thing where Leo sways forward by accident, when im trying to do df1. Can someone help me?

[@BJ_DaMan1]

its really frustrating me

[@FortunePayback]

A full, comprehensive guide from the man himself! Been playing Miguel for over 10 years, but Leo is a character that i've always had interest in and dabbled with since Tekken 6! Without my main character, what better opportunity than now? Been watching your gameplay, along with Masa, almost exclusively trying to learn, but there is so much versatility to this character to the point it's confusing. This helped A LOT and I'm very exciting to jump in and do some damage with the character!

[@ayorichie]

I will make a video covering the confusion that I experienced while learning the character aswell dw

[@robertharris1076]

​@@ayorichieid love to see strings that include the down 1 2 ducking stance strikes I've done them by accident and can't figure it out 100% and I really really need a jab string that he's into a over head or just a combo that ges into or ends ina overhead. I've learned most on my wn without reading the moves. I'm not bad at all; I'm at vanquisher right now. Great video I'll keep tabs on you

[@imskar3441]

How do you do the dash cancel? The knk cancel in tekken 8 I can’t really get it I would love feedback form any Leo players

[@ayorichie]

I will bring out a detailed guide soon

[@Nostromo_TK]

God damn, it's finally here and it's a beast of a video. 😂

[@ILOVEGOD46260]

MATE NO OPTIMAL COMBOS ! otherwise kick ass guide this is exactly what ive been looking for

[@ayorichie]

Soon come🫡

[@w2rdog]

been waiting on this, tysm from a new tekken player ❤

[@OJxT]

Just so high quality content, I really enjoyed the guide. Leo is hilarious in Tekken 8, they managed to make the character sound so funny. Finally gives Leo the personality it needed. My favorite quote is „Nicht so!“ when he parries something.

[@leonflorence118]

57 minutes??? Man did his ting

[@RDFLD]

Thanks for the guide mate. I started playing Leo in TTT2 and still suck at it. Love to watch you playing her on streams. Congrats for the #1 rank

[@quincismajors4986]

Thank you..I just started with tekken 8 and this video helped me alot...im doing things I wasn't doing in the other games

[@YoshiExcel]

I am missing Julia so I was forced to find another main. I have played all the characters in the game in ranked to get a feel for all of them. Leo definitely stood out. Even though I played a bit of Leo in T7, he seems much more fleshed out in this game. I don't think I'll be good enough to do iWS 3 combos, but hopefully can still be competitive without it. This guide will help so much, thanks!

[@DaTekkenGod]

Lol funny enough I am also a long time Julia main in disbelief that she's not on the roster. Tried a few characters but easily Leo was the right fit until we get our girl back.

[@YoshiExcel]

@@DaTekkenGod I can't wait. I feel like Julia is going to fit so well with Tekken 8's heat mechanics, I can only imagine what she will be capable of.

[@jayjaysheroah2485]

Oh you’re British!!! Dude! Sick! I was watching you play Leo and I took some notes thank you mate💪

[@Sound0ne]

how do you get rising 1,4,1 out of qcf? i always just get the qcf1 low when trying to do it

[@ayorichie]

Qcf1 and d,df ⭐️ 1 will have you doing two different moves try to practice it a bit

[@RuTo94]

19:24 I just wanna note b1,1+2 on the second time dosent connect on some female characters beacause of there hitbox so you just gotta continue on without it. Love the guide Richie made me change up my playstyle to be a better player 👍

[@Tooglespark]

First Tekken game for me. A random person I played against in the lounge pointed me here. Really excited to get caught up on your Leo content - I plan to main him. ^^

[@nero1995]

Bro, i thought i knew something about her, but now i think i barely scraped the surface lol. Definetly am going to come back plenty of times to this guide.

[@ayorichie]

Good luck taking it all in man🙌🏽

[@LilCramcram]

Best Leo in the world giving out game 💪🏽

I swear I recognize you from somewhere but I know this is definitely my first video of urs 🤔

[@ayorichie]

😂idk I won a huge tournament once

[@jasonbayardelle8108]

Been ignoring other shit waiting for this. Good looks. Keep up the content.

[@urc626]

ONE HOUR VIDEO???? yes please

[@zombecreative]

It seems that everyone's heat engager is +17 which means that would be their universal baseline to balance all moves in this game. I figured it would be slightly different for each character but since they are all the same then it is safe to assume that either most or all of the cast is limited equally to how many moves are plus & to which those plus moves are specifically applied to

[@skyslashnova4308]

i'm a claudio main that kinda wants a different character to play then i saw leo has lightning glare and thought "wow a starburst-adjacent mechanic"

[@ayorichie]

Welcome on-board 👀

[@FolkloreYT]

An amazing guide. Ayorichie is the character specialist that we and Leo truly needed. Also appreciate the fact that the cringe editing is kept to the minimum here.

[@alteo8588]

Would you be able to chapter the video so it’s easier to come back to? Fire guide 🔥

No annotations, no chapters…come on…..

[@burnedpotato1895]

My man dropped a guide right after I gave up on Leo, I'm learning Lili for the time being but Leo gamelay looks so good when you play but I suck at executing his combo.

[@ayorichie]

You’ll get it down, I believe!

[@AzureSkyEditsz]

Beautiful amazing chef kiss

[@andrewy.6810]

I watched this after getting beat up by a Leo player at a local meet up. Now I am thinking about using Leo.

[@ayorichie]

Make the switch lad🫡

[@alteo8588]

The moment we’ve all been waiting for!

[@thomaisho]

You can connect Heat Burst after sabaki parry, and similar counterhits, after a microdash. The qcf pickup is important to learn, however this is still pretty insane I think lol

[@ayorichie]

I didn’t think about that, thanks for letting me know

[@thomaisho]

​@@ayorichie Yeah no prob c:

[@tonytakko3791]

Yeah u can pickup ch ss1+2 with heat burst.

[@onlythestrong8659]

Does down + triangle lunch? I have tried that doesn’t work. It has the same effect as tekken 7.

[@oshycontin]

yeah it launches on counter hit

[@poppop8795]

Great guide. Little long for my taste but it covered literally everything you need to know about the character. Love how smooth he feels now, almost similar to Lei

[@louievazquez5231]

Thanks fam much appreciated.

[@MrMartinio]

Haven't checked in on streams lately, but seen you do uf1,1t! bok1+2 for a wallcombo. Found that doing 1,df1,2, or even better 3,2,3t! on the wall sets up d1+2,1+2 spike perfectly

[@ayorichie]

You can do b1,4 knk3,4 into a 50% scaled ws1,4,1 if you time it right for big damage too

[@crespo858]

Whats yalls button set up for leo? That 3+2 ect is kinda hard. Ps4 controller user here

I really appreciate the Leo content, they're not the most popular character so your videos are helping me figure things out. Thanks :)

[@daviddistefano7623]

Hello i love Leo have u got something in Italian or in English but written? Thank very much❤

[@ayorichie]

Sadly no but maybe you can get someone to translate it for you?

[@Tumbator]

great guide 👍 btw there's also 12B to go into knk

[@JW-pu1uk]

So good but need a short and sweet optimal combo guide. Wall splat included

[@ayorichie]

Coming soon

[@Jetanium]

1:07 i cant do that cancel to save my life. Dropped the whole character because of it.

[@KillingHawk]

today i tried playing LEO after watching your video.. Very interesting and quiet strong character. ❤

[@ayorichie]

Let’s go🔥 hope you enjoy the character

[@KillingHawk]

@@ayorichie yeah....i seriously want to learn this character... This guide is perfect to play leo at top level...

[@reixiii]

lets gooooo thank you sm

[@Gio3409.7]

You the MVP 👊

[@Titan_Teabag]

I may have just found a loop with leo thanks to this vid 😂😂

[@KugutsuYushiro]

About the crouch cancel onto crouch dash thing, looks like you can cancel QCF1 crouch recovery into background SS, and cancel that SS into QCF, allowing this to happen

[@niltondiaz7945]

because of the stances, you have to guess what his next move is. Youd be amazed how many time people fall for the f+4, 4, as well as bc+4, 2. The better you know the stances and transitions, the more aggressive and annoying youll become

[@unknownguy69]

I dont know Why my keyboard Didn't work Back side This Icon ↙ but my key everything working perfectlly

Tbo. I love those allrounder style of Leo.

[@Jonzo_O]

Ooooo time to watch

[@ersoly4851]

[@beavsinator]

Love the way Ayo explains things very simply for us noobs out there. Labbing Leo as an opponent because I keep getting schooled by him (also thinking about trying him myself because his design and functionality is just so cool)

[@crespo858]

Brand new to tekken and im still confused as fuhh

[@isolaking]

What is that double shoulder barge move that Ayo always does? I can’t figure out what it is

[@shanesaesseli3279]

Do you maybe mean b1, 1+2, the one he does as combo filler?

[@gtothee5723]

11:15 can someone give me advice for instant WS moves like WS141 during combo, I keep getting CD1 move. I using stick

[@BJ_DaMan1]

I keep doing qcf by accident on leo, the thing where i swing forward kinda. I play on controller. So i was failing to do df1. Can someone help me?

[@pensologohesito]

I’m a beginner on Tekken and this is an amazing guide. The combos are still a bit advanced for me though. 😅 I mostly use the stance from f4 for combos. But you gave me very good insight on what buttons to use the most.

[@eVuLeX]

the most annoying part about leo ist, you dontsee him at all. didnt change with 8. im 40 hours in, barely any training mode aside from matchmaking and did not face 1 so far. always love to see your leo in tournaments

[@danny1ft1]

Don't suppose you're willing to give a coaching match? lol it's a good video but this game is so much theory it's hard to take it all on board.

[@dam3488]

Yooo anybody have issues dealing with dragonov players who rush you the whole match staggering you with that running launcher hit ?

[@Acksn]

Loved Tekken in 7, just picked up T8 and Leo feels much more powerful now (except that 1,4 keeps baiting me). Thanks for the in depth guide man!

[@wizzgrizzly3277]

Do you have a text version of this? Would love to be able to read the notation while I practice. If not it's cool. Sick guide for a tekken newbie like me.

[@emmanuelmartindale8309]

i've just picked up Leo and she he whatever gender it is was pretty fun but in some cases i had no clue what 2 do and paid for it.. this is a well done vid bro thanx

[@shindig9000]

The heat combos look sick!

[@chc2650]

Heat combos was when this guide got very fun!

[@F.Castle]

so much information man i cant see myself playing more than one character lol

[@ayorichie]

Bro it’s so tough in this game when you have to take in so much info🤣

[@avarast]

Ayy thanks richie, will be taking notes!!! always nice to see your leo!

[@ejdale8472]

Never been a tekken player ddnt know who to pick to play. 2 days in a figure i lile this weird fighting style of this character and so i went for it and started spamming leo. I can already do 10hutbcombos and remember all moves. I can now juggle but not to an extend where i observed other players when they juggle like nobway u getting up

[@ayorichie]

Welcome to tekken and Leo 😎

[@ejdale8472]

@ayorichie ddnt realize how addictive this game can be as soon as u remember moves ubget sonin to it. I havent even figure out how to properly juggle i get around 7 hit when i manage to initate juggle ddnt know how follownup a downed opponent to continue juggle

[@ayorichie]

@@ejdale8472 there are some cool combo guides out there definitely have a look, the game is super addicting I can only imagine entering tekken 8 as a new player

[@ejdale8472]

​@ayorichie hey man thanks for replying. I am still doing tutorial and doing practice ddnt know u can counter opponents attacks. I am still versing AIs finished the arcade on hard and arcade quest. I know to myself i am going to get humbled by veteran players if i jump to player vs player. I am battling ghost and realize these are AI of players play data i see opponents spamming skills and some good ghost can juggle like crazy.

[@spooky4223]

thank you fo the guide ive always wanted to play leo but his input just don't click with me this guide is helping a bit

[@gigabateman9460]

You can get a combo from the b2,4 parry. You can bok 1+2 stomp or 1,2 to combo from there.

[@LitAnimeEdits]

Yo I appreciate the content. Could you do a video on stage specific tools?

[@Qwuiet]

It would be helpful to show the command on screen when you talk about a move
